Hi,

I've used Nurfed CombatLog (based on HitsMode) for a long time and it seems to be doing it's job pretty good. At least it looks really, really nice compared to the standard bloated one.

I was wondering, is there already an Ace alternative to the Nurfed Log or would anyone be interested in doing it?

Regards, Oskar

I picked one up that was built on Parserlib... Simple combat log or something similar? I forget where I found it now! It's much better than Nurfed or Hitsmode.

Here it is!

I'm working on the next major version of SCL, which is Ace2'ed.

Still can't decide on how to set up the interface for easier customization though..... this part makes me feel headache :(

Rophy, I rather like the interface as is now ^^. The problem with the combat log is that there's so many permutations of events. Damage to player, damage from player, damage to party, damage from party, damage to mobs, damage from mobs ><. And they overlap.

I guess a table of checkboxes ^^. Maybe color boxes and checkboxes?

I am a SCL addict, thank you Rophy for it ^^
If you need help for Tests, i'm here :)
For the config panel, i would really like a panel with options to enable/disable all things (maybe smthing like sct config ...)

As the name stands, I started this as a "Simple" Combat Log, it starts at less than 200 line of code, and then the customizaton makes it almost 1500 lines now

I was hoping not have to create a configuration GUI on my own, but seems I'll need a table with rows and columns of checkboxes for easier configuration of "name filters per type filters".

Well... I think I'll just release a Ace2 SCL with not so easy to use drop down menu, and then add a load on demand configuration addon after that.

I hope that you will add that one to Svn cause id gladly run some tests on it ;) once it's around test phase.

Does SCL display resists, absorbs, things like that?

It's meant to completely replace the default Blizzard combat messages, without losing any information, so yes.

Why is druid shapeshift 'gains' listed under 'DOTs on me'? If I disable that, I don't see my shapeshift 'gains' anymore. Aura fades correctly show shapeshift 'loses'.

Also, an option to add the current druid form at the end of the message would be nice, like "X hits you for 10k damage [Bear]". Caster form could be omitted.

The event categories are messy, I remember "DoTs on me" actually includes DoTs, HoTs, buff gains, buff fades etc.

I've decided not to bother categoriing the events myself, so in the next version you'll see default Blizzard event lists groups there.

For a [Bear] at the end, that's not hard to add, but I'm afraid that's out of this addon's scope. So I won't add that, but I can tell you where and how to add that in case you really wants it.

With the latest SVN I could not find how to disable mana gains from blessing of wisdom.
The gains section in filters is unchecked, and I cleared the template message for gains, but I still receive this spam.
Is it possible to disable it?

+ I have not found how to redirect combat log from chat frame 2 to another frame. I.e. to disable log in chat frame 2 and only showing it in chat frame 3, for instance.

I just switched from Nurfed CL to SCL and I really like it.

One bug though:

Color Skills by Element seems to do nothing for me as a rogue.
Instant Poison Procs for example are colored by skill (yellow in my case).
I then tested it on a few dust stormers in sili and even their lightning shield/cloud is just plain yellow.

Color skill by element should work now.

mikaD: what do you mean by "cleared the template message for gains"? Do you mean you set
the format of gain to an empty string, and the message still appears? That's quite impossible so I think I don't get what you meant.

You don't "redirect" logs to another chatframe, instead you set what to be shown at ChatFrame3 by alt-rightclick at ChatFrame3. To disable ChatFrame2 logs, check 'suppress log' and disable all events or uncheck all filters.

Yes, I set format for gains message to an empty string and still get BOW spam.

I am sure that yesterday I cleared that string, though I just cheked it and it seems the format is restored to default.

I try to test gains on my hunter.

I tried to redirect log to cf5 and get an error

[2006/08/21 21:55:51-93]: SimpleCombatLog\SimpleCombatLog.lua:285: attempt to index field `events' (a nil value)

All mods up-to-date

Done a bit of testing.
Was unable to redirect log to cf5. No effect at all, just errors.
Though in cf2 pet happiness gains works like charm.

Line 285 error is fixed.

I'm still dunno what's wrong with the gain message though.

Gains worked perfectly (tested only pet happiness).
The problem was that SCL only affect cf2. Attempts to use other frames resulted to line:285 error spam and no SCL messages appear in those frames regardless of settings (I have those errors in cf2 as well, but at least there was combat log messages).

then just try the newest version SCL, I hope everything is fixed.
