The KGB Oracle Forums The KGB Great Hall of History (ARCHIVE) Darkfall Members Forum Major Darkfall Scripting Project

Hi all,

I had recently started working on a script manager for Darkfall when Jet tipped me off about chat logs. My dream is now more ambitious than I had originally planned, so I am looking for some help.

My goal is to use AutoIt to create a single tool that:

• Allows the user to set hot keys to any number of AutoIt scripts
• Allows the user to quickly generate rudimentary scripts with a simple GUI
• Allows the user to import existing scripts to assign hot keys to them
• Parses chat logs to a text file in such a way that it could be imported to excel so analytic reports could be run (ie, who were you killed by and when it happened, skill gain over time, crafting successes vs fails, etc...)

I am looking for help planning and programming, as well as gathering and formatting information (ie, sentences that you frequently see in system chat, "Skill _____ was a success" or "Inventory item added: _____" are just a couple examples).

Please reply to this thread if you are interested in lending a hand. If there is enough interest, then I will lay out details about the tools I hope to use to collaborate with all of you on this project!

If i knew anything at all about programming I would be all about this. but alas I am a computer dunce.

You can help compile a list of system chat events that people are interested in tracking! A large part of the battle is trying to figure out what to look for in the chat log...

I am logging my chats. Let me know how I can help. I am excited about this!.

-Total amount of taxes received each week w/daily average
-Total number of clan member deaths per day, per week, average per hour
-Same as above for kills/ganks


If you can parse clan vault entries, would this be a way to track individual donations by members? Ergo bypassing the need for the hated job of a treasurer?

This one will take some time, but i would like to see a 'road map' of all of hamlets for when they become vulnerable. The messages are broad cast <villageName> will become vulnberable in 30 min etc.

Take current time + timeTilVulnerable <city-A> = captureTime001
captureTime001 + timeTilVulnerable <city-B> = captureTime002
" "

Then take the captureTimes and plot them on a map in a 'connect the dots' fashion to create a campaign to maximize the time of the raiding party(s).
