Why won't it work while I'm actively logging? Currently Xalp is an offline parser. In fact trying to run it on a log file that's being written to will periodically cause errors due to the max bounds of the progress bar I stuck in there to display parse duration. I'll fix this shortly. Why aren't any of my DD's showing up? I know I casted some! You have to put your name in the box before parsing, or it doesn't know who to attribute the damage to since nukes show up as 'Xislaben hit soandso for 300 points of non-melee damage' typically. If you did put your name in, spelled right and everything, and they're still missing, then send me the log cause that shouldn't happen. Why isn't my regular pet showing up in the detail tab? You didn't catch it in the log, your pet telling you it's holding or attacking or something that is. It looks for phrases like "says 'Following you, Master.", "says 'Waiting for your order to attack, Master.", or "tells you, 'Attacking". Why is a pet showing up that wasnt mine? Well, I go through the whole log and get valid pet names, but if your pet died 3 years ago and the name was reused by a more recent toon who you are also parsing, it'll count it. It's not impossible, though I'd hope it would be rare. Unfortunately I'm not sure of a better way of determining who's pet is whose without some silliness and excessive work I'm not really interested in doing. Why do the CoA or CP or Intensity counters go on and on when I know they don't last nearly that long? The application looks at the phrases you see when the effect takes affect and when it fades off or you die. If a terminating phrase if left out of the log for some reason it will never go off. So if you turn off the log while you have the buff and turn it back on after it's worn off, it'll make for some funny information. Don't do that. Why are all the crits #'s 0? Crits are enabled now, but you may have bad data in the db for spell values, or maybe a new expansion came out or the spell name is spelled wrong in the db etc etc. Why are all the casts/fizzles/interupts #'s 0? Well, you need to be parsing spell casts and those rthings in order for me to see them. Can you add XYZ to it? Let me know what XYZ is and I'd be happy to put it in if possible. It crashes or gives me some error when I try to parse a log file, now what? Send me the log file, and I'll feed it to the angry gnomes and they'll tell me whats wrong so I can fix it.
