Ruby Chat Log analyzer

[illandous]

Sounds like a sourceforge thing, plenty of people share code out there. Unless we want to use a forum to support code, update revisions and all of that. I'm sure I can provide one off www.illandous.com (just a parked site at the moment.)

log analyzer request:

Have an active listen for !startlog and !stoplog

Damage done by monster break down
:Monster Name: P S B F C E A
:Damage: XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX

It's great to know who is doing what damage and hitting for what but it's even better to know what YOU are getting hit with. Helps find holes/flaws in the build or gear for certain types of monsters me thinks.

The report does show that kind of a breakdown, in the Monster's area it shows damage dealt, to whom, and what type(s). And in the report for each player, it shows the damage received, from whom, and what type(s)

As for the startlog/stoplog, that's a good idea for localizing the analysis. I can add that in today, i'll post when it's ready

Ok, the ruby script is updated. There is a second option at the top of the file, below the file name property, called $LOG_SECTIONS . By default it is set to false, if you set this value to true (by replacing the false with true in any text editor) the analyzer will only look at lines between when it sees a line that ends with !startlog and !stoplog. It's case insensitive, but it will not recognize the command unless it is the last word on the line. I have only tested this "manually" by editing a log file myself, let me know how this works for people "in the wild"

Just in case you see this post and not the parent, the script can be found here: devel.snipehunt.net/downloads/chatAnalyzer.rb

Enjoy!

Updated script after I found a bug, just in case anyone saw the bug and was about to post

Seem to run into an error when it gets to lines concerning when I shift.

The problem is with the 'attacks.' at the end of the line. I fixed it by adding "'attacks.' => :null" to the @linetypes entry on line 16, and then copying the function heal() on line 150 into a new blank function called null(). All better

Hi
Great sript!
Now maybe I can find out why I keep dying!
You mentioned in post 1 that you could get it to output to file, rather than to console - is this easy? Has it been implimented? It sounds like a great feature!
I cannot script, so cannot guess how much work it would be.

Gonna go test out the analyzer!
Keep up the good work!

I'm guessing that you could pipe the output to file

chatAnalyzer.rb > outputlog.txt
or
chatAnalyzer.rb | outputlog.txt

In the meantime... I can't even get my NWN to LOG yet :/

Bakchuda & Claus,

Many thanks for your respective analysis tools - they have proved handy already. Now if we could just get 1 tool to produce Claus's table with Bak's level of detail I would be in hog heaven. Since my coding smells however I will be grateful for whatever you produce.

Resonance, make sure that ClientEntireChatWindowLogging = 1 in your nwnplayer.ini. You should then get logs appearing in the log folder

Also, I'm noticed this as I've been scripting.. I only can keep my log up to 3 meg or so. then it just stops. Anyone else seeing this?

Yeah, I've had it in nwnplayer.ini with 0 success, will try again tonight, probably typo'd or something. That switch goes under Game Options correct?

[cathedralmaster]

ClientEntireChatWindowLogging=1
ClientChatLogging=1
RotateServerLog=0

In the NWNplayer.ini under game options. I keep ClientChatLogging=0 since it the ruby script seems not to like it (phrases keep showing up as monsters).

[illandous]

Thanks Cath, I will give that a shot.
