hey "elite raiders"

[Yagi]

I need a parser to properly evaluate my playstyle. I admit freely that I am having problems building a proper database. I am having issues even finding the proper readable file. You folks are all elite apparently, point me toward the proper file, I'll make it myself if I have to, and if you dont want to share, np at all, just toss me a bone it all seems to be write only or useless. Atm I cant even seem to find anything remotely useful so I need one of you serious raiders to point me in the right direction, I dont need my hand held but at this point, I do need an idea of what file(s) to look at, I am failing hard at my attempts.
If such a thing does not exist for ddo please do not take this post in the wrong fasion. But even a file name would be really helpful at this point.

lol

ok so are you talking about a dump file of the combat log?

we have been asking for this for years and as far as i know there has been no response from turbine

[Emili]

... if you only knew how many times I been tossed in a pool of drama because I'm paging thru the bloody combat logs instead of paying attention to someones tells you'd lyao - I suppose I do so way too often... anyway If they game us a dump file of the combat logs we'd be able to totally cheat the game.

[abull74]

Emili, why are you paying attention to combat logs....I would think that ...miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss...........

would get boring to look at after a while!

I AM THE FPOON!!!

As others have said, there isn't a file that you can look for. However, the chat server has its own IP and chat is sent in the clear; so you can use a packet sniffer to pull out the combat stuff and store it yourself.

Now we just need a program to automate that. It can grab everything that would go to the combat log and dump it to a file.

I believe Ethereal and/or WireShark can do this. You just have to take the performance hit of running them with DDO up.

Or use another machine in your network...

Pretty sure that violates the EULA...

Wow, this thread totally did not turn out to be what I expected...

My first thought was, "already? So soon after the 'good job cleaning up your act' post?"

That has to wait for a Friday evening so it goes the whole weekend

On Argonessen, Taking raiding seriously means being adequately drunk and ornery.

Never needed a parcer for those runs. Would like the option though.

Yeah I figured there was gonna be some huge thread-wide acrimony with further allegations by haters that a certain a guild was full of hackers and cheaters but happily, I was wrong.

Disclaimer: The certain guild in question, to my knowledge, is not full of hackers and cheaters. They are some pretty good players with whom I like to run occasionally.

Hmm...gonna have to read the fine print

**Edit**

I found this in the Turbine EULA:

9. You will not attempt to interfere with, hack into, or decipher any transmissions to or from the Game or any aspect of the Game.

So...it's a no go.

Even if that wasn't there, the pcap file would be HUGE as it sees every packet that would go across (assuming they are using UDP, if it was TCP it would be... OMG), and assuming that some how that information is transmitted in clear text so you could read it... it would still be such a major undertaking that it would be all but impractical.

Not everybody...certain folks whose ego has gone to their heads and like to "keep score" for us all may be exempt from /hugging.
