Hello, Yes I recently had to move my UT3 game to another machine hince having to go with another IP address. I have the same port and and server name. It is really going to suck if all the stats that I have acquired for players are going to be lost because I have to create a new game tracker page. Why is there not a spot to adjust the IP change so I don't loose all the player stats. This is my server http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/207.210.252.154:7777/ This is the new server IP IP: 207.210.253.101
Port: 7777 can this be adjusted by you guys so my server on Game Tracker will not have to start over? I know once before I had to move my server because the hard drive on it crashed and a new IP was assigned to that server and game tracker made the adjustments and I did not loose my player stats. NEED HELP PLEASE. |

There is no feature to change the IP of a server page (or transfer stats to a different page) and I can not recall any time where GameTracker offered to do so. It may be possible that there could be a feature to help users in this situation, but I am unaware of a time frame for this.

It really hurts me that our great country can put a man on the moon or even make million dollar laser guided missles to blow stuff up but a simple program to fix the IP issue is to much to ask. So basically we all know that a server could malfunction at any time so we are supposed to just screw that people use Game Tracker to follow there gaming buddies and stats? That is just crappy. I had over 3000 people that had visited my server and know all of that is gone. But hey it is kinda like going to a charity hospital, you don't pay so you get the witch doctor that is on call and deal with it. Sad sad sad.

I understand that your stats are very important to you. Unfortunately not everything is incredibly simple and GameTracker unfortunately does not have the manpower and budget to accomplish everything that is requested. Thanks for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.
I have also had to switch to a new IP address and started a new server page in the past. I decided to save an HTML copy of the main portion of my player stats (first 5000 players, the remaining 100,000 had negligible stats). It took me less than 10 minutes to get that saved and remove unnecessary formatting. I spent a little bit more time on it because I wanted to have the stats nicely formatted in my site.Check it out So again, sorry that you are losing the stats. However, I'd recommend using 5-10 minutes of your time to save the stats. You'd only need to save up to 2 or 3 pages of players (at 50 items per page), as the rest don't appear to have much of any stats. Using "Save as" when you right click the page in Google Chrome makes this incredibly simple. It would be easy to format it into a single document too. ![]() |

Thanks Burn, that is a good suggestion and I will implement it soon. Thanks for taking out the time for little ole me, it means a lot. So does this list have to be updated periodically? A detailed break down would be cool too of the steps to this.

1. Right click, save as for first few pages of player history (50 items per page.
2. Delete extra HTML code, eg. everything but gametracker css and the player table 3. Remove all links around player names (Notepad++ search and replace could easily do this) 4. make sure everything links properly (may also have to remove extra paging items) 5. Save and upload to your site You can of course add it more steps if you want to tailor it to your site or something Since your past stats would not change, you should not have to update it periodically. ![]() |
