Log parsing is powerful. If you put /loc on a frequently used key guess what? You can easily read a log file read the coordinates and place a marker on a map. Add in sense heading check and you have a fully functional minimap.

There is already a program out there that does exactly this and it is allowed if I'm not mistaken.

I made my first overlay. A Harm Touch cooldown. Useful and a visual that is supposed to be partly in game, but I just don't like the look. Too sci fi. I don't like Duxa either because it just doesn't look right to me.

I've spent a long time trying myself, and I'm still not sure if my desired result is even possible. From the Gina references I've found it seems powerful but as it only parses the log, I'm not sure it can differentiate mobs with the same name both for the timer and for the timer title?

{S} lists the mobs name, but the issue is the timer resetting if I root another mob with the same name (as it re-triggers the search criteria). Of course you can configure it to start a new timer per mob even if the name is the same:

1:50 Root - A Fire Beetle
2:00 Root - A Fire Beetle

..but they are not exactly distinct, and if mob A dies then timer on mob B ends etc.

It would be sweet to make it distinct so if you root mob A, it has a timer for mob A regardless of same names on mobs B, C, D etc. What I'm looking for is a unique identifier to each mob so the timer won't reset should I root two mobs with the same name. I've messed around with {s1} but I don't see how its any different from {s}

It would be nice to append the number or variable to distinguish which mob the timer is referring to:

Ie.
1:50 Root - A Fire Beetle #1
2:00 Root - A Fire Beetle #2

I was interested in something like this too. You can't use the reset timer if refreshed option on something like mez because if you mez 2 mobs with the same name the second one you mez will just refresh your first timer as if you were just refreshing a mez on the same target. On the other hand if you use the create new timer each time option and do refresh a mez on the same mob you'll end up having multiple timers for the same mob.

Another issue I've run into is if you have multiple of the same class around. Like if I have a timer for my charm, but another enchanter charms a mob close enough to me for my log to pick it up, I'll get a timer for their charm as well. Is there any way around this?

I thought about that when I set up my HT cooldown. If you use casting macros you can add something that identifies your casts and put that identifier into the search string in addition to the standard spell message. Probably not a 100% solution but the only way that I see.

While I enjoy having access to my logs and all that entails, I would encourage you to not be an ass to people who don't share our opinion.

Respect for people with dissenting opinions is a sign of emotional maturity.

At first I was like... WHERE CAN I GET?! Then I remember i know just about every square inch of the game so not much use.

Then they too should have the emotional maturity to not cry about an optional program that everyone doesn't use.

I'm not the best with words but I know you're smart enough to understand what I mean.

Does this vagina program have access to any data in a log file that doesn't get presented on the screen inside EQ? Like if I am level 1 and cast a heal it does not show me the value of the heal, would this log parser have this value somewhere or I only get what I can witness via the game?
