few updates:

08/03/08
- Bug fix: stats ratio in tooltip should show the correct amount.
- New filter: Overheal.
- Bug fix: tooltip should now appear correctly.
- WowCardioraid can now parse Wotlk(8714) combatlogs correctly (with the new overheal data).

08/02/08
- Overheal detection has been added.
- Bug fix for hpdeficit feedback
- In the detailled view, a new effective hps line est now associated to the total hps output
- New tooltip: when hovering a unit name on the time line viewport you can now get a quick stats breakdown for this unit.

I just got over a tough functionnality:

Beta 11:
- Tracking for PoM, Earth Shield and Lifebloom available. You can see the real sources for all these spells.
- You can also choose if you want to get stats with spell affiliation, or not on the stats breakdown (WWS style calculation)
- Internaly: a lot of Performances tweaks have been done (memory tweaks)



Anyway i could use feedback on this, if you have time.

Very excellent tool, well done! I'll never have to browse the combatlog in WWS again!

A few suggestions:

a) player and pet damage seems linked permanently. I can't seem to see the player dps alone and pet dps alone.

b) for 10 man raids, I'd really like the ability to zoom the icons in size (as well as spread them apart.) Basically, I would like to be able to scale the timeline so it fills my screen horizontally (as now) and vertically (by enlarging the icons.) (I'm on a 1920 x 1280 screen.)

c) I'd like to be able to select multiple bosses at once, and see them on the main graph. I.e., label the orange lines with what boss it is.

d) I'd like to be able to reset the nominal time to zero anywhere within a boss range, but definitely at least the leftmost orange line should be set to a nominal zero time (thus the boss fight events are timed from the start time of the boss fight, not the time in the log.)

Thanks again for an excellent tool!

I have a few more suggestions, though their use might be pretty specific for different encounters:

- The ability to select the linestyle (hps/health/dps) independently, at least for players / NPC's. For example I'ld like to see DPS from certain members, while seeing the life-bar of mobs, for example shiled-orbs at KJ or Sentinel at M'uru.

- The ability to view events for more than one mob (for example for all shield orbs) not only for a single one at a time

I used my imba paintskills to show you what I mean: ImageShack - Hosting :: shieldorbdmgmf9.png

For the players I selected DPS Lines, for the Shieldorbs Healthlines. Then I Copy-pasted the 'show events for: Shield Orb' for every orb into the same picture...

By the way: Great work on the new upgrades! Loving it more an more.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the parser I've been waiting for!

My guild attempted Hydross last night, and I can see several areas to improve in, based only on a few seconds glance. Given a few hours time analyzing the results, I think we might be able to beat him this time!

At the moment, the only things I can wish for are:
- Ability to stretch dps-based graph vertically, with a scale along the left axis
- Ability to seperate and select attempts or fights
- Compare parallel timelines (for instance, one attempt against another attempt)

Those are wishes only... you've got the most useful parts covered already!

Thank you for your feedback. That's really appreciated and motivating

-Cranch: Stats breakdown is really basic at this time, the goal is to provide more detailled stats, but, for the moment I'm focusing on the timeline rendering.
I'm also actually in a new design process, but this will take some times. This will probably allow you to see multiples selections at one time.
Options to set the plot size/scaling is in the todo list.

-Slumgon: Nice ideas, I think I can add them. Stay tuned.

-Strijder: Ability to seperate and select attempts of fights is already In. Unfortunatly, Hydross is not set as a boss yet. The good news is that you can do this yourself:
On the timeline (or in the UnitTree), bring the context menu while you are over Hydross, then call the 'Options for: Hydross' menu, check 'Set this unit as a Boss' , click OK: WowcardioRaid should now find all the Hydross fights.
Note that this parameter will be saved.

You may have a time stamp error in your log since there is basically no size limit, except your ram^^ (I have successfully loaded 250mo+ log). A good way to avoid timestamp error is to disabled the automatic clock syncronization in windows calendar, because if the internal computer clock is modified while a raid session this can cause glitches in the log.
Actually the WCR stops loading the log when such an error is found, I will add a way to simply skip possible errors.

