The Oracle of Death, Part II

[Stomps]

Only seems to do weapons with a period added, otherwise any straight 'ask weapon nnnn' query errors with 'Was that a legit weapon id and period? I didn't get anything back.'

Also how to do group calls? Eg stats on all shotguns, or all pump shotguns but without entering them all individually query line by query line?

Also theres no faction tags on things like liberator belly guns, no idea which is TR/NC/VS after a 'list weapons 115' query

And tank mines/c4 only have one entry for all

just minor problems tho, looks good so far on the whole, nice idea doing it through an ircbot

Would it be possible to get a datestamp on the output when querying a previous period - for looking at trends over time? I guess you will get to adding querying of multiple periods...

Thanks again.

Yeah, I will. I actually added '!oracle list periods' yesterday, but it's outputting in epoch time at the moment - useful for me and SOE, not for anyone else. As an aside, Java date/time handling is by far the worst part of the default language. TL;DR, I'll get it pretty this morning.

As to Stomps's list:

1. It's also possible your weapon id was off. Default periods was working yesterday. I'll take a look and see if I fucked up something.
2. Group calls are next on the feature list. Haven't figured out if I want to add sorting syntax or not, but it should be done this weekend.
3. As mentioned above, I have it, I'm just not presenting it yet. Will fix shortly.
4. What you see is what you get for explosives. That's how SOE records them. There's a real-time resolve workaround I can do for weapons like that since I'm sitting in the raw stream, but it's pretty low on the priority list.

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh mighty Oracle, I beseech thee, share to us your knowledge and understanding of everything PS2.

Is it possible to get Headshot data between factions? Such as specific/general infantry weapon headshots?

[maradine]

Yes. Let's take a look at whether that would be interesting or not:

Period 7, September 20th, All Servers
id 24004: EM4 Longshot
====
Kills: 14,918
Kills that were headshots: 11,662, 78%
Uniques: 1,338
KPU: 11.15
AVGBR: 44.7

id 25004: RAMS .50M
====
Kills: 18,304
Kills that were headshots: 14,322, 78%
Uniques: 1,656
KPU: 11.05
AVGBR: 45.3

id 26004: Parallax VX3
====
Kills: 15,678
Kills that were headshots: 12,538, 80%
Uniques: 1,310
KPU: 11.97
AVGBR: 47.1

I'd call that a hell of a control.

If headshot data is interesting to you, I'll add it to the manifest. It's a simple additional summation in the aggregator over rows it already has to touch every night.

Added a feature to generate kill stats for all weapons of a particular category (type), the output is the standard sum / averaging i've been doing in spreadsheets :
!oracle report <category_id>

where category_id can be found by !oracle list types

e.g !oracle report 4 will output a summary of all shotgun kill stats to date.

Of course raw period data is still needed to track changes over time.

Vehicle deaths are also aggregated in the same manner:
!oracle vehreport <faction_id> <vehicle_id>
