Vigil 0.4.0
What's new
The in-game addon is now 0.3.1, and Vigil now supports TBC Anniversary.
- Live fight panel in game. Damage, DPS and idle time update in real time as you fight, even solo.
- Boss intel in game. Type
/vigil intelto see the current boss's notes without leaving WoW. - Callouts remind you of key boss mechanics as the fight goes.
- On WoW: Forever the panel uses the game's built-in damage meter, because Blizzard restricts combat events for addons there.
- TBC Anniversary support. Combat log parsing is fixed: damage and DPS were wrong, and uploads were rejected. TBC spell icons now show up too.
- Game version badge. Vigil shows which game your log comes from, and warns you when you're paired with a guild from a different game.
- A note on timing: WoW writes the combat log to disk in 48 KB chunks, so the desktop view gets fights in batches. That's fast in raids and groups and slower solo. The in-game panel is always live.
Update the addon
After updating the app, open Vigil's Settings and find the In-game addon section. Each WoW install with an older copy shows an Update button. Click it, then fully restart World of Warcraft (quit to desktop). /reload does not pick up the new addon files.
Updating
- Windows and Linux: Vigil updates itself. Restart when it says an update is ready, or use Check for updates in the tray menu.
- macOS: builds are not code signed yet, so auto-update does not apply. Download the new
.dmgbelow and replace Vigil in Applications. On first launch, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway, or runxattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Vigil.appin Terminal.
