PSYCHOSTATS INSTALLATION TUTORIAL FOR WINDOWS

 

Introduction

PsychoStats version 3.x is very easy and quick to install on any system. It includes an online installation wizard that you run through your browser. Follow these simple steps and you'll be up and running in no time. This documentation is for VERSION 3.x. All documentation for version 2.x is gone. Upgrade to v3 as support for v2 is depreciated. People are often very confused about how PsychoStats actually works. PsychoStats is software that relies on other technologies such as a WebServer like Apache and a database server like MySQL. You must be familar with these types of servers in order to use PsychoStats. And you must have access to a web and mysql server.

 

There are 2 parts to PsychoStats:

- Backend Perl Scripts

The backend takes care of the actual log parsing and updates. This is where the primary "stats.pl" perl script is run to fetch, parse and record log data from the game server(s) into the database.

Note: The system that runs these updates (Windows or Linux) is what defines which archive you should download a nd install.

- Frontend PHP Website

The frontend takes care of the interface that the user actually see's and interacts with. This is a set of PHP pages that interact with the same database as the backend so users can view the stats online.

 

Minimum Requirements

 

- PHP v4.3 (or 5.0+)

- MySQL v4.1.11 (or v5.0+)

- Perl v5.8 (Windows users: ActivePerl 5.8+)

Required Perl modules

- DBI

- DBD::mysql

Optional Perl modules

- Net::SFTP - This is only required if you need to download logs via an SFTP server. Note: This module has a lot of extra dependencies. Too many to list here.

 

These requirements are the bare minimum that ensure PsychoStats will work. If you attempt to use older versions you run the risk of stats updates crashing or invalid statistics from being recorded. Users having problems with the software that are running older versions of these requirements can not be supported.

 

Download Psychostats

Download the current release from the PsychoStats Downloads. Be sure to download the Windows archive.

 

Installation

Unzip the archive somewhere on your system. It does not matter where you do this. It's not required (nor desirable) to put this directory inside your web server directory root. Having the full unzipped archive in your web server's document tree means that users could potentially view your stats.cfg and get your database information.

 

Before you can run the Installation Wizard to finalize your installation you need to copy the frontend web files to your web server. This should be the only manual part of the installation you have to perform.

 

Most users running web servers on Windows tend to use the IIS web server from Microsoft. The document root for IIS is usually something like: c:\wwwroot. Thats the directory where you want to copy the PsychoStats web directory into.

# Browse to the PsychoStats directory from the archive you unzipped.

# Right click on the upload directory and select "Copy".

# Browse to the document root of your website (ie: c:\wwwroot).

# Right click somewhere in the window of that directory and select "Paste". The files should copy over in a few seconds.

 

You should now have the upload directory copied into your web server document root. You probably don't want that directory to stay with the name of upload. So rename it to something more meaningful like stats. You can right click on the directory and select "Rename" to change the name of it.

 

So in the end you should have a directory of something like: c:\wwwroot\stats and in that directory will be all the PHP files and sub-directories that make up the PsychoStats frontend website.

 

For example, to start the installation use a URL like this: http://www.yourdomain.com/stats/install/index.php

Be sure to use a proper domain name in the URL to where your website is actually hosted.

 

Edit the stats.cfg with the proper database settings so PsychoStats can connect to your database.

 

All Done! Now you just need to run the stats.pl to update your stats. If you have shell access on your server then just run:

 

./stats.pl -v

      La2Tools — Lineage 2 Texture Pack Editor 3.0.3

      By La2Tools · Posted

      Update: Version 3.1.2: * Improved compaction: deleting even a few textures now always reduces the file (previously small deletions could still slightly grow some packages, such as fonts); Version 3.1.1: * Deleting textures now actually shrinks the package: on save it is automatically compacted, reclaiming the space of the deleted textures (format and encryption preserved); Version 3.1.0: * La2Tools now checks for updates on startup and lets you know when a newer version is available on the site; Version 3.0.9: * Fixed textures that appeared blank in some clients (their object carries an embedded shader the reader mis-parsed) — they now decode and display correctly; * ShaderCode is now editable: Texture Properties → Material → ShaderCode shows the texture's real HLSL shader (was a fixed placeholder before); edit it and Apply — works across client formats (Interlude-era through Essence 542); Version 3.0.8: * BMP now imports as a native format, like UnrealEd: 8-bit BMP becomes a P8 (paletted) texture with a real Engine.Palette, 24/32-bit becomes RGBA8, 16-bit becomes G16; * Compress to P8 — adaptive 256-color palette (median-cut quantization); P8 is also selectable as an import "Convert to" target; * Copy / Cut / Paste now works for P8 (paletted) textures; * Non-power-of-two textures are highlighted in red (tiles and table) with a tooltip; new "Fix texture size" menu item pads them to a power of two while keeping the displayed size; * Reads "broken" packages that were tampered to block editors (corrupted size fields) — the client still loads them and now so does La2Tools; * "Repair package" — shown only for a tampered package (its tab is marked red) and restores the corrupted size fields; * Added client license 30 support (reads and imports its textures); * Import dialog now auto-resizes to fit its content; Version 3.0.7: * Import: the file name is now parsed smartly — package.group.name automatically fills the Group and Name fields (the package prefix is ignored); * Import: live name validation with an inline hint and tooltip — OK is blocked until the name is valid (allows - + ' etc., forbids only characters illegal in file names); * Import: textures whose size is not a power of two are now auto-padded for ALL formats (DDS/TGA/BMP too, not only PNG/JPG/GIF) — padded to a power of two with UClamp/VClamp preserving the original display size; * Texture filter now has a clear (×) button; * Light theme: visible Chrome-style tab outlines; Version 3.0.6: * "Save as..." — toolbar button and tab-menu item: save a package under a new name to any folder, choosing the format (Old/New) and Lineage2Ver121 encryption; the tab switches to the saved file; * Tab right-click menu reworked: Save, Save as... and Settings on top; Copy path and Open in Explorer at the bottom; Version 3.0.5: * Animation grouping now follows AnimNext links instead of frame names — chains group correctly with any naming (mixed prefixes, non-sequential or 0-/1-based numbers); * GIF import: animation parameters (frame rate) and TotalFrameNum are now written only to the first frame, the rest keep just the AnimNext link — matches the game's own format; same fix applied to "Create animation"; Version 3.0.4: * Clipboard <-> Explorer: Ctrl+C in the browser then Ctrl+V in Explorer pastes the textures as files; copy files in Explorer then Ctrl+V in the browser imports them; * Rename a package right from Package settings (handles Lineage2Ver121 re-keying); * Hotkeys: F1 (About), F2 (rename), F5 (reload from disk, asks if unsaved), Delete, Enter (Properties), Ctrl+W (close tab); * The application icon now appears in the title bar of every dialog and sub-window; * Fixed flipped preview when importing TGA files;  Download (Installer) |  Download (Portable)
