Smart raid loot and DKP tracker with automated standby tracking (using the MagicDKP_Client). New raid bosses will be learned automatically when encountered although on occasion special manual configuration needs to be done. Works for all Burning Crusade 25-man raids and all current WotLK raids.
The addon also supports automatic handling of alts (either manually configured or by scanning guild notes), replacing any alt names with mains before doing the CTRT export.
CTRT Import Issue:
If you get a message "Invalid DKP String", read this page
Changes in r218:
- Added preloaded data for Icecrown Citadel. Still pending finalized data as more wings are unlocked.
- Special handling added for Deathwhisper and Gunship encounters. Note that Gunship battle requires localization if you're not in an English locale.
- Ignore Emblem of Frost.
Changes in r209:
- Core: Fixed nil error for unknown items.
- Core: Added Emblem of Triumph to default ignore list.
- Bidder: Don't ask to do bids if you're not the loot master /raid leader or if the core addon is disabled.
Changes in r204:
- Core: Fixed incorrect GUID for Anub'arak.
- Core: Fixed issue with faction champions counter where the counter would be incremented twice for a single kill.
Changes in r203:
- Core: Fixed faction champions death counts. Mindslip due to being away from Lua for a while - arrays start with 1, not 0.
Changes in r202:
- Core: Added tenative support for both 10 and 25 man faction champions using new special handling code. This is NOT tested and might be broken. I need people to test this to let me know if it works since I no longer play.
Changes in r201:
- Core: Added Trial of the Crusader bosses. Thanks to Venara. Missing the 'Faction Champions' encounter as for now, the unit id's are not known.
- Bumped toc to 3.2
Changes in r199:
- Core: Made '/md bid' without arguments show the Bidder window.
- Bidder: Fixed some widths in the headers and started some cleanup.
Changes in r198:
- Bidder: Don't enable loot events unless you're in a raid.
- Bidder: Enabled auto-bid feature which will automatically start bids for items above the configured threshold (epic by default). By default a dialog pops up asking for auto-bid start. This dialog can be disabled. Note that if a bid is still in progress, you'll always be asked whether or not to start a new bid.
- Bidder: Removed some debug output.
Changes in r197:
- Core: When looting an item for banking or when you press cancel, the item is no longer forced to be a bank item or forced to be ignored in the future. To ignore or designate bank items going forward you need to edit the item in the item database.
- Core: Disabled loot dup detection for bank and DE items.
- Bidder: Don't open the bid window if you didn't initate the bid.
- Bidder: Buttons are always active now. If you click on them and the click isn't valid, a dialog box is displayed. This is user friendlier. The selected player button is not active when a player isn't selected.
- Bidder: Another attempt at adding support for giving out multiple items of the same type without starting a new bid (i.e 2xConquerer Tokens).
- Bidder: Fixed sorting of the current dkp row.
- Bidder: Adjusted sizing to work with default WoW fonts.
- Bidder: Added option to set default bid amount in the bid window to either the actual bid amount of the selected/winning player OR to the amount of the player below + 1 (or 1 DKP if there are no lower player).
Changes in r196:
- Core: Don't try to capitalize anything but a-z - it breaks utf-8 characters. Ticket #30 fixed.
- Database: Removed prefix in whisper responses. Whisper responses will no longer begin with <D>. Ticket #31.
- Some initial Spanish translations added.
Changes in r194:
- Bidder: Removed some forgotten, and annoying, debug.
Changes in r193:
- Core: Remove incorrect leading space for Hodir death message. This time it should really be correct!
Changes in r192:
- Core: Removed Mimiron death message (not needed) and updated localization.
- Bidder: Show player's current DKP when available (from MagicDKP Database).
- Bidder: Allow anyone to start a bid and not just the loot master/raid leader.
- Core: Possibly fixed issue when handing a previously unseen item.
- Core: Don't try to register loot received if not the loot master.
Changes in r189:
- Core: Really fixed Hodir death message.
- Really fixed toc to 3.1.
Changes in r187:
- Core: Fixed some cases where missing item info would cause an error.
- Core: Fixed Hodir death message (enUS). Still missing a lot of death message translations.
Changes in r184:
- Core: Added chat parsing for Hodir, Freya and Thorim victories. These will now properly create an event.
- Bidder: Fixed status display (show actual number of received bids instead).
- Bidder: Do not auto-close bidding if the number players detected is zero (i.e raid wasn't scanned or player not in a raid).
- Core: Don't error when database is not used.
Changes in r179:
- Core: Added watchers to Freya event.
- Fixed config ui issue.
- Removed potential 'friendly boss' hack since it didn't work. Need to check the chat strings.
Changes in r178:
- Database: Don't remove non-guild members during import, only filter whispers.
- Database: Added a way to manually substitute a name for another during import (typically to handle non-ascii names). See README.txt for details.
Changes in r176:
- Core: Added missing LibBabble-Class embed. This should fix the issue where the Database import fails.
Changes in r175:
- Core: Added mostly, but not entirely, complete data for 3.1 raids.
- Core: Group mobs by event in the Raid Zones display.
- Core: Rebuild player database after expiring players.
- Core: Separate main and alt characters in the player database.
- Core: Fixed library load order to prevent startup errors.
- Core: Added ability to delete individual raid.

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.
