Q3LOG v0.96a README

Visit http://www.capdm.com/q3log for updates.

Q3Log supports multiple log files. Just hold down CTRL and select as many log files from ONE directory as you wish. You can open server and client side log files at the same time.

To record a client side log file in Q3A type 'logfile 1' at the console. This generates the client side log qconsole.log in your baseq3 directory. 

Client side log files proved awkward because there is no timing information in them, so all stats to do with time are dropped in ALL log files if you load at least one client log file. This is also reflected in the HTML output and the graphing screens.

Client side log files do not require to have a beginning and end string, instead all total stats are counted from the start of the file. However the game by game HTML output can only sensibly record complete games so does not include those games not wrapped by a beginning and ending string. The begin game string searched for by Q3Log is "CL_InitCGame:" and the end string is "RE_Shutdown(", so if you have started a client log file already and games are not started and finished, simply wrap these strings at the start and end of the game to have those games included in the HTML stats. If you start the logfile before connecting to the server on which you will be client-logging, and close the logfile after you quit the server, the client log produced should work perfectly.