Note also that if your log have more than 15 days registered, it stops loading too. This means that if your bt session is in the same log than an old one you made more than 2 weeks ago, you will not see the last session, and you may need to use a log splitter (I've seens some floating around here or on curse).
The next WCR build will extend this limit to 100 days.

I don't think it was either of those; the same file loaded into WWS with no problems.

However I also think the problem occured around midnight. Could that be the cause?

Well, i think that WWS doesn't take care a lot of timestamp integrity since it generates stats only. Wow cardioraid, due to the timeline based feedback, has to deal with this a lot more.
Anyway I don't see why 0:00 could generate some error, but i also can't say there is no bug in the program^^ , so could you, please, send me a zip of this log at tixu.scribe[at]gmail.com ? thanks a lot.

Beta 12 available.
I didn't have the time to make all I wanted, but, this build will fix some nasty bugs, and add few optimizations and functionnality. I have also added a support for current Wotlk Beta (8905).

- Log duration increased to 100 days (keep cool with your memory
- Filtered spells are also shown when they are interrupted or dispelled.
- Eventfilters can be used in EventList (but one at a time; full filter support for the list will come in the future)
- Bug fix for events with extraspell
- Log errors now have better feedback.
- Bug fix for some parsing possible errors (unit name with " or , on their name)
- Detection of Pom, LB, ES has been optimised (note: in wotlk, these spell are credited to the original caster directly by blizzard, but it's sometimes buggy apparently)
- Better support for Wotlk. (note: classes are'nt fully recognize yet)
- Support of overDamage (beta wotlk 8905)
- Fix for auras (beta wotlk 8885)


Download links are in the first post.

I finally managed to get the log file that was too big zipped and ready to mail when I notice you have version 12 available.

The log file works in the new version so I'll hold off mailing the log to you unless you still want it.

Hi everybody.
I have finally took the time to update my tool


- Full support of wow 3.0 log and wotlk beta. (you can still load old 2.4.3 log format)
- A lot of wotlk boss have been added to the combattracker.
- Activity and dps for all units have been added to stats tooltip
- Lot of internal fix and optimisations
- It's now possible to set focus on more than one unit. (thank's for the suggestion Slumgon)
- Full support of Filters in Eventlist
- Full support of filters in stats calculations
- The spelllist is dynamically (re)filled while choosing a unit in the stats panel for quick access
- New interface design, and more flexibles possibilities

Quick example of stats filter:
Say, for example, that you want to see how your healers are using HoT on your tank.
Load a log if its not already done, then, go to the stats panel (the third icon at top left, labelled 'Stats').
Select the tank stats line, then bring the popup menu and select 'set focus'. the name of the tank is now hightlighted in orange color.
Now the stat reflect only what happens on your Tank.
Now click on the filter tab (at top right, next to the unit tab), and in the tags list, check 'eventIsPeriodic'
now you can see only all periodic effect on the tank
If now you want to see the specific effects of, for example, Renew, bring the spell filter panel just near the tag panel, then, 3 choices here:
- search the renew spell in the list
- type the first letters of renew, this will filter the list and bring Renew in evidence
- Or better, in the stats panel (at left), click on the healing column of a priest, this will bring all healing spell used by this priest in the selected period of time.
Then check the Renew spell, and the stats will be automagically generated with the full filter.



You can find the tool at the same place than usual.

WowCardioRaid beta14 Available.

- Added a button to toggle the stat view between Players and NPC
- Unit who are not related to the raid should not be shown in the graphic view and stats view anymore
- Affiliated Unit (pet, totem etc...) are now placed as child node in the stats view for better feedback
- Stats filter have been improved
- Its possible to temporary add some random npc tracking in the combat list (without notifying them as Boss). To do this, open NPC section the unitTree, open the wanted NPC node, then focus a specific instance of this NPC and choose 'add/remove this unit in combat list'. Grayed NPC are not raid related, so no combat will be found.
- Few optimizations
- Bug Fix with aura in Detailled view


Again do not hesitate to provide any feedback you wish

This is a great app, and I just have a quick question: is there any way of exporting the values that it produces to, say, a comma-separated text file? Or could that be added in the future?

