Time format

The time format is used whenever a time (during a day) should be displayed. The formats are defined by the SimpleDateFormat class and can contain hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.

Day format

The day format is used whenever a day (year, month and day of month) should be displayed. The formats are defined by the SimpleDateFormat class.

Default reward interval note format

The default reward interval note format is used whenever a reward interval should display a note on the server and no other note format has been specified. For example the format decides how the note field should look in EQDKP. The format may contain three special variables. Each occurrence of each variable is replaced by the corresponding information.

$1
The start time of the reward interval (formatted according to the time format).
$2
The end time of the reward interval (formatted according to the time format).
$3
The zone/raid name associated with the reward interval.

Each variable may be used as many times as desired (including zero times).

Examples

Here are some examples followed by the note generated for a reward interval that starts at 20:00, ends at 20:21 and is assigned the raid name of "Foo". The examples assume that the time format is H:mm.

$1 to $2: $3
20:00 to 20:21: Foo
We raided $3 during $1 - $2 GMT
We raided Foo during 20:00 - 20:21 GMT
Raided $3
Raided Foo

Default event note format

The default event note format is used whenever an event should displayed a note on the server and no other note format has been specified. For example the format decides how the note field should look in EQDKP. The format may contain two special variables. Each occurrence of each variable is replaced by the corresponding information.

$1
The time of the event (formatted according to the time format).
$2
The name of the event.

Each variable may be used as many times as desired (including zero times).

Examples

Here are some examples followed by the note generated for an event that occurred at 20:00 and was assigned the name "Foo". The examples assume that the time format is H:mm.

$1 GMT: $2
20:00 GMT: Foo
Award for attending $2
Award for attending Foo

Number of decimal digits

The number of decimal digits that should be used to represent DKP values around in DKP Log Parser. This is be default set to 2 but there's nothing stopping one from using 5 decimals to represent DKP.

Check for new versions on startup

Checking check for new versions on startup checkbox makes it so that the program checks for new version whenever the DKP Log Parser client is started. The process is started in the background and if there is no new version the it wont be noticed. If there is a new version then a message box pops up to inform the user.

Use global raid names

Checking the use global raid names checkbox makes it so that only one raid/zone name is used for all reward intervals. If one sets the raid name, via for instance the reward interval interface then the same raid name is automatically used for all reward intervals. This is useful when one really only wants one name, or when one normally have to enter a lot of raid names manually, in which case this saves a lot of work.

Array value delimiter

The array value delimiter is the character used to separate lists of values. This affects many things in the program, primarily the lists of weightings per interval, but also the set of member ranks allowed to accrue DKP.
