Installation
============
make a directory for statsgen2 and unzip contents
Contents should include
statsgen2.exe
help.zip
libmySQL.dll - This is a library used to connect to MySQL databases
statsgen2.ini
readme.txt
upgrade.ini - If prompted to upgrade - this is the file it is after
statsgen2.exe can now be run - various files / directories will be created including the default templates.
Perform the Run / First Time Configuration - DO NOT CANCEL THIS OR INSTALLATION WILL NOT COMPLETE
After a stats run is complete you can click on the buttons (tick, cross) to see what errors have been generated with each stage. A tick indicates all ok. Anything else is error / warning. You may get some initial X symbols in the General progress bar indicating alias / droplist files not available - this is not a problem and will go away once you have edited any of these items.
Image Packs (new statsgen 2 awards are there) see www.statsgen.co.uk
To remove the statsgen banner at the top of each stats paeg and the link to the statsgen homepage
Edit the Template Config (homepage stuff) (Mandatory Configuration). You can set it to your home page details or set them blank to remove altogether.

Version History
===============
1.8.8 12th March 2009
---------------------
Added ability to read COD5 1.3 Activities (bomb plants)
Added ability to read COD5 1.3 Team Wins and Team Losses
Corrected a slight mistake in the default template in regards to activity display on rounds
Made it so database field widths can be fixed width - this is governed by contents of
statsgen2.ini file - you will see it if you look because i have not written gui edit
screen for this yet. If you completely delete the database (statsgen2.db) i.e. completely delete the file the next time statsgen re-creates it it will be using fixed
width fields.
Advantages - smaller database - faster processing (30% or 40% faster)
Disadvantages - some data may not fit into the fixed width fields (but i think i have made em all big enough)
1.8.7 5th March 2009
---------------------
Updated to cope with new format of COD5 time stamps
To come ... adding ability to capture COD5 activities (bomb plants etc)
1.8.6 2nd February 2009
---------------------
Upgraded config file with some more cod5 weapons and maps
FTP Downloads can now restart where they left off (default is to do this - can be switched off in the advanced server editor window)
FTP Downloads now take account of Max Log File Usage and only download the required amount
A silly green progress bar on various Processing Steps Lines - I know it looks a bit cack and i will tidy it up but i only coded it 3 hours ago because i wanted to watch a film and see from a distance how far statsgen was progressing
Too Many COD5 Team Kills - If you run a cracked server then GUID's for cod5 will often be the same as each other - this causes the team name guessing to go astray and assign everybody the same team (and therefore lots of teamkills) - there is an option on the server editor (advanced) screen to be able to switch this behaviour off - you will not be able to identify teams but no more teamkills will be generated. The default behaviour is to have the team guessing switched ON
Upload Template Facility - Updated to allow for the usage of a configuration file as well - this means i can host Omega's rather stunning COD5 template
1.8.5 22nd November 2008
---------------------
Upgraded config file with some more cod5 weapons and maps
1.8.4 12th November 2008
---------------------
Upgraded config file with some more cod5 weapons and maps
Added ability to get new templates from statsgen website
1.8.3 2nd November 2008
---------------------
Upgraded default template again to do awards properly so that it does not include dropped players (oops)
Added a skill and score weighting possibility dependent on the gametype
Added a new award for ww2 assault guns (not sure how i forgot that one)
Added a few more cod5 weapons as well as all the cod5 gametypes and maps i have been able to decode from the beta fastfiles (10 maps in total for mp i think)
1.8.2 30th October 2008
---------------------
Added COD5 World At War capability
1.8.1 28th October 2008
---------------------
Fixed a screw up
1.8 28th October 2008
---------------------
Updated template processing routing, error checking is better and it is a little faster
Updated bug regarding teamkills
Updated so COD4 has a good stab at working out teamkills
Updated GUIS to allow for Configuration Wizards or standard guis for several sections
Updated Initial installation to use First Time Configuration Wizard - should make life easier on installation
Updated default template to be like the Omega template slightly modified to be more statsgen friendly
Provided a Image Pack configuration gui - this gives you a suggested choice of imagepacks on the statsgen site and uploads them automatically to your website
Probably a few more issues that i can't remember
1.7.8 Beta 27th Jan 2008
---------------------------
Fixed the last of the alias issues
NOTE: Please delete the aliaslist.dat file as it is likely that aliases have been corrupted
Fixed issue with server messaging where it would stop after a statsgen run
1.7.7 Beta
---------------------------
Fixed lots of issues with aliases
Player Data (avatar, real name, mugshot) - this should now work properly
1.7.6 Beta Release 21st January 2008
---------------------------
Player Data (avatar, real name, mugshot) - this should now work properly
Cheaters list should keep updating rather than keep deleting the old values (oops)
Award Names can contain ' symbols now.
