[jimerickson]

i have switched over to v7 and am greatly looking forward to your v7 interface. keep up the good work!

[rhavern]

Sweet! I didn't have to wait long I will have access to the box that needed proxy support Wednesday. I'll report back after I install.

Thanks again for your work.

Strangely on my FCI server, on 30 Dec, I started getting these errors:

Code: Select all

Repeat until now.

Your jmol-projects.xml got corrupted, the file is not complete:

Code: Select all

$ tail /tmp/jmol-projects.xml
    server="171.64.122.108" atoms="392" deadline="12"
    credit="7.6" frames="100" code="T" contrib="JWhy"/>
  <fah_proj number="207" name="p207" public="y" file="xyz"
    server="171.64.122.108" atoms="392" deadline="12"
    credit="7.6" frames="100" code="T" contrib="JWhy"/>
  <fah_proj number="208" name="p208" public="y" file="xyz"
    server="171.64.122.108" atoms="392" deadline="12"
    credit="7.6" frames="100" code="T" contrib="JWhy"/>
  <fah_proj number="209" name="p209" public="y" file="xyz"
    server="17

I recommend to copy the jmol-projects.xml from the FCI tarball, and run fci-update-jmol-projects.pl once manually.

As usual, you are right on the money. Thanks!

Does FCI have the ability to display the combined user points and rank? I've folded for more than one team and can only find stats in FCI grouped by team.

Thanks!

[smoking2000]

No, FCI doesn't have the ability to combine stats for a username.

I chose to keep the stats separate because the same username in different teams doesn't have to be the same person. Nor do the same username in the same team have to be the same person (e.g. '[email protected]' and '[email protected]' both end up in the stats files as 'user' because the domain is stripped from the email address), the only way to keep them apart is their different rank. This is used on the Team Stats pages in FCI instead of combining the users into one, as is done in the stats for my team.

In your case a points and WU total does make sense, but combining the rank does not. Combining the overall rank would mean that instead of grabbing the entries for the users known in FCI from the stats files, the whole ranking needs to be recalculated.

I can add a Stats box below the username & team listings like the one below the client listing with totals and averages. I think that addresses your need some what, and doesn't go into the dark waters of assuming seperate users being the same person (that problem was only recently solved with the passkey, but that's not available in the stats for good reasons).

[rhavern]

That would be excellent, many thanks!

[smoking2000]

New release of FCI: v1.8.4

This release adds Stats boxes to the Usernames & Teams lists, as requested above

The lastest FCI release (and previous releases) can be downloaded from the project website, or you can use the direct link.

[rhavern]

You. Are. The. Man. Grabbed and installed. Thanks!

[rhavern]

That change is quite useful, thanks. Do none of the stats sites have a combined ranking like Stanford does, e.g.:

Code: Select all

Total score 	70497154
Overall rank (if points are combined) 	203 of 1607392

[smoking2000]

The only combining the other stats do, if at all, is to merge identical username in the same team into a single user AFAIK.

I wonder if the "overall rank (if points are combined)" value is calculated only for your username or all usernames in the stats. I think it's the former, but the latter would make more sense for consistency sake.

If EOC or Kakao Stats add the combined rank to their stats, I can integrate that in FCI. The current FCI design does not allow for large scale stats processing.

Hi Smokin', great work as usual !
One comment for the documentation: Today I installed the client on a Fedora 17 (live cd to harddrive installation) and had two small problems:
The last command for building the # Getopt::Mixed is "rpm -Uhv ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/perl-Getopt-Mixed-1.10-1.fc17.noarch.rpm" for Fedora 17 and qd was missing the /lib/ld-linux.so.2, so I had to "yum install glibc.i686".

Thanks/Danke/Bedankt for your efforts
Michael

Hi Michael,

I have testing FCI on the new OS releases (FreeBSD 8.3 & 9.0, OpenBSD 5.1, Fedora 17, CentOS 6) on my TODO list, but I haven't found the time for it yet. Most of my spare time is currently occupied improving OpenStreetMap, mostly to benefit the OpenFietsMap (OpenCycleMap for The Netherlands).

With the rainy weather I think I can find some time to update my VMs and the FCI installation instructions.

Also, regarding v7 support in FCI, I have a development branch with partial v7 support, it uses Net::FAHClient in fci-client.pl to upload v7 client data, but work on this has stalled for the moment.

[rhavern]

Hey smoking2000, any update on a v7 aware FCI? There are now beta WU that require v7, so I'm starting to upgrade the farm bit by bit.

Thanks!
