Does anyone know of a combat log splitter that works with the 2.4 combat log format? The old one I had does not seem to work anymore.

My WWS log doesn't seem to show environmental (ie falling) damage. I'd like to see who sucks at using their Tears on Archimonde.

I'm sure I used to be able to see Environmental as an actor, but it doesn't seem to be showing up in last night's WWS log. Is this something that's changed recently, or am I missing something obvious? I've read through the last few pages and can't see anything about it.

Is there a mod or something that will allow me to save each raid as a sep combat file? Its really hard to search through the massive file to edit it for time! Any suggestions would be awesome ty!

I use a mod called Loggerhead (Avail. on WowAce.com) to auto-start and stop my combat log. Each night after the raid, i copy and paste my combatlog to a folder in my documents and then delete the log. I then lable the log and uploda it to WWS.

Not sure if theres a way to actually serperate the combat log recording. It'd probably have to be something out of game. I'd just suggest uploading a report every night and deleteing the old log.

/shrug

I use loggerhead. I feel like a nub but im trying to help our guild out some!

So i should just copy the entire file from C:\World of Warcraft\Logs\wowcombatlog.txt and paste into another notepad file? Sounds easy enough!

Last question, is there a way to upload all the wws files to a website so we can keep an archive w/o using theirs? and cut back on the 10 min qs to pull it up=)

I updated LogSplitter a week or two ago; it's a standalone Java app that will split logs for you (though I don't know why people need it since online WWS splits for you).

There's also some code in there I like to use to try and figure out internal CDs, mob CDs, etc as well as give an overall report of the causes of raid deaths (which won't work until they fix a bug, in 2.4.2)

Boss deaths are still in the combat log, actually pet deaths too, just not player deaths.

That's beside the point. Because that parser is looking for messages in the form of "High King Maulgar dies." And not something like "UNIT_DIED,0x0000000000000000,nil,0x80000000,0xF1300059670007EF,"High Warlord Naj'entus",0x10a48". Which is a tad harder to do aswell, because of changing GUID. So unless someone really want that back, I'm not planning on spending time on it.

This is the NPC ID and remains always constant for the same mob.

5967 hex = 22887 dec = High Warlord Najentus, see High Warlord Naj'entus - NPCs - World of Warcraft

Is WWS becoming a pay-only service? I can't seem to activate a free account. Several friends I've spoken to that had free accounts say that they've been wiped and are now unable to log in.

Hello, my first post on EJ's forum

I didn't try your app because I didn't know about it, I wrote myself a similar app in Tcl (I used to write lots of scripts/app with that so ..) it split your big 200mo WoWCombatLog.txt with one file for each raid (it write a new file when 2 lines are spaced by 2 hours)

compiled .exe file (with zazoutcl): http://bouyou2.free.fr/WoWCombatlogSplitter.exe

Just put it on World Of Warcraft/Logs and run it, it will save your time for upload logs to wws

You'll only get the "in use" message if the WoW client is open. It's deletable once WoW is closed, and if no WoWCombatLog.txt is detected at startup the client creates a new blank one.

It looks like WWS is broken (it is for me and a number of posters on the WWS forums). Is anyone having any luck posting logs currently?

For the posters that have built log splitting utilities, what events are you using to split boss fights from trash? Are you just using the first hostile spell against a specific mob?

Seems like its back up. I just uploaded one.

Does anybody have an idea how to create logs like this: WWS History ?

I don't have the money to get a payed account of WWS, but I would really like to keep our Raid history more than 15 days.
Can somebody please explain me how this is achievable?

I've written a graphical analysis tool for World of Warcraft combat logs, called WowPlot. It is now at a stage where I feel it is
a) ready for some wider testing, and
b) good enough to be useful to people.
Its main focus lies in evaluating time-dependant combat performance in a very free-form fashion, which is in contrast to the mainly statistical approach of other tools such as WWS.

WowPlot requires Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) and is a Universal application.

If that didn't turn you off, have a look at the page / app and I'd welcome any feedback.

That's hot.

I'll mess with it when I'm at my Mac, but one thing I'd find useful right away is a health deficit graph -- incoming DPS is cool, but tank health deficit can be a quicker more intuitive way to see some trends.

I demand that this be fixed ASAP.

I've uploaded a new version of WowPlot which incorporates many improvements (multi-threading / speed improvements, better splitting / parsing, Sparkle auto-updating, loading / saving, ...).

What would this be? Incoming dps minus incoming hps? To be honest, the current plot classes wouldn't work with something like that, although I could imagine transparently overlaying the two graphs in some fashion.

And if anyone more graphically able than me wants to provide an icon that isn't just WoW's overlaid with some text, feel free.

Yeah; the way I'd do it is this:

Start at 0. Every incoming damage event directed at target T adds X, where X is the amount of damage. Every incoming healing event directed at target T subtracts Y, likewise, but the absolute value is never allowed to drop below 0.

Then chart that curve.

I fiddled with it some last night and it was cool. Possibly a bad idea feature request: I'd like to be able to break out all of a stack into individual plots at once rather than trying to carefully select each one.

I tried WoWPlot last night and found a few things odd, probably because I was pushing your program to the limits. I accidentally loaded up a combat log that had 3 or 4 days worth of raiding logs in it, so it was a huge amount of data. When 'zooming' in the plot to be able to distinguish the events, stuff would scroll off the window. There was no way to move the plot left/right to view those things. I also couldn't figure out if there was a way to 'split' the parse and just look at the data from a set of times or between some markers or something.

You've got a lot of stuff being key command driven, and the only thing the mouse seemed to do was select which plot to act upon. It would be nice to do things like set markers by clicking, or dragging from points, at the very least with the mouse.

The program doesn't do splitting or selecting an "active subset" at the moment, I'm not sure how I want to handle that yet. When zooming in (i.e. stretching the timeline), scrollbars should appear.
As for the mouse not doing much yet other than selecting and splitting (via context menu) plots is true, and taken note of.

As for creating a plot for from each stack, I'm not quite convinced that that scales well with 60 plots or so created, but I will think on it.
