Missing Mob Information From Data Logs
« on: July 15, 2014, 06:46:03 am »
I’ve been trying to construct a set of data collection tools for the new changes that will exist after the update comes. In doing I have found that there’s a valuable piece of data that’s missing from the game’s action log’s for hunting. The problem is that none of the logs record the name and maturity of the mob that’s been hunted. You only find out the creature info currently if it kills you.

A possible solution would be to display a message in the global chat log that displays this information when the creature agro’s the player. Another possibility may be to use the global message already in place and make it so that instead of displaying what mob has killed you, have the same message display with what you killed.

Not sure if this has been raised in the past but hope this can be easily implemented  as currently a player has to manually mark down the time and creature then enter that data manually which causes more inaccuracy.

Totally agreed. Looking through the logs after the fact it's hard to know what mob you killed, which means it's hard to know which mob dropped which loot and did so much damage and so on.

At the very least it'd be great if the message that tells us what loot we gained included what mob it was gained from.

  • You killed a Wolf Mature
  • Looted Animal tendon, Weight: 0.099 kg
  • Looted Wolf fang, Quantity: 1

At best would be the mob's name and maturity at the end of every mob-connected message.

  • You got 3.5 point of damage (Cut + Stab) into torso by Wolf Mature
  • You did 63.2 points of damage to Wolf Mature
  • Looted Animal tendon, Weight: 0.099 kg from Wolf Mature
