About Recount (Preservation)

Recount is a graphical damage meter written by Cryect. Recount (Preservation) is an attempt to preserve it through the 2.4 patch and fix up some minor things along the way. If Cryect returns the project really should be wholely his and he can keep or abandon any changes I've made here.

For details about Recount see Cryect's original project page at:

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/8840/

For changes see the change log. Beta versions can be found on WoWAce.

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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

I updated Recount a couple days ago, have tried to delete the folder and reinstall from both Curse and WowAce and I'm getting no data posted in the Recount window.
I just got the following error. Any ideas?

I'm loving the addon. But there's one thing I need to know:
Is it possible to run _TWO_ Recounts at the same time? One that activly shows Healing Done and one that activly shows Damage Done?

Check screenshot for better understanding ;) http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/DOUBLERECOUNT.jpg

I am having problems bringing Recount back after accidentally closing it on one of my characters (hit the little X). I've gone into the setup and tried almost everything to try and get it back up, but to no avail. I have even gone as far as uninstalling and re-installing but still I can't get Recount to come back up for one character.

I'm sure this is something really simple, but it's eluding me. If this was answered elsewhere in this thread, I didn't see it and apologize for asking (but still need a tip to bring it back up).
---

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. /recount show

Thanks for a good tool / addon.

Is there a way to get Recount to hide when you're not in a party? I'm too lazy to manually hide and show it :P

Hmm. Everything works fine kind of, but the "Deaths" Tab doesnt show anything anymore. It used to work fine, then all of a sudden I could only see pets, and now absolutely nothing. Any ideas?

I've the same problem... for many week. (I don't try the latest version upload today).
but yesterday I still see pet death.

another bug, since my last comment here about that (one or two month ago), localized version doesn't work at all (at least FR one). I wanted to do all the localization, but if I can't even test it :(

Deaths for players do not show in the combat log (you can try this yourself, there is no "You died." message). This is a blizz bug that is already fixed on the current 2.4.2 PTR, so it should be live in 1-2 weeks from now.

You will see deaths from NPCs and pets in the death log until then, not players.

Sync is automatic between players in a group that use recount, their pets and boss data is sync'd too. Just players who do not use recount are not currently sync'd.

All syncing happens out of combat to avoid degradation of performance during fighting.

There are zone dependent data collection filters available and there is a global switch called global data collect. If you want no data collection in BGs simple disable the battleground and arena filters.

Pre 2.4, there used to be a feature to turn off recording of data - /recount standby

Has this been removed, or changed to another command? I don't always want it recording, especially in BG's

@Totem bug: Latest version fixes that: r72627.

@aceconfig: that's an ace3 bug. I reported it, they haven't fixed it. Any command with desc in it is not supposed to exist or do anything so just don't use them. They are description texts for the graphic config that don't get properly hidden from the commandline by ace3.

I am getting similar errors but without doing anything at all, just going in and out of combat can trigger an error text. I'll check if it is related to totems being up closeby.

i keep getting an error when i type /recount datadesc (which i would guess is supposed to be the menu that would let me save data sets?) and i know next to nothing about lua so i dont really have any idea how to try to fix this or even look at whats going on, heres the error:

...\aceconfig-3.0\aceconfigcmd-3.0\aceconfigcmd-3.0.lua:660: aceconfigcmd-3.0: /recount datadesc: unknown options table item type 'description'
