hey Im playing Shaiya and was wondering if anyone has made like a dmg parser or exp/hr counter. We had these on FFXI and I would just like to see how fast im lvling or who's doing the most dmg in the party.
Thanks a bunch for all your help
Awesome thread btw

Nope, but it shouldn't be too hard to make one. Just keep track of how much experience you've gained and for how long, and do the math:
Code: Select all
local expGained = 0;
local startTime = os.time();
local lastAnnounceTime = os.time();
local lastTotalExp = 0;
while(true) do
local newTotalExp = memoryReadInt(proc, experienceaddr, experience_offset);
if( newTotalExp > lastTotalExp ) then
expGained = expGained + (newTotalExp - lastTotalExp);
end
-- has 10 seconds elapsed? update the exp/min
if( os.difftime(os.time(), lastAnnounce) > 10 ) then
local timeElapsed = os.difftime(os.time(), startTime);
local expPerMin = 0;
if( timeElapsed == 0 ) then timeElapsed = 1; end; -- prevent division by zero
expPerMin = expGained/(timeElapsed/60.0);
lastAnnounce = os.time();
printf("Exp/min: %0.1f\n" expPerMin);
end
end

The exp per hour I can understand.
But what about making a DPS one?
Could you read the memory for the combat log strings? (That sort of thing never seems to work for me.)
Or perhaps you'd have to find the address where the calculation occurs?
The script itself would be easy, but how do you get the data?
Please don't say .dll injection

You can do it by reading memory. ZeroSignal used something like this to make sure skills were cast properly. It's up to you to find the pointers to the combat log.
Once you've got a string (which should be something like "You use [SKILL] and hit for X damage."), you can use Lua's
string functions, you can pull out the damage. Then, it is as simple as taking your average damage over, say, 10 seconds.

Or if you can access the Attackspeed of the weapon, you can calculate it depending on the variable.
