PyEveLiveDPS, currently at version 2.7.2 and the only release published by ArtificialQualia, is a lightweight, single-purpose utility designed for players of the space-based MMORPG EVE Online who want real-time insight into their ship’s damage output. Belonging to the game-tools category, the application passively reads combat log data generated by the client, instantly parses each weapon cycle, and continuously calculates damage-per-second values that are then plotted on a live, auto-scaling graph. This allows pilots to observe DPS trends during fleet fights, solo PvP, wormhole skirmishes, or structured PvE encounters such as incursions and abyssal deadspace, giving immediate feedback on ammo choices, module cycling, target switches, or drone deployment without the need for manual post-combat log analysis. Because the tool operates externally and only consumes the text logs that EVE already writes to disk, it stays within the game’s EULA and requires neither injection nor modification of the client, making it permissible under CCP’s third-party policy. The interface is intentionally minimal: after pointing the program to the correct log directory, a resizable window displays a scrolling time-series chart that can be paused, zoomed, or exported for later review, while optional overlays can keep the curve visible on a second monitor during active gameplay. Version 2.7.2 refines timestamp parsing for the latest chat.log format changes introduced in EVE’s 2023 updates and adds an automatic nightly log rotation toggle to prevent excessive disk use on long sessions. PyEveLiveDPS is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always supply the newest build, and support batch installation alongside other applications.
