Disclaimer
----------
You know the score. The responsibility of whatever this program happens
to do to your system is yours, and yours alone. Neither I, nor Netrun
Studios will take ANY responsibility for any damage that might occur
by using this program.



What it is?
-----------
A small program I made in order to get stats on my deathmatch games,
it'll take the a standard q3 log and extract the stats as far as 
possible (the log output from q3 isn't exactly verbose...).
The parser will create a text document with all the stats found in
the log and then the delete the qconsole.log file.
Use it as you see fit.

Note: This is a BETA version, the output is very crude with a few known
problems. MANY more features will be added, so check the homepage for
the latest version.



Usage
-----
Turn on logging in Q3 by typing:
logfile 1
...in the console, then run q3dmstats.exe in the same directory as 
where your qconsole.log resides (usually /demoq3).
The parsed output will be available in qconsole.txt



Bugs!
-----
If you find a bug please send me the qconsole.log and the 
qconsole.txt and then explain the bug in the body of your
message. 



Known Problems
--------------
* Some names get cropped once in a while (fix in next version)
* Coloured names or names with the Q3 special alphabet's do not
  show up correctly (will be added in the next version)

I hope it's better to have it with bugs, than not having it at all. =)
Take heart though, fixes will come out very soon and I will
continue to support the program for as long as anyone is even
remotely interested in it.

Version History
---------------
0.10 - May 12th 1999 - Made the program over a few laborous hours
       only to discover that the log output of Q3:Arena Test was
       bugged... I sent a bugreport and once they fix the bug my
       generator should work fine.
0.20 - August 9th 1999 - Well, id Software has fixed the bug above
       so now q3dmstats actually is quite useful. There are some known 
       problems with name parsing that will be fixed this week.
       Most things are minor bugs that won't take much time to
       fix, so I hope I'll be able to include a few new things
       aswell.
0.21 - August 10th 1999 - Ok, so that you can have some more use of
       it until I get to the BIG update that is ahead. Added Gauntlet
       scoring & plasmagun suicide. Will fix the strange things that
       are happening with the names tomorrow.
0.23 - August 10th 1999 - Fixed some minor things... then I played some
       on Proving Grounds ... and something was wrong here. VERY wrong. 
       I had forgotten to add the Lightning Gun! =)
       When I first wrote this program there was no such thing, and now
       when there was I simply forgot about it.
       Sorry!



Things that will be added in the next version
(will be up before August 15th):
---------------------------------------------
* Correct name output on *all* names.
* Round score.
* Output will be easier to read.
* In-game chat will be added to the output aswell.


Things that will be added in future versions
--------------------------------------------
* HTML Output
* Interface (so that you can name and place the output 
  file wherever you want to)
* TeamDM support
