Damage Parser

[damageps]

Yeah I know, I have winrar, the file that is inside of the tarball is what I was talking about. Is that also a compressed file?

[Thrasher]

i guess so.. you should end up with a bunch of files actually

Ok, redownloaed the file. Here is the procedure that I followed.

I proceeded to the link http://test.gentoo-portage.com/~thrasher/eq2log/

and clicked the download here link which downloaded the file eq2log.tgz

I right click this file and go to extract here. The only file that comes from this is labelled eq2log. This is a file with no extension.

Am I doing something wrong or is there something that I am missing

i think your winrar is broken.. but whatever i recompressed it with zip

Thanks! I was able to download it successfully. However, I do have a few questions to ask because I cannot seem to load the page correctly with parsing my own chat log.

What happens when I load the page, is it brings up the page similar to your link, in it lists all of the encounters and such (when you click on them it says that the page cannot be found...very obvious why)

I guess what I'm curious of is, what lines of code would I need to change to make it work with my chatlog. Also, what if the chatlog was on a different drive, would we be able to access it from the other drive?

the parser.php page has to be run each time you want it to update... right now it just has my old page..

and just edit the path in the parser.php file to whatever you would like, relative or absolute path... c:\blah\blah\whatever

I finally got everything working. This is an excellent parser! By far the best so far. I've tested 3 parsers so far, but most of them are generic and list maybe 10 stats, dps, hits, misses, etc.

Its good to see one that parses as much as the fight as possible as yours, I really like being able to see how much dmg the mob has done as well as being able to compare it to the others in the group.

The only thing that would make it better and I dont even know if its possible would be a way to tell what weapon was being used and/or what type of damage. Certain mobs are more vulnerable to crush, slash, or pierce, so I think thats a pretty good way to find out where/when you should switch to your best weapon of that nature.

Anyway, great parser!!

may be an older winrar. Current winrar versions unzip both files for you so you never see the double compression. A tgz file is the same thing as a tar.gz file, which essentially is a .gz compressed file inside of a .tar compressed file. If your version of Winrar isn't opening it correctly you can try changing the file extension to tar.gz and if it still doesn't work, try unzipping what you have, and rename the file you unzip to a .gz file. Maybe that will work...
