 Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2006 8:42 pm Post subject: 1.3x uploads -vs 1.4x upload difference |
|
|
Apologize in advance for the length. Your software is a God send for us there is just some confusion on getting the 1.4x version to work like the 1.3x version.
Background:
We are using you tool to do the following in our raids.
1 -- track attendance
2 -- handle zero sum points
3 -- track the time people are in the raids and awarding points based on time in the raid.
1.3x upload result
With 1.3x
Events: A single event was created for each raid zone. Examples are
- Zone: AhnQiraj Temple
- Zone: Blackwing Lair
etc
Each event had a zero value. When a run was completed the total value for the night was equal to the total amount of points spent. That value is then spread across the raid intervals as expected and each interval is at the same weight. The intervals were then created and set to one of the Zone events with a note of the log number and time of the. Date of the run was put on the raid. After the fact we would add members to the raid that were there for "backup" status and backup out any point that they get from adding to the raid with individual adjustments. Thus allowing us to get accurate attendance values. Note: We do not use interval compression as that would mess up the attendance values.
Now what we get with 1.4x.
For each days raid we get the following.
1 -- A new event create with the date in the name. The event value is zero.
2 -- Intervals created for each time block in the raid connected to the evet with the date name. The comment is the time intervals.
3 -- An empty raid is created with each day that is upload that has all the member but no points. We hand delete this entry as it serves no purpose as far as we can tell.
Questions:
1 -- Is there anyway to get the 1.4x uploader to use the same zone names as the 1.3x uploaders. The 1.3 form only had a single event for each zone and you could easily tell what days you went to what zone etc. With the new form we can't do that. As well we end up with a ton of events that really serve no purpose that we can tell.
2 -- Is there anyway to stop getting the empty raid to upload as that does not seem to serve any purpose.
Attached is an export of my configuration. Thanks for any help.

I'm going to assume that you're using EQDKP plugin version v1.3.2a . It would also help if I could have a look at the actual list of EQDKP raids.

Do the reward intervals have a raid name set? The plugin should use the raid/zone name if there is one, it should only use the dat if there is none.

Does it contain any loot? Otherwise I'm not sure what it could be.

The only reason I can see is that raid/zone names are not set. If that's not it then there might be some bug.

Hard to say until the reason for the empty raid has been identified.

Sorry about the plugin. Yes using the 1.3.2a version. Just upgraded this week.
When you say you want to see the EQDKP raids do you want to look at the rp system? You can find that at http://ascend-lothar.com/eqdkp.
I will take a look at the raid names and see what I am missing there. I am using the modified CT_RaidTracker version 1.25.13 modded. What parse string setup should I use for that? I assume "World of Warcraft (CT RT oldformat 1).
The empty raid that get's created has no loot associated with it. It just has members and nothing else.

You might want to check the "use global raid names" checkbox if you have not already done so. CT RT only delivers one raid name, so checking that option will make it so that it is used for all reward intervals instead of just one.

I updated my config with that option and that fixes the raid name when it uploads to the server. The problem is the raid name is not getting parsed out of the raid data. I have to change the raid name manually to get the one I want.
Attached is a sample raid export from CTRaid Tracker.
Here is how the model is supposed to work, well what I am trying to get to work 
Intervals are 1 hour long. It take 1/2 hour to create a new interval. Members get credit for an interval if they are there for 1/2 the time.
For these specific items I have
1 -- Default Reward Interval Padding == 1800
2 -- Reward Interval Size(minutes) == 60
3 -- Minimum durcation for the additional interval(minutes) == 30
4 -- Padding for the additional interval(seconds) == 1800
No clear on 1 and 4. I assume on of those is for the member time extions for the start / leave times to make sure they get credit for the raid.
Here are the problems with this raid that I haven't been able to fixe yet.
1 -- Raid Name is not being parsed from the CTRaid Tracker export. Pattern used is World of Warcraft( CT RT oldformat 1). Nothing else says new format so ....
2 -- Note field no longer has Log 1 - 2 prefixed in front of the times.
3 -- A 4th interval is not added. The 1st interval is at 20:26 - 21:26. The raid is closed at 00:09. This should result in a fourth interval for the raid as 00:09 is > 30 minutes after 23:26 which is the end of the 3rd interval.
4 -- Uploading the raid gives 4 raid entries. 3 raids are for the 3 intervals. The 4 the raid entry has no loot assigned to it and does not seem to have a purpose.

This appears to be because of an incorrect pattern. I have filed it as defect DLPC39. A workaround is to set zone pattern to
| Code: |
| RaidInfo:zone<(.+)>start<(\d{2})/(\d{2})/(\d{2}) (\d{2})#:(\d{2})#:(\d{2}) |
and the zone format to
.

That is no longer done by default I'm afraid. It's possible, but requires modifications of the plugin.

Seems like you have found another bug, it has been filed as defect DLPC40.

Confirmed, I will investigate this one further.
Patch 1.4.0c should be released later today containing the fixes to the two bugs that you have found along with a few others, thanks for reporting them.

It was a bug in the plugin, I have filed it as defect EDSI2. A new plugin version should be released later today. I'm surprised that no one has reported it before now, as it has been in circulation since 1.3.2 and must have been very annoying.

Client version 1.4.0c and plugin version 1.3.2b have been released, they should hopefully work better.

Excellent I'll try to get these downloaded and use on our latest raids.
Also seeing something where it doesn't seem to be picking up the 1/2 hour buffer for raid credit. Will post something if I can't figure it out.
Thanks for the quick turn around and replies.
In case it isn't clear. Your sofware is a GOD SEND to my guild and I am VERY pleased with your product. Thank you for your time and effort.

Worked very well.
All time frames loaded correctly. Appeared to handle the 1/2 hour in zone to get credit for the full hour. Loaded without the blank raid.
The only issue is I had to manually load in your parse string as the correct one did not come over with the update. I had been changing the parse string to 1.3x version etc so that may have kept the update from coming over. Beyond that looks great thanks again for the great work.
