PQ Companion
What PQ Companion is
PQ Companion is a Windows desktop app built for the Project Quarm game server. It brings together a searchable game database, DPS meter, spell timers, NPC overlay, combat history, player database, progression tools, and custom alerts. The meter tracks live damage for the player and group, attributes pet and charm damage to their owners, and creates fight summaries that can be copied to chat. Live Maps use zone data from game client files to show player positions, annotations, and NPC spawn points; users can install Brewall-style map packs. With the Zeal mod, the app uses a local Windows pipe for live game state, including target health, pet name, group health, and casting state. It reads the game log and Zeal exports and states that it does not modify the game client or game data. Combat history is stored locally in SQLite and can be exported in a .pqcb backup bundle. Custom triggers can produce on-screen alerts, local sound, or text-to-speech, including optional locally installed Piper and self-hosted Kokoro voices. The app requires Windows 10 or 11; Zeal is recommended for spell checklist and inventory tracker access to spellbook and bag data.
