DPS_Tracker Version 2.0
CHANGES:
– The DPS_Tracker frame is now resizable and saves its size and position across game sessions. Across UI Reloads only its size is retained.
– The DPS_Tracker’s Alpha (its opacity) has been adjusted to be more transparent.
DESCRIPTION:
A small, efficient personal DPS tracker. For each encounter (i.e., a fight) a detailed combat log and a combat summary are produced. The summary is produced when the player leaves combat.
You can display the Tracker window while you fight, though I have found it distracting. Rather, when the fight is over type “/dps show” and the Tracker window will pop up with the log and its summary. When the player is finished examining the results simply click the [X] button in the upper right corner to hide the window but retain the data. Alternatively, issue the command, /dbs hide. To delete the log entries, click the <Reset> button. Clicking the <Select> button permits the player to cut and paste all or part of the log into a text file.
NOTE: DPS_Tracker does not track the damage of a player’s party or raid members. There are other excellent addons you should use for this function (e.g., Details, Recount, Skada)
TESTING
DPS_Tracker uses Blizzard’s combat log (with advanced logging enabled) as the standard against which its results are compared. In this regard, DPS_Tracker produces identical damage results (and a similar looking log file). However, against ‘Details’ and ‘Recount’ the calculated results (e.g., DPS) are different. The most likely explanation for the difference is the time over which the the total damage is divided varies from addon to addon. DPS_Tracker times each encounter from the moment the first COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED event is received to when the PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED event fires.