Some other stuff i can't remember
1.7.5 Beta Release 6th January 2008
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
COD4 PAM MOD support - PAM MOD was most annoying in that is logged things in completely the wrong format, logged some things twice, logs players with only partial guid's - the list goes on - but anyway, I've adapted statsgen to cope with PAM mod now (hopefully)
Upgrading re-worked - I can now supply database upgrade configuration files - if ever i need to supply a "database contents" patch.
1.7 Full Release 3rd December 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
BIG change - backup your old statsgen2.exe and templates folder in case of problems
Persistant Database
Statsgen now uses a persistant database. What this means is that it will continue from where it left off
each time it runs - This massively speeds up Logfile Processing, Database Writing, Score Calculation and Template Processing.
If you are upgrading it will remove your old db and switch it to a file based version if necessary
Memory usage is drastically reduced
On a first run through you will not notice any speed ups as it has to run through the template processing
at least once fully - from then on it will be a lot faster - only updating players that have changed.
Alias Editing - once a player has been combined together you cannot unjoin them in the existing db (only
for new rounds will the separation start)
Existing rounds - if you change the minimum players / round to register then existing rounds in the db will
not be changed (this may come later if i work out how to do it efficiently)
Quick Template ability removed (redundant with persistant db)
1.6 Full Release 11th November 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Addition of COD4 Processing
Coming soon(ish)
statsgen acting as a web server - allow you to configure it using web pages
statsgen console only - no need for gui - can configure using web server capability
statsgen linux - soon as I get the above stuff working
1.5 Full Release 10th September 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Addition of Quake Wars Processing (see later for how to configure for Quake Wars)
Better handling of Archive / Active files
Updated default template to cope with Quake Wars
Handled "xxxx already exists" database errors (i.e. I've ignored em - they don't matter - just scare people)
Dropped Indexes prior to database writing (should speed things up on larger databases)
Re-created indexes after database writing
Added extra xp tables (used with Quake Wars)
Added ability to have XP as part of an award
Added ability to have Team Kills as part of Awards
GUI's hide / disable options that are not appropriate (e.g. remote directories hidden if ftp is disabled)
Quake Wars
----------
Firstly - Quakewars logfiles are a complete t**t. The kill files contain hardly any info, they don't log activities
such as bomb plants, kill locations (head shots), bridge building etc. Player names are logged without the colour
codes. If a player has their clan tag set then the kill logs don't include the tag.
But .... worst of all ... the logs are split into multiple files - kills are logged in an optional kill file,
but map, game type details and xp points are logged in an objective file.
You need to configure your quakewars server to store the kill file with the following config entries
logfile "1"
logtimestamps "1"
logfilename "kills.log"
The actual kill file (on windows - i have no idea for linux servers) will be stored in your
"My Documents\Id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars Beta\base\kills.log" file on your server
This file needs to be selected for your Remote Active Logfile on your server editor screen
The objective file is stored in your
"Quake Wars Server installation folder\base\objective.log"
This file needs to be selected for your Secondary Active Logfile on your server editor screen
You must configure both logfiles within statsgen for Quake Wars kills to be processed properly in Statsgen
1.4.4 Unreleased Full Release 7th July 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Fix in default template
1.4.3 Unreleased Full Release 7th July 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Fix in default template
recognises no team loglines for cod 2
1.4.2 Unreleased Full Release 29th June 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Speed ups - Lots of optimizations - upto 70% faster logfile processing
Auto Aliasing - now ignores WOLFENSTEIN and MOHAA automatically
cheaters database table - all players found in the logfile who are marked as cheaters are added to the cheaters table (new table)
Default Template - updated to show list of found cheaters
1.4.1 Unreleased
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Crash when round was empty in an unusual way
1.4.0 Full Release 9th June 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Sometimes ban files would not download properly. I don't know why they were failing but i have put some code in to work around it.
