ArenaLog3 is a score tracking addon that will passively record all rated arena games played for each of your arena teams. An in-game browser is provided to view your arena history.
Features
- ArenaLog's browser lets you view all enemy teams and your statistics accumulated against them, as well as a list of all games played against a particular team, and a scoreboard view for that game. You are also able to view a list of all enemy class compositions and your team's stats against them.
- ArenaLog will search for an enemy team in your database when a match starts, and will announce the name of the enemy team as well as your win:loss ratio against them.
Commands
- /arenalog or /al - Display a command list
- /al reset - Resets accumulated data.
- Use /al reset 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5 to reset data only for a particular team bracket.
- /al history [bracket] [#] - Displays last # games played in bracket (2v2, 3v3, 5v5)
- /al browser - Toggle the browser display on/off. This can also be accessed by using a keybinding found in the Blizzard key binds interface, or by clicking the "View History" button on the PvP Team Details window for one of your teams.
Options
Found in the ArenaLog section of the Blizzard Addons options interface
- Toggle enemy team ratio announcement - You can enable or disable the announcement of enemy teams to your party at the beginning of a match.
Difference between this and the Armory
Roughly two days after I released this addon, Blizzard added the same features to the WoW Armory page. It is an extremely well implemented feature. The main advantages of using this addon now is that your data is updated in real-time after every match - you don't have to wait for the armory to update.
In addition, this addon lets you browse statistics against the various enemy team compositions you have fought, a feature that the armory does not have at the moment.
Misc
Why the 3?
ArenaLog began as a data export tool to be used with an online website/database I had previously made, and was never originally meant to include any kind of in-game data browsing. This was very powerful but somewhat clunky to operate. This new iteration of the addon is designed to be entirely self contained, but is largely based on the same data collection principles used in the earlier two versions.
It might be important to note that if you play a huge number of games, this addon's database can become fairly large. I would recommend disabling the addon if you are not playing arenas if you encounter large memory usage. Your database will be automatically cleaned if you leave or switch teams.

Update: Aug 8th, 2009 - This addon is no longer being maintained!
This newest release (v1.09) marks the last version of ArenaLog I will be releasing. I have added a way to display matchmaking ratings alongside team ratings in the games listing, as well as two more localizations that have been contributed. The main drawback to the matchmaking ratings is that there is no way to sort by them. As I have quit WoW entirely, there's very little I can do to actively maintain this addon anymore. Thank you to everyone who has shown an interest in this and found it useful or simply fun.
Anyone who has a desire to take over the project may do so. Just send me an email.

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 has 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.
