Death analysis tool.
Death Note records the events preceding a death and presents them to you in a comprehensible manner. If you have used Acheron before, this addon has been inspired by it.
How to use
- Check the data capture options in the interface panel and make sure that you are comfortable with the default settings.
- To view the recorded deaths, use the option in the right-click menu of a unit frame. Or, if you have a LDB display, you can also open the Death Note frame from there.
Not so obvious stuff you can do:
- Right-Click on the list of deaths to change the ordering.
- Drag a column separator to move it.
- Click on a time or health column to change its display format.
- Click on a spell or source to highlight all occurrences of that spell or source.
- Control+Click on a spell or source to add that spell or source to the list of filters (removing all the lines with that spell or source).
- Right-Click on a line to send a report to a chat channel starting from that line.
- Shift+Click on a column to paste its contents to the chat edit box.
- Control+Mouse wheel to change the frame scale.
Chat commands:
- /dn or /deathnote - opens main window
- /dn reset - wipes all data

Remember that the purpose of combat log analysis tools is to help you understand what happened, not to find someone to blame
any possibility of an optional minimap-button being added to the addon? tired of writing /dn tbh. and dont want more macros on my action bars :/
Occassional bug: WoW game gets freeze and stuck when scrolling in death logs of a player in DeathNote panel.
PS: I configured the death logs time length to 60, and max saved deaths count to 40.
Detailed steps:
1, Played long time that deaths count has been to max configured count.
2, Open the DeathNote panel.
3, View a player's death logs details
4, Mouse scroll up and down to see each lines
Result:
Occassionally, sometimes the WoW game freezes, stucks. Cannot play any longer.
Does this announce to the raid chat what killed someone? Looking for a replacement for Fatality which is broken and abandoned.
Using version 80000.3-release, I'm getting this error upon login:
I see datastore is being listed too but I don't know what it really means, which is the source.
Thaaanks for the update. I was really sad that this ad don wasn't working.. :)
Exceptional addon, thank you very much for the BFA support!
I'd just like to note, the recent update has caused some conflicts with Weakauras, where it basically messes up the buttons to add/remove triggers. Had to disable this as I can't create triggers for my WA's :(
any hope for BFA update?
requesting 8.0 update.
In reply to BoomBeef:
Thanks for fixing this, almost had to switch to Details! new death recap. ;-)
Is there a similar addon updated for legion to also track things like corruption etc?
I can't seem to adjust the column size. Can't click and drag, can't right click, etc. No option appears for it to be locked. Would like to increase the size of the damage column, but seem to be stuck - any help?
is there a / command I can use to reset data?
Doesn't seem to record data for grouped players who are temporarily hostile (like Garrosh MCs, including when mind controlled yourself) when only Grouped Players is checked.
I have a suggestion. The text in chat when someone dies could include the cooldown X used when he died if he used any. I always check in the log when someone dies if he used any personal cooldown.
This would imo be a really big improvement for the addon.. Thanks for making the addon. I love it.
An example output how it could look like: X was killed by Y's Z () (with Fortifying Brew)
Is there a reason why the Death Note option doesn't show up in any right-click menus all of the sudden?
I can open the addon with the minimap button or command, but the right-click menu option is completely gone :/
It has been disabled by default because of the taint issues it causes. It can be reenabled back in the options.
when can we expect update?
If you don't care about the taint you can enable it in the options. If something isn't working file a bug report and I'll look into it.
