UTStatsDB enhancements

[killereye]

Hey Panther,

Nice work on UTStatsDB. A couple of months ago I hacked a few new features in it, to make it look more like UTStats (looks kinda like the same project anyway?).

The few changes are most obvious at:
http://cwlserver.net/stats2004/matchsta ... match=1443
http://cwlserver.net/stats2004/rankings.php?type=2
http://cwlserver.net/stats2004/index.php?stats=credits
http://cwlserver.net/stats2004/index.php?stats=help

- * Added support for country flags
- * Added random character to sidebar
- * Changed how map images are placed
- * Support long lists in ranking, thru diff pages
- * Removed blocks not interesting for iCTF
- * Added credits page
- * Updated help page, now contains more info
- * Merged totals, matchhighs & careerhighs page and adjusted the resulting totals page
- * Removed unnecessary columns like "id" in tables
- * Updated stylesheet

Are you interested in these hacks, or would rather implement em yerself? The code is a bit ugly and very specific to my site, but support for country flags etc. should be easily merged in to your codebase I guess. Most code is based on the one from the UTStats tho (unreal admin license), not sure if that would conflict with your license.

I have done some of that as well.
I would be interested in the mods you did, so I could add what I don't have to my site.

Some of the changes you listed are somewhat dependent on the admin's preferences I'd say, but I know that I should at least finish the help page. Long ranking pages - do you mean where there are a lot of different game types, or separating the pages when listing the top 100? As for the UTStats code base, there is no doubt that there is a lot of code in there "borrowed" from UTStatsDB, with no credit given at all.

Ye rankings are now over multiple pages.

I'll try to pack the changes in a zip anyway, hopefully things like country flags can make it into a new release

I've added multi-page ranking lists, with the ability to search by player ID which will take you to the page with that player on it.

If you would like to see these changes and others, download the SVN version of UTStatsDB but don't run it as your live server stats - upgrading from SVN releases is generally not supported.
