EavesDrop  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.59
by: Grayhoof [More]

What is it? - A simple combat log that displays events similar to how SCT/D would in a log, using icons to display spells/skills. It separates incoming events (left side) from out going events (right side) from misc. events (middle).

What all can it show?
- Your hits, spells, misses, heals, etc...
- Incoming damage, spells, heals, buffs, debuffs, etc...
- Power gain
- Honor, Reputation, SKill, and Experience gain
- Mob/People you have slain
- Combat start/stop
- Timestamps and details in tooltips
- High hit stat tracking for both incoming and outgoing skills.
- Combat Summaries
- Shift+Click to paste events of history into Chat Edit Box

Where did it come from? - Original idea by Bant. Coding help/samples from Andalia`s SideCombatLog and CombatChat.

How do I use it? - Unzip EavesDrop into your interface\addons directory. For more info on installing, please read install.txt. Now just run WoW and once logged in, you will see the EavesDrop in the middle of your screen. Left click the EavesDrop Tab to drag it. Right click the EavesDrop Tab to see the options menu.

FAQ
My periodic damage is not showing up in the combat log or on the screen! How do I fix it? - You have turned off periodic damage on the Advanced Options under Interface options. Make sure the "Periodic Damage" check box is checked, even if you have Damage unchecked.

How do I reset EavesDrop or load another users settings? - EavesDrop uses the Ace3 profile system. By default all characters use the same profile. You may change this for each character using the Profile area of the option menu. You can reset the options for the current profile using the Rest option in the menu.

How do I change the fonts? - EavesDrop uses the games default fonts. EavesDrop now supports ShareMedia, so just select your font from the options menu.

Chat functions.

I would like to second the idea that Eavesdrop could slot into the chat windows.
Also when talking about boss fights I keep trying to shift click logs in Eaves drop to tell my friend what hit me / what i did.
To go along with this feature would be a format options.

IE defualt would be "%t : %d".

So shift clicking an entry on the incomming side would add "12:12am : [The message that you get when mousing over the entry]" to your chat message.

Additional tags could be added, ie
%e = Just the name of the effect.
%n = the name of the person doing the thing to you or the person you did the thing to.
%a = Amount the effect dmg'd/healed for.
%aH = If the amount was heaing - show in "{}" the amount that was overhealed.

So a person could have just a simple "%e->%n[aH]"
Which would say "Smite->Bob[700]" when shift clicked while typing a chat message.
On this note maybe adding incoming/outgoing checks so you can change the format if its incomming or outgoing.

One other thing that would be cool, if Eavesdrop sees multiple messages of the same spell occuring at the same time it could condense them in the log. This condensed version would display the avg dmg done in the same format as normal dmg with a number beside it showing the number of targets hit with that aoe.

When mousing over such entries in the log it would show aditional information like number of crits/resists/absorbs and the avg dmg done by them. and if it is not ungly a list of the names of the targets hit could also be shown - IE 12 spiders 1 spellcaster.

Otherwise a very nice mod Allows me to understand how the fight went very intuitivily.

two simple ideas for enhancement:

1. the really easy one - add 1 more digit of precision on the timestamps. at least for melee classes, being able to see tenths of seconds on timestamps could be very useful in seeing what was going on for a fight.

2. buff/debuff names - instead of the text for a buff or debuff being just "buff" or "debuff" in the window, set the text to the name of the buff/debuff. the color of the line of text already tells us whether it is a buff or debuff.


Thanks for (yet another) cant-live-without mod!

Feature request

I love this addon, but the one thing that's missing from it is the ability to go into the log it keeps of biggest hits/crits taken and delt and pasteing them into the active chat window.

I want everyone to see my2k SS without having to type it all out.

EDIT: Oh and some way to combine mutilate data into 1 hit/crit would be cool

Couple of suggestions

One comment on Tomcenc's idea, I don't think it would be as easy to implement or to read as it currently is. ie: If i'm fighting a dagger rogue with my 2h retri paladin - how will that line up well, and it'll be harder to work out whether you got that heal before or after that person critted you for 2k damage

My wishlist for this mod would be to include Party members damage/healing effects - As an option. Normally you'd only want your own information, but maybe you want to know whether that last heal cast would have saved the tanks life if only you'd started it earlier, or if a boss critted a caster for 37k damage and you had no chance whatsoever... a few more reasons than that of course, but you can see where i'm coming from. If this option also had the added bonus of only viewing your own data while still collecting the data from the party, it would be awesome - ie, i'm looking at whats happening to me at the moment, then something major happened and i want to see what happened to xxx person 20 seconds ago... flick over to a different tab, or select a different option, and you can quickly and easily put together an entire fight

Thanks for your time

I'm using the one currently from wowace that has buff shortening names (not sure if thats this uploaded version)
I was wondering if you could add a fourth option called simple buff names
where it either says Buff or Debuff like how you had it say before changing it to show names.

request

I have a request, can you please add the actual combat damage (player & target) to be toggable. Personally I only want the xp/faction/summaries/honor etc..

I'm content with my SCT for the combat text, I just want these other things out of my chat log into something smaller like this.

Re: request

Sorry zebai, but this a combat log and showing the combat numbers is kind of the whole point =) The stuff you are wanting is the stuff I think is optional and why they are setup that way.

you could make another chat window to do just that.

Re: Re: request

I need an Addon that shows me successful Soulshatter and Soulshatter Misses.
EavesDrop doesn't show me successful Soulshatter and I'm not sure if it shows me Soulshatter Misses like SCT/SCTD.

Dmg is a No Show

I looked and looked for an answer to this question because just asking it is gonna make me feel like a noob. But here it is. I can't get DMG to show up on the outgoing no matter what I do. Incoming and heals are showing up but outgoing isn't working. and for awhile I thought maybe it was cause I had SCT and not SCTD, then I changed all the profiles still no joy. Even the History option shows no outgoing dmg. I can see buffs/buff fades/combat enter and time(but no dmg/heals/oh)/and Honor Gain. I'm lost, any suggestions?

Font changing.

Any chance you could add in an option to change it's font without having to rely on Clearfont or Lua editing to do so.
Maybe have it lookup ShareMedia Library?

2.4...

Hey, Ive been bored, and overly curious.... and.... bored.

Have you had a chance to see what they have said about the changes to combat logs in 2.4?

They talk about no more "text strings" instead they will be sending "events" to the log, yay? Anyway, if I understand what I have read, it is not putting addons like Eavesdrop in default UI, instead its basically in the background, altering the fundamentals of what and how data is sent to the client... Right?

Question is this, if you have read what Slouken has said, and he has said ENOUGH to speculate (I personally cant understand what his posts ever mean, its over my head) How will the new system effect Eavesdrop?

Will we be able to keep the same functionality?

Will functionality be improved?

Can we expect any potential for more features?
