Stripping Recount of it's non useful functions

Not sure where I should have put this, but I figured it would take some script modifying to do, so I will ask it here. I want to strip recount down so that it only gathers certain stats, like hps, healing done, etc. I would think doing that would make the cpu work less, and use less memory. Question is, how would I go about doing that?

I'm just curious, but why not just use Skada and disable the modules you don't wish to use?

Because, while absorbs can't be recorded perfectly with any program, recount does a much better job at it than skada.

Once you do that, you have..... Skada!

Can I actually get some useful input, rather than spam?

Personally, I think it would just be easier to convert Recount's GuessedAbsorbs module to Skada's formatting, and use Skada instead, if the guessed absorbs is the only reason you prefer Recount.

And really, that conversion would likely only be rearranging the input and output of the functions to match what Skada gives/expects.

Lighten up. These forums are not so serious that people can't toss in a bit of humor if they feel like it.

They must have changed a bit in the past 3 months...

Being snarky is a bad way to get people to help you.

Ultimately, don't bother. It's not worth the time trying to strip out everything that you don't need, since it wasn't built to work like that in the first place. You would save more time requesting what you wanted to be added to Skada, or do it yourself by pulling code out of Recount.

I believe that Shadowed is referring to Taryble's suggestion.

He wants to take Recount, and take out what he doesn't want, but he still wants Recount. Taryble's suggestion was to take the code that Recount uses, and move the features into Skada.
