Fleetwood Loot System
Sorry for the lacking updates
I know there are a few bugs since the 3.3 update, I am going to try to fix them when i have more time next week. I will be hopefully be able to release a new fixed version with a couple minor new features soon.
How to use FLS
- Turn on master looter (you need to be the ML)
- When an item drops that is above the filter threshold, a new window will pop up (the master frame)
- You can click a button "Request". Everyone in the raid with this addon installed will get a similar popup (the slave frame)
- They can now see the loot, and select need/offspec/pass for each item
- The ML needs to select an item in his master frame to see the demand for this item
- In the list of people who selected need or offspec, you can click "G" to give the item to the player
- You can click "R" to make that player random 100 - The result will be recorded
Options
You can access the addon settings either through the in-game AddOn settings or through the two commands /fls and /flsm
General Idea
This addon is tailored towards my guild. We use a custom dkp system that is based on a zero sum system with fixed prices. As its not default ZeroSum/Pricing no existing addon is working for us. Also we are using a custom website for DKP written in RubyOnRails. Thus I decided to make an addon that will be more open for guilds with their own solutions who arent using EQDKP or similar systems. Currently it only supports the master looter in finding out who wants what - you will still need to check dkp standing on an external site to determine who is actually going to get the item.
Generally this addon is not meant to be a standalone DKP mod. You will still be required to use an external website to award DKP and then reimport the new dkp standings back into the addon before the next raid. We generally do not trust addons enough for them to handle dkp without some kind of external storage (like a website/database).
The master loter will get an additional popup when looting giving him the option to send information about the loot to everyone in the raid with this addon installed. The recepients will get a different popup showing all the loot and giving them the option to select need/greed/pass for all items. The selections will automatically be sent back to the master looter who then quickly gets an overview of who needs what item.
Additional features
- display of item id and item level in tooltip
- display of item price in the tooltip (*)
- import DKP standings from the data file into the officer notes
(*) requies use of data file
Data file
The data file (data.lua) will contain information about dkp tables, which characters belong to each user, each user's current dkp standings for each table, item prices and which table they belong to. Extracting this information from your DKP tracking website/software is not part of this addon. I will maybe explain the structure in more detail later (our current data.lua is part of the package so look at it). Generally you will have to download a new data file before each raid from your guild's website and export it into the guild officer notes.

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.
