LogRecorder

✨ Features

• One-click toggle — left-click to start recording, left-click again to stop
• Advanced Combat Logging check — detects if the option is disabled and warns you with a blinking ! badge on the icon
• Right-click to fix — enables Advanced Combat Logging automatically without opening any menu
• Live pulse animation — a red glow pulses around the icon while recording is active so you always know the log is running
• Fully draggable — place the icon anywhere on screen, position is saved between sessions
• Tooltip status — hover the icon for a full status readout (recording state + Advanced Logging state)
• CVar watcher — if you toggle the option from the in-game menu, the badge updates instantly

⚙️ How It Works

LogRecorder calls the native WoW API:

• LoggingCombat(1) / LoggingCombat(0) to start/stop the log
• GetCVar("advancedCombatLogging") / SetCVar(...) to check and fix the advanced option

The log is written to World of Warcraft/_retail_/Logs/WoWCombatLog.txt, ready to be imported into Warcraft Logs or WoW Analyzer.

📦 Installation

1. Download and unzip
2. Copy the LogRecorder folder to:
   World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/
3. Enable the addon in the character selection screen
4. Log in — the icon appears on screen immediately

❓ FAQ

The icon looks like a square in older WoW versions?
This is a known quirk of ActionButtonTemplate on some clients. The addon already patches this at load time. If you still see it, try /reload.

Does it conflict with WeakAuras / ElvUI / other addons?
No. LogRecorder creates its own frame with a unique name and does not hook or modify any shared frames.

Can I resize the icon?
Not yet — planned for a future version. Currently the icon is 46×46 px.
