Got to say that when finished this will be a great program but atm all the missing features make it painful.

Mud, did you set the window with all the channels in hide, with LOGGING on? And also, did you look for the log path? If it doesn't work, I got it to work and will try to help you if I see you online :)

You can post mD results also in any channel :wink: (Just make sure you're not talking to Clan OOC or something when giving the results ^^)

after serious usage of both AOParser and Magic Dump, here is my quick review.

Summary: Magic Dump wins hands-down for 1 or 2 teams and solo activity. AOParser wins in large raids and when you want to have something up and stable all the time. Both have their place, but for the casual user I'd say Magic Dump is the overall winner. Either will work just fine.


AOParser:

:) Low resource usage (ie, consumes less CPU/etc)

:) :) Allows you to see an entire raid's statistics in order (not just individuals from the raid)

:( Minimal reporting functionality

:) Allows cut-and-paste of statistics (making up for some of the missing reporting funcionality and allowing you to report things that Magic Dump can't, like the bottom-10 DDs of a raid, etc).

:( Does NOT automatically determine which pet belongs to which owner ... to to group dmg the simplest way, the owner must name the pets after themselves (but does allow you to manually configure this if the pet doesn't have the owners name)

:) Allows manual grouping (the same way you assign a pet to an owner manually) via drag and drop, allowing for instance the ability to put all people in a team under 1 of the team members so that you can monitor whether team 1 is going to OD team 2 (very handy for key raids, etc, where damage rights are paramount).

:) Doesn't halt/crash on large raids

:) :) VERY VERY stable

:( Apparently hard to configure for some people

:( older versions may not work on some peoples' systems due to library incompatibilities

:) To me it has a less "obtrusive" display ... it doesn't call my attention to it as often as Magic Dump



Magic Dump:

:) :) :) MUCH MUCH nicer reporting functionality. Not just for the team, but if you select a person in the list of people monitored, you can produce individual stats for that one person (or yourself)

:( :( Tends to freeze/halt reporting in large raids (30-40 or more people)

:( Tends to crash when you try to forcibly close it after its halted with spammy error windows

:( Very "busy" UI, distracting

:) Lots of good info in that UI without having to drill down into the stats like with AOParser

:) Automatically assigns pets to owners based on the pets chat channel ("Chrisax's Pet: The Rihwen" lets it know Rihwen's dmg belongs to Chrisax ... as long as there aren't more than 1 Rihwen's ... if there are I'm not yet sure what it does).

:? Allows -reporting- of all individuals in a raid, but does not show you the whole raid at a glance ... you only see the top 10 people ranked in order and can't filter out or reverse the rankings.

:) :) Has a LOT of non-Damge Dumper features like tracking loot, seeing who has aggro, WARNING if you have aggro, being able to monitor for chat statements and fire off keypresses when it finds them (sort of like Chat Alert and others) ... some really impressive stuff.

:) Somewhat more configurable on when to write up the reporting scripts, so can cause less disk-writing resource usage.
