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.

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

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 ?

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.

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.

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?

Watching this thread closely...

Is anyone doing all the logging themselves, using only AutoCL's option to increase combat log range to 100 yds?

I'm looking for the absolute easiest way to do this... I'd rather avoid macros and more addons than necessary.

I checked for an option to increase combat log range with Deadly Boss Mods that I saw mentioned, but I couldn't find the option. (Or, if SW_Stats has an option to do this, I'm also using that mod already.)

I have been using Loggerhead for autologging and setting my ranges to max. It works great.

I'm doing it myself. Worked fine on Mag and Gruul and Maulgar last night, the WWS data matched up almost exactly with SWS in-game.

If you go back a page or so you'll find the exact commands to input into your config.wtf folder and you can set it to a max of 200 yards.

Does anyone have the old sources for the WWS 1.6 version? They are no longer hosted on the wws site it. Looks like they were removed when he was changing domains around.

The parsing part is specifically what I am looking for. Are there any other projects that parse Wow logs ?

Actually for most purposes, are hostileplayers and hostileplayerpets even necessary to increase the range on? If so it can fit in one single macro.

Anyone have an issue where new entries don't appear in the History page right away? I can refresh all I want, and they don't show up. Then sometime later I'll go check our WWS page and the new entries will be there. Does the history page work in some weird way that forces something other than a refresh to update it?

I think you need to upload some new xml thingy? Someone covered that earlier in the thread, I think.

Please excuse if this is a stupid question but what I'm wondering is how everyone goes about logging their fights. Do you turn combat log on at the start of a raid and generate all the reports at the end? Do you toggle on/off the combat log and generate reports as you go?

Anyway what I'm getting at is what if I toggle on combatlog right as we pull say Morogrim, for some strange reason we end up wiping to him. Is there any way to get an accurate WWS parse for the next fight short of logging out and deleting my combat log file? Because when if I generate a report after that fight it will contain data from the first wipe and also the kill afterwards.

You may have to clear your cache or skip the cache when you refresh to make sure you're not loading an old version of the page.

Hold shift then hit refresh to skip the cache.
