When playing on a server, assuming I've enabled the option in my
profile, I should have my stats submitted to stats.xonotic.org and have
a player profile made where my wins and losses are visible.
This isn't working. I asked in the #xonotic IRC and it sounds like this
sometimes happens from a certain file being left out of distro packages.
"it tends to happen when using linux distro packages that omit
key_0.d0pk" is the exact quote.
This stats reporting does not seem like a privacy concern, and it's
optional, so I doubt it was broken on purpose. Hopefully someone can fix
it. I think the option adds some fun to the game and makes the community
feel more alive. I would like to see my stats tracked properly.
Hopefully I've given enough info for someone to look into this!

Hullo bdju,

We don't omit the file. It's in the root of the upstream
xonotic-0.8.2.zip & is copied to <xonotic-data>/share/xonotic
which is then symlinked to <xonotic>/share/xonotic:

λ ls $(guix build xonotic)/share/xonotic
data/ key_0.d0pk server/

Perhaps the engine has trouble finding it, or perhaps it's not the
reason for your missing stats after all.

I'm downloading the (gig of) sources to take a closer look on the
bus.

Certainly not!

Unfortunately no progress was made there, as Xonotic consistently
failed to start at all. I got the Cool Earth background, but no
main menu. Had to kill it -9. Once I got off and connected to
wi-fi, Xonotic started fine.

I'll report it as a separate issue if it happens again, but
turning off wi-fi and removing ~/.xonotic did not allow me to
reproduce it.

Weird.

I just played Xonotic again recently after a long break and can confirm
it's still not working as desired. I found the game I played on
stats.xonotic.org and my name is not clickable unlike my opponent's
name.
I'd be interested to hear if you can get any further in trying to test
the game now.

Hi,

As I understand the statistics should also be opt-in to be compliant
with the FSDG and GDPR, and currently they will be opt-out when they
start working.

If you run Xonotic for the first time, after agreeing to the services
TOS, that basically tell you that TOS apply to stats.xonotic.org and to
the xonotic-forum, you are asked if you want to "Allow player
statistics to use your nickname at stats.xonotic.org?".

It also tells you that "Player statistics are enabled by default, you
can change this in the Profile menu". And so even if you select "no" or
"undecided", you are tracked.

Parabola also has a similar issue: https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3402
though I've not checked if statistics collection work there.

So maybe we could:
(1) Somehow find a way to make statistics work again
(2) Disable statistics by default
(3) Change the text telling users that statistics can be enabled in the
profile menu.

This looks relatively easy to do but it might not work for
translations. So maybe we could do that and try to upstream a patch for
it? Or do people have another idea.

Also should I open a separate bug for that issue because while it
touches the exact same functionality and that both probably need to be
tackled together technically speaking it's a separate issue?

Denis.
