Getting the most out of WoW Web Stats - Page 11

Arnath · 05/25/07, 3:39 PM

So until some version of the hosted WWS thing becomes usable publicly, is there some easy way to split logs after the fact? I don't really want to force other people to use the Combat Log Splitter that was linked or something but I need a way to for example just get the kill from a couple Gruul attempts or something. There will be some sort of "splitter" line like "Arnath gains Unending Breath." or something; I just need a way to split a single log file into several based on this split line.

to the config.wtf file does not work for me. I have to run it via macro while in game.

edit: max range is 200.

If you're editing the Config.wtf, I think you actually want:

SET CombatLogRangeCreature "200"
SET CombatLogRangeFriendlyPlayers "200"
SET CombatLogRangeFriendlyPlayersPets "200"
SET CombatLogRangeHostilePlayers "200"
SET CombatLogRangeHostilePlayersPets "200"
SET CombatLogRangeParty "200"
SET CombatLogRangePartyPet "200"
SET CombatDeathLogRange "200"

The /console prefix is only for an in-game macro. Arawethion, can you confirm that this is how you're adjusting your range?

Mine has been extended for a long time, just by editing config.wtf. I'll check the file later.

Awesome, thanks. I think I figured out where my problems came from -- I was experimenting with the NECB range commands a while back and must have left it at the default setting as opposed to the extended one

I went in and edited the settings manually, and we'll be hitting Gruul's Lair again on Monday night so I'll verify it's working as expected.

Yarr, my testing has shown whatever initial changes were on the PTR for combat log it didn't make to the live version which is good.

I have similar issues with combat log ranges.
Even though I run those (/console SET ...) macros at the start of raid - it seems a lot of things are missing from my log. Not only on Gruul, but even Hydross logs lack the full info. What could be the reason for it ?

Unless I'm remembering wrong, you shouldn't be including the SET nor the quotation marks around the numbers when you're typing it in-game, though it's been ages since I changed these settings so I could be remembering wrong.

Does anyone know what is wrong with my wws history page? I usually just upload the new raid/history and I can see the updates. The leo attempts are not showing up on the history

EDIT: Disregard please fixed

Couple of quick questions:

I have a Hunter who happened to name his pet exactly the same as one of our Mages. WWS is picking them up as the same actor so I have a mage doing 'melee' on bosses and other such nonsense.
Is there any way to separate this out?

When you update Actors, do you remove mobs, or leave them in? Is that supposed to be just the list of Players and their Pets, or should I leave Krosh, Hydross, etc in that list? What do folk do with bizarre entries? e.g. "Shadow Word: Death | Mob"

How do I make WWS emit the history page?

I don't believe there is any way to get the Pet and Mage separated if they have the same name. Quickest solution is to get the Hunter to level a new pet, or you could ask a GM to rename it.

You leave mobs in. The weird entries come up due to the way some spell events are recorded in WoW with no owner tied to them.

How do I make WWS emit the history page?

The WWS-History option is a tick box in the Logs and reports tab.

Thanks - that's pretty helpful.

I'm going over more recent logs and it seems the hunter has moved on from that pet - but he now has pets called "Nightbane" and "Spitfire". I'm guessing WWS will be able to tell the difference between "Spitfire" and "Spitfire Totem", but any Nightbane parses might just be SoL. Oh well - at least the parses I care about will be easy to figure out.

I had hunters do this during naxx and they were screwing up the meters, I just told them I wasn't going to post them to the website (I used to show all the individual pages from SWS for the nubs that didn't have it) and they got new pets pretty quickly.

Edit - Over on the hosted WWS I notice that the "timeline" for the raid is full and complete, you can basically walk through the whole raid's log, and if you click something like someone's death it takes you to that point in the log. How come my local copy that I'm putting on my website doesn't look like that? Is that just another one of the perks of the hosting? When I click my local copy's Time Line heading it only shows me about 50 lines of the combatlog with no method to see the rest.

I want to host at lossandil, but also synch with other guildmates. I can't figure out how this works.

I'm able to host my own file by clicking "host it" on the "Logs & Report" tab. (And I get a URL output for the location.) Now I want a guildmate to be able to upload her log of the same fight and synch with my data. Can someone explain how to do that please? Thank you.

You need to pull the guildmate's log into your WoW Web Stats along with yours; I don't think you can merge them after the charts have been generated. Use the Add Log button to add second (and third) logs as necessary.

Yep, it's a hosting-only thing.

Ah, as I feared. So I'm going to have to get guildmates to email their logs to me, or set up an FTP server somewhere, if I want to synch at all?
