LoggerHead

Table of Contents

Description

LoggerHead is a an automated combat log enabler. It allows you to select via a simple GUI interface which Zones and Instances to automatically enable for logging. LoggerHead has a LDB module for those running a Data Display. Left Click toggles logging. Right Click opens configuration screen. Enjoy.

Notes

Development on Github:Source, releases, and issue tracker are now on Github.

Classic support: Classic (and Classic TBC) are not supported. It might work, but it probably won't. Contributions to add support are welcome!

New in version 4: Loggerhead dynamically builds dungeon and raid information instead of relying on external libraries. What this means is that your configuration menu will *ONLY* show instances and difficulties that you have discovered/entered. Better yet, it also means that LoggerHead will work with new dungeons and raids without having to be updated!!!

Please use the Github issues system to report issues; issues reported in comments on WowAce or Curseforge may not be addressed in a timely manner!

LoggerHead has a few problems with the icon sometimes displaying incorrectly, which all stem from a single cause: LoggingCombat() does not just return true or false, but also sometimes nil to indicate the state is not known yet.

LoggerHead always treats this as false (logging not enabled) but LoggingCombat() returns nil both when it is transitioning from on to off, and from off to on. In my testing with advanced combat logging enabled, it returned the unknown state for up to 12 seconds after being changed.

You can trivially trigger this behavior by clicking the icon twice quickly.

I guess it's worth noting that the Blizzard /combatlog slash command suffers from the same problem (in the message it prints to chat).

Does this AddOn turn on the Advanced Combat Logging option automatically?

LibSink-20 is outdated. Manually update from https://www.wowace.com/projects/libsink-2-0 should fix this.

It is an oversight. FWIW, I prefer using the GLOBALSTRINGS translation, so I'll likely be switching both to "|cffff0000"..COMBATLOGDISABLED.."|r"

More of a OCD question but anything but is there any reason why on line 111 it isnt text = "|cffff0000"..L["Disabled"].."|r", Instead of the default string?? it doesnt matter since i just change it but it bothers my ocd that it doesnt say disabled when i log into the game :x.

I've looked at the LUA file for this addon and have it fixed for 3.3.5 to include Ruby Sanctum.

How can I upload that so that we can all benefit from the change?

Yes. I'm working on it as we speak. For the time being you can find the new instances you've entered listed under the "unclassified" config menu section.

The version of LoggerHead I used before Patch 3.1 used to work with Broker2Fubar which allowed me to see the status of the logging, on or off, on fubar. Current version, 3.1.0.95 only shows minimap icon, which I use SexyMap to hide. I wonder if you could re-enable that option to show the logging status on FuBar.
