Log Parser

[OneHitWonder]

Does anyone have a log parser available?  I had access to one back in the day but I have no idea how to make one myself.  It's a great tool for RP, being able to pull out the channels used for RP and remove the game ones like LFG.  I'm getting tired of manually copying and pasting out the IC stuff. :P

Are you talking about a dedicated tab for RP?

 

If so, you right click on your tabs and Add Tab and call it RP.  Then you can roght click on that tab and click Edit Tab.  This will allow you to add all the channels you want and ignore the ones you don't want in this channel.  Just don't forget to add NPC channel, Cutscene channel, System and Rewards (the last 2 show you the inf/xp/salvage/enhancement rewards for defeating a mob and completing a mission, as well as showing you when a mob is defeated)

That's not what One is talking about...

 

If you turn on the option to keep copies of City's chat logs, each day it'll make a text file containing whatever was posted to the channels you're a member of, plus all of the system messages you see in things like the Combat and Rewards tab.

 

If you want to keep in-character conversations that you had in Local or RP or Team chat, for instance, you can get them from there.

 

Unfortunately, since the game's logging saves EVERYTHING, that can be an enormous pain in the rear to clean up into a reasonable form. For instance, here's a clip of what mine looked like in raw form during a conversation between Kai and Blue the other night...

=============================

 

That's only a few minutes time span, and there are exactly three lines in that entire mess that are relevant.

 

Once upon a time someone had made a little app that would filter and clean the mess up, making conversations and planning sessions much, much easier to read and keep in a useful form.

 

One wants to know if anyone has come up with a new version, or updated the old one, to work with Homecoming.

A quick and dirty way would be to use a text editor like Notepad++ and search for the channel you want. So if the channel name is '[Roleplay]', just search the logs for '[Roleplay]' and Notepad++ will dump all the lines containing that search term into a second window below, from which you can copy out those lines as a new text file.

 

I've written a simple log parser in Python but you'd need to be familiar with using a Python integrated development environment (IDE) in order to use it. Which is less complicated than it might sound, but not trivial.

Thanks, I downloaded Notepad++ and that's made it easier.  Still clunky, but not as bad as going through the logs line by line.

[_NOPE_]

Sounds like a program that I could make fairly easily, hmm.......

Glad it helped! Notepad++ also supports regular expressions if you are searching for more than one word in each line.
