PEQ : need high level zones to be collected

[red1234]

I just uploaded spawns in PoFire, PoAir, and PoWater in one zip. I hope I got them right.

[crom]

how do i convert the txt file to a sql file? and would it be posible to lets say use sutch a log for reviewing pvp battles ??

for logs in generell. will try to provide some. only prob is that i often cant sit 30ish minutes in a zone whit out geting attacked by some ppl . do u want raid logs in generell like the usual place MT there use a zillion clerics and kill the mob ? or only the ring 10 type raids wer lots of triggers are involved ??


crom

ps. sorry for my not so good english if u find spelling errors. u can keep am

[sotonin]

red can you reupload your logs... zip each zones log seperately.

1 zip for pofire 1 zip for powater, etc. and please name the text files with (youname)-(zoneshortname)-(typeoflog).txt

I saved them before i rejected them, so i can put them up myself, but i figure you would want your name attached to them so please can you do it yourself ? we have to keep the zones seperate as opposed to uploading a archive of many zones, for logging purposes.

thanks for the collecting guys!

Do you need them again?

yes please feel free to upload them. I know TCS has many logs that are not up on the page, (i've uploaded all ive collected as has sandy. but older logs wont be up there.) how recent are the collects?

feel free to upload any and all good logs you have, this is the new repository we use to get the logs from )

[red1234]

Sorry, will do.
And PoTorment was in there too.

[red1234]

Uh, I deleted the logs I uploaded earlier so I got a new PoTorment and PoWater - the others were being raided. I also got Thurg, PoEarthB, Netherbian and Butcherblock.

[sotonin]

awesome man. thanks!

[sandy]

first thing we need for high level zones are pathing logs, it is log where you are alone in the zone while sitting for 30 minutes to get perfect roaming mobs patrols =)

and we need also raids to be able to recreate scrip events, that could be big script events like ring war 10 but it can be just a little where you attack a monster and at a certain % life he spawns some adds etc ...

if you are doing a quest it can be collected too =)

but really we are at a step where we are building the world, so we need in priority pathing logs of those zones, after that in priority raid logs =)

[red1234]

OK, so to get the pathing logs, just zone in, wait for 20-30 minutes and then hit the process button?

[sotonin]

well you can get all zones in one sitting.

start up eqcollector. select zone item and mob collecting in the left section, start up eq.

zone into first collection zone. wait 20 - 30 mins. leave. zone to next target zone. wait 20-30 mins, etc etc.

Then when you are done, quit everquest.

select every log in the collector window. make sure to uncheck ALL checkboxes except for rename log. then process.

this will rename the logs with the zone names so you know which you want to keep and which were zones u just traveled through to get to your goal.

delete any non-needed logs. check create text dump. select logs u want dumps of and click process again.

you should be done now. just rename the logs to (yourname)-(zoneshortname)-(typeoflog).txt, zip each one up seperately and you are done.

by the way red i never got your logs again are you going to reupload those raid logs for us?

thanks

here's some shots of what you collected =)

[sandy]

about pathing
you need to understand that for pathing we need to collect complete patrols, so it can last 5 minute or 40 minutes depends which mob in which zone, but it seems 30 minutes is for most zones enough

you need to understand too that when a mob is aggroed by someone and this player for example zone, we have no way to find if the mob was aggroed or if he was roaming
it's why if you are alone in the zone it is ideal
but for certain zones it is almost impossible, like xp zones for example where there is always at least one group
so at least ensure that when you leave the zone, all monsters killed by the group have at least respawn 1 time, and ensure they are not fighting, in that way you'll have a good pathing log even if there was people fighting there

[sotonin]

Sorry there was some downtime today with the webserver.

Seems the nic card crapped out, they replaced it with a new intel card and it appears to be working great.

Sandy, you can use my rogue if you want, he not time flagged but he's elemental

email me at clarion802@aol.com because I probably wont be checking this forum any time soon

Soto,
