AutoCombatLogger
Overview
Season of Discovery: The new Blackfathom Deeps is under Instances in the settings. Normal is the old 5 player instance only in regular Classic and 10 is the new version in SoD. The game client considers the new BFD a 10 player instance/dungeon and not an actual raid.
AutoCombatLogger automatically enables or disables the combat log based on location. It's specifically tailored to control the logging based on the raid name and difficulty.
Logging can be controlled for the following locations:
- Raid (Can be customized per raid, raid size, and difficulty)
- Instances (Can be customized per instance, current only)
- Arenas (Can be customized per arena)
- Battleground (Can be customized per battleground)
- World
- Garrison
- Brawler's Arena
Currently, you cannot customize logging in the world.
It also provides an LDB launcher and a minimap icon to control it.
Options are set under Interface Options or typing /acl.
for some reason I'm constantly having Invalid logs while in Kara on Nightbane. perhaps when going to Bane some some it thinks we are leaving Kara? really weird issue.
In reply to AshotJP:
The addon just toggles the logging so if the addon is affecting it then it must be disabling logging. Have you noticed if the logging is turned off at any point when you are in that area? I'll see if I can test it at some point. If you have the minimap icon or LDB display it will show if logging is enabled.
Addon doesnt seem to be logging when joining arenas. :(
In reply to seamanliquer:
I haven't done arenas in years but I will try to see if there is a reason why it would not log it. Is this Classic or Retail?
Do you think it would be possible to create an option for Instances to have a "Heroics" option where it only logs all Heroic dungeons (for BC Classic?)
Currently on WCL https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/ they added a category for Heroics, and it would definitely help making sure things are setup right for people when it comes to it. Thanks for the great addon!
In reply to DomDashSix:
When I get a chance I will see if I can add some easy way to toggle them. It is one code base for all versions of the game so I would hope to keep it simple. It may be easier to just provide a toggle that enables all Heroics, Mythics, etc.
I don't see kara on the list for the bcc version
In reply to Darhole:
It will be there with the next release which will be very soon.
I tested this on the BC Classic client by making sure Advanced Combat Logging was enabled, and I deleted my entire Logs folder - had the addon enabled - and no combat log was automatically generated for me.
My test was walking into MC already in a raid and with this setup by getting teleported in, pulling the Molten Giants, and then running out of the instance.
I tested two automatic logging configurations (AutoLoggerClassic https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/autologgerclassic and the WA Auto Raid Combat Logger https://wago.io/vWDmosv5U ) and both worked as expected here.
Just wanted to let you know as I was previously using this in WoW Classic and it seemed to work just fine, made a recommendation to use for BC Classic and got a report that logging didn't work so followed up and tested it myself to confirm it didn't work for me either.
Edit for more information: We tried this with the default option of "Yes" as well as "Custom" with Molten Core (and all raids) selected and neither option worked. Again this is for BC Classic. Thanks!
In reply to DomDashSix:
I also have experienced these issues. ACL doesn't work for me in BC Classic which is a shame since it was flawless in Vanilla Classic. Have done similar tests as DomDashSix and have had the same results, where ACL does nothing even as the only addon enabled whereas WA:s with similar functionality and manual combat logging toggling works fine.
In reply to Matski4:
Same, doesn't seem to work atm :S
In reply to VolwrathTheFallen:
When I activated debugging I get "Bad map name!" prints for all instances when I log in:
E.g: "Bad map name! Dire Maul for 429 is nil"
In reply to VolwrathTheFallen:
I didn't have time to test it for TBC. I'm releasing a new version that should fix most of the issues. I am not sure if the map ids for the new TBC content are correct though.
In reply to Talryn:
After testing 9.0.8-bcc and walking into Kara I can confirm that it did in fact log, but I have all logging set to enabled. I'm assuming one thing that will need to be added is add Karazhan as a raid option here
Edit: I did also test it on Live BC Classic realms / Pre-patch by zoning into Molten Core and pulling Molten Giants and then zoning out and exiting game and it did create a log. I didn't test any of the other raids, though.
In reply to DomDashSix:
Thanks for the testing. I think I just need to figure out the map ids and it should be ready for TBC. I tried to get what I could off the beta. Karazhan was in testing and I don't know if the id I found is correct.
In reply to DomDashSix:
I'd also like to follow up that Karazhan seems to be missing from the list of raids, but regardless it's still broken even for instances that are listed as well as when the option for enable logging for all it still doesn't work on Karazhan. This was a more recent test on the Badge of Justice BC Beta realm - and as mentioned before the Molten Core test was done on Pre-Patch on live realms. Thanks!
In reply to DomDashSix:
Apparently the map ids I took from the beta were not correct. I have ran around and figured it out. Putting out a few release which should fix the issues.
Any chance that the LDB could display when the logger is active in the future?
In reply to sephirithane:
Currently, every five seconds the addon updates the icon of the minimap and the LDB. I'm not sure what broker you are using but I don't think most support icons. I could add an option to update the text. You may want to create an issue to track it but we can work something out to add text to it.
Any chane to get this working for Classic Worldbosses ? Currently Azuregos in Azshara and Kazzak in Blasted Lands. Turning it on by entering the zone would be too much but maybe when you mouseover them or something ?
