Hi, I'm the developer of ARM (Aion RainMeter), the only working dps meter for this server (I support it specifically in my app, not as a generic private server). I noticed the server is not processing some of the combat log variables included in the cryengine libraries, for example, using a sorc dot on dummies:
Initial cast includes the player name:
then each tick says "Caster" instead of the player name, this is the same that happens in retail for the new Painter class with aoe "dots", and also happens when you put a dot and logout while the dot is still active, subsequent hits will display as "Caster" when it cannot be identified.
Now, I'm not sure if this is an old client limitation or the server not processing certain variables. My app has been working since ~2011 but I've only begun using the variables recently, so it could be a case that only newer clients support this, but I've seen other servers with a similar issue, i.e NotAion does not process most of the variables related to healing skills.
This combat log is processed by the client by taking the "strings" from client_strings_msg.xml inside the data.pak for each client language, like:
Would it be possible to process these variables and log messages in the server to receive the correct data? Users have reported also Godstones are not being registered, it's a similar issue.
List of variables:
there are a few more but they aren't important
then these messages:
