Hey, no slight to Plako's amazing work, but OverloadUT replied to me:

OverloadUT Wrote:Hey there - I got your tweet! I uploaded a new version of the CivStats Uploader here:
http://civstats.com/downloads/CivSta...er_1.5.3.0.zip

However, please note that this is completely untested. I literally searched the code for "32", found a "Players" array defined as such, and changed it to 64. I haven't touched this code in 6 years (!!!) and I was honestly super surprised that it just compiled with no issues.

So, please let me know if it works!

I also updated the Readme with an email that actually works these days

Well that is pretty fantastic. Thanks WLP for tracking him down thumbsup. Guess the next step is for Caledorn to try it out and see if he can make it work that way?

That is great! Let's try it out.

I did whip up a quick webapp to display plako's logs - here's the code:
https://github.com/novice-rb/pitboss-portal/
I have to run.

Here's a link to a built version of said webapp if Caledorn wants to try out hosting such an app.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1521...portal.zip

1. Unzip to inetpub\wwwroot\pitboss-portal folder
2. Edit web.config file with correct paths to time.txt and score.txt (or leave unchanged to use test data)
3. Open IIS Administrator, browser to the pitboss-portal folder, right-click, create application.
I have to run.

Sorry, but that didn't work. I immediately got an error message after selecting the pitboss.exe file that states:

Line 5713 (File "my/path/to/CivStatsUploader.exe"):

Maybe, as someone who has zero understanding of these things, maybe I'm not seeing the insane amount of work I'm talking about, but I think Plako's idea is fine, at least for mod games?

It works for me, but I can't test that yet. I just wanted to test the Civstats thing since that was readily available for me to test smile
