EQemu PvP Tracker

Zone-agnostic PvP tracker for EQEmu servers.

A Lua script that logs player-vs-player kills, announces kills (either zone or worldwide), keeps temporary per-event stats (kills/deaths/ratio), and exports results in Markdown (for Discord) and CSV (for spreadsheets). Can be used either temporarily or longterm.

✨ Features

• Zone-agnostic - auto-detects zone via eq.get_zone_short_name()
• Zonewide PvP announcements in yellow text --> PvP: Disto has slain Drel! (Event Kills: 3)
• Temporary event storage - kills/deaths stored with TTL (default ~36h)
  • configurable by changing local EVENT_TTL_SECONDS = 36 * 60 * 60 -- ~36h
• Anti-feed protection - ignores repeat killer→victim within a timeframe (default OFF 0s)
  • configurable by changing local ANTI_FEED_SECONDS = 45
• Sortable leaderboard - ranked by kills, then K/D, then deaths.
• Exports (GM-only):
  • Markdown snapshot for Discord.
  • CSV snapshot (per-event).
  • Fresh CSV file written in write mode (w) so each export overwrites the old one.
• Pagination — !event top and !event post support N + page.

🚀 Quickstart

1. Place the script --> Copy player.lua into each zone you want to support e.g.:

   • quests/northkarana/player.lua
   • quests/eastcommons/player.lua
   • … or symlink one copy across zones.

2. Ensure folders exist --> Create quests/<zone>/ folders (Lua won’t auto-create).

3. Reload quests

   • #reloadquest

4. Run an event --> !event start <optional_name> <optional_minutes>

   • Example: !event start MYSTERYEVENT4 120

5. Export results (at the end)

   • !event export
   • Outputs:
     • <zone>_pvp_event_<EID>.md (Markdown snapshot)
     • <zone>_pvp_event_<EID>.csv (CSV snapshot)
     • quests/<zone>/<zone>_event.csv (fresh overwrite each export)
