WowCardioRaid is an offline standalone parser for analyzing the wow combat log output.
It's not an Addon, but a full external application. So, *do not* use CurseClient to get it, because this tool has nothing to do in the wow addon folder.
A youtube video can be found here for a better preview:

-launch the program
-load a WowCombatlog.txt file. Logs are located in the .\logs repertory of World of warcraft. To be able to read it correctly, wow must be closed, otherwise, you will not see the last events (wow, is opening this file in exclusive mode).
-watch and analyse the log in the graphic viewport
-You can Zoom and dezoom on the timeline, select time period, select spell or event. It basically shows everything
-You can see a stats breakdown for the selected period of time, or the whole log if nothing is selected.
It only works on windows. Sources are not currently included.

- WowCardioraid can now open, read and parse the wowcombatlog.txt file even if the game is not closed.
- Experimental support for RealTime Update (event only, no support for realtime chatlog atm). Events are parsed automatically when the wowcombatlog.txt is updated by the game. Update frequencie can be adjusted in the options (from 30s to 30 mn). A manual update is also available.
- Due to background update possibilities, parsing error feedback has been changed. Errors are now logged in the options panel. A single '!!!' mark is added in the viewport (top-left) when error(s) have been recorded.
- Added Inclusive/Exclusive modes for focused Unit: Inclusive mode means that events must match sourceUnit *or* destUnit, while exclusive mode means that events must match sourceUnit *and* destUnit to be filtered. Unit focused are highlighted in Orange in inclusive mode, and Blue in ExclusiveMode.
- Few optimizations in parsing functions.
----------

- Beta support for chat log: Load a regular event log, then load the chatlog for the same session. You can now check boss'emotes or other raid warning. Additionally, if chat-events have been loaded, they can be saved in wcr file directly. You can also set a blacklist to keep the chatlog more reliable.
- Viewport context menu: Added an fonction to set focus for all units of the same type in the current combat frame. Additionnaly, focused unit are now highlighted in the unit tree too.
- Scroll bars have been added to the viewport.
- Raid header size is now correctly saved.
- Fix for some combatblock problems.
- Few small fixes and optimizations.
----------
17/05/09 b19 - Dps/hps lines calculation has been switched to linear mode by default, since it's the most accurate mode. Smooth (and slower) calculation is available through options (if you want to compare dps performance between different raid session, be sure to use the same mode)
- Added raid overview dps/hps lines. The raid output header can be resized by moving its bottom line in the gfx view.
- Added support for focus/filter in dps/hps lines (raid or players), and proper functions like auto/manual update
- Added option to exclude self damages for damage done output (lines and stats)
- Added option to cap Overkill damage, to prevent huge spike in dps lines (Mimiron can blast for 5millions ;))
- All filtered events now appear in gfx view regardless their importance in zoom level.
- Proper handle of SPELL_CAST_START and SPELL_CAST_FAILED events, also added an option to disabled SPELL_CAST_FAILED events completely.
- SPELL_CAST_START and SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS are now only drawn in detailed view except if the caster is a raid opponent.
- Fixed few smalls bugs
- small changes in the wcr format. Older version of wowcardioraid will not be able to open the new format (but older wcr files can still be opened).
----------
16/04/09 b18b - fix a problem with new GUID format for player in wow 3.1
----------
07/03/09 b17 - Add a combatBlock headers. Use Space/backspace keys to cycle through recognized combatblocks
- Added multiple and saved filters. The default filter is the current dynamic filter, it can be saved in fixed filter. Multiple filters logical is 'OR'. You can activate/desactivate filters with their check box. For structural reason, enchants and environnements spells can't be saved anyway.
- Preferences and options are now saved through sessions.
- The activity calculation has been adjusted. Activity column has also been added in the stat view.
- Added a mitigation column in the statview. This can be use to evaluate the amount of resist/absorb/block.
- All npc of the same type can now be temporary added directly in the 'boss combatlist'
- Added an log anonymiser. Press Ctrl-Alt-A to change all players/pets names.
----------
06/02/09 b16 - It's now possible to save the log in a proprietary packed format (*.wcr) for faster futures usages or web upload if needed. If a time-period is selected, only the period is saved, otherwise it's the whole log.
- Wcr now support the 'open with' (or command line) windows system possibility. You just need set *.wcr file to wowcardio in windows 'open with' menu.
- It's now possible to scroll down NPC list in main view, and Aura list in detailled view with pgup-pgDown key and/or mouse wheel (the cursor must be over the name column in this case)
- Added a time-Mesuring tool (alt - Left Click)
- Added a DamageOverkill filter, to quickly see killing blows
- 'Enchant' and 'Environmental effects' are now shown in the spell-list
- Added a (very) rudimentary stat-export in the stats view.
- Hpline calculation for NPC has been improved. It's also possible to say to WowCardio to save the estimated Hp pool for a specific mob in NPC unit options (boss are saved by default)
- Dps/hps lines now have relative ratio for same type of NPC.
- Pressing Esc while parsing stop the parsing.
- few Memory optimization and internals improvements.
--------
23/01/08 b15 - Removed wow2.0 compatibility for optimization. WCR now only work for wow3.0+ logs
- Added a tracker for some affiliation (DoomGuard, army of dead)
- Added a color code in the spell list to quickly view the common usage of spells (Yellow = damage, Green = Healing, and Purple for Buff/debuff)
- Up to date spells list and boss list are also included
--------
19/10/08 b14 - Added a button to toggle the stat view between Players and NPC
- Unit who are not related to the raid should not be shown in the graphic view and stats view anymore
- Affiliated Unit (pet, totem etc...) are now placed as child node in the stats view for better feedback
- Stats filter have been improved
- Its possible to temporary add some random npc tracking in the combat list (without notifying them as Boss). To do this, open NPC section the unitTree, open the wanted NPC node, then focus a specific instance of this NPC and choose 'add/remove this unit in combat list'. Grayed NPC are not raid related, so no combat will be found.
- Few optimizations
- Bug Fix with aura in Detailled view
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.
