About Recap

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. Starting with version 4.25 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.

    Shaman Totem Bug Solved

    Enjoy!

    When I first updated Recap I still wasn't seeing my Fire Ele but after playing around a bit with how I have it set up I found that it wont show up if I have Hide Other Combatants and Store Only Displayed Combatants checked at the same time.  If only 1 of them is checked then the Ele shows up but not with both.

    I have never needed to see someone's numbers who wasn't in my group so I have always run with both of these checked.  Is it a technical limitation with out the Fire Ele's dmg is reported/tracked that causes this.

    For now I'll just keep the Store option unchecked but was just wondering if it was something you could look at.  Thanks!

    I will take a look on that, but not sure i will bring something in short term because im working in some imporvments on recap right now :)

    Looks like renews is okay, I was worried, but he hasn't played WoW for nearly three months.

    So I'm now hoping that someone is interested in taking over Recap.

    Contact me via private message here, or via the email address in the readme.txt file.

    I will continue to be available to help whoever takes over.

    Sry to every recap user, i was suffering with several changes on my life and cant get into wow/addons anymore, now everything is okay and im back in the game.

    Sorry again!
  • #85
    Doh, apologies to those who have had to install manually, I had a wrong folder name in 4.65. The new 4.651 is identical except for now having a proper folder name. The displayed version number in-game is still 4.65.

    "please report the following error to Hawksy at the curse.com site: Interface\AddOns\Recap\RecapCombat.lua:5332: attempt to concatenate a nil value"

    I see you are taking care of a problem, hope that you release soon and it's back on Curse and.or Wowmatrix. Very cool of you to step back in. One of the most useful addons in the game, should probably be a small team running it!

    I cannot seem to get Recap to work. Cleared all savedvariables (server and character), deleted old version, got 4.65, but it doesnt show up in my list of mods. Sort of lost as to what to do here.
  • #83
    most likely the way you extracted the folder. if you are looking at the unzipped folder and it still says "recap 4dot w/e" then go inside of that folder and you should see another folder that is just labeled recap. Cut that folder and put it in your addons directory and just delete the one with numbers in the name. It should now show up in the game list. If that is not your issue, good luck =)

    Hawksy here:

    As you may know, I left WoW in December 2010, and renews has taken over Recap. I have not heard from renews for nearly two months, and I think that I can safely fix Recap for patch 4.2 without actually testing it on WoW.

    I have uploaded a beta for patch 4.2. Let me know if it solves the reported problem, and if it does I'll upload it as a release version.

    I hope renews is okay, and will be returning to maintain Recap. If not, then I'd be looking for someone else to take over maintenance. I would be available to help, but do not have access to WoW for testing.

    your fix is working perfectly. my hat is off to you for fixing an addon that you can't even test out yourself anymore.
  • #79
    Sorry to hear you're gone. Been using Recap since summer of '07. I've tried all the others and Recap continues to be the best. I'm not far behind you I don't think though. I don't play much myself these days...

    Thanks a ton for the work you put into this over the years.
  • #78
    the beta works thank you for your help hawk if you need someone to test them for you on wow let me know thank you
  • #81
    Thanks for the offer. I'm hoping instead for either renews to re-appear, or for someone else to offer to take Recap over.
