World of Warcraft AddOn - Death analysis tool

World of Warcraft AddOn - Death analysis tool.

Death Note records the events preceding a death and presents them to you in a comprehensible manner. If you have used Acheron before, this addon has been inspired by it.

How to use

• Check the data capture options in the interface panel and make sure that you are comfortable with the default settings.
• To view the recorded deaths, use the option in the right-click menu of a unit frame. Or, if you have a LDB display, you can also open the Death Note frame from there.

Not so obvious stuff you can do:

• Right-Click on the list of deaths to change the ordering.
• Drag a column separator to move it.
• Click on a time or health column to change its display format.
• Click on a spell or source to highlight all occurrences of that spell or source.
• Control+Click on a spell or source to add that spell or source to the list of filters (removing all the lines with that spell or source).
• Right-Click on a line to send a report to a chat channel starting from that line.
• Shift+Click on a column to paste its contents to the chat edit box.
• Control+Mouse wheel to change the frame scale.

Chat commands:

• /dn or /deathnote - opens main window
• /dn reset - wipes all data

deathnote's Issues

Wrath Classic version / support / TOC update

Hey there,

Just wanted to check if continued support into Wrath Classic was part of the plan, and if not - formally do a feature request for it here :)

Cheers

AceLocale issue with latest update today

I just installed DN 90205.1 from this repo. Now I am getting all kinds of AceLocale errors. I use Titan for my LDB and the error occurs when I mouse over Death Note. Hopefully someone can offer suggestions if this isn't a Deathnote issue by itself.

Here is the main error:

1x AceLocale-3.0-6: DeathNote: Missing entry for 'Click to open Death Note. Right-Click to show options. Shift-Click to optimize data. Ctrl-Click to reset data.'
[string "@deathnote\DeathNote-90205.1-release.lua"]:58: in function func' [string "@Titan\LDBToTitan.lua"]:182: in function TitanLDBSetTooltip'

Update for Cataclysm?

Any plans to update for Cataclysm?

Thank you

With deathnote open, when combat ends, WoW hard crashes every time. Specifically a raid wipe. This is new as of 10.0.5

[Suggestion] Option to show Cheat Deaths

I've been using Death Note for so many years now and it's so useful, thank you!

It would be amazing if there could be an option to also track the cause of what procs Cheat Death--the talented ones from rogues and other classes, as well as the Podtender cheat death from Night Fae.

No issue. Just question.

Is there an update planned for version 10.0.0 prepatch ?

Crashing When Scrolling

Have noticed since end of BFA that if there are quite a few deaths in the death note log, the game will crash if you scroll through someone's death log (with scroll wheel). If you use the scroll bar on the side it does not seem to cause the issue if you go slowly.

Wotlk Classic broken with ulduar patch.

If you open it its just a black box and the only way to get rid of it is reloading.

RU locale

Hey !
Please update the translation of Russian localization. I made edits in the "Localization" section of the Curseforge website.

SPELL_DISPEL_FAILED event causes error in TBC classic

DeathNote/Data.lua

Line 165 in 1bf7d3e

-- ["SPELL_DISPEL_FAILED"] = true,

I have for a while noticed that I am not able to properly see some death (somewhat randomly) because of an error and did some digging;

It is the SPELL_DISPEL_FAILED combat log event that causes errors to occur since the addon cannot parse the deaths with this event, since the type is missing.

I simply replaced it with the same type as SPELL_DISPEL; since the dispels are not actually shown anyway we just need it to not cause an error.

["SPELL_DISPEL"] = { TypeAura, nil, nil, ExtraSpellId, AuraDispel },
["SPELL_DISPEL_FAILED"] = { TypeAura, nil, nil, ExtraSpellId, AuraDispel },

Any chance we can get a clickable link/button in our chat window that opens up the death log?

Really awesome mod so thank you for working on this.

I have the setting enabled so that upon a death in the group, a message is sent to group (party/raid) chat with a short summary of what killed them. This is nice, but it would be really handy if that message also included something we could click that would open up the death note log for that specific death.

when i open the main window and scroll up, sometimes wow.exe crash. maybe it's because the amount of data is too large, but is there anything i can do to avoid it?

Crashing when opening main window

I've had this issue for a long time, but intermittently, when opening the main DeathNote window to check on deaths, it freezes up the game and essentially means I have to crash the game and restart it.

Errors whenever using addon to look up death

Is this addon going to be updated? It hasn't been update except the toc, and the toc was updated to 1.0.0, not 10.0.0. Easy fix. But I get this error whenever looking up a death:

1390x DeathNote/Format.lua:596: attempt to call method 'SetHyperlink' (a nil value)
[string "@DeathNote/Format.lua"]:596: in function FormatTooltipSource' [string "@DeathNote/UI.lua"]:1122: in function column_onenter'

Locals:
Skipped (In Encounter)

Previous damage events to log?

Could we get a configurable option to print the last N damage events to chat with the death output?

The format would be like: You were killed by "n-2" then by "n-1" then by "n"?

Tooltips display as blank

Hovering over the Time, HP, Amount text or Source text only display a blank tooltip box with no information within.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Collect data (deaths) in any content in WoW:Dragonflight
2. Open Death Note addon
3. Select any death and hover mouse over HP bar
4. Observe result
5. Hover mouse over Amount numbers/text
6. Observe result
7. Hover mouse over Source names
8. Observe result
9. Hover mouse over Time
10. Observe result

Expected results:
Show relevant time stamps.
Show health as numbers / percentages and max health.
Show information about the event that happened as text.

Observed results:
Blank tooltip boxes containing no information.

Create TBC version

With TBC having arenas, I'd love this addon to work on TBC servers. Same with NamePlateAuras, too.

Feature Request: show a line between each pull/boss so we can easily see what pertains to the most recent boss pull or trash pull

An example there - it'd be great to be able to easily scroll down when sorted by time and see which was the first death of the most recent pull... a simple dashed or dotted line between each combat session would do it!
