Tools

  • Import Map Detection Settings: You can use this button to import the latest CombatMapDetectionSettings.json file from STOCombatAnalyzer.Settings repo.
  • Reset Map Detection Settings: If you manually imported a newer version of the CombatMapDetectionSettings.json file, you can use this button to revert back to the application default.
    • Note: The application default typically gets updated with each new release, with the latest CombatMapDetectionSettings.json file from STOCombatAnalyzer.Settings repo.
  • Export Selected Combat: This button is used to export and JSON representation of a combat instance. This is primarily for troubleshooting purposes.

Settings

  • CombatLogPath: Set this to match the STO log folder on your local machine.
    • If you click the select button, a folder select dialog will appear to help you select a folder.
    • If you click the detect button, the application will attempt to get the STO install folder from the windows registry. A dialog box will appear to let you know if it was succesfull, and will update the field with the STO log folder if it was.
  • CombatLogPathFilePattern: Set a file pattern used to select one or more combat log files.
    • This search pattern supports wildcards so more then one file can be selected.
  • (Optional) MyCharacter: An identifier used to select a player when a new combat instance is chosen.
    • This comes in handy when browsing through multiple combat instances via the Combat List dropdown. For example, I have mine set to @zxeltor so it will pick all of my characters, intead of specific character.
  • (Optional) HowFarBackForCombat: How far back in hours to pull combat log data.
  • (Optional) PurgeCombatLogs: Enable combat log folder purge at application startup.
    • Note: If only one combat log exists, it won't be purged regardless of how old it is.
  • (Optional) HowLongToKeepLogs: How long to keep logs in days, before they are purged.
  • (Optional) DebugLogging: Enables debug logging. This also enables/disables a few information dialogs in the UI.
    • Open Log File: This button attempts to open the log file for the application in your default text file viewer/editor.