Some more tidying up of the "Time To Go" text
Added ability to Automatically Alias players during logfile processing. Basically it uses the GUID to work out which players are really the same person, adding them to the alias list - any existing aliases are kept as is.
You can now add the command line argument -runonce
e.g.
statsgen2.exe -runonce
This will cause statsgen to start, perform a stats run, then exit.
This is designed to be used by people who want to run statsgen on the Windows Scheduler system.
1.3.3 Full Release 9th April 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Message Center - Punkbuster Messaging now works, I made a several mistakes in this area  .
Editor Screens - Image/Score/Skill editor screens now show the original code key as part of their display
Thread Safe - The program is now (I hope) thread safe
Screen Updates - The screen udpates properly now during processing
Screen Updates - Fixed some issues where negative "Time To Go" info could be displayed
Screen Updates - Fixed some issues when multiple logfiles caused "Time To Go" to be miscalculated
Speed Ups - Massively sped up processing if large drop lists were used (e.g. if you used punkbuster bans)
Speed Ups - Added a few more indexes to speed up the BF2 template
Logfile Processing - Extreme MOD activities (ctfb_capture) now decoded
1.3.2 Full Release 15th March 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
oops - I made a mistake and managed to disable website transfer in the last release, and, to cap it off,
I managed to include a bad default database config - I'm an idiot.
1.3.1 Full Release 10th March 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
File menu renamed to Run
You now have the ability to change the Run Priority of the quick and full templates. This should help
anybody who is running the program on a dedi box and is experiencing lag on the server as statsgen
steals the cpu. The lower priority setting the less statsgen will steal cpu.
1.3 Full Release 3rd March 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Fixed some issues with the MySQL uploading
Added speech time to the speech log
Added some more database indexes to speed up some of the templates
1.2 Full Release 13th February 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Changed the default config to be the No Rounds version - This is a much leaner template which takes less processing time
Awards can now be "weighted" in conjunction with the template
Skill can now optionally have the negative component caused by deaths switched off
Default template now has score, skill and award details information page
MySQL support. Statsgen can now optionally upload it's internal database to a remote (webserver) MySQL database
I will be developing dynamic versions of the current templates which make use of this feature
When in place this MASSIVELY speeds up processing as transfer loads and template processing will
be significantly reduced.
Some extra awards added to use some Admiral Mod features and the associated images also added to the image pack
Thanks again to Omega for doing these - awesome job mate.
1.1.2 Full Release 4th February 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Fixed an issue where award components could not be deleted in the config file
1.1.1 Full Release 3rd February 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Made a slight mistake in the automatic installation detection. Upgraders from 1.1.0 only need replace the executable.
1.1.0 Full Release 28th January 2007
---------------------------
Changes / Fixes
Extended character sets (Cyrillics etc) now read properly from the logfile
Skill Calculation - Can now be configured to not allow negative skill (no loss from death)
Added Free For All as MOHAA Deathmatch Mode to INI File
Upgrade File & Procedure now supplied
Database Structure Updated
Rounds / View Rounds (updated with server index round created in)
Award Definition (Award ID added)
This affects the Message Centre Key used during stats production (no longer changes when name changes)
Default Templates - Various Updates / Fixes
File Downloading Multiple Files - Better handling of weird servers that don't give me a wild card directory listing
Admiral Mod - Healing activity now detected
COD1/COD2 Banfile - These are now read and used
Speech File Output - You can now configure statsgen to write out all the speech in the logs in the Mandatory/Output Config
Error Boxes - The Save Button is now hooked up so you can save descriptions of errors - this is useful to me if you get problems - you can send me the error details instead of posting images on the forum
1.0.2 Full Release 18th January 2007
---------------------------
Fixes
Some FTP Servers dont seem to like getting a directory listing with a wildcard and this prevented
download of log files. I have made it so that if it encounters this problem it tries to blunder
past it anyway - you will see a caution symbol on the download logs entry to warn you this is
happening.
1.0.1 Full Release 6th January 2007
