Sythlin DPS Tool invite!

[gmolnar2112]

Hello all,

 

            After certain amount of time in development and testing with friends, I figured it would be good to share this tool with the larger community.

 

A few disclaimers first:

- This external tool reads log files in real-time to organize and present data clearly. It's not a mod.

- If you think using this tool will ruin your COH experience, don't use it. Many players enjoy mastering builds with various abilities and enhancements. This tool lets you see the results of your efforts in real-time, whether you're doing PVP, PVE, or farming. COH players are passionate which I love, enjoy the game in the way it makes you happy!

 

In this forum I will not be going in depth since I created a Youtube video showing the tools features along with a Discord server. Here are some examples images!

 

Discord:

Sythlin DPS Tool Discord Link

 

Youtube Demonstration:

 

 

Simplified Mode:

 

Detailed Mode:

 

PVE Overlay View(In windowed Mode)

 

This overlay I created for people without multiple monitors, gives you quick access to start Recording/Reset meters.  (This reset in the overlay is destructive and will clear your log file along with the meters! There is a non destructive reset meters in the main window.)

 

I did my best to capture as much information as possible for all different types of builds and enhancements, but I know I still missing more. Would love to hear more feedback from people since the tool is still being actively developed. 

 

Would love to see more and more people post their builds and show their DPS with the tool! Would love to see someone beat my numbers!

 

Thank you all and see you in Pocket D!

Fixing discord link

[Doomrider]

Okay this is pretty cool, and surprisingly easy to set up and get going. Took me 2-3 minutes to get going.
I've wanted a live damage meter for awhile. Good job.

[ScarySai]

Some dude randomly shows up and makes the most impressive attempt at a parser thus far.

 

Can't test it for a good bit, but I assume this one properly accounts for overkill damage?

[Hedgefund]

I look forward to checking this out but I wanted to let you know the Discord link is to this page, not to Discord.  I was able to join the Discord by copy/pasting the text containing the link, but the link itself doesn't work.  I tried on my phone and my PC.

[gmolnar2112]

@Hedgefund I apologize, I fixed the link, thank you for the call out!

 

@Doomrider Appreciate it! Thank you!

 

@ScarySai Just to make sure, overkill is the amount of damage over the health pool of a target? So if a mob has 500 life, you hit for 600, there is 100 overkill damage? If this is correct, then currently COH doesn't output that type of data in the logs, and if it isn't in the logs, I can't display it. The tool is restricted purely on the games ability to output logs.

[AmrasNotHere]

Thank you for sharing this, was super fast and easy to get going.

I like this a lot after spending some time with it, just have to mentally filter out the overkill dam.

 

More customization on the ingame interface would be nice, I don't care about healing as a blaster, and such.

[gmolnar2112]

@ScarySai Thanks, worked really hard on making it easy/fun to use! I can understand the overkill damage would be huge for minions or LT's, but for Bosses/EB's/AV's, that overkill would be a smaller %. Just for my curiosity, why is the overkill damage so important? Are you looking for just a more pure applied damage? Because if you deal 500 damage, and something only has 300 life...you ability still dealt 500 dmg, but the applied damage was only 300.

 

When it comes to customization of the PVE overlay, please add that to the discord feature suggestion panel and I can see when I can fit it in. That should be a simple change.

Seems to be.  I downloaded it and it at least reads the logfile in static fashion.  (Looks like it works fine ongoing as well)

Mostly a read on practical output. But if it's not doable then it's whatever.

 

I've had a few frustrations with lot of people in the community that don't know how to read data correctly, so removing the extra step would help.

 

Anyway, this thing needs a pin.

Bravo Zulu.  Works like a champ.  thank you.

[gmolnar2112]

@High_Beam Thank you so much!

 

Currently working on a new timeline feature that I already have working. Just need to do a lot of UI work to make it easy to use! This will allow  people to dial in to certain time stamps of combat, dynamically tag sessions, or auto create sessions based on a timeframe that the user can specify(If there are 2 mins of no combat, create new session).

[gmolnar2112]

Hello all, just added a huge new feature which is timeline graph view with full functionality for zooming and live updating during combat. With that a lot more features which are listed in the discord channel! Please enjoy!
