Scoreboard V1.0

Author: Suji
Version: 1.02
Addon to show alliance DPS and damage in real time.
Abbreviation: //sb

This addon allows players to see their DPS live while fighting enemies. Party
and alliance member DPS is also dispalyed. In addition to DPS, each player's
total damage and their percent contribution is also displayed.

Notable features:
* Live DPS
* You can still parse damage even if you enable chat filters.
* Ability to filter only the mobs you want to see damage for.
* 'Report' command for reporting damage back to where you like.

DPS accumulation is active whenever anyone in your alliance is currently
in battle.

All in-game commands are prefixed with "//sb" or "//scoreboard", for
example: "//sb help".

Command list:
* HELP
Displays the help text

* POS <x> <y>
Positions the scoreboard to the given coordinates

* RESET
Resets all the data that's been tracked so far.

* REPORT [<target>]
Reports the damage. With no argument, it will go to whatever you have
your current chatmode set to. You may also pass the standard FFXI chat
abbreviations as arguments. Support arguments are 's', 't', 'p', 'l'.
If you pass 't' (for tell), you must also pass a player name to send
the tell to. Examples:
//sb report Reports to current chatmode
//sb report l Reports to your linkshell
//sb report t suji Reports in tell to Suji

* REPORTSTAT <stat> [<playerName>] [<target>]
RS <stat> [<playerName>] [<target>]
Reports the given stat. Supported stats are:
acc, racc, crit, rcrit, wsavg

'playerName' may be the name of a player if you wish to see only one player.

For 'target', with no argument, it will go to whatever you have
your current chatmode set to. You may also pass the standard FFXI chat
abbreviations as arguments. Support arguments are 's', 't', 'p', 'l'.
If you pass 't' (for tell), you must also pass a player name to send
the tell to.

Examples:
//sb reportstat acc -- Sends acc report your default chatmode
//sb rs crit -- Same as above
//sb rs crit p -- Explicitly to party
//sb rs acc tell suji -- Sends acc to Suji
//sb rs acc t suji -- Same as above
//sb rs acc tulia t suji -- Report accuracy for Tulia only and send it in tell to Suji

* FILTER
This takes one of three sub-commands.
* FILTER SHOW
Shows the current mob filters.

* FILTER ADD <mob1> <mob2> ...
Adds mob(s) to the filters. These can all be substrings. Legal Lua
patterns are also allowed.

* FILTER CLEAR
Clears all mobs from the filter.

* VISIBLE
Toggles the visibility of the scoreboard. Data will continue to
accumulate even while it is hidden.

* STAT <statname> [<player>]
View specific parser stats. This will respect the current filter settings.
Valid stats are: acc, racc, crit, rcrit
Examples:
//sb stat acc Shows accuracy for everyone
//sb stat crit Flippant Only show crit rate for Flippant

The settings file, located in addons/scoreboard/data/settings.xml, contains
additional configuration options:
* posX - x coordinate for position
* posY - y coordinate for position
* numPlayers - The maximum number of players to display damage for
* bgTransparency - Transparency level for the background. 0-255 range
* font - The font for the Scoreboard. This defaults to Courier but it
it may be changed to one of the following fonts:
Fixedsys, Lucida Console, Courier, Courier New, MS Mincho,
Consolas, Dejavu Sans Mono.
* fontsize - Size of Scoreboard's font
* sbcolor - Color of scoreboard's chat log output
* showallidps - Set to true to display the alliance DPS, false otherwise.
* resetfilters - Set to true if you want filters reset when you "//sb reset", false otherwise.

Caveats:
* DPS is an approximation, although I tested it manually and found it to
be very accurate. Because DPS accumulation is based on the game's notion
of when you are in battle, if someone else engages before you, your DPS
will suffer. Try to engage fast to get a better approximation.

* The methods used in here cause some discrepancies with the data reported
by KParser. In some cases, Scoreboard will report more damage, which
generally indicates that KParser is not including something (ie, Scoreboard
will be more accurate). However, there are cases where KParser is reporting
damage that Scoreboard is not, and I'm currently focused on resolving this
issue in particular.

* This addon is still in development. Please report any issues or feedback to
to me (Suji on Phoenix) on FFXIAH or Guildwork.

Thanks to Flippant for all of the helpful feedback and comments and to Zumi
for encouraging me to write this in the first place.

Any way to get it so that the ACC% could be shown in the main DPS text box?

Love this add-on by the way.

any plans to add something like a ws frequency tracker or somesuch? only thing I really miss from kparser when it comes to parsing out my performance vs. others. Also, how hard would it be to add "opposite" filters? Like, if I put in "Volatile Matamata" it'd ignore him but show everything else? If not too annoying could that be a feature? O:

Im in the habit of viewing an acc report for myself after every WS - it would be cool if i could tell where i was in the overall parse via the same method - but this would require a ranking number included in SB (report) if possible

I norm turn visibility off on SB now as i find it distracts me

//sb rs wsavg keeps giving me an error... says must pass stat specifier.. Valid arguments acc racc crit rcrit

Not sure if requested before but a detailed view on melee attack and crit and WS DMG feature lined out in some sort of table in the chatlog would be lovely :)

As for WS frequency, I'm already tracking a bunch of stats that I just haven't provided a way to view. They will all be available sooner or later now that I have a little framework for reporting stuff!

Well, for now you can just send the report to yourself in a tell, like //sb report tell izilder

But related to that, a friend of mine suggested a pretty cool idea where when SB is hidden, you could optionally have an Attainment-style "SB Lite" type of thing somewhere at the bottom of the screen with a few key pieces of data that you may be interested in, so that might address your overall issue in a nicer way.

To extend on this a bit, I don't suppose you might be considering adding the functionality to filter for specific Weaponskills from a player? =D I realize that when I check my wsavg, it's skewed due to the fact I have to alternate Mystic Boon and Realmrazer. It would great if you can consider the idea to filter for specific wS' as well =D

Also, would it be possible to filter a specific player's main hand and off hand hits? Because of the way the new combat skill works, the two hands can now have some dramatically different ACC ratings X-x

Thanks for the good work! I love using this program ^_^

wsavg gives an error display.lua:351 attempt to find ?

Thanks for the suggestion!
