OrangeStats - Team Fortress 2 log file parser

Orange Stats is a Python script that will parse Team Fortress 2 server log files in order to aggregate the data for later use. Regular expressions capture events as written to the log file by the game server. Each event has a corresponding structure containing various information such as : date , time, victim, aggressor, weapon type, event type and other event specific information. Team Fortress 2 adds a vast array of new gameplay and class specific events which extend the Half-Life 2 log file structure. More information can be obtained from Valve Developer Community here.

Orange Stats will insert extracted data into a database for later use by a web front-end or a Team Fortress 2 in-game plugin. The table schema is a bare bones implementation that supports CP map style gameplay. Design requirements focused on simplicity and light weight code implementation. Following game events are captured and categorized :

• Connect
• Disconnect
• Map load
• Join Team
• Point Capture
• Point Capture Block
• Pick Character Class
• Player Death
• Player Assist
• Revenge
• Built Object
• Destroy Object
• Domination
• Steam user events ( user ticket validation )

Character class specific data extraction works for events such as:

• Sapper events, Uber charge events, Engineer object events

A web front-end will be uploaded along with the database schema as soon as possible. Orange Stats working demo can be viewed here . Web front-end features a slight AJAX touch through PrototypeJS .

Back end runs a light PHP script.
