NotSureWhatToCallIt

[DmgInc]

I call it CombatStats for now, but it isn't done....but I want to see if anyone else is interested in this, if so I'll put it out there.

Basically it's another DPS calculator, but on mouseover pops up a tooltip with all sorts of cool (at least i think they are) stats.

Here is a screenshot...

I've been looking into writing something similar to this, although instead of displaying it in a tooltip I was planning on gathering ability data and showing it in a frame of some kind (probably in a display similar to that for QuestShare's quest breakdown).

I'd certainly be interested in seeing how you do this, it might give me some good ideas to how I'd do my frame's data display.

Cool!

Please, release your mod - it would be neat to look at, be inspired by and suggest improvements to it! :)

Right, the tooltip thing is going to suck big REAL fast, especially if you have a lot of attacks to track, it will get obnoxious QUICKLY.

What I am thinking/trying to do is to roll this in w/the old KillLog code. They had a pretty cool interface and frame worked up. Plus it would be cool to get the kill log stats back in, and combine this w/my crit stats...the possibilites are endless mianly because I LOVE STATS!

I have grabbed the KillLog code and am trying to get just the UI portion of it to work correctly w/the latest version of WoW and Cosmos. The problem is I am new to the whole xml/lua combo of things and trying to read other peoples code is usually a challenge.

ANYWAY, if someone wants to help me out perhaps we can work together on this sucker and make it rock, I have got the data parsing/collecting all figured out for the most part, it's the UI stuff that I would need the most help with.

Also I would like to save this info from session to session.

Lastly, here is the zip file containing the mod.

I should mention that it registers itself w/Cosmos and is turned on under cosmos options. You will notice in the options there is a slider for how many prior seconds of combat time to calculate DPS, that isn't working yet and uses a default of 20 seconds.

Nice!

Sorry I can't help you with the UI part of it... a lack of WoW and UI skillz is my reason. However, if you want your code reviewed/checked out, honk at me!
