Q3_LogGen - Quake 3 LogGenerator HTML
*************************************
04 jan 2000


If you reading this under Windows,
turn Line-wrap (or whatever it is) on !


*Introduction:*
Hello folks !
This is my try to add some statistics to Quake 3 (Demo), UT came with NgStat, and I really love this tool.
Without this feature its just half the fun :)


*First:*
Unfortunately my modem is much to slow to play this game online, so I've problems getting a "real-life" games.log.
So if you have any "games.log" from a server or a LAN-Party, send it please to me.
I bet, "Q3_LogGen" will have problems with re-/dis-/connecting/team-changes within a game.


*Disclaimer:*
Use this program at your own risk.
Its free, but make no money with it.


*How it works:*
Every time you play a game against your friends (and you are the server) or against bots (except SinglePlayer-mode) Quake 3 writes all events to a file called "games.log".
This file can be found in your demoq3 or baseq3 - directory (depending on the version you have).
Q3_LogGen takes this file and creates some more readable HTML-files from the log of the games you played. These files will be located in the "Html_log"-directory, starting with a "index.html"-file.


*Running the program*
If you are using it for the first time, simply try this (Win9x):
./q3_loggen.exe <QuakePath>\baseq3\games.log
After the program finished, go to the Html_log directory and take a
look at the index.html.

There is nothing you can do wrong, the program does not removes or
modifies the "games.log". May be later I will change this, because
the parsing-process is not very fast, but for now, everything stays
where it should.

If you want to set a new output-directory (default Html_log), make use
of the "-o <path>" - option.
If you want to try some other templates, try the "-t <path>" - option.


*Saving disk-space*
q3_loggen *never* erases a once generated HTML-file. If a file with
the same name is written to the disc, an older file may be truncated,
but if you use a complete different log a lot of older files will stay
unused in the output-dir.
If you want to clean up the mess in the Html_log - directory you can
delete there all files, except the pix-dir.
But before taking a look at the results again, you have to run
q3_loggen again.


*Final words*
If you find some bugs, please mail a short desc/report together with the zipped "games.log" to me.
If you wrote some new templates, please send them to me, I would like
to put them on my WWW-page - http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~hanspete/Quake3
