New map desktop app coming soon (as long as it's still kosher with p99 rules)

I don't even know what this means. Do the devs patch the EQ code (including some dlls)? Sure. Can they run any code they want from in there? Most likely.

Is there a giant difference between patching a game to make it work more classically and installing code that monitors your system outside the confines of the game? Obviously, and that's why it's more likely that IF they were to "fix" this non-problem, they would take an approach that involves manipulating the game (eg. delaying log output) rather than playing NSA.

But if the devs want to ban log parsing after it's been a part of EQ for over 15 years, it's their world, we just play in it. /shrug

So I am trying to get this to run and for some reason when I load the .bat it throws an error in the cmd prompt and the page it loads in firefox gives a 404 not found message

Sifted through quite a few pages and couldn't find anything pointing to troubleshooting these issues

Me too - I'm corresponding with the author in PM's - maybe will bring it here for more to see. (Although he is being very helpful, just maybe more eyes on the problem might help?)

Read the readme on github, but the main things are:

If you use a custom (non-standard) EQ path, make sure you update settings.lisp as such:

(setf *eq-path* "C:/Your/Custom/Path/With/Trailing/Slash/")

Feel free to remove the *junk-setting* (or leave in, but it's fine to remove).

Note that it is FORWARD not BACKWARD slashes.

After that, make sure you have a "Logs" directory and a "maps" directory.

Lastly, make sure you use case sensitive paths (don't do all lower case etc.).

Let me know if that helps.

Did so by un commenting the path, just changing the path, trying with no spaces and just adding a copy of your code under what was already there. nothing seems to be working

also tried erasing everything from file and placing just your code with my path, that did nothing to change what was alerady happening

Edit: think I may have found the problem. When I try to run everything I had one error come up stating that it could not find .net 4.5

Seeing as this computer runs xp that is a problem, as 4.5 will not run(well) on xp

Was really looking forward to using this, oh well, maybe once my good computer gets fixed and I have a reliable new Mint install going

This doesn't use .net in any way (its using Steel Bank Common Lisp aka SBCL, which compiles down to a straight exe).

I haven't used it yet, but when I envisioned something similar, I thought it would be cool if it could use 2 or more locs to give you a vector drawn on the map...

Could be set up to parse for a specific phrase in "say", and then draw a line based on the next 2 or 3 /locs
