Global Event Tracker


I wanted to keep track of Global Events; how many I've joined, and when they were ending. I mainly use this for keeping track of medals, so I can go back in a few hours and check to see if I've moved. There's no online/browser version (despite the year being 2012) nor is there an easy (or helpful) way to see this information in-game.

Instructions for Use:
* Fill in track info as detailed or not as you like. it's just text boxes.
* Fill in the days, hours and minutes as shown in "time left".
* Press "GO!" (Reset when complete).

Features:
* Automatically Saves!
* Unique Login!
* Colorization for Events ending soon...
* Some columns now sortable!

Caveats:
* There MAY some race conditions given that I'm using a timer. Reload the page if something breaks.
* Since I'm using a timer, your browser may miscalcuate over long periods of time. Reload the page if something breaks.
* There MAY be display oddities (created by said race conditions above). Reload the page if something breaks.
* I have not tested this for any real length of time (days) Reload the page if something breaks.
* I will be updating this to be prettier (all codes) and more functional. Reload the page.

I update very frequently, if it's broken, wait a few minutes, and reload. I'm probably working on it.

Global Event Finder


I update this whenever there are updates in game (within a reasonable time period). Click and highlight your Favorite Tracks and then click "Save".

This seems interesting. I'd love to see what you do with this from here.

Halo 3 had a WONDERFUL api for you to download all your (and anyone's) stats. I spent the better part of the month creating a private website which downloaded the json files for myself and friends and giving us a personal site with bragging rights. For a good time, call http://halo.ozmonet.com/.

I would've LOVED to do the same thing. I'm a stats junkie. Give me JSON of my data, give me a JSON of current global events. I would've loved to make a website with basic player stats, with a graph of popular tracks, sort-able list of current global events, a medal-tracker to watch while you are work, etc.

Until then, I can't pull any information from RiderNet, and you are stuck with my crappy "offline" version.

As a fellow coder/stats lover, I completely appreciate the effort you're putting in here. As a suggestion, maybe you could take some ideas from the SSX scoreboard system and maybe tweak it a bit and add in more functions. For tracks you could have them all in a dropdown so it's easy to view. Same for the medals input, dropdown menu with gold/silver/etc. Have a user system so riders need to login, and their numbers are saved into a vault. From there you could make another overall leaderboard with the given information. Only problem with this, riders can fake stats.. so validation like the scoreboard would also probably be needed. Just ranting over here making suggestions. You get my thumbs up though keep it up!

UPDATE: version 0.7 released.

* Import/Export Now Works!
* Dropdown for medals and race.

You are welcome, to the two people who actually use it.

There's an iPhone app, right? Maybe there is some way you could reverse-engineer it to see if there's a clean API to get (at least some) user data. Not sure if authentication is required though....

I had thought about that, but I do not have an iPhone. This isn't ideal, as while I doubt the three people who use this (hits went up 50% yesterday!) will hardly cause a problem with EAs server, it's not authorized AND most likely, they are just using a UIWeb call meaning they are serving you webpages, not JSON-y data which is parsed and displayed in your app.

Do I think EA is monitoring their RiderNet web server for hits not from iPhones? Not in the least. However, I'm new here, but I don't think this is the right place to discuss it. This is a fan forum, not a hacking one. My website was meant to augment and enhance your experience with SSX. I just wanted to give a little light to the world. It's something I made for myself, that I thoughts others might use and I didn't want to be stingy.

I certainly don't want anyone PMing me with how they can help. Serious questions only.

UPDATE 0.8 RELEASED!

* SECURE Login (via Facebook)
* Auto Save/Load
* New Sexy URL ssx.ozmonet.com

I found a problem with the way modern browsers store large cookies, so I decided to save to disk. In order to get a unique ID, and auto save/load your data, I had to implement a login. Since Facebook does a secure login, I used theres.

I DO NOT USE ANY FACEBOOK DATA other than your userID. I don't care who you are, I don't care what you like, I don't want to post on your wall, and I won't email you.

How do I log in? Where it says to log in is just text not a link

I've been using the event tracker for a few days now, and it works great.

I just saw you added an event finder. What a great surprise to find when loading up my event tracker!

Yes, still working out the bugs, but it is stable. I have yet to announce it. SSH!!

If this helps ozmo, I logged out of facebook, then in via your link, I got a different error to before:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Facebook::getSession() in /homepages/23/d89382179/htdocs/ssx.ozmonet.com/secure.php on line 11

yes please try again.

UPDATE: This project has just turned POINTLESS.

With the Proposed Global Event Changes, I will be unable to update the Finder EVERY DAY unless they come out with an API. The site will quickly become stale as Global Events change on a day to day basis. The tracker may still be useful, but not with very short events.

I am sorry, this is out of my hands. Until there is an API for getting Global Events and Rider data, this will quickly become pointless to maintain and update daily.

You may still use it, and I will still update it because I will use it for myself, but the 40 or so people who use it regularly. I'm sorry.

I would love for an API to be released, projects like yours are great content extensions in multiplayer games.

Maybe as a stopgap they could release an RSS feed of what the current GEs are?

Well, I really appreciate all the work you put in, and both the finder and tracker have been extremely useful. At least the changes that are being proposed will reduce the need for the tracker and finder instead of just doing something that makes implementation impossible but leaving us needing something like this (like moving the big drop cost events around randomly every 20 minutes). I'll keep using it as long as I can manage to keep my tracker updated, and the developers will probably continue to tweak the GEs, so who knows what the setup will be like in the future.

I've been saying the same thing, atleast a RSS to work with would be nice. Ozmo thanks for the idea and work you put in, it was starting to come along Hopefully everyone can meet in the middle somewhere and get this thing off the ground.

I hate you Bildi. Try again. You really need to hit me up on IRC so I can test this without 6 hours passing

Sorry dude, I'd love to but I'm at work and literally have just a few minutes every hour or two spare so chat doesn't really work. I got this error just now:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /homepages/23/d89382179/htdocs/ssx.ozmonet.com/secure.php on line 31

Ok, we'll keep playing the "try again" game. Try again.
