I know it's only been a couple of days... but I absolutely hate the new combat window and the Simple Combat Log mod is broken. Anyone working on a new combat log mod? Or seen one that works?
yes...but u can;t get rid of that row with the "self" "everyone" buttons. it does not save filter between logins, every time u zone it resets....and so on.
A "Simple" Combat Log addon would do much less than b4, but there is still a need for one :)
I deleted the other predefined filters aside from "Everything", modified and saved that one, and it loads with no issues every login for me. True, you can't seem to remove the extra bar on top of the window, but with the tabs hidden, I don't see it anyway unless I mouse over the area.
I am currently using 3 tabs for General,Guild,Whisper. No matter what I do every time I log out the settings revert back to show everything in the tabs regardless of what settings I saved.
I am using Prat along with Fane. Is this an intended thing from blizzard side or basically the settings do not get saved per login?

I can forgive it for the black bar at the top. What's really annoying is the fact that if you zone in/enter an instance it takes about 5 minutes to parse through the entire combat log again.
The only thing I'm missing in the new combat log is that there is no target filter =/
I like to filter mine based on myself and target, and as far as I understand, it's not possible with the current set of options *sad panda*
What I'm missing is filter out the stuff like "Frost" "Physichal" "Shadow" etc.
I don't need to know if it's shadow or not, I can already see it by the spellname itself by telling what kind of damage it is.
While the blizzard combat log is very good, and it appears you can change pretty much everything - their interface for changing it just plain sucks.
In addition to the above, it would be nice if you could change the colors. Its great that shadow is purple or whatever, but its not always readable as the purple color. Pally heals are holy, but the piss yellow color is awful.
What you can do with the blizzard one is great for those who know enough about LUA and the system to do it themselves, what about the rest of us shlubs? o)
I was asked how I produced my little addon that sets the strings for the combat log, so I figured I'd post it here for everyone to see. It's a little addon called "LCLFixer" (That's "Lanerra's Combat Log Fixer" :P). I'm reposting it here for convenience's sake.
Anywho, here you go:
TOC:
Code:
## Interface: 20400
## Author: Lanerra
## Title: |cffff6000L|rCLFix
## Notes: Restructuring of Combat Log text output.
core.lua
Another thing, about the combat log range.
It used to be much shorter and I want it the way it was before 2.4
I know you could add these lines into config.wtf in the WTF folder and change combat log range.
SET CombatDeathLogRange "60"
SET CombatLogRangeCreature "50"
SET CombatLogRangeFriendlyPlayers "50"
SET CombatLogRangeFriendlyPlayersPets "50"
SET CombatLogRangeHostilePlayers "50"
SET CombatLogRangeHostilePlayersPets "50"
SET CombatLogRangeParty "50"
SET CombatLogRangePartyPet "50"
But now this doesn't seem to work anymore.
Anyone knows the commands have been changed or how I can set the combat log range to this again?

Curse PremiumUnder Colors, tick everything, and under Formatting, turn on Braces, and it'll look fairly close to SimpleCombatLog.
I don't think there are plans to update SimpleCombatLog since the default UI can be made to look fairly close to it.

Curse PremiumThere's a temporary fix for that: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=3405161599&postId=34047357499&sid=1#6
It works, I have it myself, it's just a addon.
I miss SCL :(

Type
/script TEXT_MODE_A_STRING_VALUE_SCHOOL = "";
to hide the magic school type.
Look here how to put up a small .lua file which applies your settings permanently:

Would it save if I type that?

Curse PremiumAnywho, here you go:
TOC:
Code:
LUA:
That's it, pretty simple. Produces something like this:
"[Your] Aimed Shot hit [Kyron] Physical 3426. 04:38:28"
Something like that. Buffs show as:
"[You] ++ [Aspect of the Hawk]"
and
"[Your] [Aspect of the Hawk] --"
Just make sure you save the LUA as "core.lua"
Tada :)
This is mine and all that works is hiding the spell school.
The rest is not working, any ideas what might be wrong?
I got those lines from http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_2.4.0/Consolidated_API_changes/Guide_to_the_New_Combat_Log#Formatting_.26_Coloring
Also I would like to change "(Missed)" into "(M)" and "(Dodged)" into "(D)".
Hope someone can help, thanks!
