WWS Officer accout login :D

[Othbarty]

The officer login to the WWS accout can be used to upload logs for the officers, and the details are:   Username: officer@othbarty (ye, ye, i know...)
Password: SOGofficer
To record a report, type /combatlog at the beginning of the raid and when the raid is over. Then upload this report to the WWS using the above username and password. The client is a JAVA Applett downloaded from here.

You will get a line in your chat window (or the general chat window (?)) about the placement, but I think its located in the YourWowDirectory/Logs directory by default.

Remember to rename/delete this file after you uploaded it, so you don't have to upload it again (Not sure if this is neccesary, but it prolly won't hurt.)

Slightly more detailed explanation as to how to use WWS from another thread.

WWS is really simple.

When in raid, type:

/combatlog

....console should report that the combatlog is now being logged.  To turn logging off simply type /combatlog again.  This logging does not add any sort of noticeable overhead to your PC as it is data the PC already receives.

At the end of the raid go to //www.wowwebstats.com and click on the large button (with graphical cogs) that says "Start WWS Client".

When the client opens, type in the following info at the top:

WWS Login: officer@othbarty
WWS Password: SOGofficer

Click 'Add combatlog' and navigate to your C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Logs folder and select the file called Wowcombatlog.txt.

Add a note at the bottom of the client in the 'Raid comment' window to describe what the log contains, e.g. "ZA" or "Kara & first boss ZA".  You do not need to put a date in the comment as dates are contained within the log and shown on the WWS site.

Then click the Host Report... button.  The report will now be processed and uploaded.  When the upload is complete you will get an anonymous URL reported in the client window and your browser will open up a window in which the report and URL for the guild report is shown.  

The guild report is the URL you use for members.  The anonymous URL is where all names have been changed so nobody can see who did what.

Personally, I then rename Wowcombatlog.txt to reflect the date of the log, so something like today's raid would be renamed to "080603 Wowcombatlog.txt".  The logs folder does not need a wowcombatlog file in it so it can be deleted if you want.  It is however sensible to start each new raid with a fresh log (by having renamed the old one) so as to avoid having to edit the log before upload.  For example, if you try to upload a log which covers raids on both Sunday and Monday then the upload will fail as it cannot process logs which span longer than 12 hours.  Hence if you forget to have renamed to deleted the old logs you will need to open the wowcombatlog.txt in notepad and simply delete all the old lines (each line starts with the date so it is kind of obvious) and then try the upload again once the log has been trimmed.

Hope this explains how to use WWS.  It really is very simple.
