EavesDrop   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
What is it? - A simple combat log that displays events similar to how SCT/D would in a log, using icons to display spells/skills. It separates incoming events (left side) from out going events (right side) from misc. events (middle).

What all can it show?
- Your hits, spells, misses, heals, etc...
- Incoming damage, spells, heals, buffs, debuffs, etc...
- Power gain
- Honor, Reputation, SKill, and Experience gain
- Mob/People you have slain
- Combat start/stop
- Timestamps and details in tooltips
- High hit stat tracking for both incoming and outgoing skills.
- Combat Summaries
- Shift+Click to paste events of history into Chat Edit Box

Where did it come from? - Original idea by Bant. Coding help/samples from Andalia`s SideCombatLog and CombatChat.

How do I use it? - Unzip EavesDrop into your interface\addons directory. For more info on installing, please read install.txt. Now just run WoW and once logged in, you will see the EavesDrop in the middle of your screen. Left click the EavesDrop Tab to drag it. Right click the EavesDrop Tab to see the options menu.

FAQ
My periodic damage is not showing up in the combat log or on the screen! How do I fix it? - You have turned off periodic damage on the Advanced Options under Interface options. Make sure the "Periodic Damage" check box is checked, even if you have Damage unchecked.

How do I reset EavesDrop or load another users settings? - EavesDrop uses the Ace3 profile system. By default all characters use the same profile. You may change this for each character using the Profile area of the option menu. You can reset the options for the current profile using the Rest option in the menu.

How do I change the fonts? - EavesDrop uses the games default fonts. EavesDrop now supports ShareMedia, so just select your font from the options menu.

Looks like Grayhoof won't be updating this anymore.

Someone take it over, please. /cry

Everything else is perfect and brief, much better than the built in combat log.
Eavesdrop hasn't been updated in ages so maybe you SHOULD get to writing your own one

Hey there. That thing with being unable to post from eavesdrop history wehen the target (or oneself) has special charactersin their name..

I stilll don't know the cause, but I have a workaround.

Open Eavesdrop.lua and replace the local function cleanstring (line 150 I believe) with this:
Code:
local function cleanstring(s)
  local _, s_end, wordend
  s = gsub(s, "|r", "")
  s = gsub(s, "|c........", "")
  _, s_end = string.find(s, "|Hunit:..................:")
  s_end = s_end - 25
  s = string.gsub(s, "|Hunit:..................:", "")
  wordend = string.find(s, " ", s_end)
  s = string.sub(s, 1, s_end-1)..string.sub(s, s_end, wordend-((wordend-s_end)*0.5)-1)..string.sub(s, wordend)
  s = gsub(s, "|Haction:([%w_*]*)|h", "")
  s = gsub(s, "|Hitem:(%d+)|h", "")
  s = gsub(s, "|Hicon:%d+:dest|h", "")
  s = gsub(s, "|Hicon:%d+:source|h", "")
  s = gsub(s, "|Hspell:%d+:([%w_*]*)|h", "")
  s = gsub(s, "|TInterface.TargetingFrame.UI.RaidTargetingIcon.%d.blp:0|t", "")
  s = gsub(s, "|h", "")
  s = gsub(s, "\n", ", ")
  return s
end
Excuse my lame-ass coding style

Any Update required for 3.1.1?

I've used this as my damage/heal metre for some time.

Does it require any updates to work efficiently and effectively under the current version of WoW?

Try Goose. You can set frames by framename to show/hide based on macro conditionals. So if you only want to see EavesDrop in combat, then you can tell Goose to do that.

Absolutely great addon, what i miss though is a possibility to set a threshhold for outgoing/incoming damage as the frame is spammed by dots or small hits all the time.

Still having problems scrolling in my history box , all my ability's being a prot war are not in the history selection for highest crits/heals and so on... and Idea what fixes this or maybe its another addon causing the problem?

Otherwise , I've been using eavesdrop for awhile now and loved all of it , even when the history box used to work =/

Great addon, thanks for the work!

Just wondering though, is there any way to change the font size and make the frame fade out when not in combat?

That is exactly what it puts in the chat box when I click an event in the box. the only thing I can think of is maybe it is the á in my name?
Happens to me, too.
More specifically, it happens when any mobs or players involved have special characters in their names.
My char Mirrizal gets those errors only when interacting (i.e. pounding on) players or mobs with special characters.
-> Looks like Eavesdrop has problems with special characters. Fixable? I may even look into it myself..

As I play on a german server, I run into a lot of ppl with "ä" "ö" "ü" in their names, not to mention those who just facepalmed at the character creation screen when they found out their name was taken, and added an apostrophe somewhere to punch it through
