(Rift Parsing Plugin (ACTv3))

Step 3
---------------
Install ACT
While in ACT, add the plugin Rift3.cs

Step 3.5
---------------
Add Rift's log file (CombatLog.txt) to ACT

In Advanced Combat Tracker go to the Options tab.
Under Miscellaneous, click Open Log.
Navigate to the Rift log file, mine was at: C:\Program Files (x86)\RIFT Game\CombatLog.txt
Click Open, and you're done.

Can't find CombatLog.txt?

"..Many people may have downloaded Rift through steam, and the CombatLog is not in the same place. for users of Steam they will find it under.... C:\Program Files(x86)\steam\steamapps\com­mon\rift..... once there, CombatLog will come up very clearly."

Step 4
---------------
While in game, enable logging:

/combatlog
/log

Step 5
---------------
Turn on the DPS meter window by clicking "Show Mini" in the top right of ACT

Done!

-------------
Using this program is legal because it does not interact with the game itself. It reads output files from the game and records the data.

It was tricky to get this working on my own, hopefully this helps you.

@mynameismom1

if you are using steam (i dont know if you are or not) i had that same problem, the CombatLog is not in the same place, however you can find it by going to... C:\Program Files(x86)\steam\steamapps\com­mon\rift...

that should help you at if you are in fact using steam, if not i cant help ya (:

[thatotherkid1]

Actually i just solved and Answered my own question, you should also add this to your step 3.5, as many people may have downloaded Rift through steam, and the CombatLog is not in the same place. for users of Steam they will find it under.... C:\Program Files(x86)\steam\steamapps\com­mon\rift..... once there, CombatLog will come up very clearly

so all in all, great vid, like an subscribe by me, i just think you should update that step for Steam Users like me haha, thank you
