nParse+¶
An EverQuest Project 1999 companion overlay for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
nParse+ tails your EQ log file and gives you, in real time: per-target spell and buff timers, a full trigger engine with voice alerts, a DPS meter, live maps with an NPC finder, respawn timers, complete-heal chain tracking, raid-AOE countdowns, and mob info with live loot pricing.
It reads the log file only — no memory reading, no injection, no game files modified (the optional Night Vision fix is applied only when you ask, with backups).

Standing on the shoulders of giants¶
nParse+ exists because of three excellent tools that came before it, and it gladly acknowledges its debt to each:
- nParse by nomns — the original cross-platform P99 parser this project is forked from (GPL-3.0). The map overlay heritage and the self-hostable location sharing come from here.
- EQTool / PigParse by smasherprog and contributors (MIT) — the Windows tool whose feature set, trigger library, zone/respawn databases, and network protocol nParse+ ports 1:1. nParse+ interoperates live with EQTool users on the PigParse network.
- GINA by Gimagukk — the archetypal EQ trigger tool whose trigger/overlay/TTS model shaped what players expect from any parser.
See Why nParse+ for how the feature sets compare, and Migrating if you're coming from one of them.
What you get¶
| Area | What you get |
|---|---|
| Spell timers | Per-target buff/debuff countdowns from the real spell DB (durations by your level/class), gem icons, per-class spell filters, worn-off removal, cooldowns, self-buffs restored across camps |
| Triggers | 65 built-in triggers (raid AOEs with countdown bars, invis/levitate fading, failed feign, charm break, death touch, …) plus custom triggers with {name}/{c}/{COUNTER} tokens, zone gating, text-to-speech, timers, and counters. Start ad-hoc timers from chat: StartTimer-45-Label |
| Maps | Brewall map set, player marker with direction arrow via /loc, tracking-skill radius circle (Druid/Ranger/Bard), smooth z-axis fading tuned per zone, spawn-point timers, waypoints, path recording, and NPC search with live P99-wiki lookup |
| DPS meter | Per-fight attacker breakdown, 12-second trailing DPS, session best/current/last |
| Combat tracking | Respawn timers on kill (per-NPC times for 121 zones), faction/exp kill guessing, random-roll tracking, quake/Ring War/FTE alerts, death-loop detection, pet tracking |
| CH chains | CA 001 CH -- Target calls render as chips sliding across an 11-second lane per heal target; voice and on-screen warning when your slot is next |
| Event overlay | Full-screen click-through alerts and countdown bars; position it over your game window from the tray |
| Mob info | /consider a mob → respawn time, notable flag, known loot with live auction prices, one-click wiki page |
| PigParse network | Live interop with EQTool users: shared player dots on the map, shared Kael pull timers and dragon roars, quake/boat/roll-timer feeds, a shared /who roster, pigparse.org Discord login with inventory upload — plus a self-hostable nparse websocket mode |
| Night Vision fix | One click applies the community shader/sky fix over your EQ install (with backups) — and one click reverts it |
| Friends sync | Merge every character's in-game friends list on a server and push it back to all of them (originals backed up) |
| Boats | Boat schedule tracking synced from sightings, yours or shared over the network |
