Hi, I'm the author of Warcraft Recorder, and I'm trying to implement classic arena support.

On retail we use the "Simple Combat Logger" addon, which has a feature to overrun the logging by 30 secs when in arena to catch trailing events. I find myself in need of similar behaviour on classic as there is no robust "end of arena" event other than the ZONE_CHANGE, which often is getting lost when using ACL due to the flushing of the combat log.

The code to do this in SCL is here: https://github.com/csutcliff/SimpleCombatLogger/blob/main/Main.lua#L386.

Would you be open to implementing such a mechanism / accepting a PR with it, such that I can advise classic players using WR to install ACL?

Thanks!

I added that too. Need to test the new alpha version.

Amazing. Thanks again. I'll take it and let you know how I get on.

I can add that. I haven't done arenas or even PvP in a while. Have you seen any other issues with arena combat logging?

Thanks, that would be awesome. I haven't seen any other issues (although my testing has been fairly limited). I've mostly just been using /combatlog given the ZONE_CHANGE issues I mentioned. I'll be sure to report back with how I get on.

I added an option for the delay. I don't do arena so you may need to test it properly. It's the latest pre-release. There is an option to control the delay in seconds if that matters.

Thanks! Seems to work great.

The 30 secs default is also perfect it seems.

I'd love to include this in our docs, could you publish a release including this when it suits?

I need to do some more testing but I will try to get a release out soon.

Brilliant thanks. I'd also love the same thing for BGs (we also rely on ZONE_CHANGE events that get lost currently. Is that something you'd be up for including also? I'd be happy to contribute a PR.

Closing as the feature should be available in the latest releases. Let me know if there are any issues with it or the arena / battleground logging.

Just dropping a message to say this seem to work great! Thanks again.

Glad it is working out. As I said if you see any issues with logging arenas, battlegrounds, or specific ones, please let me know.
