[Mr Clean]

I still need to send you my log DE...just getting some info built up in it...for the last three months....almost done... :shifty:

[Death Engineer]

Jeez man. How big is it?? :blink: The log I mean@!! ;)

[OZZYOGRE]

what do these parsers do, never tried one, kinda confused

[Death Engineer]

It takes information that is in text format from your chat.log file (which saves all the info that scrolls across the screen during the game) and displays it in a more user-friendly format. Try it out. You're likely to find some neat info and statistics.

DE,
The link appears to be gone for this program. Can you repost the program? Thanks a ton.

It looks like this thread got whacked up with the upgrade. I'm working on a new version of the parser now that I know what I'm doing. I'll start a new thread if I can get my hands on a good copy of the old version. :)

DE

[Hammertime]

Cool. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

[Death Engineer]

Here's the older version.

[Hammertime]

This is really cool. I had emailed my log to work so I could check it out. DE, thanks a ton!

Any comments or suggestions?

I'm in the middle of rewriting it now that I know what I'm doing with C#. The current posted version has some issues that I don't care for with not catching all the style and/or spells. The new version will also support Total Exp, Realm Points, Deaths ... and maybe some chat filters. :)

The new version will also get info about the additional coin/exp bonus from having 8 or more keeps.

[Hammertime]

How about a pop up to remind me to start logging? J/K. So far all I can think of to add is a chat log viewer. I'm still looking at it and I haven't used all the functionality yet, like the lotto and crafting features. I'd also like to try it on a couple different toons.
Its funny because it shows the mobs resisting about 25% of the time, but I'd swear its closer to 50%. LOL.

[Death Engineer]

Hehe. I have just gotten into a habit of hitting 'L' when I log on.

I'm not 100% confident in some of the numbers of the current released version. The spell/style miss and resists are just a few of them. The new version I'm working on should be much more stable.

After studying a recent log a bit more though, if you use backup styles while melee fighting, there may not be a way to tell which style failed or missed.

Would you want to be able to view the whole log? Would it help if I just opened it in wordpad or something like that?

[Hammertime]

Having a quick link to word pad would be helpful. I was thinking more along the lines of viewing the results you've parsed for verification purposes. For instance in the cashflow section it showed several items that went to <none>. Some of these were armor drops that I would be kicking myself if I left them lying in some field somewhere.

[Death Engineer]

So a box where you could view each type of message? That's not a bad idea.

The drops are another tough thing. If you're close to someone else who kills a mob and the mob drops something, it will show up in the drop list. That's probably what you're referring to with the <None> entries.
