aestats...

it's the parser's (aestats) job to read meta log files, to interpret the information, to sum up player data, calculate a ranking and to generate output pages in html.

many functions of aestats are controlled by the configuration file aestats.cfg. see the configs pages for details on this.

the html templates (stats/headers/)

since æstats is a 4th generation parser, it became clear that templates are needed to provide all the 'other' info that stats pages should show, like placement of all the tables, descriptions on what the stats mean and the like.

the template pages use so called keyword lines that tell æstats where to place its tables and other info. for each stats page there is one and only one template page.

you can find the template pages in the stats/headers/ directory that comes with the æstats package. for folks with some html experience, it should be very easy to change the pages to suit your own needs.

the keyword lines begin with <!--AEstats followed by a the keyword. in the following example the keyword is players:

<!--AEstats players; 150-->

here is a list of keywords that æstats understands sofar (v4.68):

"BackGROUND"                // not used
"MaxPlayers"                // maximum players that will have
				stats, default 90
"Players"                   // number of players with unique
				names seen in that log file
"MadeItPlayers"             // how many players actually will
				have stats <=maxplayers
