External statistics driver

   (14 reviews)

About This File

Vanilla Doom has a mysterious command line parameter named "-statcopy". The statcopy parameter allows an external statistics program to capture the intermission screen statistics. However, as far as I know, no such program was ever written. This is, to my knowledge, the first external statistics program ever made for Doom!

On exit, the program displays the captured statistics to the screen, or alternatively saves the data to a file. There is one caveat in that for statistics capture to work, you must have the mouse enabled in Doom (set use_mouse to 1 in default.cfg, or use setup.exe).

Full source code (requires Borland Turbo C) is included.

Great find (in the source) and neat execution idea. There's one rather big problem, though. It works only using DOSBox, which in itself is no sin, but that's not documented in the package. In fact, it can crash true DOS environments in a pretty ugly manner, which can be particularly harmful in Windows 9x. Hopefully there'll be a fix, or at least a helpful warning about the issue in the text file. ~Chain Mail [2/5] (11/2007)

An updated (and hopefully more stable) version of this now exists in the idgames archive in ctrlapi.zip.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Now won't someone go back and code Doom V1.1's -left and -right so that we can have multi-monitor support?

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
