Interface Layout

When you click the Parse Log(s) Parse Log(s) button, the application goes to the STO combat log folder and parses all available combat logs. The log entries are then organized into combat instances, which populates the Combat List dropdown list.

Combat List

When you select a combat instance from the Combat List, the Combat Details section is populated with information on the selected combat instance. Each combat instance has a list of events, which is broken down into Player and Non-Player entities.

Combat Details

When you select a Player or Non-Player entity, the rest of the UI updates with information concerning the damage the selected entity did during for the currently selected combat instance.

Event Type Breakdown

This bar chart gives you a breakdown of damage types the Player or Non-Player entity did. If you select the Pets Only checkbox, the bar chart will switch to displaying a breakdown of damage types used by the Player or Non-Player entity pets.

When you click on one of the bars, the Event(s): DataGrid and Events: Magnitude Plot update with data for the selected damage type.

Event(s) DataGrid

This data grid displays the raw data from the STO combat logs related to the currently selected Player or Non-Player damage type. If you select an entry in the grid, it will highlight a marker in Events: Magnitude Plot.

Notes:

  • This DataGrid lists actual data from the STO combat logs.
  • By default, not all of the fields from the log displayed. If you right-click on the grid, a context menu will appear, and you can enable/disable any of available fields from the STO combat logs.

Event(s) Magnitude Plot

This scatter plot displays the currently selected Player or Non-Player damage type over time. When you select a marker on the scatter plot, it will highlight an entry in the data grid (circled in yellow).

If you select another damage type from the filter dropdown, the scatter plot and Event(s): DataGrid, will switch to displaying data for that damage type.

Notes:

  • By default the scatter plot only displays the Magnitude field from the STO combat logs.
  • You can display/overlay the MagnitudeBase field from the STO combat logs by selecting the MagnitudeBase checkbox.
