# ezQuake Manual: Tracker Stats

Since version 1727 we allow you to use new way to display frag messages. Since version 1517 you were able to view brief info about 'hot' fragging action going on in game, for example 'Foobar is on killing spree, 10 frags in a row!'

Now you can also move frag messages out of usual notification area (and console) and view them in a more friendly readable way in a different place.

To enable it you have to have fragfile.dat in your <quake>/qw/ dir and have following variables set:

    cl_parsefrags 1
    cl_loadfragfiles 1
    r_tracker_frags 2

First two variables are ON (1) by default, the last one is up to you to decide. r_tracker_frags values description follows.

0 - Off
  Disable both streaks and custom frag messages
1 - Default
  Enable brief frag info (who is on killing spree).
2 - Custom frags
  Enable both brief frag info and custom frag messages.

You can turn off standard frag messages in console with:
`con_fragmessages 0`

Other customization can be done with these variables.
