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").

Version 3.50 was initially uploaded by Hawksy on 2006-December-20
Recap up to version 3.32 was developed by Gello.
I have uploaded version 5.07, both for retail and for classic. The only significant change is adding the ability to search for player names (or mob names) in Recap's stored data sets. If you store data sets, you can then ask Recap "Have I ever grouped with this toon before?", and see which data sets, if any, have that name.

(the code in both versions is identical, differing only in the version supported)
Glad to see a version compatible with Classic. Only issue so far is how spaced numbers are when minimized which make the bar rather long. Numbers used to be much closer as they are always under 9999 in classic anyway but things like pet damage % are spaced as well even if not necessary. The spacing between numbers used to be different depending on what was shown which didn't widen the bar as much as now.
In reply to Warrax22:
The Classic version is a simple modification of the Retail version. I had made a decision to not reduce column widths, and to not re-introduce decimal points to DPS and HPS numbers, so as to keep Classic and Retail versions with almost identical code.
I will consider suggestions about how making one or both of those changes would improve game play in Classic -- it is not a decision carved in stone.
Hawksy
Off-topic, but I'm desperate. You mentioned, Hawksy2, that u had a workable version of BankItems for classic. Any chance u could upload it with credit to the original author and state u'll take it down if he makes a classic version? There are many of us pining for BankItems since none of the other inventory addons look anything like BankItems does.
In reply to badco54:
I'm looking into how to make it available.

In reply to Hawksy2:
Yay!!!

Recap 5.06 has a few fixes, and runs in 8.2.5.
Hawksy
I have uploaded a version of Recap that runs in Classic.
It will also run in Retail as 5.05 if you load out of date addons.
Hawksy
In reply to Hawksy2:
In Classic, Blizzard is giving zero as a spellID for Fireballs from whelps for event "SPELL_ABSORBED". One result is that a whelp's Fireball gets promoted to being a healing NPC.
Hawksy
With a few minor modifications, Recap appears to run fine in Classic. Only light testing so far. Version 5.04 does not run in Classic.
Most future Recap versions will probably be released as two copies, one marked for the latest WoW release, and one marked for Classic.
Hawksy
Testing in Classic, seems to work, will give it a few days before putting together a release.
Hawksy
Version 5.04 uploaded for 8.2. Interestingly, the previous version had worked on PTR 8.2 back in May, but when 8.2 came out earlier this week on all realms there were problems.
Hawksy
Version 5.03 uploaded. It is release quality for patch 8.2 (tested on PTR), but since Curseforge doesn't let me specify patch 8.2 yet, it is marked as Beta for 8.1.5. It should run fine on 8.1.5. You'll have to choose "load anyway".
Hawksy
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.
Hawksy
In reply to Hawksy:
Just keep up the great work :-)
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.
Still the best! :-)
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?
In reply to Razorfold:
Good idea. Done. In testing. Not yet released. May be a week or three.
