Kill Trackers
From JAWiki
[edit] About
A Kill Tracker (KT), is a third-party program that keeps track of your kills in the game. However, few kill trackers merely track kills. Most provide additional functionality, such as minimizing the game, playing music, storing reminders, etc.
Most kill trackers have the option to display a 'kill message' when you kill someone or someone kills you
An example of a kill message would be "I have killed you 500 times, <name of player>!", where <name of player> is the name of the player who died. Kill trackers commonly support commands typed in chat, normally prefixed by an exclamation mark ('!'). For example, typing '!stats' would make the kill tracker show your stats.
One of the common annoyances with KTs is the added chat spam they create. Better KTs have the ability to disable or control this output, whether it prints messages to the chat, to private messages, or to the console (Often called private or echo modes). It is often recommended that you use this to avoid spamming other players, especially on busy servers. Unfortunately, most KTs also force you to advertise their program when you load the game (along with auto-greetings for friends), which can create considerable spam at the beginning of the map.
[edit] List of Kill Trackers
- Mau-Dae's Kill Tracker: One of the first killtrackers made for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy
- JamTracker: Another commonly used killtracker with a lot more features and a much better design than Mau-dae's.
- vJA Killtracker: A newer killtracker that is currently still under construction. One of its main features is the ability to upload your scores to a webserver.
- Ultra Utility: Boba Fett, the author of UU likes to remind people that UU is not a KT itself, it contains one. This is the most feature-rich of these programs and is under continual development.
