Viewing logs after a fight

If you have ACT open during a fight, then it will generate logs. These logs will be trimmed to the start and end of combat.

To see the parsed version of these logs, click on the Main tab, expand the zone you care about, right click on the encounter you want, then select View Logs.

The All entry includes all the encounters in a zone and cannot be viewed. You must view individual encounters.

The window that pops up has the parsed log lines that triggers can be made against. This is one way to search through and find the text that you want to make a trigger for.

Importing an old fight

Sometimes you have to close ACT, but you want to look at old fights. Or, somebody else sends you a log, and you want to make triggers from it.

To do this, click the Import/Export tab, click on Import a Log File, click on Select File… select the Network_plugin_date.log log file, (where plugin and date are the FFXIV plugin version and day) and finally click the YOU button.

This will create encounters whose logs you can view.

Importing into ffxivmon

If you want to dig into the network data itself, ffxivmon is a great tool.

To create a log file suitable for ffxivmon, first turn on the (DEBUG) Dump all Network Data to logfile setting in ACT.

Then, run an encounter in game with ACT running. Once you’re done, import that network log file into ffxivmon.

Now, you can walk through and investigate the network data directly.

Glossary of Terms

Network Data

This is the raw packet dump sent from ff14 servers to your computer. This data is processed both by the game itself as well as by the ffxiv plugin to produce network log lines.

network data screenshot

Folks writing triggers generally do not have to worry about raw packet data and so this document does not focus very much on this type of data.

Network Log Lines

These represent the lines that the ffxiv plugin writes to disk in Network_22009_20210801.log files in your log directory. These lines are still processed and filtered by the ffxiv plugin, and are (mostly) not raw network data.

Here are some example network log lines:

21|2019-05-31T21:14:56.8980000-07:00|10532971|Tini Poutini|DF9|Fire IV|40002F21|Zombie Brobinyak|150003|3B9D4002|1C|DF98000|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|104815|348652|12000|12000|1000|1000|-767.7882|156.939|-672.0446|26285|28784|13920|15480|1000|1000|-771.8156|157.1111|-671.3281||8eaa0245ad01981b69fc1af04ea8f9a1

Data on network log lines is separated by vertical braces, i.e. |. Network log lines also contain the hash of that line at the end. The log line type itself is in decimal, e.g. aoe abilities are on lines that begin with 22|. The equivalent parsed log line would be written as the hex type 0x16, i.e. NetworkAOEAbility.

The ffxiv plugin does not write the parsed log lines that plugins interact with to disk.

The network log lines are used by some tools, such as:

In the past, cactbot used to use parsed log lines for all triggers but has switched to using network log lines instead as they have more information. Timelines still use parsed log lines for syncing (for now).

If you import a network log file into ACT, then you can view the parsed log lines for in the fight.

Parsed Log Lines

These are the log lines that come out of the ffxiv plugin at runtime and are also exposed to plugins for triggers. These are what the View Logs option in ACT shows. Most cactbot triggers used network log lines, but ACT custom triggers use parsed log lines.

Data in parsed log lines is separated by colons, i.e. :. The log line type is in hex.

Here is an example:

[21:16:44.288] 15:10532971:Potato Chippy:9C:Scathe:40001299:Striking Dummy:750003:90D0000:1C:9C8000:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:2778:2778:0:0:1000:1000:-653.9767:-807.7275:31.99997:26945:28784:6720:15480:1000:1000:-631.5208:-818.5244:31.95173:

Parsed log lines lines always start with the time in square brackets. This time is formatted to be in your local time zone. The time is followed with a hex value (in this case 0x15) that indicates the type of the line it is.

The rest of the data in the line needs to be interpreted based on what type it is. See the following sections that describe each line.

Game Log Lines

A game log line is a specific type of log line with type 00. These log lines also appear directly in your chat windows in game, possibly in the Battle Log tab. Try to avoid writing triggers using these lines.

See: Line 00 for examples.

Object/Actor/Entity/Mob/Combatant

These are all words used synonymously in this document to refer to an object in the game that can use abilities and has stats. This could be the player, Bahamut, Eos, a Striking Dummy.

Object ID

Object ids are 4 byte identifiers used for all types of objects.

Player ids always start with the byte 10, e.g. 1069C23F or 10532971.

Enemy and pet ids always start with the byte 40, e.g. 4000A848 or 4000A962.

For NetworkAOEAbility lines that don’t affect anybody, e.g. a Titan landslide that somehow nobody stands in, this is represented as hitting the id E0000000 (and a blank name).

One thing to note is that in most raids, there are many mobs in the scene with the same name. For example, in t13, there are about twenty Bahamut Prime mobs in the zone, most of which are invisible. You can often differentiate these by HP values (see AddCombatant log lines). Often these invisible mobs are used as the damaging actors, which is why in UWU Titan Phase, both Garuda and Titan use Rock Throw to put people in jails.

Ability ID

Although ff14 differentiates between abilities and spells, this document uses these words interchangeably. All actions taken by a player or an enemy are “abilities” and have a unique 4 byte id.

You can use xivapi.com to look up a particular action, as sometimes these are listed as “Unknown” from the ffxiv plugin if it hasn’t updated yet. For example, Fire IV has the ability id 0xDF9 = 3577, so this link will give you more information about it: https://xivapi.com/action/3577?columns=ID,Name,Description,ClassJobCategory.Name

This works for both players and enemies, abilities and spells.

Instance Content ID

Some lines like the actor control line and SystemLogMessage have a field called instance. This field is a four byte field with two parts, The first two bytes are the update type (e.g. 8003 is the update type for instanced content, and 8004 is the same content but with trusts). The second two bytes are the InstanceContentType, from the InstanceContent table.

For example, if instance is 80034E6C then 0x4E6C is the InstanceContentType. 0x4E6C is 20076 in decimal, and corresponds to Diamond Weapon (Savage): https://xivapi.com/InstanceContent/20076?pretty=true.

FFXIV Plugin Log Lines

Line 00 (0x00): LogLine

These are what this document calls “game log lines”. Because these are not often used for triggers (other than 0839 and 0044 messages), the full set of LogTypes is not well-documented.

Don’t Write Triggers Against Game Log Lines

There are a number of reasons to avoid basing triggers on game log lines:

Instead, the recommendation is to base your triggers on log lines that are not type 0x00. Prefer using NetworkBuff line instead of “suffers the effect” game log lines. Prefer using the NetworkStartsCasting “starts using” line instead of the “readies” or “begins casting” game log lines.

At the moment, there are some cases where you must use game log lines, such as sealing and unsealing of zones, or boss rp text for phase transitions.

Note: There are examples where NetworkStartsCasting lines show up after the corresponding 00 “readies” line, but it is on the order of tens of milliseconds and does not consistently show up first. NetworkAbility lines always seem to show up before the 00 “uses” lines.

This combatant may be invisible and fake. The real ones have more HP. For example, at the start of Deltascape V2.0 you will see messages like the latter 5 examples above.

In heavy zones (e.g. Eureka), combatants may be culled if there are too many things nearby. Usually other players are culled first, but mobs can be as well. Eureka NMs (and S ranks) solve this by having a flag on them that allows them to be seen via AddCombatant message from anywhere in the zone, which is why it is possible to write triggers for when these pop.

Line 04 (0x04): RemoveCombatant

This message is sent when an object is removed from the scene, either because the player has moved too far away from it, it has died, or the player has changed zones.

Line 21 (0x15): NetworkAbility

This is an ability that ends up hitting a single target (possibly the caster’s self). The reason this is worded as “ends up hitting” is that some AOE abilities may only hit a single target, in which case they still result in this type

For example, in ucob, if Firehorn’s fireball in nael phase hits the whole group, it will be a 22/0x16 type. If one person runs the fireball out and it only hits them, then it is type 21/0x15 because there’s only one target. If your trigger includes the message type, it is usually best to write your parsed log line regex 1[56] and your network log line regex as 2[12] to include both possibilities.

