Cerebrum Halo CE Game Tracking

Didn't e3po already do this?

There has yet to be a complete stat tracking application for Halo CE. There are a number of sites out there that can track basic information like kills, but we're recreating the entire Halo 3 game and service record experience.

Also, someone go bump my threads on HaloMaps and HaloMods so people read them, I've never been well respected at HaloMods and no one knows me at HaloMaps. (Links at the bottom of the OP)

E3po did make one. He teamed up with halo Guru with it as well. He used a direct x hook and had it upload stats on his site. But when he made it, it only tracked a user's death. And it was easy to exploit. Hope this one is better.

Alright, here's some theory about something I want to do with Synapse-enabled servers and an extra client app: km00 has already expressed his anger at the complexity of the UI system in Halo, but I still want to see a medal display on the client-side during a game. Using a third-party app that creates a render overlay (like so many apps do) we can display medals by syncing with Synapse server, which can do all the calculations itself. Our client app can receive UDP packets saying what icon to display, and it can even play a sound (might want to not play a sound for the double/triple, killing spree, etc., obviously).

That's just my update for the hour... back to my H3 Swat...

i subscribed to this thread. would also love to beta when the time comes
E: and so this is supposed to track what weapon killed who like halo 3? how will it work with custom weapons or on a cmt map?

Can you download Cerebrum and test it out or is it closed betas?

I have a halo 2 vista server that I host from time to time, I could help test it for you.

The system will also track exactly how a player is killed. The weapon is recorded by its actual tag, so custom weapons can be tracked as well. As long as map makers separate their tags from the default Halo tags (and anyone else's), we'll get accurate recording.

Cerebrum can not be downloaded, it doesn't work that way. Synapse will be available when it hits beta, but please, post in the right thread and don't derail this one.

Dennis demands that the global ban-list be opt-in. Thoughts?
