About Honor Kills Counter

Purpose

Primarily what HKC does now is record various statistics and the results of battlegrounds and arena matches. For example, it records who won the match, how much damage you did, your position on the scoreboard relative to others, etc.

It also records how many times you've killed your opponents for the day. This information used to be much more valuable, and before diminishing returns were removed, this addon accurately estimated your honor gained for the day.

Battleground Statistics

Statistics recorded for each battleground entered include: time of day, victors, duration, a "premade score" which is a rough guess as to how much of either side consists of a premade (ranges from 0 to 100), AFKers, your killing blows, damage, healing, and which character you played on.

Filters allow you to display records that only match specified criteria. For example, you can specify to only display records of games played during certain hours of the day.

The HKC window will open when you open your PvP window. (default key is 'h') Type /hkc for command line options.

Notes:

If your client crashes, all tracked kills and statistics for that session will be lost. Reloading your UI or logging out will force a save, if you care enough to.

The premade score is determined by the following algorithm: for each server represented in the battleground, if server population >= 20% of the battleground team size and greater than 2 people, then add this value to the score, minus (100 - value * .1). Obviously this is only an estimate and it is impossible to very accurately determine if and how large a premade is. However the larger the premade score, the more accurate it will be. If you get a low premade score, it does not necessarily mean that the team has a premade - it could just be chance that many people from the same server queued at the same time. Furthermore, some battlegroups will end up with more false positive low premade scores than others. You will have to use some judgment.

Any player who has zero damage, zero healing, and has been in the battleground for over five minutes is counted as an AFK.

  • Compatibility with WoW 4.0.x
  • Lifetime kill histories removed as they were pretty much worthless and took up memory (albeit not much)
  • Daily kills now reset when zoning after midnight
  • Bonus history log will now only display bonuses equal to or greater than 5 due to bonus and kill honor both sending the same loot message to the client

    I really like the addon, but this is one problem I would very much like to see "fixed".

    The name of the addon is "Honor Kills Counter", however, the one thing it doesn't do, is just that. Could you add how many honorable kills you got in "that" bg to the BG Statistics Table? As one of those trying to get the 100k achievement, getting an overview of where I'm able to get the most honorable kills, and how much I have gotten, etc, would be extremely helpful.

    Also, there isn't any other addon that tracks honorable kill (that is still being updated), so it's kind of "needed", so to speak. :)

    Anyway, keep up the good work!

    Forgive me if you have addressed this I tried to find out by looking in the archive of posts.

    Is there anyway HKC can show stats for wintergrasp?

    Also, is there a generic all round stats for all pvp encounters?

    Thanks and Happy Halloween.
  • #111
    No and no. The data this addon collects comes from the battleground scoreboard, and Wintergrasp doesn't have a scoreboard.
  • #112
    OK Thanks for the info.

    The BG stats window is not covering my pitbull player frame. I believe it's a strata issue. I don't think I've changed the strata of my pitbull frames, so maybe an option to change HKs(?)

    Thanks :D

    You'll have to link me a screenshot or be more descriptive, because I'm not going to install every addon that has a conflict with one of mine.

    Addon doesn't work for me. I'm getting the following error. There are HKC-Messages during a Battleground, but it seems nothing is recorded.

    You must be using a non-English client. I neglected to remove some things from the non-English localizations which is causing the lua error.

    Also the honor capture is not going to work for non-English clients until I get somebody to translate certain strings for me. Namely the HKC_HONORGAIN4 and HKC_HONORGAIN5 strings, which are "You receive currency: Honor Points." and "You receive currency: Honor Points x." I really should have stated that the addon was effectively broken for non-English users because of this, but in my haste to get my dozen addons working for the patch some things slipped by. Sorry about that.

    If anybody wants to help translate the addon, they can email the localization files to me at torrid (at) torridreflections.com, or just paste the HKC_HONORGAIN messages here as they are the most important. Thanks.

    Mkay, I'm using a non-English client.

    I removed entry #4 in HKC_CONFIG_OPTIONS and set #5 to #4 (localization.de.lua).

    I tried to capture the HKC_HONORGAIN4 and 5-Strings, but couldn't. When and where should they appear? I only found the messages 1, 2, 3 and they are correct in the localization-file.

    Now HKC recorded 4294967296 Honor Points at the Strand of the Ancients. Maybe due to the float-values?
  • #107
    HONORGAIN4 and 5 are trying to match the dark green loot text you get when you receive honor currency.

    The honor the addon is adding should only come from those two captures, really. The old bonus honor messages always show +0 to my client now. I dunno if it's different over there or not. I need to have the addon stop trying to add those zeros just in case they aren't zeros though. Not sure if that is where the 2^32 came from, but it's the only thing I can think of.
  • #103
    I just discovered this add-on. It doesn't show any errors with the 4.0.1 patch, though it doesn't seem to be calculating daily kills correctly. And with Blizzard's ill-advised removal of the daily honor killls statistic, this add-on's ability becomes premo.

    Bonus points for adding a "days until" tracker for Of the Horde (100,000 HKs) or The Bloodthirsty (250,000 in Cataclysm), based off the player's average daily count.
