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.

    Never done addon development or looked at LUA in my life but tried replacing the cachegroup;

     

    function WL:cachegroup() --store list of party names for local access

    if (time() - prevtime < DELAY) then return end; --one invite creates several events :(
    WL:print("Caching group at time "..tostring(date()))
    wipe(WL.groupnames)

    if(WLsavedtable.playertowatch and WLsavedtable.playertowatch~="") then
    WL.groupnames[WLsavedtable.playertowatch] = true
    else
    if (UnitInRaid("player")) then
    local name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead, role, isML
    for i = 1,GetNumGroupMembers() do
    name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead, role, isML = GetRaidRosterInfo(i);
    if(name) then
    WL.groupnames[name] = true
    end
    end
    elseif (UnitInParty("player")) then
    for i = 1, GetNumGroupMembers() do
    --WL.groupnames[GetPartyMember(i)] = true
    local name = GetUnitName("party"..i, true)
    --end
    WL.groupnames[name] = true
    end
    WL.groupnames[UnitName("player")] = true --yourself doesnt count as a party
    end
    end
    prevtime = time()
    end

     

    It had an end after local name = GetUnitName god knows why as it had no reason?

    GetNumPartyMembers and RaidMembers was removed in 5.0.4 so attempted to do same thing using UnitInRaid/Party then use GetNumGroupMembers to set the number in the for statement

    Not fully tested, but upon doing that I'm getting no LUA errors logging in and /wl commands work again

     

    Edit: Just tried it soloing Sha in a raid group and it seems to work fine

    Edit: http://pastebin.com/HJ9bu5da to make it easier with indentation

    Btw, I'm unsure why I did it, but I replaced this:

    local name,realm = UnitName("party"..i)
    if (realm) then
    name = name.."-"..realm
    end

    with:

    local name = GetUnitName("party"..i, true)

    Furthermore, there's IsInRaid() and IsInGroup() that don't require you to deal with counting, especially since GetNumRaidMembers no longer exists.

    Also, how did you accidentally commit an entire addon 'AddFriend' inside the WeakestLink folder without noticing it?

    Updated the interface version number only, see if this works, if not might take me personally quite a bit longer as I am not able to play as much as I used to.

    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 ;)
