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.
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.

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 :-)
Hope this can help you to fix one of my fav addons:

In reply to Tenyks57:
Fixed.

Can we expect an update for shadowlands anytime soon? your addon doesnt seem to work anymore, and I like recap by far the best of all combar tracking addons
In reply to Forge_User_20414294:
I am doing Beta test in Shadowlands, but so far the Beta does not seem to recognize addons, at least not for me. Maybe I'm failing to do something. I will investigate further. I intend to update Recap for Shadowlands.
Hawksy
In reply to Hawksy2:
I have made a test version that works in Shadowlands Beta. Only very lightly tested so far.
Does not yet identify combat allies from Shadowlands and add them to player's stats.
I have not yet uploaded it.
Hawksy
Hi there, any chance your fine addon to be updated for Shadowlands (prepatch)? I hate to use other dmg addons, your is the best. Please, pretty puh-lee-a-see? Thanks :-)

In reply to Hawksy2:
Hey, great, I'm very glad to see you're working on Shadowlands' Recap! Thank you!
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.
Hawksy
(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.
