Tracking DPS

[Johnathon]

Is there a way to make it so the mini dps window ONLY tracks dps made to a single mob and ignore all adds.

Going over on dps on nexona sucks ass

Would love to know as well.

I know it's not an answer to the question, but instead of the mini-parse, I used a method to paste only Nexona incoming dps using the DoFileCommands plugin.

Here's the basic step-by-step
1. Selective Parsing/Combat Limiting/Only Record Actions by....
2. Add Nexona and have it checked
3. Install the DoFileCommands plugin. Direct Link: Advanced Combat Tracker :: View topic - DoFileCommands v1.0.1.6 [Jarva]
4. Setup the plugin, I won't go into detail since there's a nice writeup on act's forums. You can use the default, but set "Lines: 1". Make sure Channel is set to your parse channel or raid, or something people can see so they can adjust for themselves. This makes it only paste the header line, which on default is Time, Mob Name, and EXTDPS. Also make sure to hit enable and save before you move to a different window and forget.
5. Make an in-game macro, Command: /do_file_commands textfilename.txt
6. /act end at regular intervals, then hit the macro button. (If you don't /act end, act will round out the ext dps.)

That does it backwards. That's Nexona's out-going DPS. In-coming would be different.

I made a slight typo which might have made it seem that way, but the option's exact wording is this:

"Only record combat actions taken by/against listed"

Not just by, but taken by. (There's no just "by" option anyway). That's why it's incoming. Sorry for the confusion!

Revel is correct. Not just in theory, but because I do the same thing.

Using the 3rd radio button option on the Selective Parsing list but leaving the checkbox underneath unchecked will only record actions that happen to Nexona or happen from Nexona. Assuming Nexona is the only combatant checked in the Selective Parsing list.

Nexona's enemies will still appear as long as you keep the mentioned checkbox unchecked... so automatic ally detection will still be in effect at this point. As long as the 1st person perspective does something against or is Nexona's victim, the ally detection will succeed and Nexona will be the only non-ally.

Heal parses will be non-existent as healers won't be healing Nexona but the MT. Damage done to the lightning ball things won't be recorded as they are not Nexona, which the whole point I believe.

The 3rd selective parsing option directly affects the data that ACT records, so it will affect exports, mini-parses and the main tab table. Everything, really. Don't expect anything to be normal while using this mode as there will be obvious data gaps.

If you check the checkbox under that option, the one where it says to ignore the selected combatant's enemies, then you will be only recording the actions "by" the selected. So while it is not its own mode, the option does exist.
