About Weakest Link

Ever try to figure out why your raid is failing? Ever try to figure out who died first, or what killed the tank, or just want to sound like a raid leader without doing any work?? The combat log is horrible at reporting player deaths. It doesn't include how they died in the death, it doesn't let you single out a specific player, and sometimes it just doesn't show deaths period, even when you have the option checked. WeakestLink attempts to overcome these shortcomings by announcing raid deaths in all sorts of options.

Features:

  • Deaths may be announced to raid, say, officer, a whisper, a channel, or just yourself.
  • Report who killed them, by how much, when, and a link to the spell if possible. Overkill is also an option.
  • Show events before that person died! You have the option to see the attacks that player took before he died. You can specify how many lines you want to report
  • Show however many deaths you want, per fight (since after the first five die, who cares what happens after that)
  • Only report a certain player, such as a tank.
  • Raid icons support with the newest beta
  • Party deaths for 5-man instances can be enabled in options

Commands:

  • '/wl' to bring up the options
  • '/wl on' to turn it on
  • '/wl off' to turn it off
  • '/wl debug' to see all deaths, not just raid members (warning, tracks NPCs too so lots of spam)

Thanks to Fatality for the idea, and its author for some code optimizations I used.

    1x WeakestLink-r24\WeakestLink.lua:350: attempt to compare number with string
    WeakestLink-r24\WeakestLink.lua:306: in function `reporthistory'
    WeakestLink-r24\WeakestLink.lua:290: in function `?'
    WeakestLink-r24\WeakestLink.lua:231: in function `?'
    WeakestLink-r24\WeakestLink.lua:70: in function

    From what I can see, the ENVIRONMENT_DAMAGE is putting the 'envType' parameter into 'amount'. I'm assuming eType is supposed to hold the EnvironmentType, but it's currently nowhere ever set.

    Made some changes in ENVIRONMENT_DAMAGE and SPELL_DAMAGE event, but will have to wait for next raid before I can test it ;)

    Small adaptation of Pelf's version to fix above-mentioned error:

    @Pelf...Thanks for the information, I've been on vacation and have not had time to check it but posted it for release anyway since Dracula confirmed it working.

    @Everyone else...If you find anything else that needs looked at please post it.

    They added 2 parameters to COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED again:

    local timestamp, subevent, _, srcGUID, srcName, srcFlags, srcRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, ...

    Notice the srcRaidFlags and destRaidFlags?

    So you'll need to adjust the parameter lists and select(...) statements again. Pelf has already done this in the version he posted, I can confirm that one works perfectly.

    Updated for 4.2

    The latest version wasn't really working for me. I think I fixed it. At least, it's throwing messages again and they seem to be property formatted. No guarantees, but I'm not getting any errors. I'll be keeping up with this on my side if I've missed something and will update here.

    Find all occurrences (there's 5, comments not included) of "subevent," and insert "_," right after it.

    So for example, line 248 becomes:
    local timestamp, subevent, _, srcGUID, srcName, srcFlags, .....
  • #37
    Made the changes as you suggested. I don't play as much at the time being so let me know if that fixed it or made it worse. Thanks in advance.
  • #39
    Oh and you missed one at line 219.

  • #38
    Oops, forgot about line 289 and 306 which need an extra "_," as well.
    And at line 286 it's "select(8,...)" instead of "select(7,...)"
  • #35
    UPdated it and addon stopped announcing after the patch, whatever channel i pick for output doesn´t stay selected and nothing comes out from the addon, tried in raids and ZA heroic.
  • #34
    When I configure the addon to whisper someone the reports, i get a message saying "No player named "0" is currently playing" and no whisper is sent (despite me writing in an actual name). Is there any way to fix this?
  • #29
    updated for 4.0. Someone tell me if it works or no. This mod is such a pain to test if you don't raid, and a pain even if you do raid because if it breaks you DC or piss off your raid.

    :)

    installed r20 but i still get an error when choosing another channel (is stuck in officer) and it doesn´t change channel.

    Date: 2010-10-28 23:06:08

    Error occured in: Global
    Count: 1
    Message: ..\AddOns\WeakestLink\WeakestLink.lua line 801:
    attempt to index global 'this' (a nil value)
    Debug:
    [C]: ?
    WeakestLink\WeakestLink.lua:801: func()
    ..\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:636: UIDropDownMenuButton_OnClick()
    [string "*:OnClick"]:1:
    [string "*:OnClick"]:1

    tho it seems i just get 1 error, i think r19 gave me 4-5 errors so it´s heading in the right direction. :)
