New Stats and APBBR Options

**UPDATE**
Ok I think I have crippled the initial bugs, however if you find anymore please post them. I'm going to have the remove the win/loss code by the looks of it as it refuses to work for no real good reason.

This is effectively a trial period, nothing will be final until next Sunday when the database will (hopefully) have one last wipe before everything being for real.
**UPDATE**

I will be testing the new bot and stats well through the night, it will be happening on the official server as this is the best way to do it.

Please be patient as there will be bugs I have missed and I will have to fix things on the fly.

AWESOME!

But... umm... What is new?

Rank images now display a country flag, win/loss/draw and clan (if applicable).
Old rank image (style 1) removed due to lack of space and image stretching issues.
Completely re-designed database.


And I think that about covers the web side of things or atleast the bits people will not find really boring.

Instead of going into huge detail about the bot I'll just give you a list of the most important things from a players point of view.
New reccomendation system:
Basically the old system was well rubbish and took loads of database space up. So I replaced it with a set of pre-defined reccomendations with their own id's. It still store the same amount of information but uses a lot less space.
Here's what you can get:
Best Allied K/D Ratio
Best Soviet K/D Ratio
Allied MVP
Soviet MVP
Most Allied Kills
Most Soviet Kills
Stealing a Vehicle
Preventing a Nuclear Strike
Killed 3 Heavy Enemy Vehicles
Killed 5 Light Enemy Vehicles
Destroyed 2 Enemy Buildings
Good Support
Repairing the Base
Moderator Recommendation (can only be given by mods, admins and devs.)
Killed 5 Light Enemy Infantry
Killed 3 Heavy Enemy Infantry
GeoIP and Google Earth:
I won't go into massive detail on how this all works because it's a lot easier than it appears. Basically you're IP now resolves to wherever the database thinks you're from. It will never be 100% accurate and people won't be able to
look into your window through Google Street View so don't start panicking either.
The clan system:
At long last we have a working clan system! You administer your clan from IRC but more on that later. The clan system basically takes an average score from all the players in your clan and gives you your clan rank. This is for
both ongoing and monthly ranks, this also means that whilst having a huge clan is cool and all smaller clans are also given a chance to make it up the ladder.

As I said earlier this all works through IRC and rather than redo what I have already done I'm going to just link you to the help page here.
Various new logging:
I've added quite a bit of new logging which may or may not be of interest to you, here they all are:
Country
City
Longitude
Latitude
Monthly & Ongoing play time
Monthly & Ongoing wins
Monthly & Ongoing losses
Monthly & Ongoing draws
Last online
Registration date
Allied and Soviet wins
Allied and Soviet losses
Allied and Soviet draws
Allied and Soviet time played

New Stats??

Yes new stats and ranks.

Yes new stats and ranks.

Umm what?

Good riddance, leftovers of the 1.2.0 whoring!

APB is getting sweeter by the minute

Well done APB team

Did the old stats got erased?

No, the old stats are archived on the page under what version they were a part of. The stats did reset though. And this was not the APB team, it was all oxi.

Well dome OXI !!

SO now we can restart? Oxey you've done a grand job mate. Keep on rocking.

Awesome, thanks!

Nice, but I'd like to keep all of my reccomendations, medals, etc. Other than that, I have no complains about it.

I, personally, am glad that all the 1.2.0 sniper whoring, ranger whoring, and pointwhoring is gone from the stats forever.
