Advanced Combat Logging check — detects if the option is disabled and warns you with a blinking ! badge on the icon

⚙️ 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

Download and unzip
Copy the LogRecorder folder to:
World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/
Enable the addon in the character selection screen
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.
