Key Back End files

parser.js

  • Parses player log file based on specificed ruleset into JSON file
  • Requests item names from NotAion API (per 0.5s) as they are not in the log file
  • Checks one-word names against list of monsters with one-word names

monster.js

  • Generates a JSON file containing a list of monsters with one-word names
  • Monster names in Aion typically contain more than one word
  • Which allows the parser differentiate between player and non-player characters
  • However, there are some monsters with one-word names
  • Hence it's necessary for the parser to run through this list
  • The JSON file is generated from a list containing every monster's name
  • The list contains 42,600 names manually scraped from aiondatabase.net

insert.js

  • Inserts processed log file into Mongo database
