Ok folks, after some tinkering I have a Ruby script that can parse through a neverwinter nights log file and extract a good amount of useful information. Certain limitations are unavoidable, like mobs with the same name that are actually different creatures (Guardians in the Maze as a perfect example). If somebody names their character "attacks attacks attacks", or "Fortitude Saves Saves Fortitude", the script will likely croak. But anyway, for a little sample of the kind of analysis you can get out of it, here it is:

To run the program, first download the script here: www.keleous.com/downloads/chatAnalyzer.zipYou will also need to install Ruby for your operating system: www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/The file name that is analyzed is set at the very top of the script file, you can open it with any text editor. Then get the script and the log file into the same directory (you can put the script right into the logs dir if you want) and run the program from a console by typing ruby chatAnalyzer.rbRight now it prints everything to the console, so if you run this in windows, you will have to start a command prompt first. I can add in functionality to write to a file, and perhaps even a nice CSS enhanced HTML file, but I wanted to get a feel for the interest first. Try it out yourself, and any comments or suggestions would be very welcome. |

Very nice script!
I have a collection of Python and shell scripts that do similar things, but nothing so integrated. Very handy.
Thanks,
Acaos

Anyway you can add to it the minimum ab recorded?
Also, several of the highest misses are higher than the lowest hits, I take it because of rolling 1 or 20 - anyway you can cut out those instances so as to get a better idea of the AC?

Post by Bakchuda on Feb 8, 2007 0:49:08 GMT
I can certainly remove the 1's and 20's rolls, but another reason a hit can be recorded at a lower AC is due to flat-footedness.
Displaying the minimum AB is easy enough, just remember that it can be affected by things like curse song, called shot: arm, etc. All of the separate recorded AB's are available as well, but the list looks bizzare, since different ABs recorded if the target is flanked, attacks of opportunity, etc, so it may show like 12 different values for one character.
There are a couple things I have not parsed out yet. One is spell resistance, because sadly the line that displays the SR check and roll does not identify the target, and there really is not a reliable way to link the Save roll check to the SR check. The best I could do would be to display the SRs that have shown up, to give someone an idea of the SR values they are up against.
Another thing not yet parsed are the Damage resistance lines. The main reason why I have not yet is because the damage types are not always displayed for each amount that is absorbed, so it would be incomplete information at best. It is also not trivial to bind the damage absorption lines with the source of the damage being done, since things get thrown into the log so fast the order can get screwed up. But if a few people have interest in that aspect I could work on it.

Ok, I'm going to stop working on my real time VB one now. Was working kinda cool in windowed mode though.
Can I get code from you ekst?

Anyone willing to take this to the next level and pretty these up with some charts and graphs? Both scripts look might[y] informational.
Edit: I'm great at spelling, terrible at typing.

Heh, I'm great at typing and horrible at spelling. What can ya do.
The one logger that I am working on is off box, so that when I was playing on one system, the other system would be telling me what types of damage I'm dishing and recieving. Not very optimized though.

Is there a way that we could all share code? Even though you can't combine PERL with .NET with whatever Ruby runs  but the logic is the same. I'd like to work on a .NET version that could pretty things up a bit, use graphs possibly, and I LOVE ilandous' idea of running it either off-box or in windowed mode so you could have it up and running, displaying data at real-time. Maybe the other languages can do this too, but I'm most familiar with .NET, so that would be my programming environment of choice personally. I think sharing code/programs would only help everyone else too. Anyone who is willing to share the code can PM me for my email address (I hate posting addresses on forums because of all of the crawlers out there now). This would be a great thing to collaborate on, and there's already an AWESOME amount of groundwork laid. Amazing work Bakchuda and Claus!!! |

The ruby script in the original post is the code itself, so that's up there too.
And it is now updated to display the minimum recorded AB. Next up will be output to a nice colored HTML page.

Anyone here ever play wow? You can do all the HUD things in that application. Don't know if NWN limits that ability or not... perhaps there is a way to tie in your wonderful code resources into an active x applet that can 'float' at the top of a full screened nwn?
Health bars over party members heads are nice too - if someone is that talented and could smack together a hack for that? I couldn't find anything remotely related to this on the Vault pages. Then again I'm not renowned for my ability to do searches.

Wow. That sounds like a complicated hack resonance. How would you track player movements?
Maybe make something like Xfire's ingame chat window (I have no idea how it works).

Post by resonance378 on Feb 9, 2007 18:29:10 GMT
Yeah dunno either, I'm no game programmer, I just play one on television. I did see someone who had a very nice name plaque over the heads of each player (in the screen shots) - if you can do that, you can do the health bar. I don't know if its a hak or what. Probably end up being just more graphics lag I don't need  |
