Debuffs have a 40 yard limit for logging, no matter what you do.

Okay, to be honest, I haven't bothered reading up every page in this thread (oh noes). And I just wonder if anybody know if maxing the combat log range will improve the range of spells which NaturEnemyCastbar displays?

Etc if somebody sheeps within 200yards.

I'm willing to bet you could try it in-game and verify it within a matter of seconds.

How about merging water elemental data to show in owners stats?

If you have only one frost mage in your raid, it's easy, the person generating the WWS just have to affect the Water Elemental to the proper mage.

If you have more that one frost mage, you can't know from the log file which damage came from which elemental, and which elemental is the pet of which mage, as their names are all the same.

Hmm.. I just started trying to use WWS today, and I'm having a problem with the /combatlog function in WoW. When I use it, and get into some fights, it doesn't record anything. Is it possible that the default file name to be stored in has been changed by a mod, and I need to change it back?

I use WWS ALOT. Like every instance that I raid. If you go and get CLsaver it will automatically turn on and off the /combatlog when you enter and exit an instance.

Also after every night we have raided, I will copy the wowcombatlog (where the WWS is written to) and rename it to wowcombatlog - <boss name> - <date> (Ex. wowcombatlog - 3/6 SSC - 12032007. The 2 reasons you want to do this is because the log files can become VERY large (some of mine got to 20MB) and this way you can archive the data for future reposting and ref.

Just my two cents.

Might consider just using the V2 Beta client and update utilities. In addition to storing more information, it also will automatically handle the logging and, when updating, zips the logs up and archives them for you. It wasn't working for a while, but Molda managed a work-around for the addon itself to avoid the throttling of chat channels (can find a link to that on the WWS forums).

Also, seemed like Lossendil was MIA for a few weeks, but looks like he's back and working on catching up on things that have happened while he was away, so hopefully will see some movement on that in the near future.

Read the first few pages of the thread. Reloading UI or triggering garbage collecting does not trigger a write of the combatlog. The only thing that does it reliable is a logout.
WoW buffers arround 100kB of data (from my experience) and writes that once that buffer is full. If your editor is complaining it can't get a write lock, you should get a better editor as you don't need a write lock to read a file.

So if you only do small instances of soloing you might have to do quite some combat before you can see something in the log without a logout. In 25 man raids it normally will write out a new part every 10s of typical combat.

Is this new in 2.3? (Or maybe the Mac client writes it differently) My combat logs usually don't write until I completely exit the game and any crash will lose the log. After 2.3 it seems to write whenever I log out to the username/password screen, but not to the character screen.

Hello, I have been using CombatLogSplitter since forever to make wws reports, but old versions don't include Mount Hyjal and Black Temple bosses, so i updated the source and recompliled it. Also, added a new feature. Everytime you make a manual marker, it will split next time the boss attacks also.

Never tried 2.0 yet, but don't think this has anything to do with it. It's just the log cut, not the actual parse.

Thanks for updating it Mind. I hadn't touched the code or the used the application for months now. I'm suprised someone is still using it.
Out of interest, why you using it, and not the splitting the server is offering?

For version 2.0, and its wowchatlog. Yes, it's more difficult, as I don't think the writing of the chatlog and combatlog is synced. On top of that, for the logs to actually make sense you would have to split till after the looting was done (new feature of 2.0). Thats not that easy to do.

I'm wondering if you take the full chatlog, and just a part of a combatlog if it will still work.

Simple, I want to keep all reports on our website, and without a paid account on wws official site thats not possible.

Is there any way that WWS (or any other separate add on) can give a graphical indication of tank health over the course of a fight. All the data is there in the combat log - even if it's just a relative "incoming damage at time X vs. heals landed at X+Y" type analysis, I think it would be pretty useful with time logs.

Under the current system when I'm tracking my (tanking) deaths I have to check for the timestamp of my death in a log, then click to each healer and see what abilities they'd used within the last 10-15 seconds of a time stamp. Not very efficient. I understand there are mods like Expiration, but I think an interactive graph would really drive home the post-mortem discussions with healers.

Forgive me if this already exists and I just don't know about it - as previously stated I rely on nit-picking through WWS to see what everyone was doing in the last 15-20 seconds before tank deaths and my current process feels really inefficient given the wealth of easily accessible information.

Another reason for hosting them yourself is that the performance of their site has been pretty pathetic lately.

You can filter for your tank / involved / and shift click all possible event types to get a summary of damage, heals, and (de)buffs, I agree that graphical indications are nice and my own favorite for that is Assessment.

I'm currently just starting to use wws on our raids. We are currently doing Archimonde and I'm trying to figure out which of my players uses health stones and heal pots and their insignia of the horde to avoid getting feared into the fire. While health stones and heal pots are very easy to find, I wasn't able to figure out how to see if and how often any player in my raid used insignia of the horde without browsing each line of the combat log for it.

Hey,

I found somewhere (I think in the other WWS thread under general) a link. You could parse a WWS Log for a Warrior and it would generate the TPS of this person.

Is there any other "external" Tool which works on WWS Logs?

Cause this would be interessting for me, to "Getting the most out of WoW Web Stats "

It's been a few months since this thread got rolling, so when I ask this I'm assuming the information in the first pages of the thread is out of date.

That said, have there been any breakthroughs in log splitting for self-hosting WWS reports? I'm trying to get the same sort of functionality that WWS-hosted reports provide, without the ass-tastic (of late) performance of their hosting.

you could try the following little program i've made for splitting my own combatlogs:

dCLS

it is a very simple program written using the .NET framework (you probably already have it on your pc, otherwise
check the microsoft homepage, it is free and used in many programs). there is no installation, just unzip the files
to a folder and copy the combatlog file into that folder (the name of the file must remain unchanged). start the
program and choose the instance yout want (if you log has data of more than one instance, just start it again and
choose another instance), hit enter, thats it. dCLS will create a folder and store each bossfight in an own file. i tried
to make it recognize wipes (it will split multiple tries to multiple files) while also being precise at fights with multiple
phases and mobs (such as kael'thas). it always worked fine for me, but we are only in ssc thus far. the program should
work with all available raidbosses though. if it does not work, send me a pm or something, i just zipped the program
from my harddrive. i hope that is what you've been looking for.

Thank you very much for this, Zorak. It's working perfectly for me.
