List of game events?

[bahzeel]

I'm looking around for a list of the events the game generates that I can use in a custom UI mod. Most specifically, as I realize that there is a very large number of them, I'm looking for combat log / chat msg events.

Is there any sort of systematic listing of the events somewhere? Is this data I can get out of the game files? (oh my - that's going to be entertaining :P)

Thanks!

There is a fairly complete listing of the events you can respond to and the WoW API @ WoWWiki.

You can also find this same information in the UI.xsd file in your interface directory (get the official Blizzard WoW customization tool to create these files) @ http://www.blizzard.com/support/wow/?id=aww01669p.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Reverser - I found that list of game events - very helpful indeed. I've also found a standalone DPS tool that has the basic mechanics that I'm looking for (DPS for a combat period rather than a time window), and it even relies on game events for picking up damage done.

So a few minor modifications (or so the theory goes), and it'll also track damage dealt to the player via the appropriate game events, and *poof* - a DPS Taken mod!
