Alright! I have fixed the problem where public reporting would give errors in certain situations. If you still get issues, let me know.
What happened to the quest reporting?
That is a good question! I think it got left out of a recent build. I will try to restore it as soon as possible. Quests got their own category in the rebuild, because they are not always connected to a season the way scenarios are.
EDIT: And it is up. Quests has it's own category now. Let me know if something isn't working for you.

Two feature requests. One small and one, eh, medium.
1: Can you add a link to this thread on the site. Maybe on the known-issues page.
2: I'd like some filtering/sorting options on the My Characters page. Filtering would mainly be show only [non-]core. I've begun to use that page as my default Hmm-who-should-I-play reference. Showing only a single campaign would be handy. Similarly, the ability to sort by level so I can easily look at the PCs legal for that, for example, "core/sub-tier 5-6" table.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Ooh! Just thought of another suggestion. Linking to Tabletop Giant.

Simon - is there something preventing the statistics function from operating? It seemed like it used to update daily but now it shows that the last update was on August 21.
Hey Joe, yeah the daily task doesn't seem to be running properly. I will look into it. I think I just honestly forgot to set it up with the new backend. :)
@Zach: Wooo! :)
@GinoA:
1: I can do that, good idea.
2: For the new profile pages I am extending the character options a little bit, I'll keep this in mind. I am thinking of making it a sortable on column table.
Never heard of Tabletop Giant, interesting. Might look into it.

If they get where they're aiming, I'll end up converting all my PCs over.

@GinoA: Oh that is pretty damn awesome. They are limiting their work to characters? If so, I wonder if we could connect the apps through APIs so users don't have to double work. They seem more equipped to place characters then the sessiontracker is. Cool stuff!
I added that link to this thread. I actually removed my email address, this is more useful in my opinion. :)
@Kahel Stormbender: Good question, no clue. :P

So, here's a request to add to this great application.
First, the story, because maybe I just haven't seen how to do this...
I was looking for a scenario that I haven't played, and the GM that will be running has played (but we don't care if he has GMed it or not). I cannot see how to do this.
Could we have a way to match scenarios a GM has to played to a players list of available scenarios?

I'll make a +1 to this, it took me a while doing this manually for a 6 person group.

I have heard that one before aye. The idea would be rather simple.
"Add a option that shows played info, but does not filter out scenarios" it could be a toggle.
Unfortunately I am extremely busy at work and organising a convention here in the Netherlands at the moment. There is also a known bug with editing characters at the moment.
I promise I will try to get into this one soon, cause it should be not-that-much-work for a lot of gain.

Thanks peeeps :)
I tracked down the bug with characters and fixed it.
I also tracked down a bug where content with multiple authors would count as multiple rows on the page. So if you have a quest with 3 authors it would not show 15 but 12 pieces of content on the page.
And finally... I added a option to not filter out already played content! At least I think I did :P It is hidden at the bottom under 'other' filters. Is that what you were looking for Jack and Incendiaeternus (gawd the spelling .... why! :P)
Let me know if there is anything not working, as always I do not have the time or the people to do a full regression test everytime I change something. :)

Actually, Simon, what I was looking for was a way to filter out unplayed content for a GM.
Removing the filter, does help a little, but here's what I was looking for and why...
When trying to match a GM up with players, it can be more helpful to see what the GM has played vs what he hasn't GMed. This way, we can find scenarios that the GM can run without spoiling them for himself.
Up to this point, your app does a wonderful job of finding scenarios that the players haven't played. However, finding out what they HAVE played is harder (sure you can do it manually off of the app).
Does this make more sense?
I know that most GMs use this to find content that they still can get a chronicle for, but we're looking to find something that the GM has played, and that the players haven't (even if the GM has run it already).
Probably should have made myself more clear above, stating the use case, etc.

FYI this is what I send to Simon:
Imagine there are 4 scenarios: A, B, C and D
I have played A and B and GM'ed B and D
When I am searching for scenarios I can run ABCD will be selected, assuming my players have not played any of these.
I want an option to select only the scenarios that I have played: AB
I also want an option to select only the scenarios that I have GM'ed: BD
Next is the option to select the scenarios that I have played but not GM'ed: A
Finally I want the option to select the scenarios I have played and GM'ed: B
I do not think I want the option to select the scenarios that I have not played and also not GM'ed, but I am sure someone would like this option.

*scribble scribble*
Yeah no worries, I did get asked for the filter that is in now and it took 15 min to implement.
I am first going to reconstruct the part that generates the statistics, since it is current functionality that is not working. After that I think I am going to finish the rework of the progress/profile page for players.
After that, this looks like a nice challenge.
|

After a lot of dataprocessing I got statistics to work again.
I made a few changes in the process.
New is that the total amount of reported scenarios now takes advantage of actually counting the pfs, core, pfs gm and core gm seperately for a player instead of once. So this number is now a lot higher.
On the flipside I noticed that the 'most played' and 'favorite evergreen' statistics are a little less accurate then I wanted. Changing that would require quite some coding though, that I am unwilling to do (at this point, you never know about the future). So I made that clearer by stating it is a 'estimate'.
The player stats are still 100% accurate. :)
And just to reiterate: In any statistic, on the statistics page or your personal progress, I filter out archived scenarios. You can still report them as usual, but I do not count them for anything beyond that.

