  1. I would like you talk today about Gametracker. Almost all GFL servers have it, and it's pretty useful for tracking your hours and score, as well as ranking servers. Or is it? Simple answer: it is far from it. Not only is it bad at keeping player hours, it's also shitty at keeping their score. And when it's bad at score, things mess up. Even if it kept good score, it's still shitty at keeping an entire player's stats, since it gets its information from the names of the players, not their actual steam account. Because of this, having multiple names creates multiple people on Gametracker, making it even harder to keep track of your own stats, especially if you've forgotten your names or have had so many that you need third party software just to access your previous steam names. And when it messes up? Oh boy, it gets really shitty there. Because it might not keep score on a server correctly, or not give score at all, it makes tracking your stats on that server pretty much impossible. Why? Simply because of how Gametracker works. It doesn't keep track of a person's stats if the stats are too low, meaning having 0 score means you can say goodbye to any stats you thought were being tracked. And when that happens, it breaks a bit. Take for instance the Murder server. For some reason, gaining score on that server is extremely hard to do, and doesn't even translate to kills or wins. Just look at what happened to me.

    Now, to analyse this image. Firstly, you can see I've been playing since October 1st, and it is currently October 14. Knowing this, we can see how illegitimate these stats are. You can obviously see that my all time hours are less than my current hours, which is impossible. Then, you can also see that I have a single score, meaning it took me two weeks just to get a single score. Not only that, but the very fact that it stuck to its 2 hours for all time stats also is really annoying, because it shows it clearly kept some of my stats beforehand. Just saying, Gametracker is a pile of shit.

    @Zero_ thanks for adding uTime for me

  2. Know what, fuck it. I don't give a shit anymore. Who cares about the project? I'm gonna start working on it again in the summer, but for now I'll focus on GFL. Specifically, I'm gonna work to try and get admin. Wish me luck on my new journey, the journey that got me into GFL in the first place.

  3. When I followed the entire Gmod section, I didn't actually expect any posts to be made. So thank you @Fafy, for this post about the jukebox. Even though I'm pretty sure this is not supposed to be in the entire Gmod subforum, but specifically hide and seek since you specifically referenced that server. Anyways, I'm off to unfollow it now.

  4. Ok, well now the project is more of a hobby at this point. Not even. I just get bored trying to make stuff work then hop on Gmod. In hindsight, this post is kinda useless, unless I had said what the project was(it's a secret).

  5. Taking a break from all GFL servers starting tomorrow. Going to start working on a special project, which combined with school work, leaves me no time for GFL. And this project will take me a LONG time. I might come on a sever once in a while, and won't start playing again until the summer. I'll still be on the forums, though, so don't worry. This project is very special to me, and once it's done I will start to really get back into GFL. Wish me luck on it, I'll probably need it.
