WowCardioRaid is an offline standalone parser for analyzing the wow combat log output.
It's not an Addon, but a full external application.
-launch the program
-load a WowCombatlog.txt file. Logs are located in the .\logs repertory of World of warcraft. To be able to read it correctly, wow must be closed, otherwise, you will not see the last events (wow, is opening this file in exclusive mode).
-watch and analyse the log in the graphic viewport
-You can Zoom and dezoom on the timeline, select time period, select spell or event. It basically shows everything
-You can see a stats breakdown for the selected period of time, or the whole log if nothing is selected.
It only works on windows. Sources are not currently included.
Main site of wowcardioraid: http://tixu.scribe.free.fr
- Tracking for PoM, Earth Shield and Lifebloom available. You can see the real sources for all these spells.
- You can also choose if you want to get stats with spell affiliation, or not.
- A lot of Performances tweaks have been done.
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

Tixu saidWow isn't register the combat log by default.
For that you must type the chat command /combatlog to toggle the functionnality.
Some addon can enable/disable this automatically when entering in chosen zones.
you can try Loggerhead for that:

graywolfe saidAbsolutely fantastic tool excellent way of allowing people to sift through the immense amount of data froma boss fight and dig into the detail to see what went right and what went wrong. Keep up the excellent work.
One bug report and 2 feature requests
Bug
In Beta 7c I'm seeing the CRIT flag inverted on all heals, so none crits have the CRIT flag set and crits don't. This is easy to see by looking at HoTs which are all marked as CRIT
Feature Request
When in the event list if I select showing events for a single character the view takes me back to the start of the log. It would be ace switching between the entire view and the events for one character could try and maintain my place in the events.
To illustrate why this would be great. You're looking at the detailed view for the tank and you see a point where they took a big HP hit and the healers just caught it. You pick one of the damage events and use the context menu to go to that in the event list. You can see this damage event there but it's surrounded by the entire raid doing stuff. You select just the tank in the overview so you only see events for them and the event list poops back to the beginning over an hour before the fight you were interested in.
I tired setting the event view to just show the tank I was interested before selecting 'View Event in List' but the event list seemed to get reset to show everyone when I did this so that didn't help either.
Feature Request
You're tracking current unit health to draw the HP line in the main timeline and detail views, but this information isn't available in the tooltips for the events or in the event list. This would be a really useful addition when looking and damage spikes and deaths =)

Tixu saidThank you for the feedback.
Ive commited a new beta
Bugs have been fixed, and few new features added.
For the eventlist, its not finished at all, I have focused on the timeline rendering, so I did'nt take care about it. Anyway I have added a quick fix: when a unit is selected through the eventlist context menu, the event position is kept.
Also, hp/dps/hps insta value under the mouse are shown in the statusbar.
