Server High Scores Logging

Coliseum2 has a high scores system that will log the 10 top players on each map and for each timelimit and/or fraglimit setting. If high score logging is enabled, the Mod will create a sub directory inside the coliseum mod directory called "highscores". The high score files are created with the .log extension.

A separate high score file is created for each map with the name of the map and the timelimit ("tl") and fraglimit ("fl") numbers embedded in the filename. For example, a high score file for map q3dm1 played with timelimit 10 and fraglimit 30 will be q3dm1_tl_10_fl_30.log. A high score file for map q3tourney5 played with no timelimit and fraglimit 15 will be q3tourney5_fl_15.log (note the missing "tl_" in the highscore file name.)

High scores will not be logged for CTF games. Also, high scores will not be logged when there is no timelimit or fraglimit. For team deathmatch games, only members on the winning team will be considered for high score ranking.

When there is no timelimit, players will be ranked by FPH (Frags Per Hour). When there is a timelimit, players will be ranked by Frags first and then if more than one player have the same frag count, they will be further ranked by FPH.

The high score files themselves are written out to be easily readable--however, it is not recommended that these file be manually edited. There are sensitive control characters embedded in the files for the purposes of parsing at runtime and manually editing these files may introduce other control characters that may cause the parse routine to read in corrupted data.

Enabling High Scores Logging

To enable high scores logging, it must be enabled using the proper server game rule flag.
