Quote:Since Version 13.0 GHost++ supports saving arbitrary statistics to the database from maps which support the W3MMD standard.
The data that is saved depends on how the map is written.
This will not work with every map, only with maps that specifically support the W3MMD standard.
GHost++ will now save map statistics to the database under the specified category.
There is no way to display these stats from within GHost++.
The intention is that you will display the stats externally, e.g. on a website, or you will use the update_w3mmd_elo project to generate scores for use with matchmaking.

Note: At the time of this writing GHost++ does not support the entire W3MMD standard, only flags and variables. It does not display or save any events.
Note: At the time of this writing you should NOT use this feature with MySQL databases as it will create a very large number of connections to the MySQL server when the game ends.
Here's how to use it:

1.) Obtain a map that supports the W3MMD standard.
a.) Note: At the time of this writing no maps support this standard although the author of "Civ Wars" has announced it will be supported in the next version.
2.) Choose a category for the map. The category is used to allow multiple versions of the same map to share the same statistics.
a.) For example, you might use the category "civwars" for Civ Wars 2.19 and also for Civ Wars 2.20 and future versions.
b.) You can change the category at any time although only future statistics will be affected, it's just an arbitrary name used to identify where the statistics came from.
3.) Open the map config file.
a.) Add "map_type = w3mmd".
b.) Add "map_statsw3mmdcategory = <your category>".
