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.

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
There still seems to be the problem with linking lines to the chat where mobs hit me. I am using version 2.22 with a german client.
There's something like "|Hunit:0xF530006A593B1C6A" in the message and I get:
Code:
[10:16:00] SendChatMessage(): Invalid escape code in chat message
(tail call): ?
[C]: ?
[C]: ?
[C]: in function `SendChatMessage'
Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2919: in function `ChatEdit_SendText'
Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2932: in function `ChatEdit_OnEnterPressed'

NBs. I have reset the mod via deleting profiles and deleting saved variables.
Now whenever I open up the History window and try to scroll with the mouse I get this error:
Code:
[2008/11/05 20:09:51-5442-x4]: Interface\FrameXML\UIPanelTemplates.lua:230: attempt to index local 'self' (a number value):

Just a note to say how much I love this addon. It is truly one of my very favorites. Currently using it w/ no problems. Great for every class! Love it with my healer especially so I can scroll up and show them "Yes I did heal you! If you died it's not my fault!" Thank you.
Small issue with newest version : playing as a tank the ability tracking (history) doesnt collect every spell / ability i use f.e. it shows by me only the heroic strike history but nothing else.
I'm having an issue with Eavesdrop on my hunter - an error which pops up a lot when my pet attacks. I've determined that the error is caused when my pet's Bloodthirsty talent procs. The error is: "\Interface\AddOns\EavesDrop\EavesDrop.lua: 590: bad argument #3 to 'string_format' (string expected, got nil)"
Bloodthirsty has at least three lines in the combat log when it procs:
"Petname gains Bloodthirsty."
"Petname gains X Happiness from Petname's Bloodthirsty." - this is the one that can appear multiple times, and it's also the one that causes the error.
"Petname's Bloodthirsty fades from Petname."
In v2.21 right clicking the window tab to show options, it gives a lua error in Options.lua:746 : attempt to call global 'InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame' (a nil value)
Edit: it turned out that the version installed by wowmatrix had this bug. Downloaded from Wowinterface, and it works fine.
My eavesdrop (2.2 according to WOWI download file name) links extra text when you attempt to link a combat damage message. The resulting text does not link properly in chat and will not link. You can copy / paste the link and it pastes, so its not a problem with the length or characters (I think) contained in the link.
The full text being linked is:
02:32:56, Moraval's |Hspell:57823:SPELL_DAMAGERevenge hits |Hunit:0xF5300066CF04B642:Anub'ar CultistAnub'ar Cultist for 2149 Physical.
In any event, the extra information about the spellID and the Hunit arent necessary and ought to be eliminated.
i have exactly the same problem, the eavesdrop comes up in party or raid but not when solo? i had a ui collection a while ago and it worked solo. the one i use at mo is atons ui which is great apart from the annoying fact eavesdrop wont work solo
Is there a way to resize the history tracking frame?
I use the largest font and almost everything in that frame shows up as
a bunch of periods. Right now I can try to figure out some spells by the icons,
but its rather tedious to be shift clicking everything trying to find the one I want.
Hi Grayhoof
I noticed that sometimes the experience gained is not displayed correctly in Eavesdrop. For example the quest Into the Scarlet Monastery gives 500 rep and 7200 xp according to the combat log or chat window. Eavesdrop shows 3 entries: +500 (Undercity), +6156(xp), +0(xp). I observed this sometimes completing other quests too.
Thank you for the great mod, it is one of my favorites.
