[META] Xonotic stats: two me?

Mod Edit:

Player merges are no longer supported by the team

So, if you have - for whatever reason (OS change, HDD crash etc etc) - a new ID just write it here with the IDs.

This way we don't need a new topic everytime.

They will be merged a few days after, because I collect a bunch first.
Besides that I notice it anyway 99% of the times!

Today i had to clean all Xonotic files on my computer and repack anew game. When I open Xonotic, game asked me about my nickname etc. Everything looks ok, but when I checked my stats on stats.xonotic.org, I saw there are two players named Delusion (that's me ) and now all my progress is linked to this "new" me . Is there any option to merge this two players stats or I lost all previous progress?

I hope someone will help me

I just merged your two player records. You are now at http://stats.xonotic.org/player/2252. Have fun!

Same hyaw. Not looking forward to merging with former flam though.... that guy sucked!!!

I also have an issue where we had two PC's hooked up via the same router and the stats site was blurring our records together in some way I couldn't quite figure out... Look at player record MiMi.

BTW Antibody, why the doubling of records? I thought stats tracking was IP based, or some key?

Thank you Antibody !

A key file serves as unique user ID. If you remove your entire personal directory, you remove the key file too, and a new one is requested to the server when you start the game. Hence the new identity.

Also if you play from two different computers: two keys, two player records in stats. I can merge them...just give me some time.

Thx Mr Bougo! So I should retain my key if I reinstall etc?

Antibody - it was (is) a different person playing, but from Mr Bougo's description it makes sense since I copied the whole game directory to that computer I guess I should delete that key file to generate a new profile?

THE MORE YOU KNOW!

You will retain your key if you restore it along the rest of your data directory. It's really just a few files (the files called "key" something) in your root xonotic personal directory. That's the parent directory to the data directory which contains config.cfg. Usually located somewhere in My Documents\Saved Games or something similar on windows.

key_0.d0si
key_0-public-fp.txt

Windows? Bleh. I found the same files under home/.xonotic

They're both me:

http://stats.xonotic.org/player/2030
http://stats.xonotic.org/player/6343

Today I was playing on another machine, but I wanted all data to be stored in one account.

What can I do?

They're*

Wait patiently for Antibody to notice your thread. Perhaps there should be a thread dedicated to this so that he may follow it. It's only doable manually now.

Next time, make sure to carry over your player keys to the other machine.

Player keys? What file is that exactly?

key_0.d0si in your personal directory.

Just noticed this - probably best to ping me w/ a forum PM or on IRC. You can also ping Mirio who is my official Vice President of Player Statistics. He vets the merges for accuracy and submits files to me for batch processing.

Players are manually merged, and it will be like this for the forseeable future. This is one of the drawbacks of having a "frictionless", no-login-required system: I rely on unique player hashkeys which can be altered either accidentally or intentionally. Give me a little bit and I'll merge your two records.

Done. Here's what changed:

Code:

xonstatdb=> select merge_players(2030, 6343);

I already had him in my list.

Thanks for merging me with myself

Thanks Mr. Bougo - I've corrected the typo.

As this is done, and I now know that there's a user key...

Can I make myself a portable Xonotic? I actually did this, but Xonotic didn't have a portable "home" directory with it on the USB stick. I'd then carry the user key with me, but not copy in on local hard drive wherever I'm running the game.

The only thing is to make the game use some pre-defined directory instead of the ~/.xonotic to prevent saving any data on machine I run the game on.

write a batchfile or shellscript that runs xonotic with "-home $yourdir$" where $yourdir$ is your usb drive letter or path.
at least I think -home is enough,
might be harder to figure out what variable holds the location of your usb mount if you are on windows

You can also use -nohome to make use of the install dir as the personal data dir instead of having a separate personal data dir.

Since I have several computers (locations) can I copy the keys from my main one and use them for the other computers? Two are Linux and one is Windows.

Sure, you can copy the keys. You want to copy the key_0.d0si file.

hi Antibody,

I need your help too
... because of a computer accident I lost all my configs and id ...

After new setup I have a new id

Before: http://stats.xonotic.org/player/2878
New: http://stats.xonotic.org/player/25797

Would you merge all old stats to the new identity??

Thank you very much

You can PM Mirio for this.

It's in the list for merges already - just needs a few days.

Solved I guess.
