2.4 Combatlog info

[Gzipper]

Hello.
Ive been around looking but failed to find any information about the new combatlog rly looks like. All the masks is clear but theres a few things I dont understand.

This for example:
3/24 00:16:17.359 SWING_DAMAGE,0x00000000009C205D,"Erfragôn",0x518,0 xF13000619023956A,"Dawnblade Blood Knight",0xa48,454,1,0,0,0,1,nil,nil =>
<date> <type>,<id casting>,<casting name>,<casting mask>,<target id>,<target name>,<target mask>,<dmg>,<?>,<?>,<?>,<?>,<?>,<?>,<?>

The last 7 fields what are they for here? And how do crushing entries look like? There are some more wierd fields but I start with this one. Maybe any of you have a good source for it aswell. Im rly sorry to bother you and you might not be able to help but I havent run a raid on the PTRs yet.

It works something like this:

myframe:SetScript("OnEvent", myframe.OnEvent)
myframe:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")

function myFrame:OnEvent(e, ...) 
  if (e == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED") then
    time, event, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, 
    arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7, arg8, arg9, arg10 = select(1, ...)
      ... do stuff with arg1-arg10 based on the value of event ...
  end
end

  ...

Similarly, here's an extract of the CombtMonitor2 event handling to show it in action (Note that CM2 is an Ace3 addon so that's where the implicit RegisterEvent comes from):

CombatMonitorEvent.OnEnable = function(self)
  self:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED", "Parse")
  _db = _cm.db.char
  self.myGUID = UnitGUID("player")
end

CombatMonitorEvent.Parse = function(self, _, time, event, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, ...)

    ...    
    local _, _, prefix, suffix = string.find(event, "(.-)_(.+)")
    
    if (prefix == "SWING") then
      if (suffix == "DAMAGE") then
        e.damage, e.damageType, e.resisted, e.blocked, e.absorbed, e.crit, _, e.crush = select(1, ...)
      elseif (suffix == "MISSED") then
        e.missType = select(1, ...)
      end
    elseif (prefix == "RANGE") then
      if (suffix == "DAMAGE") then
        e.spellID, e.spellName, e.damageType, e.damage, e.resisted, e.blocked, e.absorbed, e.crit, _, e.crush = select(1, ...)
      elseif (suffix == "MISSED") then
        e.spellID, e.spellName, e.damageType, e.missType = select(1, ...)
      end
    elseif (prefix == "SPELL") then
      if (suffix == "DAMAGE") then
        e.spellID, e.spellName, e.damageType, e.damage, e.resisted, e.blocked, e.absorbed, e.crit, _, e.crush = select(1, ...)
      elseif (suffix == "MISSED") then
        e.spellID, e.spellName, e.damageType, e.missType = select(1, ...)
      elseif (suffix == "PERIODIC_DAMAGE") then
        e.spellID, e.spellName, e.damageType, e.damage, e.resisted, e.blocked, e.absorbed, e.crit, _, e.crush = select(1, ...)
      elseif (suffix == "PERIODIC_MISSED") then
        e.spellID, e.spellName, e.damageType, e.missType = select(1, ...)
      end
    elseif (prefix == "DAMAGE") then
    ...

This is precisley what I wanted. Thank you very much Satrina. I must have been blind/lazy/google-incompetent because its been on wowwiki all the time.

Btw Im really looking forward to CM2. I use the CM2 beta already and can't live without it .

[Moshzilla]

Where can I get a copy of the CM2 beta ?

[Gzipper]

CM2 beta is broken in p2.4. no need to get that. we're all waiting for the new one

[Satrina]

Yep, and my work revolves around government fiscal year end (March 31), so guess who barely has time to log in for raids right now? =)

[Moshzilla]

Does that mean we can expect a new version in April ? :P
