Csm
 

I have Fetish's Nightfall and theres a button for CSM, i kinda understand what its for , but it doesn't do anything but say "unable to ignore<something>"

whats the deal here...its supposed to parse combat statistics right?

This is for future integration with CSM including MP3 control and parsing. I am glad he included it, seeing as how I wrote it. :)

i have been looking at it and through the xml files, it seems to be mostly graphics related and it sends, or tries to send commands out, but it seems that either EQ isn't accepting the commands or theres supposed to be a program running that will accept the commands...


i'm going to read up on the EQ XML materials and if anyone has advice regarding this CSM and getting it to work, i'm all ears, btw, thanks for the reply.

what is CSM....
 

CSM CombatStats Manager

what is Combatstats? it's a data Parser, with a MP3 player built in, it is controlable from typing commands into your log file which it actively reads.

the CSM that hirebrand wrote ( and you did a damn nice job hirebrand ) doesnt work atm due to the limitations of what we can code using SoE's (cough)version of XML, Hirebrand took it upon himself to code a manager that could theoreticly control combatstats from the EQ interface, it technically can work, IF CS was coded to recognize the output hirebrand was able to deliver......

Luckily the writer of CS has been following the coding being done here, and has mentioned that he will be moding CS to accept the code from CSM.

we the EQ2interface community anxiously await his release, i know at least, Fetish, Laff and myself have all included hirebrands CSM in out mods in anticipation of it working.

This is my best understanding of the current status, but aden, hirebrand or others may be able to shed more light on the topic.

Exactly.

FYI, CSM is NOT included with any Fetish mod. When its functional I may include it. Its possible someone created a Fetish addon that includes CSM.

I had a thought the other day ... (yeh yeh no jokes guys lol)
Now CSM looks at the log file thats getting written oks?
So it can accept the "In game" commands you send to it

Ok so is it possiblel to write an app that will look at that log file also and pass the relevant info onto a mp3 player like winamp that can take command line arguments ?

Some guy did this with eq1 with winamp a longtime back... now the mp3 player I have on there now is a stand alone job.

I dunno just putting a thought out here in case you guys can do somthing with it =)

That's almost exactly what CSM does...

Without scanning the entire universe of information, just curious how this CSM integration was coming along? I see it in a few UI's out there, but still see the "can't ignore" messages when I try to use it. I will check the SOE forums as well, but thought I'd toss it out here in case anyone else is scratching their ears about this whole CSM business.

I tried to get the mp3 part to work via "do_file_commands" but cant seem to get it to input to main chat window :confused:

But i can get the stats from the output log straight into the the group window via a button in the UI np at all :)

Hence not needing to use windowed mode to paste the dps info etc into that channel ;)
