Log Parsers

[knottyb0y]

I wouldn't see a log parsing program that points out /loc commands and transposes that onto a map hosted by the program.

1. You aren't getting info that you cannot got in the client
2. you are not gaining an unfair advantage (doesn't tell you where npc's are, or spawning)
3. it is not changing the way the interface or the way your client interacts with the server

really little difference between an app that does this, and using eqatlas, other than it helps you determine your exact location (with probably limited accuracy).

THe Real difference is ShowEQ reads the packets sent to the server to give you information that you would not have.

Macroquest changes the way the client interacts with the server to give you abilities you would not have.

This would just read /loc commands stored in the log files and estimate where your player is on a map.

With that said it's just a matter of hearing an official explanation or "use at your own risk".
