Guild Lottery

Hello,

"The Endloss Roll is the Biggest Problem ... i think ... :("

have anyone a solution to correct this bug (sry for my english, it not my best foreign language ^^)

Ok I have figured out how to work this add on. I have read like 100 pst on this site about when u do the roll your screen when solid yellow from all the rolls. My WOW ingame name is Tÿrùs. YOU CAN NOT HAVE THOSE IN YOUR NAME. Youyr name has to be plain Jain. EX= Tÿrùs has to be just Tyrus. Hope this helps.

i cant pull up the page too see the tickets or anything any ideas

Ok guys how do u open up the actually window? like to control it, set the times, give poeple tickets and stuff?

I seem to be getting the same ticket number for my 2nd roll. Has anyone else come across this happening.

ex: first roll is 1029 no winner
2nd roll is 1029 no winner

It's done this twice now.

nice idea, shame its agaisnt blizzards TOS

i asked a GM, told of use within guild and was told it was a violation and to remove it

No offense but you might have explained it wrong. This addon does not violate Blizzards TOS. Here is an official blue post from the U.S. Forums.

"Provided that you do not advertise it within in-game channels, and no scamming or exploitative activity takes place, a guild lottery should be okay. Please note that 'potentially okay' does not mean, 'supported'. We will very likely not be in a position to provide support regarding any losses that might be incurred during such a guild event.

I'm unable to endorse any particular Addon. In answer to your question though, If this addon operates exclusively out of the Addons folder, has no components elsewhere and otherwise does not violate our policies, then it sounds like it abides by our Addons guidelines.

Setting up the lottery was easy enough.Ticket sales are manual threw the lottery starter,but managable.
I haven't rolled yet to finish the sequence and and see the end result,but great idea and looks good so far.

The Endloss Roll is the Biggest Problem ... i think ... :(

wich endloss roll ? it roll with me and then it stops... if theres a winner and also if not or wat do you mean ? when a even nummer is rolled ? cause theres non ticket sold thats even u can change that too that theres always a winner . with the following way " quote from thmtrxhsy " The addon already provides basic support for a guaranteed win, if you go into your WTF/Account/SavedVariables/GLottery.lua, change to guaranteed = 1 instead of zero. The other change that needs to be made is is your regular Interface/Addons/Glottery.lua, which is to change newticket=newticket+2; to newticket=newticket+1"

the update for 3.1 just change qoute from thmtrxshy "Go into the \Glottery\ directory and open the file GLottery.lua. You need to find "CalendarNewGuildWideEvent" and replace it with "CalendarNewGuildAnnouncement" twice in the file."

and it comes back in calanader without problems

Anyone know how to stop the endless roll?

Please update for 3.1 !!! :)

This is a really great addon, so I decided to tweak to for my own personal reasons...

Go into the \Glottery\ directory and open the file GLottery.lua. You need to find "CalendarNewGuildWideEvent" and replace it with "CalendarNewGuildAnnouncement" twice in the file.

It's located on line 1316 and 1339. (HnyBear)

The other tweak I made was to make it roll odd numbers as well as even numbers. The addon already provides basic support for a guaranteed win, if you go into your WTF/Account/SavedVariables/GLottery.lua, change to guaranteed = 1 instead of zero. The other change that needs to be made is is your regular Interface/Addons/Glottery.lua, which is to change newticket=newticket+2; to newticket=newticket+1;. I don't know the line numbers.

AS a final change I wanted to have my guild send the money to an alt of mine so I didn't get guild money confused with my own money. I wanted the Guild Spam to say my alt's name instead of the character i was playing on. This can be done by changing the strings in the en_localization file in the addon folder.

So yeah, maybe you will find these useful.

I like this addon. I'm have one slight problem in that on the character i wish to use this on when i start the lottery roll it gets to the stage where it rolls the ticket number but goes no further. On my banking alt with in a 1 man guild i do the roll and it completes perfectly. does anyone know why the roll would be stoping on my main charater?

Such a shame this addon is abandoned, it had great potential, but well...

This addon is in need of serious work. It's a great idea but this software is full of problems. I deinstalled it after using it once for a guild lottery and having to figure out who bought what manually and re-rolling 4 times due to the fact that it kept saying odd number tickets won and it doesn't sell odd number tickets. It wipes out previous data which it should save. The second place winner feature doesn't work. Many other features don't work correctly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT USE THIS.
