Master looter GUI - 0.3.5-beta

EPGP Lootmaster

EPGP Lootmaster provides a nice GUI for distributing loot and GP to the raid.

It sends a popup and a message to all raid members with the question wether they want the loot or not and sends this response to the master looter. The ML gets a nice list of every raider's choices sorted by EP/GP (more info on EPGP here).

If you like EPGPLootmaster and wish to support the project, please donate here

Whisper system

This mod nolonger requires everyone in your raid to install it! Raid members can now just whisper the master looter with a simple message:

/w masterlooter !epgp need/greed/pass [itemlink]

This, however, will not send the current equipment to the master looter ui. It's still strongly suggested that everyone installs the mod, but it's nolonger mandatory. The master looter, of course, still needs to install it ;)

Installation

Just copy the epgp_lootmaster and epgp_lootmaster_ml directories from the zipfile to your addons directory or use the Curse Installer. When you configure your addons in wow you'll get two entries:
  • EPGP LootMaster - Core: Everyone in raid needs to enable this.
  • EPGP LootMaster - ML: Only Master Looter needs to enable this, most raiders will probably get dependency missing because EPGP isn't installed. This is no problem, just leave it disabled. The Master Looter however does need to install EPGP.

Config

/lm options for some basic options.
  • Auto announce threshold: sets what kind of item raid members automatically get to see.
  • Auto looter: sets a raid members that will automatically receive BoE and BoU items below the threshold (for disenchantment or bank).
  • Listen for incoming monitor updates: Enabling this will make your client listen from updates from the master looter. It will show you the exact same interface as the master looter. This way you could help deciding who gets the loot.

Use

Just install this mod on every raid member. Set someone up a master looter. As soon as the ML tries to loot something, epgp_lootmaster will detect it and will try to handle the distribution for you. epgp_lootmaster will also handle the GP distribution for you and should automatically disable the EPGP GP input popup. You can also manually disable this popup from the EPGP options panel.

/lm version or /lm versioncheck

This will show you an interface where you can see wether the members of your guild or raid have installed lootmaster and what version.

Let me know!

Please let me know what you think of my mod (good or bad). Your comments allow me to improve EPGPLootmaster so please don't hesitate to make tickets and add comments.

    Need to remove the auto removal for those on standby after each Boss EP award. It is annoying if you are like me and are more often then not on the standby list. I made an addon to watch for the whisper but the lootmaster disliked it. I asked why and received no response.

    The only reason I can think of is that they want to boot those who are not on standby but are in the list. To resolve this there would be a method to boot people from the list on command.

    As Mack already said, it's part of the EPGP addon.
    There is an option in the EPGP addon's configuration.
    The lootmaster, or whomever is tracking the EPGP at the time would have to disable that feature.

    FWIW, we also use that feature, and while it may be somewhat annoying, it takes a burden of the tracker, to constantly need to verify people are still there.

    You also don't need to be on the toon that is on standby either, just whisper from your alt "epgp standby macmania" to be put back on.

    This is something that involves the main EPGP addon, not EPGPLootmaster.

    I am looking for a possible alternative to bidder for our guilds masterlooter, and i want to get info ahead of time. I was wondering if this interfaces with guildlaunch's rapid raid easily. Also I see that you are working on being able to preload gp values for things like ony's head, by this do you mean something along the lines of using atlasloot or something so that the ML could spend an hour or so and preenter a dungeons gp for everything that has dropped in the server?

  • mackatack said 

    Well... GP values are still calculated using EPGP as always, there are just a few items that require a custom value. Therefore i hardly expect a master looter to spend an hour setting things up, it's more like 5 mins to setup the entire addon (along with custom buttons etc).

    Im not quite sure how guildlaunch's system works, so you'd have to test that for yourself.

    Problem:
    We normally have one person, who gives EP and several other people, who contribute the loot, so give GP. Now I know there is a problem with this setup because the GP will be messed up, e.g. kinda reset.
    Do you know what I mean? Is this caused by your addon or by epgp?

    You maybe want to read this:

    Thank you!

    I've already explained what is causing this. Scroll down a little. The epgp maintainers (me included) are working on a fix for this problem, just sit tight for a little longer.

    I ran into an interesting problem in Onyxia last night.
    When it came to the head, since it doesn't have any GP value associated to it came up with zero. However, we're handing it out for the cost of the ring that you obtain from the quest.
    Now, being the dork that I am, I forgot to enter the value, and after everyone did their selection, I wound up discarding so I could enter the value before the announcement (using manual announces).
    We did another round and I went to award it to the winner. There I noticed that only the "mainspec" selection had the correct value, and "minor" and "offspec" both showed as zero.

