Thought other way round: Cound how many kt of yourself are sunk.
OK, other Idea: Ask Tim to write a little dll for you that pulls out the
Messages of a RST file. That you can pharse to get ships destroyed by
minefields and GD etc.
Then ask Tim a second time if he´s giving you another dll that rips the
before and after hull streng of ship involved in combact together with the
ID you have the ships sunk in a battle.
Together with the ship.csv you can calculate the kt destroyed by someone
(Ok, probs could still occour if 3 or more persons take part in a battle and
so on, but a first basic tonnage counter should work that way).
Perhaps Tim is so kind. I think this is (I´m not a programmer) only little
work as code should be in client anyway as clients shows this to me (in
cleartype). If he´s providing that piece of information to you e.g. in a
form of CSV-file you can programm your own tonnage cout prog (as host you
should have access to all RST files to get this working though, forbit
passwords for that games)
