Summary: QC-patch gives fragtable like in Doom2

Keywords: deathmatch fragtable teamplay stats

I want to invite you to DDM. It is a Quake-C-patch (progs.dat) that gives you

detailed information about DeathMatch games in table-form.

If you miss in Quake the summary for each level, as it is offered by games

like Doom 2, Descent 2 or Duke Nukem 3D, like I missed it, then give DDM a

try.

Since modifications through QC can't do everything, DDM does not replace the

table invoked with the console-command "+showscores". Instead, it prints its

own table on every player's console.

Note that DDM does not need any external helper programs to analyze the

console-debug log-file, the tables are created and displayed while staying in

Quake. Of course you can still preserve the tables via log-files, but the

tables need not to be prepared by piping the log through any filter, just cut

out the tables from the log.

For teamplayers you get an extra line to show how well your teams have done.

In the table you can see how well you did for your team (flattening teammates

;-)

DDM can't compare with the amount of information gained by external analyzers

(kills per time-unit with which weapon or such), it only gives a 'little'

more information than the original does.

You may find DDM at:

ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/quake/quakec/stats/fragtabl.zip,

or any other dir below quakec, where it may have moved.
