Easy Stalking - Encounterlog

Version: 1.2.3

by: muh [More]

Encounter logs provide detailed combat information dumps from the ESO game client itself which can be further analyzed by third party applications.
This addon lets you configure content areas you want to automatically start logging combat data. It also disables logging whenever you're not in one of selected areas.

Features

Option to automatically start logging in:
- Housing
- Arenas
- Dungeons
- Trials

Allows you to bind logging to a Hotkey

Visual On-Screen Indicator

/ezlog chat command
- <nothing> - toggle /encounterlog, including the state of the on-screen indicator.
- lock or unlock - lock / move the visual on-screen indicator (only if on-screen indicator is enabled)
- anonymous or named - easy access to your anonymity setting.

Automatic logging is disabled by default, please go to the Easy Stalking settings and enable content types you're interested in.

For the time being automatic logging works for veteran content only.

Version 1.2.3
- API Bump
- properly messages logging state in chat when the indicator isn't enabled

Version 1.2.2
- no longer disables encounter logging when you've manually turned it on in veteran content you don't have auto-logging enabled for.

Version 1.2.1
- API bump

Version 1.2
- no longer disables encounter logging when you've manually turned it on in normal difficulty modes

Version 1.1
- added more options to /ezlog
- fixed incorrect default indicator state if automatic logging is not enabled
- unlocked color of on-screen indicator is now the inverted color

Version 1.0
- added /ezlog chat command
- removed pre-elsweyr API checks

Version 0.3
- minor bug fixes
- automatic logging is now off by default

Version 0.2
- Reworked detection of which content you're actually in
- Added visual on-screen indicator when you're logging

So is it an option to add something that asks you if you want to create a new file once you exited and re-entered a trial?

I don't think the encounter logs themselves offer such features but the website can probably easily seperate different runs/instances within the uploaded log file.

Just saw this. Sadly the website does not offer this feature. And the seperation within the Uploader tool is not working reliably.

But I personally fail at splitting the logs (manually by stopping live log or renaming the encounterlog because I often rush from one raid to another, or via the client - giving me errors on the split files / when trying to choose specific raid) I whonder if your addon could do one of the 2 things when leaving trial (or "auto enable log area") - access the encounterlog-file and rename it, so the next trial will give a new file - access the Eso Log Uploader and stop+restart the live log I realize that usually addons cant really access files outside of the ones they bring... maybe it would work similarly to the TTC-Client, or in a collaboration with the Eso Log Uploader. I guess a chat message whenever Easy Stalking activates / deactivates logging would already help me XD Last edited by wambo : 12/08/19 at 04:26 PM.

Ty for the addon. The keybinding makes logging much more accessible for me.

Good catch, thank you.

Seems like I never tested reload behaviour with automatic logging turned off.

I took this opportunity to make some changes to the behaviour of the indicator when it is unlocked.
Previously you could clear the box when the indicator was unlocked by toggling logging. It now has a different color when it is unlocked and this color will take precendence over the actual state of encounterlogging.
This means it'll only properly work when the indicator is locked.

You can lock/unlock the indicator with /ezlog lock and /ezlog unlock respectively now.

That said, you should probably look into esologs.com and their uploader. Their client allows you to split a log file where you select a set of logged encounters to upload. They should be easily distinguishable.

The website also clearly seperates each encounter, so you would be able to e.g. live log privately for your guild only. When you complete a good run you want to share publicly you should be able to select the same log file, split it to select only the encounters of your good run and upload only that part publicly.

Okay, thanks again.
Nope, no need to discuss this further.

Right, to make it clear; I will never touch the anonymity toggle, that is once again for the user to decide.

However I'm fairly certain that people who will use this addon will not use it while anonymous. The logs themselves are pretty useless without further processing by third party applications like the one shown during the April 12th ESO Live show.

Flagging yourself anonymous will not prevent data collection. It'll just replace your identifiable user data (@id, character names) with an anonymized identifier. This is not meant to protect you from idiots ingame, they don't need logs to be idiots. The purpose of the anonymity toggle is to not "leak" personal data outside of the systems ZOS controls.

But that's enough of this topic. The way the anonymity toggle works is outside of my control, but if you feel like you want to discuss it further we can move it over to a more private medium.

I don't mean to get into a debate here but ofc an addon should be able to turn this (ZOS) setting on and off. What you are describing is an addon doing something under the hood without the user's knowledge/consent.

As a comparison, lets take an addon that auto-destroys items, barring bugs it would only destroy items matching whatever settings the user has configured. Right now this addon falls under this behaviour, it does what it is promoting and respects whatever settings the user has configured for the addon to control the encounter logging setting.

If it were to be some addon that randomly destroys items with no regard to what the user had configured (or in the case of this addon if it were to ignore the addon settings and secretly turns the encounter logging on all the time) then that would be reason to report it (or at the very least deactivate/remove it).

My point being that all of the above has nothing to do with what exactly is being done or turned on/off.

But if 1 user in a group says no the others should just respect this and play with other users then. Easy.

This part I can understand and would agree with (for the moment), if one person in the group has the setting disabled maybe the entire (group)encounter shouldn't be logged. Tho it has nothing to do with this addon and/or something turning the setting on/off for the others in the group. It would be something that ZOS has to implement themselves.

Edit: Well right now it doesn't even involve the anonimity setting for the encounter logging ofc

Name is already doing work I see.

Yes the name is a jab at people that think their every move will be recorded now that this functionality will become available.

It's not about everything being recorded, at least this is not my problem. My problem would be if when I turn off a setting so my data is not recorded, another addon would just turn it back on.
You wouldn't want someone to spy your bedroom just because "it can be done", wouldn't you?

I didn't make this addon with malicious intent.

The addon only provides a small QoL improvement over what is provided ingame. It doesn't do anything but toggling /encounterlog according to user preference.

However, even though I'm not quite sure you were talking about the state of /encounterlog, automatic logging is off by default now. While I think that everyone who downloads this addon is going to use one or more of the automatic logging options, it's not my place to assume which content it is.

But the user already chooses to install this addon, why would it need to be off by default?
