www.L4DStats.co.uk

A collection of tools for consolidating and presenting statistics from Log files of a Left4Dead dedicated server

• php 5.1 or later
• MySQL 5.0 or later
• Left4Dead Server Logs (sv_log_onefile 1 gives best results)

• .NET Framework 2.0 (Windows)
• libcurl / libstdc++ etc (Linux)

• Import the SQL structure from l4dstats.sql into your MySQL server
• Change the variables in settings.php to allow access to the DB
• Change the variables in settings.php to customise the look and feel
• If processing logs with process_logs.php put the Left4Dead logs in logs/ or specify your logs directory in settings.php
• Ensure apache has read / write access to templates_c
• Allow .htaccess Overrides if not possible set $mod_rewrite_urls to be false
• Execute process_logs.php via cron, from your browser or use the .NET tools
• Bask in the the joy of numbers

• Make a backup of settings.php
• Replace all files with the new version
• Update the new settings.php with your original details and change any of the new settings to your requirements.
• OPTIONAL To be ready for 0.4 you may want to make a backup of your DB (data only) and then import the new schema and reimport the stats or re-process your logs

You need mod_rewrite install and to allow overrides for this virtual directory or set $mod_rewrite_urls in settings.php to be false

<Directory /www/domains/l4dstats/demo/>
	Options FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride All
</Directory>

As this is designed to be run by a cron job it doesn't return any info by default set $Debug to be true in settings.php

This is the third beta release - I expect there to be some issues.

Please report them all including as much information as you can to my email address below.

• Parse and record environment deaths / kills
• Fix any the bugs
• Identify and record which player was which character
