JuggyCompare
JuggyCompare is a World of Warcraft addon that makes Juggernaut's Loot Factor
data available to officers in-game. This allows more informed loot decisions
without forcing each officer to tab out to the website, compare any number of
members who sent on an item, and then tabbing back to discuss their opinion
with other officers.
The loot factor data is pulled from JuggyCompare_Data.lua, and I've included
an example of the expected format in case you want to try to replicate it. But
only Juggernaut officers have access to the real data that we use.
Files
JuggyAttendance.lua
Performs several functions related to attendance and loot recording:
- Adds a command to copy a list of everyone in the raid (/att)
- Adds a command to copy a list of loot on a corpse (/lc)
- Adds functionality to broadcast and receive information about loot on a corpse. In case
the person responsible for recording loot can't be in the raid, this allows them to still
use the same copy & paste method instead of typing in item names by hand.
JuggyCompare.lua
Handles all things comparison-related.
JuggyCompare_Data.lua
Stores the data used in the comparison. Ideally pulled daily from a website before raids.
Example format
JuggyCompare_Data = {
["updated"] = "August 30, 2009 00:00",
["Tsigo"] = {
["NAME"] = "Tsigo",
["RANK"] = "Officer",
["RAIDS_30"] = "100%",
["RAIDS_90"] = "100%",
["RAIDS_LT"] = "100%",
["LASTLOOT"] = "2009-08-30",
["LF"] = "0.00",
["SLF"] = "0.00",
["BISLF"] = "0.00",
},
}
JuggyCompare_Nicks.lua
Contains a list of "nicknames" for members. Useful if someone is constantly mis-typing someone's
name, or if a member changes their name and officers are still using the old one out of habit. Note
that this shouldn't be used for abbreviation of names, as the core JuggyCompare has functionality
to match partial names.
Examle format
JuggyCompare_Nicks = {
methos = "Baud",
kamien = "Tsigo",
}

- Woo, automatically map alt names to mains via guild roster info.
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.
