Reproduction

• Create a new character and login, producing a new log
• Reload the config, or restart eqalert.py
• Application crashes with brief trace

Example

Full trace encountered

As Text

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "eqalert.py", line 200, in <module>
    main()
  File "eqalert.py", line 64, in main
    chars = eqa_config.get_chars(config)

  File "/home/arch/project/eqalert/lib/eqa_config.py", line 62, in add_char
    chars.append(name.lower())
NameError: global name 'chars' is not defined

Expected

• Obviously expected a new chararcter log to be processed

The spoken tell messages set in the default cnofig are pretty fun, it does a great job of speaking each full line identified as tell outloud.

This can feel slow due to the xyz tells you, prefix.

This can feel annoying when receiving tells from multiple people at once.

Can I modify the tone/speed of the spoken message based off the senders username? This would be more interesting.

Populate settings tab

• character selection
• toggle raid mode
• toggle tbd optional parses (heal, damage, etc) in events tab

Step 1

• timer_q, process_timer
• /say command driven timers
• /say command driven metranomes
• Automatic respawn timers for zone default values
• restructure zones in config and add default timers

Step 2

• Import the spell file
• Build line matches for each spell output line

Step 3

• Spell timers

Step 4

• Display most recent timers in tab or pop-up

Currently characters and servers are stored seperately, while each character may have n servers and each server likely has n characters - these should be unified in the config under the filename or char/server combo.

Store damage events and render a dps meter

More settings!

Character selection seems to only actually change characters 30% of the time.

This is puzzling.

On the bright side you can eventually change your character to the one you want if you just keep changing selections and selecting.

The current implementation to read the active log file assumes the log is only written to at most every 0.001 seconds and is never written with more than one line at a time.

During high log traffic, lines are missed.

This is reproducable when receiving a tell with the speak alert set while sitting beside combat between many parties.

Either, pyinotify is not fast enough, the updates occur more frequently than every 0.001 seconds, or there is an unknown issue with the log file processor.

Players on EverQuest:
---------------------------
[ANONYMOUS] Foobar  <Guild>

Several who matches are missing. Players are matching fine, but anon tagged players are missed.

• Check filesize of ~/.eqa/log/undetermined.txt and ~/.eqa/log/eqalert.txt at startup
• Delete or truncate them

Replace 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with the actual spoken words they match to, or allow the value of sound to be any arbitrary string to be spoken.

• Keep settings at the top

• Add more interesting default alerts

The last part of this to survive the initial rewrite..

Prerequisite #12

• trie structure?
• dict structure?
• use regex?
• regex hash table of substring regex hash tables of linked lists?

I'm positive this cobbled if/else structure can be optimized by using a different data structure

This would be a doozy.. but, a tab with a map of the current zone and most recent loc would be cool. Both should be in the new state object

• Toggle server log files to parse 💚

This is no longer getting picked up and reaching undetermined.txt

Post rewrite character log switching isn't working, currently only the default character works

This is reaching undetermined:

[60 Oracle] Zudagg (Troll) <Kingdom> LFG

There is a silent crash in the process log thread which causes the parser to stop listening to the log

This tab should really just mirror and manipulate config.json

enter should select things, not right arrow. What was I thinking?

Rewrite lib/actions.py

• No more word arrays
• split into action group defs

Direction does not update in state following a sense heading command response

Split up the determine method in lib/parser.py by grouped line types, ordered by assumed frequency.

melee
spells
recieved messages
sent messages
command output
system messages
emotes
pets

Reloading the config seems to cause the program to exit without error in a bash shell using the terminator terminal emulator

Bootstrap:

Startup checks:

make eqa/lib/bootstrap.py

• track version in the config
• recreate and archive the current config if a version mismatch is found

Try one of these setup.py thingies

Sanitize the input

s

Use in-game /say to send parser commands, better for single monitor setups I think

/say parser debug on
/say parser debug off
/say parser raid on
/say parser raid off
/say parser mute
/say parser unmute
/say parser mute tell
/say parser unmute tell
/say parser mute tell [playername]
/say parser unmute tell [playername]

Maybe not everyone has bash? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The following test cases are falsly reporting as undetermined lines:

you forget ensnare.
your spell is interrupted.
you were hit by non-melee for 17 damage.
parser grabs hold of parsette and begins to dance with her.
it begins to rain.
it begins to snow.
<linkdead>[60 phantasmist] dagner (gnome) <tempest>
it will take you about 30 seconds to prepare your camp.
you abandon your preparations to camp.
you no longer have a target.
you no longer have a target.

Store heal events

Currently configs are just dismissed based on the value of version in it. It changes a lot less these days, and when it does it is just new line types.

Clean the upgrade path here, deleting or manually updating the config sucks.

• Script to bootsrtap new config (may accept input)
• .gitignore the config

When eqemu logs exist and a new config is generated, the default log user is not updated from Change to a real user.

The filler user Change should only be needed if no logs exist for said server

While a part of #55 is resolved, there is a more broad issue causing some alerts to process twice regardless of their type.

Potentially related to the use of pyinotify per #61

Remnants from an old heal and damage parsing implementation should be removeed ahead of v2

INFO:root:[2022-03-09_21:51:58]: set last state: Error on line 182: Extra data: line 615 column 6 (char 13512)

Sometimes either changing characters or zones to last_state after generating a new config.json adds extra json formatting characters.
