EasyDKP is an in game DKP management system, for a simple queue system DKP. So you can view and manage your EQDKP in game.
A simple queue works as follows :
Players earn DKP however you choose to do it. As an example : items cost their itemLevel so when an item drops the player that gets it is charged its itemLevel and the other players earn that number of points shared out - eg: Naxx 10 epic is iLvl 200, with 10 players in raid they earn 20 points each - 200/10 = 20.
Loot is offered to the person at the top of the list, if class appropriate. If they want it they lose the value eg: 200 for that Naxx 10 epic, and thus drop down the queue. If they pass it gets offered to the next on the list etc.
EasyDKP makes this system easy.
You can export your DKP data from your EQDKP site and then in game click the appropriate classes and have displayed in chat the queue of those classes. eg: a spellpower cloth chest drops, so you offer it to mages, warlocks & priests. Tick those boxes press ok and get the list.
Once you allocate the item EasyDKP then subtracts the itemLevel value from that player thus adjusting the queue in game. So that as you progress through a raid on that night the dkp list in game is always up to date.
Once the night is over use CT_RaidTracker or similar to upload the results to your EQDKP website for a permanent record of the looting.
EasyDKP is a ground up re-write for Ace3 of two old no longer supported addons called DKPInfo2 and EasyDKP which needed updating to work for WotLK and which I'd heavily modded for my own guild. Having decided to go Ace3 and merge two addons into one I created this addon page afresh as the resulting addon will achieve the same end result as those two did pre-patch but will be a completely new addon.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- 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".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has 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.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- 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
- Start World of Warcraft
- 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.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