Yes, I will probably provide a way to export some stats datas but its not the main purpose of the tool since it exists web based parser (like WWS, or stasiscl) which are done to handle this far better.

I have took the time to make few improvements .

beta15
-Removed wow2.0 compatibility for optimization. WCR now only work for wow3.0+ logs
- Added a tracker for some uncommon affiliations. DoomGuard, Army of dead, at the moment. If there are other pet/npc that are not correctly associated to their owner, please let me know.
- Added a color code in the spell list to quickly view the common usage of spells (Yellow = damage, Green = Healing, and Purple for Buff/debuff)
- Up to date spells list and boss list are also included

I'm trying this out after wws wouldn't give me half the information I needed, found some excellent info in it that tells me a lot about some of our new recruits (eg. inner fire falling off mid patchwerk, not refreshing commanding shout).

However, I'm on a relatively low-res computer screen (laptop). Is there any way to scroll down on the details page once the buffs/debuffs list gets relatively long? (eg a tank)

@keltzed: yes, multiple filters are in the todo list, this should not be long now
@Cartega: it's now possible to scroll the aura list with mousewheel, or pgup/pgdn key

new beta (16) is up, with a lot of improvements:

- It's now possible to save the log in a proprietary packed format (*.wcr) for faster futures usages or web upload if needed. If a time-period is selected, only the period is saved, otherwise it's the whole log.
- Wcr now support the 'open with' (or command line) windows system possibility. You just need set *.wcr file to wowcardio in windows 'open with' menu.
- It's now possible to scroll down NPC list in main view, and Aura list in detailled view with pgup-pgDown key and/or mouse wheel (the cursor must be over the name column in this case)
- Added a time-Mesuring tool (alt - Left Click)
- Added a DamageOverkill filter, to quickly see killing blows
- 'Enchant' and 'Environmental effects' are now shown in the spell-list
- Added a (very) rudimentary stat-export in the stats view.
- Hpline calculation for NPC has been improved. It's also possible to say to WowCardio to save the estimated Hp pool for a specific mob in NPC unit options (boss are saved by default)
- Dps/hps lines now have relative ratio for same type of NPC.
- Pressing Esc while parsing stop ... the parsing.
- few Memory optimization and internals improvements.

Very impressive, Onyki. Some very neat ideas in how display stuff. =)

A roughly similar (but simpler) tool for Mac OS X (the first version of which I released on 2008-05-24) is WowPlot.

Thank's for the kind word Unravel. If I can find a mac, I will take a look on your tool^^

new version of WCR anyway

07/03/09 b17
- Added a combat-Block headers. Use Space/backspace keys to cycle through recognized combat-blocks
- Added multiple and saved filters. The default filter is the current dynamic one, it can be saved in fixed filter. Note that Multiple filters logical is 'OR'. You can activate/desactivate filters with their check box. For structural reason, enchants and environnements spells can't be saved anyway.
- Preferences and options are now saved through sessions. (in WCRfolder\data\prefs.ini)
- The activity calculation has been adjusted. Activity column has also been added in the stat view.
- Added a mitigation column in the statview. This can be use to evaluate the amount of resist/absorb/block.
- All npc of the same type can now be temporary added directly in the 'boss combatlist'
- Added an log anonymiser. Press Ctrl-Alt-A to change all players/pets names.

Onyki,

I'm very interested in paraphrasing your code in Java, as my WoW analysis pet project needs some combat log parsing and visualization capability. Just from a UI standpoint, it looks like things would be pretty easy to copy over (any MFC or other unique-to-windows classes you use have reasonably similar Java equivalents).

The perks for you and the WoW community are platform independence, and the possibility of embedding your application as an applet in a webpage.

Are you planning on making your source code available?

Beta 18: Just a quick fix for a problem with new player GUID format in wow 3.1.


@Ullas, I have not yet decided what I will doing with the sources.
It's still in heavy developpement, so I wish to keep them closed for the moment.
Anyway I will probably release them in the future if i can find the time to document (and to clear) them correctly.
