Damage Parser
 

Does anyone here have a link to an EQ 2 Parser? I've been searching on google for quite a long time and can't seem to find one, or if one has even been made yet.

So I would really appreciate it if someone could direct me to a site that has one or a site that I could watch that may have one in the future.

Thanks

Try this from a post on the official forums.

I made a little parser....

well i just started, only worked on it for a few hours but it should be adiquite for the time being, I will be adding more later.

give it a look, its very basic but it will get better.

parser
 

That looks great will you be posting it for downloading?

soon enough.... right now thou i have a feeling it will not work for a caster class, if a caster could log about 20 min of fighting and email it to me that would be great

mike AT thrashcorp.com

How do you turn on the logging I have a caster and tried another parser but can't find a log for it to parse

/log

it will then tell you in game where it will save to

doh figures it was that simply I was looking all over in the options for it

ok, i've posted a download link on the parser... right now it may only work for rouges but i'm not sure... once i get some caster logs to play with i'll make sure they work too

there is no instructions on the parser so just download it and run parser.php, you will need to edit it first with the location of your log file.

I will make it easyer to setup later, but right now i just want something that works.

Was just curious as to where ya posted the link. This looks like a really solid parser so far.

its just linked off the parsed page: http://test.gentoo-portage.com/~thrasher/eq2log/

OMG im an idiot lol I saw it and figured it was the .log file lol Thanks!

ok down loaded it but can't get it to read my log am I missing something



nevermind just didn't read

edit the parser file .. you need to change teh name of the log file in there

I have edited that line just can't get it to run

oh, updated it just now, now it shows what other did around you during the fight.

Only what they did between your first hit and 10 seconds after you stopped fighting.

Updated the tarballed version while i was at it... When i get a caster log i'll work on updating it again.

I'm assuming you know it needs to be run from a web browser as this is a web-based parser... and that you need php installed.

Never and I mean never underestimate my stupidity at times. no I did not know and before I screw something up really bad I'm going to stop here. It really dose look great though thanks for the help getting me this far.

check out php, you should already have IIS... from there is pretty simple.

I still cant seem to get it running. I'm running Apache on my server, with php installed of course.

I tried changing the file extension to .php to edit the file, changed the one log file name to the proper name. Still what I get is this.

you dont change the name of the file, hah. its a tarball you need to extract it with a compression program i suggest winrar.

http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Yeah I know, I have winrar, the file that is inside of the tarball is what I was talking about. Is that also a compressed file?

i guess so.. you should end up with a bunch of files actually

Ok, redownloaed the file. Here is the procedure that I followed.

I proceeded to the link http://test.gentoo-portage.com/~thrasher/eq2log/

and clicked the download here link which downloaded the file eq2log.tgz

I right click this file and go to extract here. The only file that comes from this is labelled eq2log. This is a file with no extension.

Am I doing something wrong or is there something that I am missing

i think your winrar is broken.. but whatever i recompressed it with zip

Thanks! I was able to download it successfully. However, I do have a few questions to ask because I cannot seem to load the page correctly with parsing my own chat log.

What happens when I load the page, is it brings up the page similar to your link, in it lists all of the encounters and such (when you click on them it says that the page cannot be found...very obvious why)

I guess what I'm curious of is, what lines of code would I need to change to make it work with my chatlog. Also, what if the chatlog was on a different drive, would we be able to access it from the other drive?

the parser.php page has to be run each time you want it to update... right now it just has my old page..

and just edit the path in the parser.php file to whatever you would like, relative or absolute path... c:\blah\blah\whatever

I finally got everything working. This is an excellent parser! By far the best so far. I've tested 3 parsers so far, but most of them are generic and list maybe 10 stats, dps, hits, misses, etc.

Its good to see one that parses as much as the fight as possible as yours, I really like being able to see how much dmg the mob has done as well as being able to compare it to the others in the group.

