AAV - atrox Arena Viewer  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.2.10
by: Zwacky [More]

AAV is an arena replay addon, that lets you record or even broadcast arena matches.
These arena matches can be viewed within WoW, while doing your daily quests, raids or just idling in Dalaran. It's optimized to run in very good-performance.

If you ever wanted to analyze your arena matches, why you died on that particular time on that particular match against that particular game and what skill could have been used, then **AAV ** is a gem for you! Or if you want to follow your guildmates while they're doing arena, just hop in to their broadcast and watch their play.

Features

  • record, replay, delete arena matches
  • broadcast arena matches to **guild** mates
  • see used skills
  • casting bar
  • cooldown bar
  • interrupts (school locks)
  • target system
  • health and mana tracking
  • change game speed in replay
  • minimap icon menu
  • match statistics (damage/healing done, ratings)

Limitation
AAV is like a graphical and interactive combatlog, that parses every action in the arena. However, it's not possible to keep track of the positionings. Who knows, maybe Blizzard opens up their API to make coordination gathering available in arena; this would make **AAV ** more workable.

Slash Commands
  • /play [number] - plays a given match.
  • /delete [number] - deletes a give match.
  • /record - whether a match will be recorded.
  • /broadcast - enable/disable broadcasting.
  • /lookup - lists all available broadcasts.
  • /connect [name] - connects to the broadcast with the given name.

Known Bugs
  • in rare cases stealth classes are not visible at all
  • during broadcasting the icon and healthbar of combatants may switch places in rare cases and the buff and debuf bar doesn't fit

FAQ
How much Memory does the addon use?
The addon is optimized for high-performance and as few memory usage as possible. Due to these requirements the player uses in play less than 1 MB memory. An average match takes up from 60 ~ 180kb, depends on heavy usage of spells and events (warlocks and resto druids do their job pretty well!).
Matches can be deleted to free memory if needed.

Does it hurt my FPS rate?
Not at all. From the stated requirements in the first question the addon is designed for high-performance and you won't notice any FPS loss.

Does my ping increase while broadcasting?
Not at all as well. The sent data is small and won't delay your latency. Additionally a sending mechanism takes care of the sending behaviour so you will never burst in sending data.

Isn't it possible to disconnect when sending too much data?
Yes, it is possible, but in AAV a sending mechanism takes care of all outgoing data. Rather sending all data at once, it apportions the big load of data over a certain time, that prevents from being disconnected.

Where is the match data stored to?
World of Warcraft\WTF\<your account>\SavedVariables\aav.lua

I don't record/broadcast any combat events anymore, only Healthbar and Mana changes, why?
This happens when your combat log and any addons that use the //COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED //event (like AAV or afflicted) get screwed up due to massive glitched spam (courtesy of Blizzard). If you're familiar with the /run CombatLogClearEntries() command, that's being fired on every frame update, then you //should// be fine.
Otherwise type /run ReloadUI() or relog will solve this problem. The incomplete match data that have been recorded under the bug cannot be fixed to show other events than Health's or Mana's.

The damage in the score board doesn't match with my recount's, why?
In the current version pets are completely disabled, means, their damage and contribution doesn't count yet.

pets should be implemented soon, since it's a good information, if the pets don't receive any heals or a team's tactic consists of training the foe's pet. it might get a little bit overloaded to display the pet's healthbar/skill use, but i think, i'll find a suitable solution for that.

Hello, I've got a problem with this addon, i tried some skirmish to test it but when i want to play the records, i have a LUA error saying :
Interface\Addons\aav\class\gui.lua:1150:attempt to concatenate local 'mapname' (a nil value)

What's wrong with it ? I tried to dl other versions and stuffs but it didn't work anyway.

i assume you primarily used 1.1.4. i'm not aware of such a bug you described and can't reproduce.

what language is your client?

Yes, I firstly used 1.1.4 with a French Client. Then I switched to an english Client. Than i downloaded the 1.1.3 version assuming it was a bug of the 1.1.4 but it didn't work in any way.

Here is a screen of the message, i can't expand the LUA error so i can't show you everything

Try re-record with 1.1.4 and english client, since the french localization is on its way (fr localization).
Your made record with your fr client should be deleted, since the mapname's locale couldn't be retrieved.
if the problem persists, please let me know, i'll push the fr localization :>

Liking this quite a bit so far.

One suggestion, if I may, is to give some more options for the minimap button. Unless I missed it somewhere...

I run a square minimap, which the current button doesn't seem to be able to account for (only moves in a circular path when dragged). I really prefer to run with zero minimap buttons, opting for LDB objects to get to these sort of addons whenever possible. If the latter isn't something you're interested in doing, no problems. It would be nice to at least set it relative to a square map though :>

Otherwise, awesome job.

thanks for suggesting, didn't think about those minimaps... looking forward adding this in the next, maybe next but one update.