Ground AOEs that don’t hit anybody are considered NetworkAOEAbility lines.

Network ability lines are a combination of raw network data (e.g. the 710003 flags and the 9420000 damage) and frequently sampled data from memory (e.g. the 66480 current hp value and -653.0394 x position).

This means that there’s a number of caveats going on to handling all the data in these lines. The raw network data is subject to change over time from ff14 servers. Also, the data from memory may be slightly stale and out of date

Ability Flags

Damage bitmasks:

Heal bitmasks:

Other bitmasks appear on particular abilities, and can indicate whether bane missed or hit recipients. However, these all appear ability-specific.

Some of these flags also indicate whether the ability is part of a combo or not and whether the positional was hit. However, these values do not seem to be consistent between jobs.

For example, the flags for successful rear trick attack are 1971.003. The . here represents 2, 4, or 6 as the trick may crit, dh, both, or neither. The flags for a missed trick attack positional are 714.003.

If you care about specific ability flags, you likely have to do this research yourself. Please send pull requests to this document so it can be shared!

Ability Damage

Damage bitmasks: 0x10000 = hallowed or bolide, no damage (this can be blocked too) 0x4000 = “a lot” of damage

The damage value in an ability usage is not the literal damage, because that would be too easy.

The formula to get from the damage value in the ability log line to the actual damage value is the following.

First, left-extend zeroes to 4 bytes (8 chars), e.g. 2934001 => 02934001, or 1000 => 00001000.

The first two bytes (4 chars) are the damage.

Unless, if there is an 0x00004000 mask, then this implies “a lot” of damage. In this case, consider the bytes as ABCD, where C is 0x40. The total damage is calculated as D A (B-D) as three bytes together interpreted as an integer.

For example, 424E400F becomes 0F 42 (4E - OF = 3F) => 0F 42 3F => 999999

Special Case Shifts

It is not clear what this represents, but sometimes the flags is replaced by one (or more) pairs of values.

The most likely case is that if flags is 3F, then the flags and damage are in index 9 and 10 instead of 7 and 8, respectively. In other words, when you see flags being a particular value, you need to shift everything over two to find the real flags. See the example below. It is also to be noted that this value has slowly increased over time and was 3C back in 2017.

The other shift is that plenary indulgence lists the number of stacks in the flags as 113, 213, or 313 respectively. These are always followed by 4C3. Therefore, these should also be shifted over two to find the real flags.

Line 24 (0x18): NetworkDoT

HoT (heal over time) and DoT (damage over time) amounts. These are the aggregated quantities of damage for every hot or dot on that target from a given source.

The reason why there is such a discrepancy between ACT and fflogs about dots is that ff14 does not return the exact tick amounts for every active dot. Instead, if a boss has 20 dots applied to it, then it returns the total tick amount for all of these dots. Parsers are left to estimate what the individual dot amounts are.

The damageType field is a number id that corresponds to the AttackType table.

The source can be blank here (and there will be two spaces like the above example if that’s the case).

This line corresponds to game log lines that look like this: 00:12af:The worm's heart suffers the effect of Slashing Resistance Down. 00:112e:Tini Poutini gains the effect of The Balance. 00:08af:You suffer the effect of Burning Chains.

Although game log lines differentiate between buffs and debuffs, this NetworkBuff line includes all effect types (both positive and negative).

You cannot count on the time remaining to be precise. In rare cases, the time will already have counted down a tiny bit. This matters for cases such as ucob Nael phase doom debuffs.

The different headmarker IDs (e.g. 0018 or 001A in the examples above) are consistent across fights as far as which marker they visually represent. (Correct resolution for the marker mechanic may not be.) For example, 0039 is the meteor marker in Shinryu EX adds phase and the Baldesion Arsenal Ozma fight. The fields following id always appears to be zero in practice, although the fields before the id infrequently have non-zero values.

