Hi there!

I'd like to introduce alternative online combatlog parser and get your feedbacks and feature requests. At the moment:
  • Parser works correctly with Mists of Pandaria logs - splitting and detecting combats, no need to upload every combat in separate log.
  • Parser distinguishes logs from live and beta servers and uses apppropriate spell names and hints.
  • Parser is multi-lingual, supports all WoW locales. Support means not just localizaed spell names, but complete: interface, spell names and hints, creatures names. You may browse any log in any language, and only character names will stay original. (Atm. fully translated are English, Russian, Portuguese and Chinise locales, German and Spanish are partially translated, others are still in queue)
  • Parser is more flexible with filtering and visualization of the log. You may plot on graph almost everything.
  • Originaly based on WoL parser layout.
  • All basic analyse functionality is there.
  • DPS/HPS ratings are there (works with live logs only).
  • Uploading software is .Net 2.0 based, supports uploading and streaming logs in real-time.
  • Here is the english main page: http://wowraider.ru/reports/index.cdiml?locale=en
Please, thest it and write your thoughts, criticism and feature offers. Feel free to use it for your beta raids.
If you want to participate in project as localizer and locale supporter, contact me via Support form (in english or russian please).
Hope you'll like our parser.

Some thoughts when looking over it:

    What is Account Status?" - Is in all russian and hard to find an English language change, had to use Google Translate with Chrome. When going to the payment of Premium status that is all in Russian too.

    When taken to the Register section of the site, it reverts back to Russian and needs to be manually changed to English.

    Also need a choice of uploading personal logs that are not tied to the guild like how WMO does it. Plus the ability to merge logs like how the old WWS and WMO do it.

    The Armoury link for Blood Legion is wrong it is pointing to: http://eu.battle.net/wow/ru/guild/Illidan/Blood Legion /

As well, for the ability to upload logs it looks like someone has control of our guild on there? Not sure if it's an admin but that would make us not able to upload.

1) Account status is not related to logs. It's just possibility to remove ads from site for small fee.
2) Register link is fixed now.
3) Currently assigning logs to the guild being used to detect actual armory participants by guild's realm. Will think about it.
4) Guild section like progress and external links are currently in work, known issue.
5) Transferred guild to you, registered it to upload logs from DS contest.

Thanks for your feedback.

For example on Ultraxion; some people go down and some people go up and the combat log cannot read the other 'realm' due to Blizzard's part so numbers can be skewed if say Person A logged and is in a different group than you of when you go down, your numbers can be lower on his log.

So you would merge people's multiple logs before uploading the data to get a more accurate log.

Where can you manage your logs? I cannot seem to find it for where you can delete logs or set them to public/private.

Should this work like additional possibility to merge 2 logs into one after they've been uploaded, or should it be available while streaming? like 2 guys uploading same log into 1 report?
Never seen such feature, but comfy indeed on figths with realms or large scale, like ToFW council

Atm you can't. Just browsing/analysing part being tested. But of course you'll be able to. Delete/hide or make private

In the past it's been done from the Upload Client with two combat log files that merge. I am not sure if that would work with stream logging. WowMeterOnline still has that feature if you would want to check it out.

Update 06/07/12:
  • fixed guilds links, guild indexes ajusted to support different regions
  • implemented guild permission levels. There are 4 different permission levels:
    • Reader
      • can access guild logs, even marked as Private (except 'Officers only').
    • Writer
      • can write and manage own combat logs on behalf of the guild.
    • Moderator
      • can edit guild's recruiting information. (coming soon)
      • can give Member's or Raider's permissions to other users.
      • can manage all logs, uploaded on behalf of the guild.
      • can access and manage logs with 'Officers only' restriction level.
    • Administrator
      • can give Officer's permissions to other users.
      • can transfer guild to another user.
      • can rename the guild.
  • implemented logs management section with different possibilities, depending on permission level (read above)
    • possibility to delete log.
    • possibility to change log's access level. There are 4 different access levels:
      • Public - logs available for browsing by all Wowraider visitors. Logs are in all indexes, ratings and guild calendar.
      • Hidden - logs available for everyone, who got direct link to the report. Logs are not shown in indexes, ratings or guild calendar. Hidden logs became public automatically in 1 week after uploading.
      • Private - logs available only for those, who got guild permission level Reader and above. All other users has no access to private logs.
      • Officers only - logs available only for Moderators and Administrators. Top Secret logs.
    At the moment you should change log access level manually after uploading or starting streaming. In the next uploader version you'll be able to do that directly from uploader program.

Uploader updated to v5.4b:
  • added automatic update system
  • now you can set log access level on uploading/streaming
  • added log splitter utility
  • added logs merge utility (it's pretty slow and resource consuming, but almost perfectly accurate, unlike the WMO's, merged log from ultraxion click 'Load Data')
Here is current version: http://wowraider.ru/pubfiles/cluploader.exe?ver=54b
