Hello, im a co organiser/mod of a Overwatch League where we run custom games between players, and have been for a number of our seasons, and recently i wanted to add more info for the players, compiling stats and metrics for each week, such as highest dmg player for that week, most potgs at the end of the season etc, but there is no way to view the scoreboard post game. Ive seen in recent posts similar to this people were saying to go into history-game reports-teams, but this just pulls up a scoreboard where every stat number is 0, so id assume blizzard have changed how this works since those posts.
Does anyone know of a way to view scoreboard numbers for custom games? My only way to implement this so far would be to try and hit tab and screenshot just before the end of each match which isnt feasible, especially since there are multiple lobbies going at once
So you have someone who is familiar with Workshop scripting? Because you Need a Bit of coding to achieve this. I also can hint to a project called ScrimTime, it has already setup stat tracking and logging. But we have no database capabilities to create an automatic pipeline for data analysis and scrapping you Need to do that manually or with external tools. Another Option is to contact FaceIt Team. If you have any questions feel obliged to ask. I can help with the Workshop and manual Part.
I did see scrimtime come up actually as an option, someone had queried how owl teams scrimmed if you can’t see scoreboards post custom games and someone had linked this saying they either didn’t look at them or used a workshop code to get the data.
We currently play on a workshop code ourselves already, so players have to ready up before the game begins and also a hero ban system so the losing team gets to select 1 of each role during the setup phase who they want to ban.
I wasn’t the one who made the workshop code though so I’d have to see if they can either add it on to our code or perhaps adjust the scrimtime one.
Idk why blizz don’t just allow me to see the scoreboard on the game reports like normal games though
Yeah, idk either, maybe it’s a half through feature and not entirely a complete one. Or there are code security reasons for them, like for OW 1 & 2 exists no way to openly aquire game data metrics via APIs, only under contracted regulated cases like Overbuff had or FaceIt seemingly did. There might be money involved to gain access. But i haven’t fully dived into that i just know there is a way with workshop and transfer the managment schedules for the data to external tools like web applications and community hubs like these scrim groups etc. etc.
It is possible, but it’s not easy. There’s an Action called “Log to Inspector” and you can save any Value into the Inspector. Then in regular Overwatch settings you should enable saving Inspector’s Log to file on your C:\ drive when the match ends.
Basically you would have to create your own scoreboard that tracks deaths, kills, damage done, healing done etc. Then save it into the Inspector and then have it saved automatically on your PC as a .txt file.
EDIT:
Actually it is much easier then in the past. There’s a Value “Player Hero Stat” and there are more stats than on the scoreboard. But be aware that Workshop is kinda abandoned by Blizzard, so there’s no guarantee that those Value will be tracked by the game.
