CombatDash vs eqdps

CombatDash is a free, MIT-licensed community plugin for The Lord of the Rings Online on Windows. It gives creep-class players a glanceable combat dashboard showing incoming damage, received healing, outgoing healing, damage per second, effective damage per second, and time to defeat. The suite also includes five toggleable HUDs and three information windows. Class indicators use icons, LEDs, and bars for class-specific stances, stacks, and countdowns. The Fights window presents historical encounters as graphs and statistics sheets and includes a raid board assembled from chat posts. The Map window marks keep ownership, gates, sightings, port points, and rally points with clickable travel markers. The Heals window shows up to 24 members and reads cooldown broadcasts from the Sender. CombatDash describes interoperability with CombatAnalysis and PvMP+ through machine-readable chat posts. Installation involves downloading a release from LoTROInterface, unzipping it into the LOTRO Plugins folder, and loading it with the in-game Plugin Manager. It supports combat-log import and session history.

eqdps is a graphical EverQuest log parser and damage meter, built primarily for EverQuest Legends. It follows an active log file and can replay recent history, tracking concurrent fights and separating melee, spell, proc, damage-over-time and damage-shield damage. Displays include DPS and SDPS, hit and critical-hit counts, active time, fight filters and expandable combatant details. A separate compact overlay can show the current fight and event timers. The app also reports session XP per hour, progress toward the current level and estimated time to the next level. Users can configure spell-fade, spell-timer, text and regular-expression events, with desktop notifications and sound alerts. Plane of Sky tracking covers quests, items, runes, watched quests and turn-ins. Inventory and Plane of Sky data can optionally be uploaded to eqldb.org. EverQuest Legends is the main compatibility target; other versions may work when their log messages use the same format. The app presents information without modifying or interacting with the game client. It is free for Linux and Windows; Windows builds are not code-signed and may show an Unknown publisher warning.
