Q u o t e:
Combat Log Revamp!

---

Man, I've been sent deaf by the cheers. And I'm all the way over the other side of the planet!

Hugz 'n stuff,

Me.

P.S. Is it wrong of me to still think of you as Sexy Sambo?

Q u o t e:


The combat log ranges are the same. You'll find that the GUID decodes into the type of creature, which can then be matched against data in the WDB cache ... not that anyone would ever try to decode that data. :)

---

Ooh, GUIDs actually mean something? Wonderful news. Thank you!

---

Q u o t e:
*grin* You'll have to thank AlexanderYoshi who convinced me it was a good idea. :)

---

well, in that case... Onya Award to Alex for doing the talking, and to you for listening.

And, I'll take the lack of response to my other question as a 'sure, just don't let my wife hear you call me that' ;)

Hugz 'n stuff,

Me.

Q u o t e:
Oh, the combat log text file format changed as well, dumping the text format in favor of a comma separated event format for easy post-processing and analysis.

---

WoW Web Stats should like this.

But I'm wondering, there are often times that I like to be able to go back and look at the raw (text version) of combat logs when reading them on WoW Web Stats, will there be a way to generate the log messages we see in game from the ones saved to the dumped log?

Fan-tastic! I've already been writing CombatMonitor2 with the expectation that I'll be able to rewrite the parsing module in a much simplified way. Looking forward to it!

Q u o t e:
Looks like I know what the first thing I need to put in the 2.4.0 "It's Patch Day!" sticky is...
Congrats!

Which of course no one will *ever* read.

They never do ^_^

So, I have to ask.

Does this mean totems will be properly attached to their owner? (Including the Elemental Pets which function oddly as they are a guardian of the totem and not the shaman).

Currently, there is no real reference to the owner of the totems, thus they can't be parsed.

Slouken, this looks wonderful, mods that deal with reading the combat log will be a great deal better now.

Are there any plans for some new features, while you're at it? Adding in information like threat to each attack would be wonderful and lead up to a built-in threat meter down the road. It's such a guessing game trying to figure out exact threat on the wide variety of skills performed in combat. It would make for a nice holiday present! :)

good initiative , this was about time... sending text and then mod parsing it , was very innefficient.

My only concern is will the filters work properly now? right now in my combat window I have Friendly Buffs in one color and Hostile players buff in another. I can disable my friendly buffs and all the people in my raid get the hostile players buff color. this is annoying to no end cause if I wanted to see my fellows buffs I would have kept friendly buffs on.

hoping this is in topic if not where do I go to get this addressed

Could this be preparation for an integrated WWS-Style reports module?

The ability to generate rich post event reports without using 3rd party software (and paying their fees)would be a worthy and welcome enhancement to the game.

Can you give an example of what this will look like in the combat log...just pick some random spells or attacks and use your name.