Note: It’s unclear when the head markers disappear. Maybe one of these fields is a duration time? It’s not clear what either of these unknown values mean.

Also, this appears to only be true on later fights. Turn 5 fireball and conflag headmarkers are actions from Twintania and not NetworkTargetIcon lines. It seems likely this was implemented later and nobody wanted to break old content by updating it to use newer types.

Each of the values after the name represents the memory for the job gauge, interpreted as a 4 byte integer. To get back to the original memory, zero pad out to 4 bytes, and then reverse the bytes (because little endian).

For example, take this line: 1F:10532971:Tini Poutini:C8000019:FD32:D0DF8C00:7FC0

Zero extended: :C8000019:0000FD32:D0DF8C00:

Reversed: 19 00 00 C8 32 FD 00 00 00 8C DF D0

The first byte is always the job. The remaining bytes are a copy of the job gauge memory.

This job is 0x19 (or black mage). Interpreting these values means:

There are a number of references for job gauge memory:

1) cactbot FFXIVProcess code 1) Dalamud code

Unfortunately, network data about other player’s gauge is not sent. You are unable to see the abilities of other players, only your own. (This is probably by design to cut down on the amount of network data sent.)

Line 33 (0x21): Network6D (Actor Control)

See also: nari director update documentation

To control aspects of the user interface, the game sends packets called Actor Controls. These are broken into 3 types: ActorControl, ActorControlSelf, and ActorControlTarget. If ActorControl is global, then ActorControlSelf / ActorControlTarget affects individual actor(s).

Actor control commands are identified by a category, with parameters passed to it as a handler. DirectorUpdate is a category of ActorControlSelf and is used to control the events inside content for an individual player:

Wipes on most raids and primals these days can be detected via this regex in 6.2: 21:........:4000000F:. Prior to 6.2, you can use this regex: 21:........:40000010:. However, this does not occur on some older fights, such as coil turns where there is a zone seal.

Known types:

Note: cactbot uses “fade in” as the wipe trigger, but probably should switch to “fade out” after testing.

Still unknown:

Line 34 (0x22): NetworkNameToggle

The type of tether in the above three lines are 0001, 0007, and 006E respectively.

Like NetworkTargetIcon (Head Marker), Type is consistent across fights and represents a particular visual style of tether.

Line 36 (0x24): LimitBreak

This log line is recorded every server tick where limit break energy is generated while in combat in a light or full party. (Generation is not recorded while at cap.) It starts at 0x0000 at the beginning of the instance (or encounter in the caseof a single-encounter instance,) and counts up by 0x00DC (220 decimal,) until the limit break is used, or the instance’s maximum limit value is reached. This rate of increase is constant, but other actions taken can cause extra increments to happen independent of the base increase. (These other increments occur in the same packet as the base rate, but separately.)

Each limit break bar is 0x2710 (10,000 decimal) units. Thus, the maximum possible recorded value would be 0x7530.

Line 37 (0x25): NetworkActionSync

This log line is a sync packet that tells the client to render an action that has previously resolved. (This can be an animation or text in one of the game text logs.) It seems that it is emitted at the moment an action “actually happens” in-game, while the NetworkAbility or NetworkAOEAbility line is emitted before, at the moment the action is “locked in”.

As Ravahn explains it:

if I cast a spell, i will get an effectresult packet (line type 21/22) showing the damage amount, but the target isnt expected to actually take that damage yet. the line 37 has a unique identifier in it which refers back to the 21/22 line and indicates that the damage should now take effect on the target. The FFXIV plugin doesn’t use these lines currently, they are used by FFLogs. It would help though if I did, but ACT doesn’t do multi-line parsing very easily, so I would need to do a lot of work-arounds.”

It seems likely that this line was added in order to extend functionality for the NetworkBuff, NetworkBuffRemove, and NetworkActionSync log lines without breaking previous content or plugins.

