We’ve been hard at work improving the backend of the DaddyPlaysGames.com gaming community, and today we’re excited to share some of the latest updates that will make our systems faster, smarter, and more reliable.

🎯 Round-Tracking System

One of the biggest changes is the introduction of a round-tracking system. From now on, every initiated round on a server is registered as its own unique entity. All events that occur during that round are directly tied to it. Why does this matter?

• It gives us cleaner and more reliable data.
• It allows for detailed round-specific analysis (instead of mixing all-time stats).
• It opens the door for richer features in the future, like round-based highlights, detailed breakdowns, and smarter insights.

⚡ Faster & Cleaner Scoreboard Parsing

Previously, scoreboards were generated by collecting all-time player data from a server and then crunching numbers whenever someone requested a page. This method was not only slow, but also prone to inaccuracies. Now, scoreboard parsing is handled directly on the API logmachine, and we’ve added a new API endpoint to deliver the complete scoreboard of the current round ordered by kill-count for any server. This means:

• Much faster scoreboard loading.
• More accurate, real-time results.
• Less server strain during peak activity.

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements

• Gamemode registration bug fixed – There was a flaw in how applied gamemodes were being logged, sometimes leaving a NULL value in the database. This issue has been resolved, ensuring consistent gamemode tracking.
• Automatic max player stats – On every server boot, the logmachine now automatically extracts the max_players
statistic. This helps us better understand player capacity trends without extra manual input.

🚀 What’s Next?

These changes set the stage for a more robust backend that can handle deeper insights, richer stats, and faster responses for our community. As always, our focus is on making DaddyPlaysGames.com a place where both casual players and hardcore stat nerds can enjoy smooth, reliable gameplay tracking. Stay tuned—more exciting updates are on the way!