Our local group has been trying to do something like this for the past few years, and while the spreadsheet has worked well, something like this is an absolute Godsend.
I'm not sure if these features have been requested, but would it be possible to:
1) Create playgroups: Preset groups of players that you can easily add to filters.
2) Statistics view: Let's say the playgroup is store-sized (8+ participants) and you want to see what scenarios are the least played for scheduling purposes.
Thank you very, VERY much for your hard work on this. It's good stuff. :)

Yo! Thanks :) Appreciated.
Yeah those have been requested. They are not the highest priority, but they are up there. It takes a while to do something like that. I would have to update quite a bit and find a way for it to be user friendly. I am thinking at the moment of adding 'groups' to your profile tab so you can make groups. But then of course the next question is to share those groups, which is doable, but takes even more time. ;)
Anyhow it is not what I am working on right now. Been busy at work, but the rework of someone's profile is taking precedence, because at the moment you cannot see a general indication of how much someone has played. It is pretty far along, but will come with moving some things around.

Thanks I have been informed. It is annoying that this is happening now, because at work I am doing extra hours to get our it security stuff in order after a spam attack.
Bottomline: That other site is being the reason again. I will try to get the tracker back up as soon as possible.
EDIT: It is up (temporarily)
|
|
I am now trying to resolve the issue permanently, there will be intermittent downtimes.
EDIT: I have changed the way the tracker starts, it should be stable now. Do keep me informed. I am afraid I just don't have the resources (time mainly) to properly setup a seperate VPS to keep an eye on the uptime of this VPS.

I am a programmer and a security professional by day. I am not a sysadmin by day. I could use some advice on setting up a system that informs me the moment the service goes down, and set up some proper logging for that as well.
So if anyone with sysadmin experience could answer some questions or have some suggestions that would be awesome.
** Technical talk incoming **
It is basically a Node application with a mysql database. The server also runs apache though, for unrelated reasons. Now I have thought about (and tried) to for example have Nagios installed. But nagios cannot mail me about the tracker being down if nagios is on the same VPS and could also be down.
At the moment I use 'forever' to keep the service up, but the logging on that is less then clear. So if anyone has experience with the forever program to keep a node service running... that'd also be nice. :)
When I say forever this is what I mean: https://github.com/foreverjs/forever
I'd be up for using something else to keep the service running as well.
** End tech talk **
Otherwise it really isn't that much work to do the few service requests I get (usually people forgetting their email). The tracker can pretty much run it's own at this point (it is near-sentient!), so I am just coding along on some new features. Unfortunately, work has been really busy as of late, fun, but busy.

I found a minor hiccup. Bronze House Reprisal is a 5-9 scenario, but when I search for tier 5-9, it doesn't show up, even when I don't select any players. It does show up if I only search for season 7 scenarios or when I don't specify any conditions at all.
I made a screenshot of it appearing when only looking for season 7 on the left, and "anything goes" on the right, both in tier 5-9.
I was wondering why it didn't show up when I knew for certain some players hadn't played it, and apparently it sometimes disappears from the page.

Yow! It is actually not gone, it is just sorting a bit weird. If you scroll down on the third page when selecting the 5-9 anything goes you find it as the one above the lowest scenario.
I think I know what is going on with the sorting, I will make a small change to that soon.
In the meantime: Can you confirm it also shows up for you?

I will be doing maintenance/improvements on the mailsystem today. After I am done it should be properly encrypting and in clients like gmail it should show the little lock icon in green as a valid email.
This means that right now password recovery mails will fail until I am finished. This ends your service announcement.
|
|
Alright! We are all set.
SPF, DKIM, TLS, all set. These emails are now the creme de la creme. They should always appear in your inbox and in the case of gmail they will no longer be labelled as insecure (whereas a lot of other, more important mails, are! HA!).
If you still don't get mails properly, contact me please.

Aight, big update. I just put the newest build live. I have reworked a lot of things to be (I hope) more user friendly.
- Setting for showing your characters on your profile added. So get set it under the 'settings' menu!
- Stopped using the PFS-logo. We have all seen that enough haven't we? It took up a lot of space.
- New profile and reporting pages. You can now link to your profile.
- Theme rework: A lot more icons are added, terms made consistent and layouts look the same.
For example this is me: https://www.pfstracker.net/#/players/25642/
Now as always there could be a few bugs around, so tell me please if you find any or if something isn't working like (you think) it should.
