Changing timestamp in combatlog

Guides UI and Macro

Hi all,

Just wondering if its possible to change the /combatlog timestamp value to GetServerTime() found here: wow . gamepedia . com/API_GetServerTime

I am new to lua so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I only know how to change the chat window timestamps, so I can’t help answer your actual question.

But I can offer a small formatting tip:

` [insert url here] `

produces

wow.gamepedia.com/API_GetServerTime

well - the way the combat log works - the messages it prints are not always happening now. So, the Combat Log has an internal data source which has its own notion of time. So - any attempts by you will just be applying an offset to the time that the combat log has.

That said. Check out the ScrollingMessageFrameMixin - these days it is not enough to hook AddMessage you also need to hook BackFillMessage

You can secure hook them, then in your hook - grab the message that has just been added and reformat it
