GamParse 2.0.0.x Beta

As most of you know I've been working the last couple months on adding improvements and fixing a lot of long standing issues with GamParse. It is NOT yet finished, but I believe it is in a place where it is mostly stable and requires/needs wider testing to iron out further issues.

So for those interested in helping me test it, providing feedback, and offering suggestions, follow this thread.

You can download the latest test version from this thread:

>>>Download here<<<


Each time I make a change I'll reference which test version you should be using to see the changes, but you should always be able to download from the above link.

Be aware that as a Beta version all settings will be default and need to be adjusted how you like them. Each update will reset settings to default to ensure it starts in a clean state.

Special Thanks to Kizant for helping with some speed optimizations and to the EQ Coders who put in the new messaging stuff: Niente, Dzarn, Klanderso.


Final Note: Loading new logs (Post TBL patch) or older logs (Pre-November patch) should not encounter any huge problems. If you load a log that has info from those patch days, (Or Beta, don't try to load Beta logs at all) there may be a problem. I'm working on fixing it but it's more complicated than you'd think.

Final Final Note: Let me restate that it is NOT YET FINISHED. Things are still in progress and there are bound to be several issues I haven't personally encountered yet. If you find a problem, please post about it here and keep this thread on topic.

As far as specific testing goes:

Test EVERYTHING.

Almost nothing went untouched so everything needs to be tested for accuracy. There are special tabs that are viewable. These are for TESTING and will be removed. They display raw data that has been parsed and can be used to compare to the raw log and/or the calculated summaries to look for discrepancies. Be aware that these tabs are SLOW and can take several minutes to populate if you load in a big log file. That's normal.

Changes

-The FightList Tab has been removed and the functionality moved to the Fight Navigator.

Thank you SOOOO much!! <3

Small change to .54 unrelated to anything you guys can see.

its f**king Christmas morning! ty man!

Fabulous! Thank you! It is like my birthday and Xmas wrapped into one.
Donation sent!!!

Update .55, re-download from link in the first post please.

-Added parsing for "learn" and "sweep" AttackTypes.

"[Sun Jan 13 17:22:38 2019] A lorenado tries to learn YOU, but YOU riposte!"

And with that I'm out to go relax for the rest of today.

Happy parsing.

Seems like linking pets isn't working, I think it's saving them as players.

In the Class column of the overview tab, my pet, Puksu, is saved as "EarthPet." However, it does not show up in the "Link the pet:" list, nor does using the pet leader command in game combine it.

In the ini file, I see this line:
TrackedPlayer=Puksu,EarthPet

IIRC there should be a separate type (TrackedPet or something like that) for pets.

Edit: Maybe that isn't what's happening, I don't know. But Puksu definitely won't link.

Check the chat tab sancus, do you see any chat from your pet there? If so, what is it?

My guess is it saw pet chat and thought it was a player. May have missed something on the exclusion list.

It does show pet chat in say:

[Fri Jan 18 19:42:04 2019] Puksu says, 'Sorry, Master... calming down.'
[Fri Jan 18 19:42:11 2019] Puksu says, 'Sorry, Master... calming down.'
[Fri Jan 18 20:21:10 2019] Puksu says, 'Thanks for the Summoned: Gorstruck Iceblade, Sancus.'
[Fri Jan 18 20:21:10 2019] Puksu says, 'Thanks for the Summoned: Gorstruck Iceblade, Sancus.'
[Fri Jan 18 21:03:15 2019] Puksu says, 'As you wish, oh great one.'
[Fri Jan 18 21:05:07 2019] Puksu says, 'Thanks for the Summoned: Gorstruck Ragesword, Sancus.'
[Fri Jan 18 21:05:07 2019] Puksu says, 'Thanks for the Summoned: Gorstruck Shortsword, Sancus.'

Didn't see it in any other chat type.

Say shouldn't matter, it's tells that usually cause problems. Can you do a log search for tells from your pets? It may not show in chat tab (it's actually not supposed to).

I don't have the exact message on hand but the pet sends a tell message when they start attacking a npc which I know sets off tell audio triggers. Could that be the problem?

These are the messages I see:

[Fri Jan 18 19:35:39 2019] Puksu tells you, 'Attacking an elemental of pure smoke Master.'
[Fri Jan 18 19:50:22 2019] Puksu tells you, 'By your command, master.'
[Fri Jan 18 19:51:13 2019] Puksu tells you, 'I live again...'

There's about 380 "Attacking <mob name>" messages, but hopefully one example suffices.

Overall looks really good!

Spells and Discs tab seems to not be rendering anything, even though the "SpellTest" tab seems to be recording them properly.

I don't have any long-ish fights yet, but dps merc damage seems under-calculated. Will report back with more detailed information.

I'm not sure what you mean. I see spells and discs. The only thing it should be missing is the new resist messages since I didn't add those yet.

I don't believe merc damage shows up differently then player damage so if it is picking up one it should pick up the other, but I could be wrong. Mercs have always been pretty bad too.

Sancus can't seem to replicate the pet linking problem so if anyone else has trouble linking pets, let me know.

Update .56

I disabled the auto update check for Beta versions. Shouldn't get a popup once an hour anymore, only when it starts up.

Can't seem to get these forums to play well with Google Drive. Give me a few to find a place to put this screen shot.



Can ignore the merc stuff, the fights were just too short to have a decent sample.

Strange...

I'd say it might be a .NET issue (which version do you have? Should have 4.7+ 4.7.2 recommended)

or it could be something caused an error while it was updating and interrupted it. Did you get any errors?



I haven't seen that behavior with any test parse I've looked at.

So I like the Heal Overview tab, but one thing I'd like to be able to do is to view it by "Heals On" instead of "Heals By"...for example, show me all healing on tank X for a certain fight.

You also had over-heal percentage in there at one point--not sure if it's completely needed, but I do find it hard to figure out which healers are making good choices and which could use some advice from the heal lead from this tab. Maybe some averages on how much of a heal lands and how much is overheal?

Or maybe that should be a drill down tab where you just see all heals a particular player cast in an fight, and their respective targets?

Blue sky brainstorming here--just looking for ways to use this awesome new healing logging as a raid leader/heal lead to help my raid heal better overall.

Heal Breakdown Tab is coming Soon(TM). This is just an Overview, hence the name.

The Breakdown will be in two parts, from healer perspective and from healee perspective.

Healer healed players X, Y, and Z for this much and Healee was healed by players A, B, and C for this much.

If you didn't see the previous screenshots, I had calculations for how many times a heal landed for 0, for any value > 0, and how many times it landed for Full. Those will be on the breakdown tab.

it basically came down to something like 80-85% of all heals landed for 0, with 5-10% landing for full and 5-10% landing between 0 and full. It's kind of crazy.
