How to stop the spaztastic combat log

[Matt (Ghoulie)]

So as it stands every time you zone your combat log will recompile.  I believe this has to do with Blizzard compiling your combat log from the server and no longer housing it on your computer.  This allows combat logs to be synced more easily and also allows them to be arbitrarily long.  But I, and I assume others, find this annoying as hell when ever you zone.  Thus a way to stop it.

Instructions
1. Select the “Everything” tab
2. /script Blizzard_CombatLog_CurrentSettings.settings.showHistory = false

This will prevent all combat log messages from being re-filtered when you zone.

Side-Effects:
This will also prevent you from seeing old messages with the “Everything” tab.

How to Undo:
If you accidentally set this on the wrong tab, select the broken tab and type:
/script Blizzard_CombatLog_CurrentSettings.settings.showHistory = true

This will stop it from occurring when you have the everything tab up for other tabs do the same thing with the other tab active.

If you turn this off however will it allow you to run things that parse the Combatlog? Omen2 comes to mind as something you might wanna check that with.
