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.

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).

A version of Recap for patch 7.3 (4.93) is now available.

This version includes a number of fixes that seem to significantly reduce the chance of "script ran too long" errors, at least for my testing.

I am in the middle of making improvements to the popup panel for loaded data sets, and there may be some inconsistencies especially for the green and white "Total" buttons (Show Group Total and Show Non-Group Total) on the load panel. I hope to have these inconsistencies cleared fairly soon, and be able to release an update.

I'm having new issues with this version: the saved fights panel always shows blank for me, despite Recap saving fights (according to spam to chat log + increased memory use).

Also, it doesn't show anything for me in Last Fight window, always just blank while in raid. Making it hard to see what's going on for me during raid :/

The Last Fight is indeed blank. I must have glitched something accidentally, and not noticed. I will fix as soon as possible.

Saved fights panel being blank is not something I'm seeing on my toons. Not sure what the issue is there.

Fix for empty Last Fight uploaded, should be available soon.

I'm still working on the popup panel for Total for Loaded data sets.

coani, I might need to get a copy of your saved data set file in order to figure out what is going on.

Hi Hawksy,

7.3 is here and Recap is throwing many errors.

Also I meant to report that I've had some [i]Script ran too long[/i] errors too. The one I clearly remember is when you die falling into the elevator on Maiden of Vigilance, it's such a long way down that the script runs too long waiting for combat to end! At least I assume that's why, there is another fight which does the same thing but I can't remember now.

I have found this also. It is a change in Blizzard's arguments for SPELL_ENERGIZE, and I have not so far found out what the extra argument is for. For the moment, I am ignoring the extra argument. Version 4.92 will be out almost immediately.

Version 4.91 now available.

Several changes have been made to address the "script ran too long" problem that was happening in Nighthold, and perhaps elsewhere. Recap had been storing all combatants seen, whether they took part in combat or not. This was to avoid creating + deleting + creating + deleting the same combatant repeatedly. Now Recap will delete any combatant who has done no damage, taken no damage, and done no healing, and was first seen at least 15 minutes ago. This significantly reduces the number of combatants stored. In addition to warning of possibly too many combatants upon login, Recap will now also give that warning at the end of any fight within an instance. You can now adjust the number of combatants on the Options / Settings tab (default 4000).

Related, the warning on total saved data set size is now set using the same slider (default 80 Mbytes).

With my particular computer setup, 5000-6000 combatants is about the limit within an instance such as Nighthold. Outside instances, 7000-9000 combatants is about the limit.

The DPS per Gear calculation has been tweaked. The reason is that DPS appears to increase faster than iLvl. Testing suggests that for Legion raids there is approximately an extra 2% damage per iLvl. The DPS per Gear calculation has been changed to adjust for that.

My char is a lock, Affliction,

Not sure what I was doing.. think I had finished a fight and just mounting up to move off.

Anyway - hope it helps..

Thanks for the report. It's while Recap is saving the fight, and moving orphan pets back to their owner. I'll look into it. I assume you have selected "Merge All Pets into One Pet"? I may have missed modifying code to take the merging into account.

Yes.. happened again yesterday..

I have Merge all pets to one set, and merge pets with owner set.

When it happens... seems like it completely stops Recap.. have to reload UI to get it working again.

When I added code to move orphan pets back to their owners, I didn't test with "Merge All Pets into One Pet" turned on. I've fixed the code, and am testing it. A new version will be posted when testing is done.

Version 4.89 now available. A few fixes. There have been a number of changes in order to assign pets to owners more reliably. It was tricky. There might still be an orphan pet who escapes, but I haven't seen one in over a week on my toons.
