Since GU44 ACT only shows my own damage in parse. This is with the german version of EQ2 and is confirmed by many fellow players who encounter the same problem. ACT is manually updated to the latest version.

Confirmed with both versions 185 and 186 with Language=German.

It is caused by a change SoE obviously did with LU44 related with the logging of the damage.
The following is an original pre-LU44 log line from a german log:

Code:

(1205093369)[Sun Mar 09 21:09:29 2008] xxx Effekt "Schlag" trifft Zylphax den Fetzer für: 707 mental-Schaden.

Post-LU44 it would be (don't have an original Post-LU44-log currently, so this is from memory):

Code:

(1205093369)[Sun Mar 09 21:09:29 2008] xxx Effekt "Schlag" trifft Zylphax den Fetzer mit: 707 mental-Schaden.

Difference is that "für" got replaced with "mit".
Exception is your own damage, where it is still a "für", that's why your own damage still gets parsed correctly:

Code:

(1205093370)[Sun Mar 09 21:09:30 2008] EUER Effekt "Scheiterhaufen des Krieges" trifft Zylphax der Fetzer für: 448 Krankheit-Schaden.

Can confirm that.

@Aditu: Should be fixable by replacing "mit" with [mf][iü][tr] in FormActMain.PopulateRegExArr. (i used that syntax instead of (mit|für) in order to not create a new group which would result in new group/backreference counters).

Did a quick test for an old and a new log log and parses seem fine (but as i don't really know how you are parsing the files there might be other places to fix).

Wouldn't (?:mit|für) work as well for not creating a backreference instead of [mf][iü][tr], which matches müt and fir as well (even though I admit that these combinations would be nonsense)?

Dunno, i never really understood regex I just recognized that (mit|für) gave me a parsing exception and [mf][iü][tr] was the only syntax i could come up with (due to my limited kknowledge of regex)
But i am sure Aditu will know how fix it

Hmm, if the German version of GU44 is anything like the English version of GU44, there should be a few more things to fix than just that.

On English servers they added special attacks to the log lines... such as double attacks, aoe attacks, flurry attacks. This made those lines unparsable due to the variable labels. It is likely that the change from "für" to "mit" is to accommodate "better" grammar with these special attacks embedded. Though those look like non-autoattack swings, and most of the changes happened to those.

Someone emailed me a log file that I will go through later in order to catch all of the changes. I'd be surprised if that was the only change... if it was, more will be coming soon.

I'd wish, the German log still doesn't even contain critical melee hits...

@Tharabas

Your sig somewhat bothered me for a while, so I decided to look at it more closely. I don't mean the tiny text... the regular expression... is that a play on "To be or not to be..."?

indeed, it is

Misses of "Stichwaffen" (piercing) are displayed as "Aufspießen" ... results in a 100% hitrate for piercing atm (though the misses count as "Aufspießen")

Currently ACT switches the types from Stichwaffene and Aufspießen. I guess that the translators got rid of the trailing 'e'. Not really hard to fix as it luckily seems global.
