Death Note

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.

Bugs and feature requests

Remember that the purpose of combat log analysis tools is to help you understand what happened, not to find someone to blame

I love this addon, however, I feel it would be beneficial to add an option whereupon a players death the last 3 sources of damage are printed, rather than just the final one that killed them.

Would be much much much more convenient for diagnosing deaths in the middle of a fight.

I believe you also need to update the function around line third.

Did more testing on the PTR. Both with the version which is uploaded in the tickets (from the current SVN) and the current release version using my change from below still problems happen on the PTR. Problems are in UI.lua line 1365, and if this is commented out further problems are in Format.lua (it sounds to me as if this is also COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED related). Strangely I had these problems only inside a raid, not when solo.

Bugfix to make it work on Patch 4.2 PTR:

function DeathNote:COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED(_, timestamp, event, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, ...)

in DataCapture.lua

slonaro: right-click on the list of deaths, or click on the gear icon for that and more options.

hope I did not miss the obvious:

is it possible to sort first column chronologically (instead of by name)? I love to know who died first (and why), but that's hard to find out when alphabetically sorted.

tx for a great mod!

You can only send reports to custom channels at the moment. Sending announces to custom channels will be added later.
