Where is the "statistics.csv" file located?

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well! I remember there used to be a BF1942 website (I think it was called bfstats) that had player statistics, including map counts, kills, etc. This led me to investigate how BF1942 gets its statistics. I've been researching for a couple of days now, trying to figure out how BF1942 gets them. From what I've read, they're stored in a file called "statistics.csv" that's supposedly on the server, but I haven't found much information, so I'm not sure.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me where this file is generated? If not, could you tell me where those websites that display statistics for matches played on dedicated servers, like "helloclan.eu/bf1942/stats/", get their data?

Thank you so much for reading this far and for your help.

https://bfstats.io/system-stats is my site. Has details in that link where I get mine from, but there are many APIs providing the same thing.

The CSV you mentioned is interesting, sounds like something a server admin might produce from their logs.

Oh, I did find your page during my searches, but I wasn't sure how to ask you. I have a better idea now, though, and I'd appreciate it if you could confirm the following:

- The data your page/server collects is obtained from other pages, right? If not,

- How do you get the game data directly? Where is this information stored?

I use https://bflist.io/ which is an API providing data it scrapes from the game servers.

It uses https://github.com/gamedig/node-gamedig under the covers.

There is also http://bf1942.org/json?full which I believe is the master server for the game servers to talk to. But the owner of it Henk is on here so they would be best to confirm that.