    Another thing that I noticed is that the GP value in the roll frame isn't populated with the value entered in the value box on the lootmaster screen. Seems that value is always based on the item being announced.

    I'll let you know any other quirks I come across.
    But so far this is looking and working very nicely overall. Certainly sped up our loot distribution, even the first time it was used in a full raid environment by everyone.

    Hi hadens,

    Thanks for your message.

    Im currently working on a tool for epgplootmaster which allows you to define custom values for specific items up front. So you can set Onyxia's head to 100GP before the raid and you don't have to think about it anymore while raiding. This will also allow the minor and offspec values to be correct and same for the roll frame.

    Besides that, this version will also keep a log of looted items, who got the item from which boss and it will also remember who else wanted the item and their standings. This will provide more transparency afterwards.

    Hey folks, i'd like to hear your comments on the new EPGPLootmaster release. Was the new button configuration straightforward and easy to setup? Which button configuration did you decide to use?

    Are the GP values on the new buttons multiples of the addon calculated value? (1=Full; 0.5=half GP; etc...)

    I think it's in the tooltip if you hover over the field.
    And if i recall correctly, you can either enter absolute values, i.e.: "100" or percentages, i.e.: "50%".

    Yes, I see it in the tooltip now... you input as percentages.
    This is GREAT!!

    I've been having problems with EPGPlootmaster for quite a while. Sometimes (without apparent reason), no GP are added. But yesterday it was far worse - during the entire raid I added GP and made sure everyone had gotten them, but after the raid was over it turns out that at least for the vast majority of people, maybe for all, the GP reverted back!
    Despite the fact that the log displays them getting the GP! Could it be that the loot master giving the loot and GP also has to be the person giving the EP? (Someone else in the raid was responsible for recurring EP).
    Either way, it would be VERY helpful if the log contained information on HOW MANY GP the person has BEFORE and AFTER the addition - this would make the addon much more reliable and auditable.

    Yes, numerous threads have been started on the EPGP forums about this. This is a major shortcoming of the EPGP system or the officer notes where the values are stored, really. Only ONE person should handle EP and GP in a raid or you will get this kind of troubles. Let me try to explain what happend:


    Lets say raider 1 has 100 EP and 50 GP at the start of a raid and you have one person handling EP and another GP. The officer notes get updated every 10 secs (yes, omg!)

    Raider 1 EPGP: 100,50
    Leader 1 and Leader 2 have 100,50 for Raider 1 in their officer notes.
    Leader 1 awards 150 GP to Raider 1
    Leader 1 now has 100,200 in his note, but this gets transmitted after 10 secs.
    Leader 2 still has 100,50 in his note for Raider 1
    Leader 2 awards 100 EP to the raid, so adds that to Raider 1's local value
    Leader 2 writes 200,50 to the officer notes.

    So you can see, if EPGP modifications are done by two different players within about 10 secs, they will over write one another's values. Therefore

    !!WARNING!! ONLY LET ONE PERSON DISTRIBUTE EP AND GP IN A SINGLE RAID !!WARNING!!

    I have decided to make an in between release before fixing the whispering system. Tell your raiders to upgrade to 0.4.3, im sure you will enjoy it!

    Another new beta (0.4-beta2)!

    Buttons are now fully configurable from the config panel. Both client and master looter are now backward compatible with older versions. However, be aware that older clients will not be able to show your custom buttons and will show the default ones.

    Next beta will have a fix for the broken whisper system, once that is complete i will release a stable version. Your comments please!

    We seem to have a problem with the whisper functionality.
    We tried it yesterday and more often than not it wouldn't register the whisper. It would just simply display it to me.
    I did have the filter to remove the whisper commands turned on.
    It worked every now and then though, so there seems to be some inconsistency to it.
    We tried it with different people being the lootmaster with the same result.

    And a feature request: Some means to report the results would be nice.

    Im aware of this problem and im working hard to resolve this. But since it's only happening so now and then, it's really hard to debug ;)

    Just want let you know that this addon is really great. It's amazing how this make your live easier when you are the Master Looter. I'm ML from my guild by years and always wanted something like this. The EPGP system is also be best loot system we tried so far. About suggestions, I have little one, I think the configuration interface need more rearrangement. Is pretty confuse to configure it. But again, the addon is simple amazing!
