Warcraft Recorder is a desktop screen recorder. It watches the WoW combat log file for interesting events, records them, and presents a user interface in which the recordings can be viewed.
Windows is currently the only supported operating system.
- Download and run the most recent installer from the releases section.
- Launch the application and click the settings cog, then fill out the settings page.
- Enable advanced combat logging.
- Retail: Install and configure the SimpleCombatLogger addon (CurseForge, Wago).
- Classic: Install and configure the AutoCombatLogger addon (CurseForge, Wago).
If you are a retail arena player, I also recommend the jaxSurrender addon.
You can test that Warcraft Recorder works by clicking the test icon with World of Warcraft running after you have completed the above setup steps. This runs a short test of the recording function.
Please create an issue, I will get to it eventually. Bear in mind maintaining this is a hobby for me, so it may take me some time to comment. If you think you can improve something, feel free to submit a PR.
I've created a dedicated discord for this project, feel free to join here.
If you're interested in getting involved please drop me a message on discord and I can give you access to our development channel. Also see contributing docs.
The recording done by Warcraft Recorder is made possible by packaging up OBS. We wouldn't stand a chance at providing something useful without it. Big thanks to the OBS developers.
This application is also heavily reliant on OBS Studio Node to provide bindings to libOBS. Special mention for the folks over at Streamlabs for open-sourcing the project.
The app is built with Electron and React, using the boilerplate provided by the ERB project.