The only thing that would make it better and I dont even know if its possible would be a way to tell what weapon was being used and/or what type of damage. Certain mobs are more vulnerable to crush, slash, or pierce, so I think thats a pretty good way to find out where/when you should switch to your best weapon of that nature.

Anyway, great parser!!

php?
 

stupid question - what php do i need to install to be able ot use this :( sorry for newb question

I am unsure how close php is to any other language, but have you thought about making an executable for those who don't have the know-how to set up php?

For example, the python language could be used - it has php support, and there are programs that allow you to compile it into a standalone executable.

php?
 

can anyone help me to get this working, id like to test out some weapons to see which one is best for me -- I DL php 5.0.3 -- i get a bunch of files, and nothing that seems to install -- .

I have his parser downloaded and extracted i get a folder named Eq2log..

i have my Log from game ready to parse.. just not sure what to do next..

i open the parse.php with notepad -- but its all jibberish- and im guessing i have to open it with php installed to be able to point it to my log file from game?

any help is much appreciated.. i dont know Php at all :(

EQ Companion
 

I would like to recomend EQ Companion .

EQ Companion is a parser for EQI but the developer has released a EQII version.

It parse fights, loot, skills, factions, players and chat.

You can run the parser in the background and have it monitoring your log while playing just remember to type /log when you have logged into the game. You can even turn on speech thus have the parser tell you dps at the end of each fight for instance.

The fights are parsed for you, your group and mobs. It shows a list of the fights and when you clik on a fight you can see detailed info on that fight. The details are in two separet windows, the first window shows details on you, each member in the group and the mob/mobs and contains attack type, dmg, dmg%, dps, hit%, hps, maxh, minh and damage dealth to you. The second window shows all the fight messages like throwing buffs, debuffs, fizzels, hits, resists etc.
The fight list shows per fight your total dmg, your dps, the groups total dmg, the mobs total dmg and mobs max dmg.
The separate fights can be linked and calculated as one fight. Very handy for field researces.

I always have the parser running in the bacground and monitor how the group is doing. This gives me a good tool to adjust my fights and to give advices to my group mates. When grouping with peeps I don't know the first thing I do is telling them I am parsing our fights and ask them I they do mind I throw in some advices here and there. Well, most of them find my advices very usefull.

Items can be looket up in linket item databases like Allakhazam. The parser keeps list over time that keeps tracks on loot and harvested items.

The chat channelse are kept in seperate windows.

The /who keeps a list of people you have found and where and when they last were sighted.

The parser is also able to look for your /loc commands and show location, route and speed on the map on the fly, but so far I have not been able to get it to work in EQII.

If you experience that the parser is slowing your computer you can adjust what the parser should parse. For instance you may cose only to parse fight data.

The log file get big pretty fast. Rename your current log-file once in a while (I do it once a week). The game will create a new one next time you log in and you can always read the old logs into the parser. You can even have the parser to read several log files at once.

There are tons of details to dive into not mentioned here and if you find EQ Companion as usefull as I do you, have found yet another tool that is indispensabel and you are never going to turn it off again :)

It can do all that yea, but then you have to turn on filters for everyone's damage, and that's too much spam for me :D

I have self hits/misses, enemy hits, pet hits (if I have a pet), and self spells. Anything else is just clutter in my 2nd chat window. :p

Help Install this Damage parser?
 

I tried that other parser and its alright, but I dont like all the filters and crap I have to deal with. If someone would give some simple directions on installin this Damage parser it would be appreciated.

CSM is a great one can even display in the UI using mini monitor, now just need a Tablets2 version :) *whistles*

may be an older winrar. Current winrar versions unzip both files for you so you never see the double compression. A tgz file is the same thing as a tar.gz file, which essentially is a .gz compressed file inside of a .tar compressed file. If your version of Winrar isn't opening it correctly you can try changing the file extension to tar.gz and if it still doesn't work, try unzipping what you have, and rename the file you unzip to a .gz file. Maybe that will work...
