Ok, I've barely had time to mess with this (as in: 0; I installed it and have logged in, but not for more than a few minutes), but what documentation I've seen is sparse. Obviously, it is new and Artack can/will flesh it out as time passes, but let's see if we can make some use of this in the meantime.
SW_Unilog is "A "Unified" Combat log - sortable, and able to apply special filters combined with regular expressions. Can't find what you want to know in the log ... now you can."

From SW_UniLog_Filters:
It looks to me like this may have some potential for simplifying many of the parses that we love, or providing an easier method of "Did xxx really happen?" (Was my crush blocked?? did my autoattack get resisted??)

Just reading the examples makes my head swim. The same thing happens when I try to read some Perl code.

Does this offer functionality over something like SCL? Functionality that people would actually use? Becuase so far, SCT is great for displaying exactly what I'm interested in, and no more.

nevermind need to play around more

Can you at least put up a screenshot so we can see what it's like?

I downloaded the current version and am able to change the source and target filters, but I don't see any action filter area to edit. (nothing to do with an action filter at all)

So I can get messages about a person, or damage done on a person from the target, etc, but unless I can get the action filter working it will be of limited use. (about as usefull as tracking another person using SCL)

This sounds alot like Omniscience (http://www.rdx-raid.com/node/10) from RDX, which has been a main reason for me considering signing up for RDX for quite a while.

I'll have to play around with it this weekend.

Well it's a regular expression.
Of course I have to admit that I've always hated reg exps, I *always* have to look up what I'm actually doing there...

Well the potential is there and since I don't have RDX it would be usefull if I could figure out exactly how I can change the action filter.

How exactly is Minni the mage dieing on krosh?

Source Filter
/sotMinni

Target Filter
None

Action Filter
Spell%sShield?heals?Greater%sFireball?

Would show all heals (done to him, and by him), damage he is taking from krosh fireballs and when spell shield was stolen/gained/faded.

However, I still can't find a way to modify this fabled action filter he documents. The only way this thing works for me at the moment is to basicaly track everything that is happening according to your source and target filters. Which isn't bad, but not what I expected from the read me.

I didn't get it figured out either. I took some SSes for whatever they might be worth, but I neglected to upload them anywhere before going to work today.

So I played around with this in Gruuls lair the other day and I got to say it works well.

First a screenshot:


The screenshot doesn't really do it justice, but apparently I only hit the screenshot button once.

There is no action field, but there is the ?? field. Clicking this gives you a list of checkmarked symbols. These symbols equate to events. For instance removing the checkmark from the green ++ would make it so that no friendly buff gains are shown. You can pretty much look at the log and determine what each symbol does.

The mod uses all the data obtained from SWStats (including shared data), so you can peruse any data it includes.

For instance. I wanted to see damage, healing, and shieldblock gains on the MT
Click the source field at the top and a textbox opens up. I typed in there /sotAsuran Asuran being the tanks name and /sot means source or target. Asuran being the target of heals and damage. Source because I want to see shield block gain/loss. Typing this in populates the scrolling pane with all the information I want. (possibly more) You can then go into the ?? field and remove checkmarks until it shows only the information you want. (I didn't feel the need most times)

Just want to see damage taken by the tank from Maulgar? Source field Asuran target field Maulgar.

Now lets say you want to check on the Krosh mage tank. Just change the source filter to /sotHiznor and you get all the info. Can be manipulated same as before.

The only thing I wish it had was health values of the target at each event like expiration. Still great to check what killed people at a glance. (easier interface and "noise" easier to handle than expiration at this point)

quick notes:
/swl
-Brings up the window if you close it.
/swl font #
-Changes the font size #. (Though it doesn't seem to persist)

Is there any possible way to filter out the Info section? Going on what chase said, if i just want to see the shield block gains, inc healing, and inc damage and nothing else, is there a command to only show those and not other gains such as Bloodrage or other buffs?
