This really sounds like a FixLongString issue or whatever that Module is called that ships with SWS. I had this problem for a long time and disabled FixLongStrings and everything was fixed. Try disabling that if you have it enabled.

The module does something with combat log so other Damage Meters (DamageMeter in particular) doesn't parse correctly and misses all kinda of data. Remove it and your DamageMeters should be alot more accurate. That is what worked for me when all my Damage meters were showing different information.

Can you look into tracking power word: shield casts? And if the priest is running recount themselves, add the shield amount (modded by +heal of course) to their heal totals. It would go a long way toward figuring out how much healing is being 'hidden' by traditional tracking methods. Attributing the prayer of mending to the proper healer would be great too (through mend watch type tracking maybe?)

A minor note with the death tracker- While viewing the information on your personal window, you see the relevant combat log messages from the player, and then the player's HP at the time of that message. When you report to raid, however, the output is missing the player's HP at the end of each message, which is a somewhat important part to leave out, I think.

Tracks heals for anyone in the death tracker. If there is no heals for other people its because they haven't received a single heal in the past 15 seconds or past 25 events. Yes, I wish to add some colorization I was just at the moment was doing it completely uncolorized/reformatted.

Whoops, thanks that was something I forgot to add there when implementing that feature!

I'd love to try out your addon, but I can't seem to get it to load!

I have the most recent version from Wowace downloaded and enabled, I also got GraphLib and Threat-1.0 for good measure. The mod is enabled on the login screen, as are the libraries. I'm running other mods like Fubar, Bartender3, BigWigs, etc, all of which have been thoroughly updated. I turned off other mods like SWStats.

When I boot up the game, there's no LUA error (yes, I have them enabled). There's no minimap icon. Typing /recount does nothing. Am I missing something?

Uh, no idea if you have absolutely no errors else than make sure you have it installed right in your addon directory (heh had a friend complaining exactly what you said then he was like wait I'm an idiot the addon is accidently in another directory).

BTW getting reports on the Ace 2 forums it is SWS Fix Log Strings resulting incorrect data (though it should be loaded after it :-/)

Hehe, I checked all those things before posting here. It's in the right directory, and enabled.

Is there some external library I need? How does the mod usually show up when you start the game? I'm baffled right now.

I've fixed a few of the addons that include ParserLib to ensure SW_Stats is loaded first. If you are still having major discrepancies let me know and a list of Addons you are using.

Oh I should say if you are using SCT you will have to disable either SCT or SW_FixLogString for now till I can get Grayhoof to fix SCT

Another way to fix it is to rename the SW_FixLogString directory to !SW_FixLogString

Right now for me it seems to be suppressing my sct damage read out. Any quick way around that, or can I just not run them both?

I've now included a batch file called

Fix_SWFixLogStrings.bat

Run that and it renames the directory of SW_FixLogStrings to !SW_FixLogStrings

Should work if the directory is renamed testing now though.

Edit: I don't use personally SCT so have to check.

Hmm after further inspection this won't work. I'm coding up something a little more general that should though.

I tried your great addon out this afternoon for the first time, and while soloing with my hunter it was really great. However, later on we did a party to kill off the Gronn in BE (Gruul's sons), and even with one of my party members standing within 5' of me (both Shadow Priests) I only got damage data from myself and the tank; a bit later the healer accidentally hit something and got on the damage display too.

Our 5th party member was an affliction lock but I suspect he should be showing on the general main damage display too even if he was mainly dotting?

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, help me with the bags.
Igor: Soitenly. You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I was talking about the luggage.

Yes, all damage should show up. This sounds like the SW_FixLogStrings issue, update to the latest recount to make sure it doesn't affect you.
