HELLO:
Hello and welcome to TSTATS v1.63
Before we go any further please read the following.....
IMPORTANT:
TSTATS requires write access to your ALLFILES.DAT, ALLFILES.IX,
ALLUSERS.DAT, ALLUSERS.IX files. This is because it uses the
same method of accessing the database's as WildCat!
NEW IN v1.63:
■ Exclude file area's using ranges, i.e. 5-10
■ Fix for "colour bleeds" in displays
■ Fixed to make "normal" colour work in files section
DISCLAIMER:

You use TSTATS entirely at your own risk.
NOTICE:

reverse engineer this product.
If you want to know how it's done, mail me.

FREEWARE:
This product is copyrighted to the author, who reserves all rights

and us such you are not asked to pay for it.
DISTRIBUTION:
The latest versions of this and all other products by the author
will be available on The Development System BBS. They can be
FREQ'd from there (see below for fido address).
Under no circumstances may anyone make a charge for these programs
without the express permission of the author, unless it be a fair
charge for transmission or distribution.
PURPOSE:
Create a colour semi-3D display file to show who has been
using/abusing your board the most.
TSTATS now creates a file bulletin as well. This will allow you
to generate a coloured bulletin showing which files on your
board are most popular (i.e. downloaded most often.) The number
of files you include in the bulletin is configurable.
This allows you to create more statistics from one program,
also, because they will look alike, your bulletins will gain
some cohesion, rather than all looking different.
Obviously if you dont like the way they appear that doesn't do
you much good. If you like the idea, but want the bulletins in
a different style/format/colour, mail me and I will try to make
it work.
If you are a relatively new board, or reset your callers
stats regularly (i.e. every month) you may be able to use
the single page user report, however if your callers have
large values in any of their stats then you will have to use
the double page report. I may add a single page report which
drops one of the fields so everything isn't so cramped.
Rather than imposing colour scheme's as I did in previous
versions TSTATS now allows you to choose your own colours. For
each section which creates a bulletin there are four parameters
which are you can set.
Background=
Normal=
Hilite=
Lolite=
For each parameter set it to a colour number, from 1 to 15,
where the numbers correspond to :-
0 Black
1 Blue
2 Green
3 Cyan
4 Red
5 Magenta
6 Brown
7 White
8 Gray
9 Lt. Blue
10 Lt. Green
11 Lt. Cyan
12 Lt. Red
13 Lt. Magenta
14 Yellow
15 Bright White
You still don't have that much control, as I choose HOW the
colours are applied, but it is better than anything else I have
seen. If anyone has any bright idea's as to how this could be
improved I would be pleased to hear them.
TO RUN:
1. Edit TSTATS.INI as outlined below
2. Make sure 'WCHOME' points to your MAKEWILD.DAT
3. Run TSTATS.EXE in the directory containing TSTATS.INI
TSTATS.INI:
Anyone who has every edited a WIN.INI file will be familiar
with the TSTATS.INI file, please look at the enclosed file for
reference.
Three "sections" are required, and control how TSTATS operates
and where it puts things.
S [TSTATS]
This contains general options. At the moment it only includes
options to determine what bulletins TSTATS should generate.
■ ProcessTopFiles=
Set to Y if you want TSTATS to generate a top downloaded files
bulletin, set to N otherwise.
■ ProcessTopUsers=
Set to Y if you want TSTATS to generate a top user bulletin,
showing calls, downloads, etc. Set to N otherwise.
S [TOPFILES]
This section contains the configuration information pertaining
to the top downloaded files on your system.
■ IgnoreAreas=
A comma seperated list of any area's or ranges of area's you do
not want included in TSTATS report. This might include private
download area's, or a new-user download area for example.
e.g.
IgnoreAreas=1,2,5-8,15,25-50,150,450-500
■ OutFile=
The full pathname of the bulletin you want TSTATS to generate,
probably it should point into your bulletins directory.
e.g.
OutFile=C:\WC30\BULL\BULL5.BBS
■ Format=
The style/format that TSTATS should use for the file bulletin,
which at the moment can only be SIMPLE. This option is included
for future additions of style's.
e.g.
Format=HORIZONTAL
■ Maximum=
This is the number of files which TSTATS will include in the
bulletin, i.e. it will give you the top 'n' files. In this case
you would get the top 40 most downloaded files.
e.g.
Maximum=40
■ Background=
■ Normal=
■ HiLite=
■ LoLite=
Colour selections are outlined above.
S [TOPUSERS]
■ IgnoreProfiles=
A comma seperated list containing the names of any security
profiles defined in MAKEWILD which you do not want included in
your users list. No user with one of these profiles will appear
in the list.
e.g.
IgnoreProfiles=SYSOP,NETSYSOP
■ OutFile=
The full pathname of the bulletin you want TSTATS to generate,
probably it should point into your bulletins directory.
e.g.
OutFile=C:\WC30\BULL\BULL6.BBS
■ Format=
The style/format that TSTATS should use for the user bulletin.
At the moment you can specify SINGLE for single page output, or
DOUBLE for double page. SINGLE tends to look a bit "squashed"
but might work if your board is new and the numbers aren't too
high.
e.g.
Format=DOUBLE
■ Background=
■ Normal=
■ HiLite=
■ LoLite=
Colour selections are outlined above.
NOTES:
(1) TSTATS uses WC3 @CODES@ to produce coloured effects.

Is there another way of presenting this sort of data?
Is there other data you want to see?
