Anyone here know how to write a stat program?

I play PC Madden 2003 as much as I play Nascar 2002. However, even though Madden has alot of stats I would like more. I would like to compile stats from game (madden 2002-2003-2004...you know what I mean)to game so that I have a "lifelike" career compiling system. EA just released a patch that contains franchise logs but they did not include league leaders and such. Thanks in advance.

That's like asking "anyone know how to make a house" Your being way to vague. A stats program would be dependant on the game in question, each has different exports and so on. The basic process is simple - parse out the game stats and store/manipulate in some sort of external database from the game. Once the stats are extracted then you can do anything you like with them. The main thing is what stats are available and are the yin a format that can easily be parsed. If the stats are not gathered by the game or at least there in a sense that they can be calculated from others stats then there is nothing you can do.

Sure. First, write a script or program that parses the log files into an array, then take that array and manipulate the data in it somehow (dunno what you want), then have it output that data into a text file using comma delimination to separate data fields (that will create a nice CSV file you can load into, say, Star Office or Excel or 602Tab). You could probably put it together in bash, ksh, or perl in about 15 minutes depending on what you want to do and how organized the format of the input files are. The parser, imho, would be the hardest part to program. If you're handy with sed, awk, and the advanced bash/ksh/csh commands you use you could probably do this from the command line. Hope that helps!! If you figure out a way to make the simulated stats in the game semi-realistic lemme know. I've gotten the stats for played-out and coached games in line with the real NFL without much hassle, but unfortunately the games that are simmed are way way off. Teams regularly allow less than 100 total yards in a game and such, it's pretty bad. In real life holding a team to 200 is pretty damn good, in Madden 2003 franchises it's barely average. Jason

If your serious on such a program drop me an email with some more details on what your looking for and I will look into it a bit more for you. "vulcan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > [email hidden] (vulcan) wrote in messagenews:<[email hidden]>...
