DPS meter and/or Hate Meter

[AvarVren]

So I have recently returned to VG and am getting into the endgame. I want to improve my dps while not pulling aggro off tank (duh) but there dont seem to be any tools to help out in this regard as compared to other MMO addons. Is there an in game damage meter that you can post to chat? Also is there an in game hate meter that shows you how close you are to overtaking the tank in hate?

Thanks!

As far as I know this is not possible in VG, about the only thing you'll find are the parsers like Xanadu

This is, kind of, possible. Can I do it? Personally, no. I don't have the tools - but here is a way you could do this. Sort of

Parsing program: ACT - http://advancedcombattracker.com/

ACT has the ability to parse multiple games via plugins, and a plugin can theoretically be created for any game if it has logs.

Here is the post on plugin creation: http://www.eq2flames.com/plugin-disc...her-games.html

It wouldn't be like, say, a World of Warcraft DPS meter, where its natively updated in a game window. But ACT does have an overlay if you play windowed, and also has an option to save to HTML files. Plus, it exports the data to the clipboard so its paste-able ingame.

You could have a setup where you're running something like XAMPP on your PC, behind the game, and have ACT saving it to somewhere in the HTDOC's folder.

You could then use the ingame browser to bring up the ingame browser redirected to that localhost address.
