Map plays tool

Is there any kind of tool embedded in Bitfighter that tracks the number of times each map is played? It would be nice to know how many times various maps are played to see what's most popular.

This information could then be used to compile map playlists more effectively.

Do you mean how many times you've played a map? That might be in the statistics database on the master server; I don't know if it's accessible, but maybe we could write a query to expose it.

Statistics are only recorded if a game has finished. But yes, they are saved in the master database (minus 7 months of stats from the last bitfighter.org crash)

But maybe a game 'finishing' is exactly what you want anyways - it'll show that a level was at least good enough to finish (hopefully).

I came up with a master server query to get this list of 100 most played (and finished) games in the last year:

You probably want to ignore the stock levels. Also, levels with a blank name are curious... I wonder why some are saved like that. Maybe from the editor?

That is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks raptor!
