The stats project was an idea Lo and D.Cent had in spring 2008 to re-activate the stats project on http://www.d3stats.de.

[edit] How it should work
The d3stats' servers were too slow to handle all the information. So the data should be handled with effective C++, small file formats and cache files.
Allready written was a working parser for the netgames-files that are printed by Descent3 as well as a collecter for that. The data was written 'as it is' into a binary file to save memory.
If people would request the d3stats homepage, the player's overview should be stored in a small, binary cache file. On further requests, only newer results had to be 'added' to the cache file, which would increase the computing time a lot. If a player would not frequently look at the website, his/her cache should be removed.
[edit] Why the project stopped...
The project took longer than expected, because D.Cent did not finish his code. Since the project was re-activated by some people of DescentForum [1], the development was stopped. The most recent sources can be found on our Upload Tracker.
[edit] Will the project be continued?
The only reason to continue the project would be, that since the stats are reactivated, a lot of information is not collected anymore. However, currently, most of the ODF's members are studying and are busy with the Flight Back project.
