This is a little HOWTO on running stats for IDL.  The process is pretty simple:

  - Open up ZDStats.
  - Set the location of ZDaemon, the location of the output folder, and the
    location of your WADs.
  - Either load a demo or connect to a server.
  - Watch the game/demo, then close ZDaemon.
  - Click the [ Browse ] button next to 'Output Folder:'
  - Open the event log file using WordPad
    - The event log file will look something like 20120116_193642.json.
  - Ensure that the log only contains rounds you wish to be part of the game.
    Rounds before and after the actual game should be deleted.
    - Round change events have 'type'='map_change' in them.
    - Ensure that the last event in the log does not have a ',' at the end of
      it (unlike the other events, which *MUST* have a ',' at the end of
      them).
  - Edit the ZDaemon log file, and leave the file open for future reference.
    - This will be something like 20120116_193642.txt.
    - The event log you will upload will have a '.json' extension.
  - Go to the admin section at idl.org.
    - Go to 'profiles'.
    - Log in.
    - Click on the little blue 'admin' link.
  - Go to Aliases.
  - Refer to the ZDaemon log file you previously opened.
  - For every player's name in that log file, ensure there is a valid alias in
    the giant 'Select an alias' dropdown box.
    - This ***MUST*** be done before log uploading.
    - Once you've clicked on the box, typing will search the list (very handy!)
    - A 'valid' alias is one that has the exact name of the player as well as
      an entry for 'Stored Player'.  Don't bother with 'Was Namefake'.
    - Be sure to click on the [ Save Changes ] button when you're done.
  - Afterwards, go to Game Logs.
  - Select the game for which you wish to upload a log for.
  - Upload the corresponding .json file from the ZDStats output folder.
    - This will be something like 20120116_193642.json.
    - This will take a while.
  - If the team scores are wrong, that means that teams played on the wrong
    colors.  You'll have to go to Games and switch the teams around there.