Line 39 (0x27): NetworkUpdateHP

It’s not completely clear what triggers this log line, but it contains basic information comparable to NetworkActionSync and NetworkStatusEffects. It applies to allies and fairies/pets.

This log line tends to fire roughly every 3 seconds in some cases.

Line 41 (0x29): SystemLogMessage

This log line is sent when there are system log messages. As game chat log lines are read from memory in the FFXIV ACT plugin, Line 41 can be sent both before or after the corresponding Line 00. That said, they are usually sequential in the network log, and so there is no timing advantage to using one over the other, but the system log message will have a correct timestamp.

The id parameter is an id into the LogMessage table.

id (hex) Link Shortened Message
0x2EE link You obtain (an item)
0x7DC link will be sealed off in X seconds
0x7DD link is sealed off
0x7DE link is no longer sealed

The log message itself determines the other parameters. It seems that IntegerParameter(1) in the log message corresponds to param1 and IntegerParameter(2) corresponds to param2. It is not clear what param0 does or how other Parameter functions work.

Here are two network log lines:

41|2022-01-11T16:28:50.6340000-08:00|80030054|7DC|02|1008|0F|1a1b91bd4bf5d5e1^M

See Instance Content ID for more details about the instance parameter. 00830054 represents instanced content for The Dead Ends.

7DC is the id, which corresponds to: "<Clickable(<SheetEn(PlaceName,2,IntegerParameter(1),2,1)\/>)\/> will be sealed off in <Value>IntegerParameter(2)<\/Value> <If(Equal(IntegerParameter(2),1))>second<Else\/>seconds<\/If>!"

Use the log message itself to determine what param1 and param2 mean, if anything.

In this case, param1 is 1008, which from the log message you can determine is a PlaceName id. Looking this up in the PlaceName table gets “Shell Mound”.

param2 is 0x0F, which from the log message is used for the seconds in the message, i.e. 15 in decimal.

Here’s one other example:

41|2022-02-18T22:03:00.5130000-08:00|1B01EA|2EE|C2BD6401|758A|45D530|9efb90e26e3b41c3

2EE is the id, which corresponds to: "<Clickable(<If(Equal(ObjectParameter(1),ObjectParameter(2)))>you<Else/><If(PlayerParameter(7))><SheetEn(ObjStr,2,PlayerParameter(7),1,1)/><Else/>ObjectParameter(2)</If></If>)/> <If(Equal(ObjectParameter(1),ObjectParameter(2)))>obtain<Else/>obtains</If> <SheetEn(Item,1,IntegerParameter(1),1,1)/>."

Here, param1 is 758A, which corresponds to “Little Leafman” in the Item table. It is unclear how ObjectParameter and PlayerParameter work here.

Future work:

This line seems to be sent only for the current player and lists some status effects. More information is needed.

Line 257 (0x101): MapEffect

This message is sent to cause a specific visual effect to render in the game client during instanced content. MapEffect lines are not tied to any particular actor or action but may provide visual-based information about how an upcoming mechanic will resolve.

For example, after Aetheric Polyominoid or Polyominoid Sigma casts in P6S, MapEffect messages are sent to cause the game client to render ‘+’ and ‘x’ effects on specific map tiles, indicating to the player which tiles will later be rendered unsafe by Polyominous Dark IV.

The instance parameter is identical to instance in an actor control line. See above for more information.

The flags parameter identifies the visual effect that will be rendered in the game. For example, in P6S, 00020001 flags equates to a +-shaped tile and 00400020 flags equates to an x-shaped tile. Flags do not appear to be unique across multiple instances: as the above examples illustrate the flags 00020001 are used in both P5S and P6S to render completely different visual effects.

That said, it does appear from initial analysis that when a map effect is rendered, a second MapEffect line with 00080004 flags is sent at the conclusion of the effect, which may correspond to removal of the effect. This appears to be consistent behavior across several fights so far, but more information is needed.

