========== UTStatsDB Versions and Requirements ================================
===============================================================================
UTStatsDB is a log parser and web page for logs created with games using the 
Unreal engine.  UTStatsDB does not itself generate the log files from the games, 
it simply is told where to find them.  UTStatsDB is designed for operators of 
dedicated game servers, and requires a database and web server.  A basic 
understanding of configuring and managing a web server is assumed.

UTStatsDB is compatible with most web servers that support PHP, and is 
compatible with the following database formats: MySQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL.

UTStatsDB is designed to work with PHP 4.2 and MySQL 3.2 or newer.  The 
recommended configuration is with PHP 5.x and MySQL 5.x.  Apache, PHP, and MySQL 
can all be obtained for free.  UTStatsDB can also function with SQLite built 
into PHP 5.x and newer.

The current version of UTStatsDB can be downloaded from the following URL:
http://www.utstatsdb.com/files/

Only the latest release version is recommended.  There are three packages for 
each version in the downloads:

utstatsdb-x.xx.tar.bz2
  Standard package in bzip2 format, primarily for *nix based systems.

utstatsdb-x.xx.rar
  Standard package in Rar format, primarily for Windows based systems.

utstatsdb-x.xx-standalone.rar
  A (nearly) ready-to-run version for Windows packaged with PHP and Apache web 
  server included and configured to use PHP's internal SQLite.

You can check the version of an existing installation by displaying the file 
"VERSION.txt".  Visit the UTStatsDB homepage at http://www.utstatsdb for more 
information on bug reporting, feature requests and general support.

===============================================================================
========== Unreal Tournament Log Files ========================================
===============================================================================
Log files are generated differently depending on your game version.  Only the 
Unreal Tournament series is supported here, though UTStatsDB is known to work 
with certain other games running the Unreal engine.

Unreal Tournament (also known as UT '99):
  Logging is built-in.

Unreal Tournament 2003:
  A third party logging mutator is required, such as LocalStats by El Muerte.
  LocalStats can also be combined with RLog to receive log data directly through 
  a TCP port connection.

Unreal Tournament 2004:
  Local logging capability is built-in, however, OLStats by OverloadUT is 
  recommended (available in the UTStatsDB downloads).

Unreal Tournament 3:
  A third party logging mutator is required, of which UT3Stats is the only one I 
  know of currently (available in the UTStatsDB downloads.

Configuration details can be found in docs/LOGGING.txt.
