Raid Roll is an addon that can be used to perform a raid roll. A raid roll lists all players with an ID beside their name. Then it performs a roll and announces who the winner is (based on the ID). You can also track rolls made by players on any loot that drops. This function supports the EPGP system of distributing loot. The addon also contains a loot tracker which can be used to announce or monitor loot that has dropped.
1. Raid Rolling
Description
A raid roll is a roll for a piece of loot that anyone in the raid can use. This may be a mount or a bag of gems. Normally this is very confusing for people and the leader may be accused of "ninjaing" the loot. Using this addon you can perform a raid roll by listing each player with a number beside their name and then rolling and announcing the winner.
Commands
- /rr - Raid Rolls
- /rr [Itemlink] - Raid Rolls (includes the itemlink when announcing winner)
- /rr re - Rerolls
- /rr re [Itemlink] - Rerolls (includes the itemlink when announcing winner)
2. Roll Tracking
Standard Rolls
By default the roll tracker will appear whenever someone says an itemlink in raid warning or when someone says the word "roll" with an itemlink in the same sentence. It will then track any 1-100 rolls made within 60 seconds of the announcement. By default it hides all other types of rolls and duplicate rolls but these can be shown by enabling the option in the options menu (see 4. Options Menu) or in the mini options menu (click the v on the roll tracker).
Finishing Rolls
When you are ready to award the loot you can click the button "10 sec + Announce Winner". This will announce that there is 10 seconds left to roll, then 5 seconds left to roll, then announce the winner. You can skip this countdown by pressing the "Finish Early" button. If you want to skip the countdown altogether then this can be enabled in the options (see 4. Options Menu).
EPGP Support
This addon also supports the EPGP loot distribution system. When this option is enabled (either in the options menu or with the command "/rr epgp") then it will show the PR value (their priority) rather than their roll. It will show people with less than the minimum EP in red and those who are above the minimum EP in green. Players below the min EP will also have less priority on loot and will always lose to a player above the min EP value. This can be disabled in the options menu (see 4. Options Menu).
- You can mark a player by left clicking on their name. These marks do not affect the outcome of the rolls but may be used by the master looter to see who has received loot already
- You can ignore a person in the current roll window by right clicking on their name. This can be useful if people change their mind about wanting a specific piece of loot.
- You can announce the winner again after the rolling has finished by pressing the "A" button
- You can do a 1-100 roll by clicking the "R" button
- You can award the loot to a person by clicking the "Award Loot" button. You will get a pop-up to confirm your choice.
Commands
- /rr show - Shows the roll tracking window
- /rr disable - Disables tracking
- /rr enable - Enables tracking
- /rr mark [Name or RollerID*] - Marks the roller with an !
- /rr unmark [Name or RollerID*] - Removes the ! from the roller
- /rr mark !reset - Resets all ! on rollers
- /rr all - Toggles tracking of all types of rolls (e.g. 1-50, 50-100)
- /rr unan (/rr unannounced) - Toggles tracking all rolls or just announced rolls (An announced roll is when someone says "[Itemlink] Roll"), creates a new ID after 60 seconds
3. Loot Tracker
Loot Window
While using this addon you will send information regarding any epic loot to the raid and guild in the hidden addon channel. Anyone else using the addon will pick up these messages in raid (you can also pick up messages in guild by enabling the option in the options menu (see 4. Options Menu) ) and display the loots in the loot tracker window. You can link all the items that dropped from the current boss by clicking "Link Loot". "Request Item Data" will ask the person looting to resend the item data to you. "Clear Data" will clear all data.

3.7.3 Dridzt Version
General Cleanup (no functionality changes)
CODEBASE: version 3.7.3
CHANGES:
- reformat / properly indent RaidRoll.xml
because: "it hurts our eyes!"
- use 'self', '...' and the locally passed arguments making it wow 2.x+ compliant in place of the deprecated 'this', arg# globals.
- remove the redundant extra frame creation in RaidRoll_OnLoad(). We already have a reference to the addon frame (see above).
- fix the event handler accordingly RaidRoll_Event(). We already have a reference to the addon and the arguments.
because: it's cleaner (doesn't create an unneeded extra frame), doesn't pollute the global namespace, current implementation will break eventually when the deprecated wow 1.x globals are removed.
- make the RR_Test() function actually do something and use it for debug output instead of ChatFrame1:AddMessage and DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage
because: consistency, actually checks that DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME exists before outputting, won't bug out on passing 'nil' or non-string arguments.
- globally replace getglobal() with _G[]
because: it's wasteful and adds performance overhead to call a global function to do a table lookup a gazillion times, instead of doing the table lookup directly.

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.