The location parameter indicates the location in the current instance where the effect will be rendered. Locations are not consistent across instances and appear to be unique to each instance. E.g., a location of ‘05’ in P6S corresponds to one of the 16 tiles on the map floor, whereas the ‘05’ location in P5S appears to correspond to different map coordinates.

Line 258 (0x102): FateDirector

This line indicates changes in fates on the map. This includes when fates are added, removed, or their progress has changed.

Line 260 (0x104): InCombat

This log line tracks in combat state. inGameCombat is whether FFXIV itself considers you in combat. inACTCombat is whether ACT considers you in combat, which may include other people around you and not yourself and also takes your ACT encounter settings into consideration.

isACTChanged and isGameChanged represent whether the state has changed since the last log line. This allows triggers to be written for when a particular one changes, as lines are emitted if either changes. These are both true the first time the log is written.

OverlayPlugin uses inACTCombat to re-split your encounters during import based on how they were split when they were originally recorded.

Line 261 (0x105): CombatantMemory

OverlayPlugin has a getCombatants function which returns the state of combatants in the game. However, it is hard to know when it is safe to call this function and know that combatants have moved into position (or changed model or changed heading). These lines give more granular information when combatants change their status. Please note that this is still polling memory (so timing may be racy) and there are some heuristics to not emit too many lines (so data may be imprecise).

For more information, see the class definition in OverlayPlugin.

There are three types of this line:

Each line may contain an arbitrary number of field name / value pairs.

Line 262 (0x106): RSVData

Square Enix obfuscates (among other things) ability names, status names, and messages in current savage and ultimate content in the game data itself. This is to prevent data mining. However, as these ability names need to be displayed by the game itself these ability names are sent as network data upon zoning in.

These lines display the currently obfuscated abilities for the current zone for the current game locale.

Note that : characters are not escaped even if the game abilities have a : in them. It is recommended to use the network log line format to parse these lines for that reason.

These values may also contain special unicode character sequences that the game client will replace with placeholder values, such as the current player’s name. CR and LF characters are also escaped and will need to be unescaped. See the logs below for an example.

Line 263 (0x107): StartsUsingExtra

This line contains extra data for ActorCast/StartsUsing network data.

This line is always output for a given StartsUsing cast.

If the ability is non-targeted, x/y/z/heading will be the source actor’s position and heading data.

If the ability is actor-targeted, then x/y/z will be the target actor’s current position, and heading will be the angle from the source actor to the target actor.

If the ability purely targets the ground (such as BLU Bomb Toss), then x/y/z/heading be the position data for the target location.

If the ability purely targets a direction (such as BLU Aqua Breath), then x/y/z will be the source actor’s position, while heading is the direction in which the ability was cast.

Note that the important part is how the ability is targeted, not its actual AoE type. For example, Pneuma hits everything in a line, as if it were targeting a direction. However, it is targeted on an actor, and if said actor moves during the cast, then the cast will “follow” the target. Thus, if the ability has a target (and the target is neither the caster nor the environment), then the actual location of the target is a better indication of where it will hit.

Line 264 (0x108): AbilityExtra

This line contains extra data for Ability/NetworkAOEAbility network data.

This line is always output for a given Ability hit, regardless of if that Ability hit had a corresponding StartsUsing line.

If the ability has no target, or is single-target, the dataFlag value will be 0, and the x/y/z/heading fields will be blank.

If the ability targets the ground, for example Asylum/Sacred Soil/caster LB3, the dataFlag value will be 1 and the x/y/z/heading fields will correspond to the ground target location and heading of the ability target.

If the ability targets a direction (such as line/cone AoEs), then the x/y/z will be the source actor’s position, while heading is the direction that the ability is casting towards.

If there is some sort of error related to parsing this data from the network packet, dataFlag will be 256, and the x/y/z/heading fields will be blank.

globalEffectCounter is equivalent to sequence field in NetworkAbility and NetworkAOEAbility.

Note that unlike StartsUsingExtra, you do not need to worry about whether or not there is an actor target, as this represents the final snapshotted location of the Ability.
