# xdfcgi
A common gateway inferface (CGI) program written in C to display data related to Race CTS leaderboards of Xonotic servers. It may also serve as a static page generator.
## Requirements
sqlite-devel python3 python-sqlite
The first is only needed for compilation of the C program. The latter two are only for the auxiliary script `allmaps.py`.
## Compiling
`make` makes a CGI program.
`make staticgen` makes a static page generator.
## Usage: CGI Query Strings
The program queries the database `db/cts.db` (`./src/dbquery.c`, function `static bool executequery`)
* `(none)`
- Query file: `queries/mranks.sql`
- Requests the map list of the server and related data.
* `?map=[map name]`
- Query file: `queries/mleaderboard-ojoin.sql`
- Requests the leaderboard of the map.
* `?player=[clientid]`
- Query file: `queries/rplayers.sql`
- Requests a player's ranks for all maps leaderboards s/he is present on.
## Usage: Static Page Generation
The CGI program is still invoked in static generation. The files `allmaps.py`, `output/leaderboard.css`, `template.html`, `template_map.html` help produce the output.
Before executing `allmaps.py`, copy and modify the templates.
cp ./template-generic.html ./template.html
cp ./template_map-generic.html ./template_map.html
`allmaps.py` outputs an html file for all distinct maps in the database. The leaderboards for each map (equivalent to `?map=[map name]`) are in `output/maps/`.
python allmaps.py
## Game Versions Used Under:
* Xonotic 0.8.1
* Xonotic 0.8.2
## Compilers
* gcc (GCC) 10.2.1
* MinGW, GCC 4.7.1
__________________
This program uses an sqlite3 database file created from `~/.xonotic/data/data/server.db`.
The database may be built using [xonotic-py-sqlite3-defrag2db](https://git.teknik.io/antares/xonotic-py-sqlite3-defrag2db).
