This release primarily affects where buff data is pulled from when parsing in network mode. Previously it was pulled from game memory, but now it is retrieved from the network packets directly. This should provide more accurate time synchronization when calculating damage effects and DoT tick amounts.
Other changes include:
- Added some memory reading features to assist with WitcherMog's new overlay add-on.
- Modified log writing routines to replace NULL characters with spaces.
- Implemented correct potency for Death Blossom with / without the enhanced trait.
- Modified the DoT tick count for Scourge with / without the enhanced trait.
- Fixed the DoT crit bonus damage amount to correctly snapshot crit buffs at the time of application. Previously it was trying to calculate based on active buffs using the buff timestamp, which could occasionally be problematic.
I'm going to work next on a change to network parsing to optionally retrieve data using the WinPCap network packet capture driver. This may allow people having problems with network parsing mode to get it working. However, it will of course require downloading and installing the free WinPCap driver separately from the FFXIV Plugin.
As I've stated before, the memory parsing mode will miss some combat data, and should not be used except as a last resort. In particular, Wildfire is a problem.
