DamageMeters

Version: 5.8.9

by: twobits [More]

Maintainers:
Up to 5.8.3 was AnduinLothar
Up to version 5.0.0 was Dandelion

Summary:
DamageMeters monitors damage and healing done by and to yourself and other nearby players. It keeps a running total for each player and displays the information as a bars chart in a frame on the screen. It is perfect for real-time comparison of the various members of your party or raid. At any time the text results can be output as "says", to raid or party chat, or whispered to another player. Many console commands exist for customizing the meters: type "/dm help" for a listing.

FAQ:

Q: Why the "-AL"?
A: Dandelion, the orig author, has retired from WoW. AnduinLothar (me) modified v5.0.0 from Cosmos because that version works with English, German and French clients. AnduinLothar has no long term plans to enhance functionality and would gladly hand over maintenance to someone else, but decided DamageMeters had a large enough user base that it deserved to be updated to use the 1.12 addon communication API.

Q: MY DM WINDOW DISSAPPEARED!
A: Use "/dm resetpos". This should make the DM frame visible and put it against the right side of the screen.

Q: What happened to the "Reset Each Combat" option?
A: It was made irrelevant. DamageMeters now keeps in essence two full sets of information: one normal, and one set that applies only to the latest fight. This second set, the Fight set, is what provides the information for the DPS, HPS, DTPS, and HTPS quantities. Those quantities are basically the normal quantities but divided by the duration of the fight. If you turn off the "Visible Quantity\Show Fight Data As Per/Second" option you have what is in essence the same thing as what you had before with the "Reset Each Combat" option.

Q: Why can't DM just automatically sync?
A: v5.1.0 has a BETA auto-sync option. This will sync when you lave combat once every three (3) minutes. In previous versions this was left out for the following reasons: Primarily because sync'ing takes a long time. There is just a lot of data to transmit, and since WoW likes to boot clients that send data too quickly DM transmits it slowly. If you are having problems with frame lag or being disconnected randomly you should disable auto-sync and do it manually after boss fights.

Ideally, all you'd have to do is just change the display routine to merge the bars, while still keeping pet dps separate. Then you would be able to see how much of the damage is done by the pet, like another section when you ctrl+click on the player.

Anduin posted the answer already under the addon description:

The reason that you can see your own pets OK but not other player's pets has to do with message categories. There are specific category of messages that indicate they come from YOUR pets, but other people's pets come in the "random friendly player" category. It would be possible to compare names to the list of raid member's pets, but there is no guarantee that the pets have a unique name. (For example, we actually had one pet in our raid named after another hunter!)

So the reason you can merge your own pet data but not others' is because the addon can't determine which pet belongs to someone from the combat log. Multiple pets named "Cat" or "Wind Serpent" will throw the whole thing off.

DM already checks for HEALEDOTHERSELF = "%s's %s heals %s you %d." which parses "(.-)'s (.-) heals (.-) you (%d+)."

Can you figure out what event it's casting on? Perhaps it's not registered fro that syntax if it's on a new event.

Update: PoM is fired on CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_BUFF and the caster is always shown as the name of the target. This is a blizzard limitation and there is no current work around that works for multiple possible casters.

@Hellaciouss: No current plans to add blocked/mitigation tracking, but I'll think about it.

Ghelion A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Suggestion: Make Prayer of Mending work for HealingMeters Combat Log Info: In the combat log it should say something a long the lines of Ghelion's Prayer of Mending heals (person) for (amount). Couldn't you just take Ghelion from the beginning and add it to his certain amount of healing in the combat log? Why is this so hard? Thanks.
