NRT

Note: I have the permission from Rabbit to host this addon here. Since I'm the person who originally requested him to make it.  :)

When a boss dies, you get a popup asking if you want to take raid attendance now - doing so creates a new table of all the members in your raid + people that whisper you with their mains name (who must be in the guild), and presents it to you in a copy-able text box so you can easily export it to your web DKP system.

It also tracks all epic+ quality items that are looted, when they were looted, who looted them and what mob they were looted from.

It also takes whispers from people on standy (outside the raid) during the time period specified when a boss has just died. By whispering your name, it will check the guildlist and then add you to the kill. You can also add people manually later afterwards.

It announces in guild chat when a boss dies and attendance is being taken, you can also set it to announce in a seperate channel at the same time - this is for unguilded alts that are in the channel. They can whisper their mains name to get added.

When the set time of taking attendance is over, the mod announces it.

It also features a filter that make sure certain bosses and items will not be tracked

Before anyone asks, you delete tracked raids and loot by shift + clicking them.

It's very easy to use and appears as an icon around your minimap. There's more features which you will discover very quickly. When I have more time I will update this description.

- .NRT/BDKP/TypingIndicator: Blizzard. Nuff said.

- Only sanitize names if the direct input from the player doesn't match any attendance filtering rules.

- Uppercase any first letter we find, not just characters conveniently recognized by Lua. Also don't reply more than once that

- Added Magrigosa to ignored bosses list.

Installation Guide

1. Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
2. Download the mod you want to install
   • Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
   • Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
   • If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
3. Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
   Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
   • Windows
     • Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
     • WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
     • WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
   • Mac Users
     • StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
4. Verify your WoW Installation Path
   That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
5. Move to the Addon folder
   • Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
   • Go into the "Interface" folder.
   • Go into the "AddOns" folder.
   • In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
   • The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
   • Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
6. Start World of Warcraft
7. Make sure AddOns are installed
   • Log in
   • At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
   • If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
   • If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.
