Thread: [Plugin] Combat Analysis

because i want to use the main window with full details after fight for analyse details. If i customize the main windows you can need easy restore them like when only hide main window.

as i stated above yes.

in the new version i get a german Plugin. I use a german OS but Lotro with english version. May you could let us switch them in the menus like tonicbars?

Woops that's cause in the update just now, I'd left in the code I was testing with, so it would have loaded in German for everyone. Good thing you noticed that quickly! :P I just uploaded a fix.

I don't think there's any point allowing you to switch the language in game as the whole plugin is reliant on parsing the combat log in the specified language (which must be the same as the language used by the lotro client).

Hmm okay I'll think about it.

That would be really nice for better understanding i just make a new screenshot:



As you can see i use statistic window as a small in combat window with current dps and in combat time. At the right of the screen you see the minimized main windows. After the fight i restore them and can use all features.

It would be better to hide via logo cause you can place the logo where ever you want. The minimized icon as you can see in the screenshot need be dragged where you want the window when you restore them. Therefore the logo would be much smarter to use.

So I've adjusted the parser function to handle categorizing this case under the right damage type. Should the Fury damage value be recorded though? I haven't done any mounted combat so I don't know if this is important or not.

I can't seem to get the logo to appear on reloads either. It's possible I was mistaking the lock/unlock UI bug for it (also when you loaded data in the logo would reappear and not go away, so it might have been that too).

The Fury damage is part of the total damage, so it doesn't need to be included in the total. I wouldn't really say it's worth recording as its own stat either, but that is just my opinion.

Ok, so it seems like what would be most useful to you would be a way to switch between different UI/Window Configurations with one click/key press, which is what I would prefer to do because I don't usually like to do anything halfway.

But I don't think I have the time to spend adding that sort of feature so I'll probably just add commands to let you show/hide the main or stats windows only. That way you can set up quickslots and put them anywhere you like if you want).



FYI the current list of commands (don't think I documented it anywhere yet) is:

/ca options	Shows the Menu
/ca save	Shows the Save dialog
/ca load	Shows the Open/Load dialog
/ca toggle	Toggles all the windows between visible/hidden (as if you clicked the logo)
/ca show	Makes all the windows visible
/ca hide	Hides all the windows
/ca lock toggle	Toggles all the windows between locked/unlocked
/ca lock	Sets all the windows to locked
/ca unlock	Sets all the windows to unlocked

That would be perfect!

Is there a version of Combat Analysis that can track Deflections by mobs higher level than you? I get an error message every time I get deflected.

Yes, just get the latest version.

Ok great. Thanks!

I downloaded, extracted and placed the most updated version of CombatAnalysis into the Plugins file I created in my LOTRO file today 2/9/13 and when I go to /plugins refresh, I get the message that I do not have the plugin.
Looking through all the forums I have not seen a solution to this.
I recently got a new pc that I built myself so I am not sure if I am missing a certain program required or not but would like any help you guys could give.

There's a couple of things you can check:

1. Make sure your 'Plugins' folder has a capital 'P'
2. Take a screenshot in game. It tells you what folder the screenshot is placed in. Make sure your 'Plugins' folder is in the same folder that your screenshots go into (which should be 'Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online')
3. Make sure that inside your 'Plugins' folder, you have a 'CombatAnalysis' folder. and inside that folder is a file called 'CombatAnalysis.plugindata' (as you may have created an extra folder when you extracted the plugin)

Does CA show damage of entire group, or only for yourself? Is there a plugin that would show also whole fellowship/raid damage? And does it include threat aswell? Those 2 things I'd like to have, first one just as informational, I always like to compare my damage with others and second one I find very important in boss fights, specially with lousier tanks. I'm no pro (yet ), but I do solid damage (am lvl 50 now) and many times when we fought some elites even if I waited few sec before I start shooting I took aggro and had to kite.

Apologies if 2nd part isn't for this thread, but thought it could be connected.

Thanks for help.
