Demigod Pantheon Statistics - Log/Info/Suggestions

I want suggestions!

Published on March 5, 2009 By GunslingerBara In Demigod

Hello everyone,

As Stardock's web developer, I was tasked with creating a statistics website for Demigod using the ungodly amount of data we (will) have available to us. That website is now located at http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com. A bunch of you already saw the "beta" version a few weeks back. While this site is still a beta, I am happy enough with it to remove the beta message that was at the top of the page in the previous version.

Today I pushed an update that added a bunch of new statistics, pages, and a slight redesign. Starting today I will be keeping a log of changes to the site in this post. I will also be checking for any suggestions, ideas, or feedback you guys may have on the site, so feel free to reply with any ideas.

Please keep in mind that the site is still a work in progress. Some numbers are still off, the design will likely be changed some more, and we will be adding more statistics in the future. It will likely be updated a few more times before Demigod's release.

Change Log:
9/21/2009
- Fixed how player stats are saved to the database, so custom games now count for Ladder Rankings/Experience (not all custom games though, just ranked custom games).
- Added Notes tab to player pages. This will allow you to view and manage private notes for other players, which will eventually appear within Demigod itself. Only you can view notes you've written, and you cannot view other's notes or notes written about you.
- The player stats on the left side of the primary player page now includes a small description for each stat.
- Fixed minor bugs with graphs.
- Fixed other minor bugs.

I will see what I can do about the screen shots. Basically at the end of the game it shows that I gain x amount of favor points. When I start the next game it shows the negative when I click on the buy favor button. At that part I can click on the last Item that I bought, but any previous Items are gone.

For example. I start a game with -210 favor points listed. At the end of the game it shows on the scoreboard that I gained 190 favor points. At the start of the next game, I click on the buy favor item, and it shows me having like -290 or -110 or even positive 200 sometimes, heh.

I renamed the old log and I am going to play another game and post the log from start to finish for that game.

It looks like we are having some NAT/server issues for the moment. Please wait a short while as we try and resolve issues then try again.

Ok, this is the DemigoldLog.txt from my most recent game. I will break it into a few posts since it is pretty long. The only change was to delete the hex pw in case it is readable some how.

I can see a few errors in the DemiodLog with getting info from impulse. I can post more logs or parts of logs of whatever you guys need, or email them if you prefer not to have walls of text.

Edit: Notice that it has me listed as favor earned 90 and the guy below me at 160. This was actually backwards from what the score screen said in game. Also it was only a 6 player game with all live players. I am unsure why it has loss info for more players. Maybe that is what is causing the negative favor?

Edit 2: This part stood out as well. Looks like it had an issue with the game data?

info: Error from CVP. Reponse XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><CVPPostCompletedTournamentGameInfoResponse><ResponseCode>5506</ResponseCode><ResponseMessage>The tournament game data does not exists. Please check the data you are submitting to make sure it is correct.</ResponseMessage><TournamentStatus>0</TournamentStatus></CVPPostCompletedTournamentGameInfoResponse>

First off thank you for all the work you have been doing to improve things. It has been a great help to us all.

I too have been having problems with my account. My stats have not updated since I first bought the game (Last Sunday). I am also unable to search my name.

Bara negative favor is happening in Pantheon only I can play custom and I gain favor no problem. I go back to pantheon and the negative favor happens again so this is a online multiplayer issue.

I just checked the database and found no instance of negative favor points anywhere. If negative favor points are showing up in your game, then somehting else is happening. Could you take a screenshot so I can show GPG?

Hope that picture helps Bara! Taken after 5 Pantheon Games Tonight

stormcrowpvp, I removed your logs from the posts because they were making the thread far too large. You can still view them by clicking on "View Edits." For the time being, I'm taking a look and trying to re-create why your games aren't being saved. I'm also looking through Demigod's server logs to see if anything strikes me as odd. In the meantime, as you play games, check the site and see if they are being saved at all, and let me know when they do.

Neois-Sexy, your stats are not being saved either according to the database. Could you please go to your My Documents folder, then: \My Games\Gas Powered Games\Demigod, then email me the DemigodLog.txt and ImpulseReactor.log files. Please attach the files, do not copy/paste them into the email body! I have PM'd you my email.

Dark_Genocide: If you could do the same as above, that would be helpful. I have PM'd you my email as well.

HorseRadish: I didn't realize that the achievement items page lists your favor points too. That, actually, is the single player favor points, and does not affect the multiplayer afaik. However, GPG has a solution and should be pushing it out soon. I believe they're currently testing it (unless they pushed an update late last night that I don't know about).
