Assessment
An Ace2 Tag Based Combat Monitoring Addon
What is Assessment?
Assessment is a tag based combat monitoring addon for World of Warcraft. It collects a plethora of combat information; how it is displayed depends on the user interface chosen and the display set configuration used. At this time, BarInterface is the only user interface option.
By default, Assessment comes pre-configured as a fully featured combat monitoring addon with display sets that provide information on Critical Hit Rates, Damage Dealt and Taken, Healing Done, Raw Healing Done, Threat and others. While these should be sufficient for many users, power users with knowledge of the tags available and data structures can customize Assessment to an unprecedented level.
The user interface of Assessment is hopefully intuitive to the new user - so the remainder of this manual is written with power users as the target audience.
Creating Display Sets
Choosing what to show, how to show it, how to sort it, how to filter it, and more.
Display sets are collections of data the define what the user interface shows. A summary of how display sets are used is written in pseudo code below
for each element in the ListType list
evalute BarValue tag
if FilterTag permits then
Add this to our list of displayed elements.
end
end
for each element to display
evaluate SortTag
end

The starting point is to choose the List Type. Lists provide two things - a key and a value. The key is generally a name - or the primary result of the list type. The value is the secondary result of the list type and generally contains associated information for the particular key. For example, List Type Damage Dealers will provide the name of the damage dealer as the key, and the value will allow associated information tags such as Amount, Count and others to be used.
