RoRClC - a combat log converter for RoR

[DonCarlos]

This functionality has been converted to an Addon that works with the game API. Staff would strongly recommend using Addons instead of external programs to interface with the game.

RoRClC - a combat log converter for RoR
I wrote this little programm for easier evaluation of combat logs and I would like to share it with the community.
There may be a handfull of persons that may find it usefull.

RoRClC is a program to convert combat.log-files into ".csv"-format for easier processing with other tools (like databases or spreadsheets).
It is a small command line Python script that takes a combat.log as an input, does some filtering and harmonizing and
writes a ".csv"-file as output.

Restrictions:
It is only usable with english log-files!

Installation:
It is provided in two forms:
* the source code / a python script: rorclc.py that could be executed with a Python 2.7 interpreter
* an ".exe"-file which is the python script combined with some runtime files generated by the Python package PyInstaller for easier excecution by people not using Python.

Download and extract the zip-file
Download-Link: https://www.magentacloud.de/share/t.a1jy68u0

Using:
* Copy the combat.log-file under inspection to the rorclc installation folder
* Open a cmd line interpreter there and execute rorclc.exe.
Example:
* rorclc.exe -i waiola_combat.log
This will generate the following ouput:
* Input file is " waiola_combat.log "
* Output file is " waiola_combat.log.csv "
* processed 134413 lines in [sec]: 5.34400010109
and will generate the output file " waiola_combat.log.csv " in the same directory.

Tutorial:
Also included are two example spreadsheets with some basic evaluations (one in excel-format, one in LibreOffice-format).
Tutorial.pdf contains a brief documentation about how some of those reports are made.

First of all, thanks for making this. The community can do great things with this tool.

I noticed in the tutorial pdf you recommend using in game global logging setting to produce the logs. This is very inconvenient and inefficient as the game starts to log a lot more than just combat. To solve this I created an addon that allows you to save sections of the combat log on demand.

You can find the addon here: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=18719#p203646

@wargrimnir My addon is meant to supplement this tool, not replace it. It doesn't mirror the functionality of the python script, it simply makes it easier to generate logs for further processing.
