Docmal Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hello, I downloaded the latest beta version on the link you provided and it was 5.8kb. Is it possible to provide a full installer with md5 and sha checksums to verify the integrity of the download? And also a virustotal report (I can submit) referencing the same checksums? While I know many thousands use it, it would provide me with peace of mind prior to installing it. I am not a fan of downloaders that then download additional files. I like to get the entire file & verify checksums prior to running any installer. Thank you! Parsec is hosted on Microsoft's open source web site CodePlex where you can view the code and install the app. It uses Microsoft's ClickOnce for deployment and updates. ClickOnce does not install applications like your normal Windows installers. ClickOnce applications are installed in your Windows Application Cache. They have very limited access to your system and are only accessible to the user who installed them. They will not leave a footprint on your system other than what is in the cache. You can think of them like Smart Phone Apps for your PC. Although ClickOnce certainly has flaws, and I make no secret of that in any of my posts, I have no plans to change it because it is free, easy and well... inertia. Here is the Wikipedia link on ClickOnce that gives a good overview of it: clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorgenBlue Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Personally I don't like ClickOnce and would rather use a "real" installer but I don't see much point in changing it at this point. If you don't trust it you can download the source and compile it yourself relatively easily, bypassing ClickOnce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwanius Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hello, I'm hoping you can help me. I've reinstalled windows onto a SSD. When I download parsec it now won't open saying its ParsecClient.application and doesn't know what to open it with. When opeinging with internet explorer Parsec will install. However, after closing the program, it will not open again and needs to be reinstalled. Any thoughts on what I might have broken to cause this?

MorgenBlue Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Try reinstalling .NET 4, it might reassociate the .application file type with the Clickonce launcher for you, maybe. Edited January 13, 2015 by MorgenBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could go back in time I would have used something better. But... inertia. You can download and compile the source but I do not include the encryption key for encrypted communications with the Raid Service. The majority of raid service stuff would work but some of it would not. I do this in order to keep some control of what is hitting the Raid Service since I pay for it and would prefer to avoid silliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSathra Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/76e4d2xw.aspx Have you signed your application to protect against M-i-t-M risks? Can I control when the application updates? If so, how? What security zone are you using? Internet Zone or Full trust (or has this changed)? To use internet zone, must I install from Internet Explorer? Thank you. (don't mean to be annoying just paranoid about security) Edited January 14, 2015 by LordSathra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazerxxx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Parsec updated to the new builld(1.0.0.53) but I can't see any of the new features like custum timer sounds or timers for log events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorgenBlue Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Parsec updated to the new builld(1.0.0.53) but I can't see any of the new features like custum timer sounds or timers for log events. Should be all on the Manage Timers page. Just set the sound effect to "Custom". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kacynski Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm just trying Parsec and so far it works well for me. But it doesn't let me create a group for raids. When I do "Raid Groups - Manage" and the enter a group name and password and click "create" it tells me: "Group rejected: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

FrozenGoalie Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I used to be able to run parsec but Norton recently told me it was malware and I've been unable to run it since (including after uninstalling/reinstalling and telling Norton to allow it). At one point it ran just after I installed it, but it didn't let me open it again a few days later. Any idea how I might fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKelkinator Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 What'd be awesome would be if there would be a pop out implemented that helps merc healers keep track of their kolto shell. Nothing over the top just something like: Player - 5 - 1:30 (name)(stacks)(time remaining) Would be so much easier as opposed to having to select each player to see whether they have it.

funkiestj Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Looking at the Parsec page on codeplex I see that Parsec is open source. I've programmed professionally a while now but never any GUI work much less windows. What is required if I want to compile Parsec myself? Do I need to by some particular Windows SDK? I've written some small combat log parsing programs of my own but no GUI (text report only). I'd love to be able to leverage the Parsec GUI to add more stats that I'm interested in. It would also be nice to add things like sort by column to the DPS window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LasagnaSurfer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Is it possible to still use this? I want to be able to parse companions for a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rion_Starkiller Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I'm not sure what you need, but parsec is dead now. Use http://www.ixparse.com/ (starparse) client. Check your stats (and leaderboards) on parsely.io. Not sure about the tools and such to create your own tables.
