YAL - Yet another logger

[phalthallus]

zomg Claus this is excellent. Incredibly easy to use. I love the dropdowns for the party, and retro parsing (just did a run from last night). Thanks so much for your work on this!

OK, this is officially extremely cool. Where can I send you a PayPal contribution as a token of my appreciation?

Uploaded 0.0.7b which is a bug fix issue (didn't recognize Ice Fiend Paragons and tweaked the html output). Get the perl version or the packed executable version. You only need one of these and if you don't know which one it's definately the executable version.

Glad you like it. The program is free as in free beer and I'm doing it because I find it fun and I'm learning something new (it's my first go at making a program with a GUI). It's an "have itch must scratch" kind of thing and if other people can use it then all the better.

If you still want to throw money my way I suppose you can use paypal to [e-mail] although I'm not sure how it works as I've only ever used it to to send money - not receive it.

Cheers,

Claus

Hi, ive been using your logger for a while now and I've got to say it's great! I do have a small request though..... I don't know if this is possible but here goes.... Would it be possible to be able to resize some of the internal windows from the GUI? I only suggest this as currently I run the logger on a second monitor (only a 15") , due to the resolution it cuts down the size of the damage taken / given panes so i can the damage amounts but not what creature is taking or delivering it, so it would be helpful to reduce the size of the windows on the left which shows attacks as these are less important to me.

I've abandoned all other loggers and only usng Claus's now. It really is amazing. The run txt saves are finally working perfectly, and I can reload past runs.

Couple of thoughts. I agree with the above being able to resize the windows...if only vertically, would be really useful.

The scroll bar gets extremely small. It might be useful to increase the minimum size that it shrinks to. Also, it still seems that you can only "grab" the scroll bar from the very bottom edge, instead of being able to click and drag from the center of the scroll bar.

You can select whether you want the scroll bars to automatically scroll down or stay where you have put them within preferences. Many times mid fight, I'll want to look back at some damages, but it forces itself to the bottom of the screen every reset. One option (that I think I noticed some time ago in bort's logger) is that if you scrolled up, it left it there (I assume by detecting the current location of the bar), and when you slid the bar back down to the bottom, it would continue to automatically slide down. I don't know if a on going detection of the bar/window location is complex to program or not, but it was useful.

Party Rolls are sent to the combat log, having these either pop up in a window or at least copied into the "chat log" would be great.

Somehow the logger seems to autoswitch to my current character after relogging, and offers to reset stats every time I enter a new hell zone...genius. The "other" party member populates the names reasonably well, but does keep a memory of all people in parties. So if I keep the logger running through a couple runs I can end up with a massive list. It might be really useful to limit the names in the pull down list to only the names in the last !who party. That would be very useful.

Thank you so much for all the work this really helps my game play.

Here is an alternate download while Clauses is down. It is permanent. I haven't heard from claus in a awhile. And I have a modified version of his that includes effect timers. But it's not ready for prime time yet.

Thank's very much for the mirror illandous

I have released a new version of this application and am actively developling it along with bug fixes. The current version is 0.1.1. I don't know if I want to start a new thread as I can not update the main thread here. Anyhow, here is the link:

www.keleous.com/downloads/yal.exe

I am actively develping on this application, please let me know any input that you have. I have intergrated some of the things I liked from my logger, and used the interface from his logger. Perl is simply faster for this type of application that I could hope for with .net.

Updates:
The new damage types have been added, please let me know if there are any issues with them.
The the immunity listing has been fixed, they will populate with the !list imm command
Effect timers have been added. They will now show up with the !effects command
Known issues:
Effects timers do not go away when they are dispelled, only when you die.

[illandous]

Updated the application to 0.1.2b

Updates:
When you are dispelled it now appears in your resists window and removes the effect from your listing.
When you cast a buff it remembers the last timer that you had at that effects and puts it in your effect listing. (I would use !effects after you buff the first time)
users that have () in the name now will show up properly.
The party listing will populate automatically with a !who party class command.
