Was the pet linked to you when you started attacking?

The reason is this matters. GamParse is basically built around the "fight" construct. The fight begins the first time a Player does or receives damage from an NPC. It ends when it parses a "slain" message, or at the time index of the last damage if there is no damage detected for the Timeout period (default 30 seconds).

If a player doesn't do damage, or take damage, the fight will not start. That is, if you debuff a mob, root/snare it, or take any other non-damaging action, it will not consider the fight to have started yet.

So if you have a pet that is not linked to anyone, it will read as 1 NPC fighting another NPC. Since there is no player doing damage, it will also consider it to not be a real fight.

When you link a pet to a player, it takes the player from the Player List, and the pet from the Pet List and combines them together into a Combined List. It will then retroactively go through the fights and reparse them with the combined damage.

However, if the player did no damage like I mentioned above, then there is NO fight for it to reparse as it never created it in the first place.

Does the /pet leader do anything to force Gamparse to recognize a new pet, it seems like it doesn't make any difference but just making sure.

The /pet leader command is the main way in which GamParse identifies and links a pet to a player. It is always good practice to use it when a pet is summoned or when you first start the parser. It won't do anything if a pet is already linked, but it won't hurt anything either.

Also, if I switched pets would changing the "defualt pet" in settings to the mob name make any difference or is the restart always required?

The default pet simply performs a link between that pet name and the default player when the parser starts. This was added after they allowed players on Live servers to give their pets a permanent name. It isn't really intended to be used for temporary pets though it should still work.

As I mentioned before, GamParse stores a list of pet *names*, but it does NOT store links between pets and their owners. So if you parse a complete file it will see the /pet leader commands in the log and link them so you don't have to manually, but if you start it in monitor mode without reloading the file there will be no pets linked (outside of the default one) until someone does a /pet leader.

Nice to see Dev support for p99.

Don't forget to set the "Discard if less than" value down to something more reasonable like "1". I think the default is in the thousands, so nothing on p99 will show up until you change this.

You could set it to 1, but I might recommend it be a little higher than that. Maybe 100-500 or maybe a little more if you're playing on a server with higher expansions.


The whole point of that setting is to allow it to ignore stuff like mass-killing grey (or green) con mobs that can clutter it up. If you really want to parse 1,000 kills of level 5 trash mobs in Crushbone when you're level 60 more power to you. I generally don't want to.

In sad fairness, doing this efficiently represents several large parts of the p99 experience.

I knew you existed. I just didn't care until it became annoying for me / a cease fire agreement was made with Daybreak.
