Recap records damage, healing, and other combat-related events in the area around the player. Recap tracks buffs, debuffs, and the use of abilities.

When installing Recap, please first remove any existing Recap folder from your "World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns" folder.

If experiencing problems with Recap, sometimes it is a bug, and sometimes your saved variables file may be damaged. It is always worth seeing whether removing the saved variables file fixes the problem. To do that, exit the game and go into your "World of Warcraft/WTF/Account/<account_name>/SavedVariables" folder and remove the "Recap.lua" and "Recap.lua.bak" files. There are also per-character saved variables files in the ".../<account_name>/<server_name>/<character_name>/SavedVariables" folders.

If you believe that Recap is properly installed and enabled, but you can't see the Recap main panel, try typing "/recap". If that doesn't work try typing "/recap centre" (or "/recap center").

QUICK START GUIDE: If you are new to Recap, or wish a quick overview, check out Recap_Quick_Start.rtf. This file is inside the Docs folder inside the Recap folder.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: If you wish more detailed information, check out readme_FAQ.txt for all of the features I have added or modified. For answers about earlier (and possibly obsolete) features of Recap prior to version 3.50, check out readme_332_FAQ.txt by Gello. These files are inside the Docs folder inside the Recap folder.

I'm testing a new version that removes the "Synchronization" function. Would this cause a problem for anyone?

This would save a bit on memory usage.

Version 5.02, for patch 8.1, is available.

Fixes, plus improvements in setting the auto-save level for automatically saving the last fight as a data set.

Thanks for the great damage meter! One question though...

Would it possible to hide the recent action buttons on the main Recap window if Recent data mode is disabled?

Good idea. Done. In testing. Not yet released. May be a week or three.

Thank you for the debug info. I haven't had this happen to me on PTR. Looking at the code in Recap and AceComm, there is no obvious way for this error to occur.

Any information about what situation might have caused this? Does it recur?

I was on a low lvl lock just getting ready to start playing and it popped up, so I sent it along.

Version 4.99, a BETA version for patch 8 (Battle for Azeroth) has been uploaded. The release version for patch 8 will be numbered 5.00.

This version has had considerable testing in the open world, but no testing yet in BfA dungeons or raids.

This version still works for patch 7 (Legion), though WoW will flag it as out of date.

Hello, it's working nice, I tested it today on a raid dummy in SW beta. Only some lua errors I'm posting you to see (also sometimes you need to manually end fight to see results):

The errors look to be internal to the libraries in Ace3. I am not seeing these on the PTR. I will continue to monitor.

Best dmg meter addon I'm using since the very beginning. I hope it will stay usable and be updated for BfA. Keep up the good work!

It will be kept updated. I have new beta code that continues to work for 7. It will need testing on 8 (BfA), which I have not yet had a chance to do.

Very basic testing, it works on BfA (play test realm). When a bit more testing has been done, I will make a Beta version for BfA available.

Version 4.94 has been uploaded, and should be available soon.

This version greatly reduces the occurrence of "script ran too long" errors. Hawksy has been running with over 22,000 combatants and 165 Mbytes without encountering this error so far.

This version also fixes and improves the popup panel for combatants, group total, and non-group total (for both main panel and for data set load panel).
