AwowLab Overlay v0.2.0

An early, still-iterating preview of the AwowLab Overlay — a lightweight, always-on-top damage meter for World of Warcraft that reads your combat log as the game writes it. No addon, no in-game overhead, no network access — it reads the log file and draws, nothing else.

This is a 0.x preview under active development, so expect rough edges and changes between versions.

What's new since 0.1.0

• Mythic+ runs are grouped. The segment picker lists every run you've done, each collapsing into its own group of trash and boss pulls — earlier runs no longer disappear when a new key starts. A segment is parsed only when you click into it, so the list stays instant.
• Pick your language yourself. Language selection moved into Settings and is chosen manually; the overlay no longer follows the WoW client. A settings button in the top row also lets you change your Logs folder without restarting.
• Meters match Warcraft Logs. Pet damage is now attributed to the pet's owner the way the logs do it, so per-player totals line up. A player's pet abilities are grouped by pet type in the breakdown.
• Cleaner enemy and "taken by" lists. Same-named enemies merge into one row, players and their pets are kept off the enemy lists, and environmental damage is labeled instead of showing a blank source.
• Copy a report to your clipboard with one click to paste your pull summary anywhere.
• The live meter slides across whatever pull is currently active, so "Current" always shows the fight you're in.
• Smoother window dragging, an auto-sized boss-phase editor, and matching drill-downs between the overlay and the full AwowLab app.

Getting started

1. Download AwowLabOverlay.exe below — a single self-contained file, nothing to install
2. In WoW, enable System → Network → Advanced Combat Logging
3. Start logging with /combatlog (or an addon that toggles it for you)

The overlay finds your Logs folder automatically (or point it at the right one from the settings button) and stays on top of the game window. Position and settings persist between sessions. New installs come up in English; pick your language in Settings.

Requirements

Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and a Vulkan-capable GPU.

Full source code is in this repository under AGPL-3.0. The overlay is the standalone companion to AwowLab, the full combat log replayer and analysis tool.

AwowLab Overlay v0.1.0

First public preview of the AwowLab Overlay - a lightweight, always-on-top damage meter for World of Warcraft that reads your combat log as the game writes it. No addon, no in-game overhead, no network access - it reads the log file and draws, nothing else.

This is an early release and still under active development, so expect rough edges and changes between versions.

Getting started

1. Download AwowLabOverlay.exe below - a single self-contained file, nothing to install
2. In WoW, enable System -> Network -> Advanced Combat Logging
3. Start logging with /combatlog (or an addon that toggles it for you)

The overlay finds your Logs folder automatically, comes up in your WoW client language, and stays on top of the game window. Position and settings persist between sessions.

Highlights

• Live DPS / HPS / damage-taken meters
• Pull history - flip back through earlier pulls mid-fight
• Current pull, dungeon, or session views
• Death recap and per-spell player breakdowns
• Enemy damage - click a boss or add for its own ability breakdown
• Avoidable-damage view
• Mob weighting - down-weight unimportant adds so the meter shows real progress
• Boss phase splits you can set up right in the overlay
• Class-colored bars
• Speaks your language - matches the WoW client automatically (English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian; Korean and Chinese clients currently see English)

Requirements

Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and a Vulkan-capable GPU.
