Bre Stats v1.1 Offline Utility
Bre Stats is a very user friendly mouse driven program. It is designed
to allow players in Baron Realms Elite Leagues to read the League's
score files offline. This allows the user to spend their online time
playing the game instead of scrolling through all the score files trying
to find Empires to attack or form treaties with. Bre Stats will also
handle all the calculations when adding up your attack and defense
strength. It will also keep track of how many commanders and carriers
you need for your Empire. You can even enter in information about other
Empires and get an instant report comparing your Empire to theirs.
Bre Stats will also keep a 14 day history of all Empires activities in
the League. This allows you to quickly find Empires that are on the
rise or thoses that are possibly in trouble. When you register Bre
Stats you will be able to view graphs on Empires activities and be able
backup your files.
When you run Bre Stats the first screen you will see is the main menu.
To make it as simple as possible to use, the same keyboard commands and
mouse commands that are used by Windows have been incorperated into
Bre Stats. So most people will be familiar on how to move around the
screens.
Everything is pretty straight forward and so simple to use you really
don't need to read anything in order to run the program. However, I
have included some hints on how to use Bre Stats to your advantage.
Hints on Using Bre Stats to Your Advantage!!
--------------------------------------------
Backup your score files ONCE per download ONLY!! When you backup your
score files what happens is all the current score files which have the
ext. *.TXT are renamed to *.001. If you backup the same *.TXT files
again it will make a duplicate copy of *.TXT and name it *.002.
If you did this again you would then have the same score files showing
on Backup 1, 2, and 3.
To make sure you don't go wrong follow these steps below:
Download updated score files.
Unarchive the updated score files into the Bre Stats directory.
(If it ask you to overwrite the files select Yes)
Run Bre Stats and Backup Todays Scores.
***REMEMBER DO THIS ONLY ONCE A DAY.***
If you do get into a mess you can start fresh by deleting all
*.001-*.014 files.
If you do corrupt your backups for some reason you can save them by
renaming them to the appropriate day. Below is how the backup files
and days correspond to one another.
Current = *.TXT
Backup 001 = *.001
Backup 002 = *.002
Backup 003 = *.003
Backup 004 = *.004
Backup 005 = *.005
Backup 006 = *.006
Backup 007 = *.007
Backup 008 = *.008
Backup 009 = *.009
Backup 010 = *.010
Backup 011 = *.011
Backup 012 = *.012
Backup 013 = *.013
Backup 014 = *.014
You can Force a Backup. The reason you might want to do this is if you
got online and played a few turns in the morning and downloaded the
score files. Then later that afternoon or evening you got back online
and finished your turns and downloaded a new set of score files in the
same day. If you unarchived the new set of score files and Forced a
Backup then "Backup 001" would become the mornings score files and
"Current" would be the current ones.
If you play in several different Baron Realms Elite Leagues run Bre
Stats in seperate directorys for each League.
To use the Military Stats Screen obtain all the information you need
from the Spy Database while online.
If you run Windows or another Multi-tasking program you can run Bre
Stats in the background while online. Doing this makes it quick and
easy to tell where you and others stand.
Please read SETUP.DOC and SYSOP.DOC for instructions on how to set up
and download score files.
