Announcing SinisterGaming Sledbuild HLstatsX Stat Tracking

May 23 - =SG= goarack | 0 Comments

We are also rolling out something new for Garry’s Mod Sledbuild on SinisterGaming.

Sledbuild now has custom HLstatsX stat tracking built specifically around the gamemode.

This is not regular kill/death stat tracking. Sledbuild needed its own setup, so the system has been customized to track racing activity, player progress, wins, finishes, records, awards, ranks, and server activity in a way that actually makes sense for the gamemode.

Current Sledbuild tracking includes:

- Race starts
- Race finishes
- Race wins
- Race losses
- Solo wins
- Duo wins
- Multi-player wins
- 1st place finishes
- 2nd place finishes
- 3rd place finishes
- Race records
- Total races
- Total race time
- Top speed
- Map changes
- Endurance racer activity
- Player rankings
- Daily awards
- Global awards
- Server stats
- Map stats
- Weapon/stat compatibility through a custom Sledbuild stat setup

The HLstatsX pages have also been cleaned up and improved so Sledbuild looks and works better inside the stats system.

The GUI is much better now, with improved layout, cleaner stat pages, working awards, working rankings, better player pages, better map/server visibility, and a setup that fits Sledbuild instead of trying to force it to act like a normal shooter.

The goal is simple:

Make Sledbuild stats actually mean something.

Race activity, wins, records, top speeds, and long-term player progress can now be tracked properly.

This is part of the bigger SinisterGaming rebuild. We are bringing the old community systems back online, but with better tracking, better stats, better server support, and more reasons for players to actually compete again.

Come race, build something stupid-fast, wreck it, rebuild it, and get yourself on the stats board.

Announcing SinisterGaming ARK HLstatsX Stat Tracking

May 23 - =SG= goarack | 0 Comments

We are rolling out something new for SinisterGaming.

ARK: Survival Ascended HLstatsX stat tracking is now live for testing.

This is a custom integration built to bring real ARK server activity into HLstatsX. The goal is to give ARK players more than just a basic server list. We want real activity, real player history, real tribe tracking, real PvP stats, and real cluster-wide progress.

The system is currently tracking and testing things like:

- Player joins and disconnects
- Live server status
- Server population
- Map and cluster activity
- Tribe creation, joins, leaves, and membership
- Tames
- Baby claims and baby raises
- Creature kills and creature deaths
- Player deaths
- PvP kills
- Transfers and travel activity
- ARK event history

A small PvP test cluster has also been opened so we can put the system through its paces and make sure the stats are being picked up correctly.

Current PvP test servers include:

- The Island PvP
- Astraeos PvP
- Aberration PvP
- Lost Colony PvP

The PvP test cluster is running with intentionally high rates right now. Harvesting, taming, breeding, baby raising, and progression are boosted hard on purpose.

This is not the final balance. This is for testing.

The faster players can build, tame, raise babies, transfer, fight, die, and rebuild, the faster we can test the stat system and make sure HLstatsX is catching the right activity.

This is still live testing, so expect changes, tuning, cleanup, and improvements as more gameplay data comes in.

The goal is simple:

Make ARK stats mean something.

Come jump in, test it, break it, fight it out, and help us build the next piece of SinisterGaming.
