How turn on damage logs

Sorry, but I have forgotten, and I know that this was mentioned in a thread somewhere, but for the life of me I cannot remember what or where or how.
Grr.

I only have questions.

neocron.ini:

Code:

---

ENABLELOG = "TRUE"

This will cause an active log to be written named, yourcharname_00

This log will show valuable data regarding your movement speed ,resists and heals. Heals will be shown as negative dmg :

eg:

Local Player: Damage() - Damage processing statistics!
Damage: -49.225 Target Fulldamage HitZone 3 - Part 0
Results of this target: Damage -49.225 (Reduction: 0.000 - -0.000 Percentage) - ResistanceCap: 0.920!

Thus the heal was ticking at 49/tick



DMG taken will be logged as follows:

Initial dmg -> shield resist->armor resist->-con resist->total resist (with the resist % accumulating each time)

eg:

Local Player: Damage() - Damage processing statistics!
Damage: 40.910 Target Poison HitZone 3 - Part 0
Damage: 6.474 (Reduction: 34.436 - 84.175 Percentage) - Damage reduced by shield
Damage: 6.474 (Reduction: 34.436 - 84.175 Percentage) - Damage reduced by player armor
Damage: 4.880 (Reduction: 36.030 - 88.070 Percentage) - Damage reduced by player skills
Results of this target: Damage 4.880 (Reduction: 36.030 - 88.070 Percentage) - ResistanceCap: 0.920!

To understand this read as 40.9 initial dmg
Then 6.4 remaining dmg after an 84% shield (reducing dmg by 34)
Then 6.4 remaining dmg after no poison armor (accumulative resist of 84% is unchanged)
Then 4.8 remaining dmg after con (accumulative resist of 88%)
Then final dmg of 4.8.

Since the values given are accumulative, you wont usually see the exact % from armor/con displayed ,as its added to the total but you can calculate them by
looking at the new dmg vs the old dmg on the line above...eg 4.8 remained from 6.4 => 1.6 was reduced , so 1.6/6.4*100 = 25%

Thus my con setup con gave me 25% , and this brought my total % from 84% to 88%.

edit: bah Max beat me to it :p

I turned logging on but noticed that the game was nearly unplayable.
I did some tests and immediately commented out the damage line in the .ini file.
I started NC once more and I got the same effect.

The FPS is jumping from 22 to 78 to 45 to 89 in less than a second as I run through my apartment! The whole places judders by and I cannot look at the screen for more than a few seconds. Its very strange.

eDIT. I relogged and stood still inside the apartment. The FPS is continuously jumping between 32 and 55. Its crazy! Has anyone seen this afore?

Yeah same thing happened to me but it's only when getting shot.

solution was to reboot and start again. Also, I deleted all the log files that the setting created. Back to a constant 90fps when standing still. phew

nice info thanks

Is it in the ini file or is it an ini in the main folder?

Im not very computer oriented so please help me find it.

I need to turn it off because i get horrid fps (about 10-20), while before it was always +30

It's in the topmost Folder of Neocron. just next to the NeocronLauncher.exe

The logging is turned off by default. If you haven't turned it on by purpose you don't need to deactivate.

And tbh i think it was just coincidentally that his framerate dropped. Otherwise the fps should have been intantly back up after deactivating the logging again

I used to have the same effect as well.
Then mysteriously it disappeared.
I dont know how, I dont know what's changed or why, but for sure my PC remains the same. It used to go back when I was turning log to false, but someday somehow, it stopped...

Hi all !!

Is it normal that even after enabling the damage log in the mycharname00.log I can't see any information about the damages I got from firemobs I w as hunting ?!

Thanks in advance for your help !

Kalonji

I can't comment on if it works with mobs.

I am sure it works with pvp damage though so would think it should work, the damage just gets a little lost in the sea of how fast you are moving.

You tried a CTRL + F for Fire?

Ty Josh Cooper,

nah, didn't try the ctrl+f thing, gonna test now !

But I just noticed that I had dmg logs from some other firemobs like terrormauler, but not the mauler that killed me :/

Btw how can I read those logs ? I see nowhere the armor limiting dmg part, neither the resist part... Any tool to make some graphics with the dmg log file ? Or should I begin to code one ?!

If I have to code it I must understand how it works entirely !

Thanks for anyone that'll help :)
