Everquest Spell Parser

This project was created to help decode the EQ spell file and provide detailed information on spell, discipline and AA effects beyond what is shown in the game.

e.g. what the game shows for "Guardian of the Forest":

This ability transforms you into an exceptionally bloodthirsty wolf that attacks
with lightning speed, for a brief time. Additional ranks increase your offensive
capabilities and cause the transition into the wolf to heal many of your wounds.

Compare this with the parser description for the same spell:

[16038] Guardian of the Forest
Classes: RNG/254
Skill: Melee
Target: Self
Resist: Beneficial, Blockable: Yes
Casting: 0s
Duration: 60s (10 ticks), Extendable: Yes, Dispelable: Yes
2: Cast: Guardian of the Forest Effect
4: Increase Melee Haste v3 by 25%
7: Increase Current HP by 775 per tick
8: Increase ATK by 228
9: Increase Hit Damage by 42%
Text: The power of the forest surges through your muscles.

Web Version

The easiest way to use the parser is via the web version here:

https://www.raidloot.com/spells

Windows Version

If you want to parse historical, test or beta server spell data you will need to download the parser and run it on your own computer.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/raidloot/parser.zip

The download file contains winparser.exe which can open up spell files to be parsed on your own computer.

The first time you run the parser will you get a "Windows protected your PC" alert. This is called SmartScreen and protects your PC from running programs from unrecognized publishers - which is what I am. If you want to run the parser you will need to click the "More Info" link on the popup and then "Run anyway".

You will also need to have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 installed to run the parser. This is a windows add-on that you may be missing if you have an older version of windows. If you run the parser and it doesn't work for you, download the required windows update from here:

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-web-installer

Data Version

A mostly up to date CSV file can be found here:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/raidloot/spells.csv.gz

To generate this file yourself, you will need to run the command-line version of the parser:

parser update
parser all csv > spells.csv

How To Help

You can help improve this parser even if you're not a programmer.

This parser is an attempt to gather the collected knowledge of players into a formal set of rules. If you discover spell descriptions that you think are incorrect or incomplete please send me an email at [email protected].

eqspellparser's Issues

Max heal+overheal

Hello,

Would it be possible to have an extra column on the healing summary and breakdown with the potential max heal (max heal+overheal)?

I think it would help to check actual spellpower.

Potential heals per second would be good too. It would be cool to check it for comparing single target healing power.

Thanks

Beta / Test not showing

Hey I downloaded the parser.zip.

I changed winparser.config to:

I'm not seeing the test or beta buttons however to download and use that spell data.

Thanks.

Index out of bounds error

Crash as soon as I try to load any spells_us, live or otherwise. Is there any easy fix for this by chance? Tried compatibility modes and whatnot but no luck :(

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
