Log Parsing for Drops
Hi! I saw your addition to A Grizzly Bear, which is great. You mention parsing logs of kills to get these percentages? Can you say a bit more about that?
Did you write a little program to do this, or is it more manual? It would be great to add another custom feature to the wiki, like the AuctionTracker, that accepted log file uploads from players and started compiling accurate drop statistics for p1999. Since, as you for sure noticed, these percentages/rarities are currently from the stock EQEmu DB and Nilbog and co. have certainly tweaked them.
Anyways, just thought that if you had already done this part of the job I could work on the wiki side. But, I wasn't sure how just parsing logs could tell you this for sure (if you saw the death of a mob, how would you know that the player even looted it, or looted all the items, given that only looted items would show up in the log?) --Ravhin 18:14, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
