[SamwiseRed]

can i have access?

[Juhstin]

Nope. Only Elderan gets access.

[Fame]

This is bullshit, why is boxing allowed when its only purpose is to taunt the opposition? IDGAF about points, I loved looking up old shit in the ooc logs. Giev access

[Gaffin 7.0]

elderan can u give me savor kd ratio in pm pls

[Twainz]

Just wait nerds. Elderan is working on something big. Trust him as you trust the GMs.

[freez]

just glad he only has control over something so meaningless


can you say corrupt? lol

[LostCause]

need that KD ratio on a 100 man server aww yiss

[Vile]

You could easily make one, you just need a box in game 24/7 with logs turned on and a script (cron job) that parses the log and uploads the parsed info to database... viola!

Why is Elderan allowed to box anyways if he isn't sharing Leaderboard?

[Colgate]

i wish i got special treatment on this server like nihilum does

[Vile]

Knowing him he prob has a separate dedicated IP just for that bot.. the dude bought Nizzar a new computer.. I am sure he could afford another internet connection :)

wut language do i use if i wanted to upload it to some shitty free website service?

[SamwiseRed]

oh wait i would need a database? naw i cant even get eq emu to run, sounds over my head.

Get a $5/month HostGator set up..

MySQL for database.. your script to upload the data could be written in many languages..

Then you would need some HTML/CSS, maybe some jQuery for sexiness and PHP to query the data the way you want.

If you can get a box logging 24/7 I'll host everything and code it for you.

Only issue I am seeing is the delay in getting the logs parsed to the DB. Unless the site is hosted on the same box as the toon with /log turned on it wouldn't be as real time as you would probably like. I'll think about this issue if you can get a toon logging 24/7..

[Vile]

Virgin. Obese. Ronery. Neglectful dad. Disabled. Unemployed. Wife left.

Need at very least 3 of above as requirement to create leaderboard.

I don't meet any of these requirements :confused:

Can you decide where the EQ log file goes? Never really messed with logs in EQ too much, but if we can just set up a simple file server on the box with the logging toon, I could easily write a script that could update data every 5 minutes or so... ;)

[krazyGlue]

elderan runs 5 boxes all runing logs . and are in game at most citys. thats how he keeps the updates doing

[Vile]

See forum name

hehehe

Sam, remember to remove your leader board when your guild starts abusing PnP

One of the reasons I removed it was to promote PNP dummy.

People were being stupid across all guilds over it to just get points. I am not a big fan of pointless pvp and people griefing others and I wanted to be no part of it.

So I removed public access. I still think it is useful when morons don't have access to it though. I give access on a case by case basis.

If you still have permission to leave multiple boxes in from GMs it should not be a private tool for you. It should be open to everyone to view.

It was also really useful to read the OOC auctions for the past day or so looking for items.

They monitor auction in EC on blue without Elderan. Maybe ask them to hook you up.

It's the same idea. You need a box logging 24/7 and a script to parse/upload to a DB. Very simple.. if you have the box that can log 24/7.

GMs don't care it seems.

I think on blue they have people that even submit logs that are lost when the box is down.

[Twainz]

Also, who really cares if there are random lvl 1 alts afk. It doesn't change the game like boxing a porter/bard/buffer/rezzer does. I would love if we could box freely like Azrael, but we can't.

If you guys want I can easily build something that takes submitted logs.

Question... do the timestamps in the log reflect the server's time or client's time? If everything is based on server time it would be easily to avoid duplicate kill shots and auctions.

Only problem with user submitted logs is they're easy to fake and would be much more reliable if there was a dedicated toon logging.

On blue they can rely on user submitted logs because no one is going to waste time making a fake auction, whereas on Red, the urge to rustle jimmies could easily force someone to sprinkle in some fake YT..

I wouldn't worry about a board Vile. I was only talking about ooc for auctions. Pretty sure the boards will be back sometime soon. Elderan is working on making them better so people don't use it for a reason to grief.

[Mac Dretti]

Elderan isn't boxing

I would recommend Lite submit his logs to samwhite since lite has 3-4 clients logged in at any given time. Let's make it a live feed. Pras Azrael.

[Greegon]

havent seen samwise spotted in norrath in forever this should change

[vouss]

Twainz just ask your pal's Agatha and Jupe they will show you how to box

[Smedy]
