Announcing The Killing Fields, a new area for WarcraftRealms

January 9,2007 23:14 - Rollie

 

Killing Fields is a battleground stat tracking mod for World of Warcraft.

Killing Fields quietly runs in the background, collecting information about your battleground experiences. Then, you can upload your data file to WarcraftRealms.com for compilation and display on the site.

There should be no noticable effect of running the mod in game, other than simple notification messages of when a battleground completion has been detected.

There are many stats tracked. You can see examples of the type of stats tracked here:


I chose to put this into another mod to allow people to run either mod without requiring the other. Hopefully this will increase overall usage.

For now, I am only accepting US submissions as I am still testing EU data. If you would like to help me test EU data, please send me an email or PM.

The update process is currently manually run so I can be sure that updates are correct. Very soon though, the updates will be automatic.

As always, if you have any suggestions or thoughts, please post in the forums!

I will be adding additional displays and stats as time goes by!

Download the mod, and find more info here.

Can I assume you have to actually be in the BGs to get data (rather than it acting like Censusplus and just seeing who's in a BG without you having to be there yourself)? If so, I won't be able to help with testing as I'm a non-pvper, but if it works from outside BGs I'm happy to give a hand for EU stuff ;)

Sounds a neat idea anyway! :)

Oh yeah, it only tracks info on a battleground you are in and play to completion.

I go to upload my data for this and I cannot do it. The browse button is grayed out. I am not sure if you have disabled it for some reason or if this is a bug. :mrgreen:

I can't wait to upload all my losing BGs! lol

Well, unfortunately, I found a bug with versoin 0.4 so you'll have to grab the latest =x

That is why the upload button was greyed out.

In addition, when you get latest, all data will be purged and started fresh.


Sorry!

I can't keep up. All my Tuesday data (0.3) was invalid on Wednesday, and all my Wednesday data (0.4) was invalid this morning. The price of using beta software during patch day, eh?

WTF does QQ stand for =/

Cry... it's supposed to be two eyes with tears, apparently. Not an expression I've ever used, it's too popular with the trolls on the official forums for me to like it ;)

It means 'cry' or 'cry more'.

I really would like to help testing (playing on EU-Die Nachtwache).

I sent you a PM... waiting for response. :)

Have you accounted for Eye of the Storm yet?

On completion of my first Eye of the Storm BG I got an error from the mod.
Rollie says:

I have not done an Eye of the Storm yet =(

Can you tell me what the error was? I'm almost 61, I'll try an Eye of the Storm as soon as I can.
