GameSlayve CombatLab v0.2.0

Initial Experimental Companion Addon Release

GameSlayve CombatLab is now available as an experimental standalone companion addon for GameSlayve Keystone Party.

CombatLab introduces Blizzard-native Mythic+ combat tracking and run performance analytics while remaining separated from the Keystone Party core addon architecture.

IMPORTANT:
CombatLab is NOT a standalone addon.
GameSlayve Keystone Party is required.

NEW: Standalone CombatLab Module

CombatLab has been separated into its own addon/module architecture.

Benefits include:

• Cleaner addon organization
• Reduced Keystone Party core complexity
• Safer experimentation environment
• Optional advanced combat tracking support
• Easier future expansion and debugging

Keystone Party continues functioning independently without CombatLab installed.

NEW: Blizzard-Native Combat Tracking

CombatLab now uses Blizzard-native combat meter discovery systems instead of traditional CLEU combat log parsing.

This experimental architecture focuses on:

• Reduced combat taint risk
• Lightweight performance tracking
• Safer UI behavior during combat
• Cleaner addon separation
• Lower dependency complexity

No Details code was copied or integrated.

NEW: Automatic Keystone Party Integration

CombatLab automatically integrates with Keystone Party live runs.

When Keystone Party detects an active Mythic+ session:

• CombatLab automatically starts combat tracking
• Pulls are tracked automatically
• Combat summaries are generated automatically
• Finalized combat stats are patched into Keystone Party history entries

No manual setup is required during normal gameplay.

NEW: Pull Tracking System

CombatLab now tracks:

• Pull starts
• Pull ends
• Pull durations
• Pull damage totals
• Pull DPS values

Pull summaries are used to build overall run performance statistics.

NEW: Death Tracking

CombatLab now tracks:

• Player deaths during runs
• Death totals attached to history summaries

Death statistics are automatically displayed in Keystone Party run tooltips.

NEW: Damage + DPS Tracking

CombatLab now supports:

• Total Damage Done
• Overall Dungeon DPS
• Pull DPS tracking
• Combat time calculations

Damage statistics are automatically patched into Keystone Party history entries.

NEW: Healing + HPS Tracking

CombatLab now supports:

• Healing Done
• Overall HPS
• Blizzard-native healing meter extraction

Healing statistics are integrated into Keystone Party history tooltips and run summaries.

NEW: Interrupt Tracking

CombatLab now supports:

• Interrupt counting
• Blizzard-native interrupt meter discovery

Interrupt totals are attached directly to Keystone Party history entries.

NEW: Keystone Party History Integration

Completed CombatLab summaries now automatically patch Keystone Party run history entries with advanced combat statistics.

Current tooltip-supported stats include:

• Deaths
• Interrupts
• Damage Done
• Overall DPS
• Healing Done
• Overall HPS

Framework groundwork has also been added for:

• Dispels
• Slow Kicks
• Additional utility metrics

NEW: Combat-Safe Finalization

CombatLab now includes:

• Delayed out-of-combat finalization
• PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED handling
• Combat-safe summary patching
• Safer UI interaction timing

These protections reduce combat-lockdown and protected-function issues during active gameplay.

NEW: Experimental Meter Discovery Tools

CombatLab now includes experimental inspection/debug tools used for Blizzard meter discovery and validation.

This groundwork helped confirm working Blizzard meter categories including:

• Damage
• Healing
• Interrupts

Additional categories currently under investigation include:

• Dispels
• Damage Taken
• DTPS
• Utility scoring

NEW: Companion Addon Detection

Keystone Party now detects whether CombatLab is installed and provides a friendly startup message when advanced combat tracking is unavailable.

This keeps CombatLab optional while making integration clearer for users.

UI + Stability Improvements

• Improved combat-safe UI handling
• Improved delayed callback behavior
• Improved tooltip integration
• Improved history stat patch timing
• Improved run finalization safety
• Improved modular addon architecture
• Improved debug visibility for testing

Experimental Status

CombatLab should currently be considered:

• Experimental Alpha/Beta functionality
• Safe for live testing
• Intended for guild/friend/community testing
• Under active development and tuning

Future planned systems include:

• Dispels
• Slow Kick detection
• Damage Taken
• DTPS
• Defensive tracking
• Avoidable damage tracking
• Utility analysis
• Expanded historical run analytics

Thank You

Thank you to everyone helping test the early CombatLab architecture and experimental Blizzard-native tracking systems while the project continues to evolve.
