********************
1) Introduction
********************
CZStats is a program I have started creating to use log files to generate stats and rankings for players of Condition Zero and Counterstrike. I started writing this program because I wanted to be able to have stats for my bots, I tried psychostats and could not get it to work no matter what I did! So I decided to do write this simple program for people like me who just want some simple stats for their bot battles, or if you run a listen server for you and your friends to play on.
If you wish to use it for a dedicated server then it will mean downloading your log files onto your computer and putting them into a directory with CZStats, and then running the program from there.

********************
2) Installation
********************
Unzip the files into the directory where your logs are generated. If you are using Condition Zero on Steam then this is probably something horrendous like c:\valve\steam\SteamApps\<yourusername>\condition zero\czero\logs
If you don't use Steam and have it where it was originally installed then it's probably something slightly less horrendous such as c:\valve\condition zero\czero\logs
The log directory for counterstrike should be something similar.
If the logs folder doesn't exist then create it.
If the logs folder doesn't exist then it probably means you don't have logs switched on. To do this :
1) Open the file listenserver.cfg in your c:\blah blah....\czero folder in notepad
2) Add "log on" without the quotation marks at the end of the file
3) Save and close the file.
Nice and simple :)

If you wish to use CZStats for a dedicated server then you can unzip CZStats to any directory you wish, then download your server game logs and place them into the same directory, then run CZStats.

********************
3) Using CZStats
********************
If you don't currently have any CZ or CS log files then I suggest you play a few games against your bots to generate some or CZStats will be of no use to you :p
Once you have some log files simply go into your logs folder and click on CZStats1.exe. Then follow any instructions it gives you, ignore the gibberish on the screen, it's mainly for my purposes.
Once the program has run there should be 2 new files in your logs folder.
The file czserr.log is used to log any errors, there shouldn't be any errors for a listen server game against bots, but some may pop up in other circumstances.

The rankings are put into a html file called "stats.htm" which looks a lot better than the snide text version in 0.1.

CZStats will analyse logs from between 1 and 28 days as set in the czstats.cfg file.
********************
4) Customising CZStats
********************
Customisation of CZStats is now handled within the program itself, there is no need to manually edit the file.

This program uses Microsoft .net Framework runtimes, if CZStats doesn't run then it means your computer does not have this.
You can get the MS .net Framework runtimes at
