Attack Logs

When reading through attack logs, it is very difficult to read the damage, since it is not separated from the time.

****** fired 9 rounds of his Qsz-92 critically hitting ***** in the Head for 403013:15:34

Screen readers read out the numbers in one continuous 'breath', so it becomes a non-sense number. 

Would it be possible to have something separating the two numbers? Something like:

****** fired 9 rounds of his Qsz-92 critically hitting ***** in the Head for 4030 - 13:15:34

or

****** fired 9 rounds of his Qsz-92 critically hitting ***** in the Head for 4030 life 13:15:34

Passing along to Alexander. Thanks..!!

I'll ask Constantin to see if he has any ideas to resolve this for those using screen readers or copying and pasting the content.

What about now? I've added a label for the time container, it should pronounce the word "time" now. Does it help? 

Thank you.

Thanks!

When reading the log with NVDA, it reads out like this now:
XXX   hit   Leslie   with his Bone Saw in the Stomach for   3020  23:00:39
The timestamp is recognized, and the words hour/minutes/seconds are read out, making it a bit more obvious where the damage ends and the time begins.

The spacing between the damage and timestamp help as it gives a very small pause in the speech, but it does still sound a bit garbled.

When copy pasting the timestamp is lost for screen readers, however. it sounds no different in that respect.

Again, the spacing helps break it down if I scan through it character by character, so I am guessing it does 'look' better at least.

This is an improvement for sure. Still, if there was any way to give a '-' or something along those lines between the damage and timestamp, it would help a lot.

Maybe even a '.' at the end of the damage, to signify the end of a sentence.

Could you let me know if it now reads better?

I added a space, I guess it is better than a dot? 

Better than?

The space helped it read slightly better as I mentioned in my previous post.

There is still a bit of runon though.

If a dot were added at the end of the damage, it would force the screen reader to pause as to pause for the end of a sentence.

XXX hit PurpleFire with his Katana in the Stomach for 1221 02:48:49

This does not really cause the screen reader to pause, it is read out in one single breath.

XXX hit PurpleFire with his Katana in the Stomach for 1221. 02:48:49

This forces the reader to pause and makes it very easy to understand.

XXX hit PurpleFire with his Katana in the Stomach for 1221 - 02:48:49

This also forces the reader to pause, making the numbers clear and easy to understand.

Got it. Initially, I thought that the task was to separate the amount of damage from the time and a space is enough. 

Now I realize that we need to separate the whole sentence so I added a dot at the end. 

The space is needed, so everything does not blend in together.

PurpleFire hit XXX with her Samurai Sword in the Right arm for 786.02:48:50

This way it is not recognizing the dot as an end of sentence period.

Instead it is reading out "786dot02:48:50', so it is saying 'dot' rather than pausing.

If a space is added after the '.', it will break up the damage and timestamp in a way that sounds natural and clear.

Like this:

PurpleFire hit XXX with her Samurai Sword in the Right arm for 786. 02:48:50

Please add the space back lol.

I was asking for a '.' then space.

Thanks for being patient with me.

I hope this one is finally right. 

Let me know what you think.

Hm, I'm noticing no change.

Currently it is showing me this:
XXX fired 2 rounds of his ArmaLite M-15A4 hitting Leslie in the Chest for 3868.17:29:22

So it reads out like this:
XXX fired 2 rounds of his ArmaLite M-15A4 hitting Leslie in the Chest for 3868dot17:29:22

Without the space after the '.', it is just read out all in one breath and instead of recognizing the '.' as a period, it is reading out the word 'dot'.
I imagine it looks a bit off too.

The ideal result would be this:
XXX fired 2 rounds of his ArmaLite M-15A4 hitting Leslie in the Chest for 3868. 17:29:22

Also, thank you for your time, it is much appreciated. :)

Sorted, thank you!
