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").

Thanks for update!
Recap rocks :-)
Version of Recap for Classic Burning Crusade (2.5.1) has been uploaded.
Hawksy
Recap isn't working for classic TBC, could we get an update?
In reply to chronos5220:
Without going into great detail, what are the issues? Just to save me a bit of time checking into them.
Hawksy
In reply to Hawksy2:
I'm getting an error on line 3152: attempt to call method 'setbackdrop' (a nil value)
In reply to chronos5220:
Thank you. I will look into this.
Hawksy
In reply to Hawksy2:
Updated.
Hawksy
Still the best :-)
In reply to zaliboze:
Thank you.
Hawksy
Updated for 9.0.5, including a fix for instance difficulty texts.
Version 5.21 has been uploaded. Quite a few changes and fixes. The most significant is that I decided that absorption of damage, such as by a spell shield, differs from all other kinds of 'miss', and should count towards the DPS of the attacker. An additional improvement to the assignment of pets to owners.
Hawksy
In reply to Hawksy2:
Kudos! Keep up the good work :-)
Still the best!
Version 5.20 uploaded. Seems to work as intended, though the amount of testing in Shadowlands Beta has only been moderate.
Hawksy
In reply to Hawksy2:
Thank you for another update! If I see any trouble I'll post it here immediatelly. But last Recap version worked without any problems so I dont expect any :-)
In reply to zaliboze:
I fixed quite a few bugs that I guess never revealed themselves for you. Recap assigns most pets to the correct owner, but still misses very occasionally.
Hawksy
In reply to Hawksy2:
I play several classes/specs, mostly arms/fury warrior, but also retri, frost dk and frost mage (with pet), but I really had zero visible problems so far. I guess you code guys know where to look. Thank you :-)
Version 5.19 uploaded. Works in Shadowlands 9.02. Only lightly tested. Not tested in Classic or Retail. Does not yet properly assign Shadowlands combat allies as player pets.
In reply to Hawksy2:
Woow Recap is finally working again! Thank you mate :-)
