Aion Riftshade

Hey,

I was wondering if any DPS meter is working on this server and was redirected to a french one. This DPS meter however is unable to locate the chat.log file needed for any of those applications to work. Does anyone know where to find this elusive file on the client used here?

Regards

You need edit the system.cnf located in the EuroAion directory, but you are going to need a specific editor for that. You can also add a system.ovr file.

The instructions how to edit it can be found here: http://rainy.ws/f-a-q/ under "How is the chat.log file enabled?" question.

You just create a text file and name it Chat.log ( not Chat.txt ) in the euroaion folder where the launcher is. Then run the game and go hit a dummy or something it should start growing in size meaning it's registering logs and the dps meter should work when you will show it the file location.

Got it working, thanks.

But now another, uh, "problem" arose. My chat started displaying messages about receiving or spending anything (e.g. Kinah from quests, broker transactions and picked up items) in a weird way. For instance, I just picked up a stigma from my mailbox and instead of the usual message i got "::ItemLoot::character name::<Stigma Name>". This happens with each and every single item or amount of Kinah i receive or trade/spend away. Any clue on how to revert this?

Did you follow my method or use Minfilia's approach? Simply creating the file manually doesn't cause any issues or modify the game itself. Also, you can open "SystemOptionGraphics.cfg" and insert the line G_CHATLOG = "1", and the game will auto-generate the file upon starting. Speaking of the "French DPS meter," I'm assuming you're referring to UltraKikiMeter, which is the one I currently use (v1.26.2). By creating a Chat.log file directly in the game directory, it functions smoothly without any hitch. Moreover, you can set it to read-only via properties when going into PvP or sieges to reduce lag and switch it back when engaging in PvE content. However, I've now moved onto beta testing for Aion Riftshade, where they've natively integrated a MyAion-like DPS Meter which is seamless for such uses, making setups much easier than manually tinkering like before.

Ok I rode that rainmeter link, and you seem to have modified the system.cfg file or created a system.ovr... those files shouldn't be edited (it says in it "Attention: This file is generated by the system, do not modify! Editing is not recommended! "). I think you should either delete that line you added in it or just outright delete the file and restart the game so that it generate a new one (might wanna do a backup of it tho).

I was contemplating using UKMeter until I saw that ARM is also supported for this server. Manually creating a chat.log file did not do anything for me so i had to edit the system.cfg file by adding the line you mentioned. I'll see what a recreation of the file does.

Not in "system.cfg", add the line in "SystemOptionGraphics.cfg"  in all caps : G_CHATLOG = "1". This create the file automatically by the game normally.
