Ability to export damage logs? New Feature Idea #83

Open wgaylord opened 1 year ago

The ability to export damage logs from the client side would be neat because then servers could use them to do statistics since as what traitor items are most often bought, or what detective items are most often bought.

The list could go on and on. Could also use the data to get what guns are used most often and that sort of thing.

I think there are some helpful metrics that could come from the damage logs!

The structure of the data might not be the easiest to work with, since it's designed around accessing logs for rounds.

There could even be an opportunity here to build a new addon, which collects metrics that would be useful for TTT server owners. E.g. popularity of equipment over time (so they can see the effect of changes to equipment & change unpopular equipment)

Making a Damagelogs metrics addon may be the best solution instead of exporting the logs now that I think of it. (Since sending that much data from server to client is never easy.)
