combat-log-parsing

Parse World of Warcraft combat logs by applying matcher patterns and regex-based parsing to extract event data. This approach decodes combat log messages by mapping specific regex patterns to defined message types and event structures.

A 64-bit GUID in Classic WoW combat logs contains embedded entity type bits that identify whether the entity is a player, pet, or creature. Understanding this bit structure is essential for accurately interpreting entity data during combat log parsing.

Add a new event type to a WoW combat log parser by creating a regex pattern for the message and implementing a corresponding matcher. This process involves defining the message type, writing the regex, and debugging parsing failures against sample log data.

Combat log parsing fails for specific Turtle WoW raid events when the regex matcher patterns do not align with the vanilla combatlog package's message format. Debugging requires verifying the event type definition and testing the regex against the raw log string.

Yes, the vanilla combatlog package can handle custom spell effects in Classic WoW by extending its parser architecture. You implement new matcher patterns to intercept the spell event messages and extract the effect data using regex-based parsing.

Debug combat log parsing failures in Chronicle by isolating the raw log line and testing it against your regex matcher. Verify the 64-bit GUID extraction and ensure the event type's message pattern correctly maps to the parser's expected input format.
