QDKP: WoW Raid Recorder

QDKP is a World of Warcraft add-on for recording drops in raids, and attendance at those drops, in a null-dkp manner. It imports from eqdkp, and exports in xml (included is a limited interface to import back into eqdkp). It's in two parts; the main add-on(QDKP), which stores the information, and the "client"(QDKP_Tooltip), which holds the item values, and silently reports drops to the addon channel.

It's intended to be small and simple; it won't store stuff for long without falling over (you're not going to be able to store the whole month of your guild's raids) - the intention is that you update the eqdkp site nightly, after each raid.

Ideally you want at least one person "recording" the raid, and as many people as you can running the QDKP_Tooltip add-on. The more the better; this ensures that you won't miss loot assigned out of range from your combat log.

Thanks to Nurfed, and their addons that they have released (the tooltip part of the tooltip add-on is completely based on their code).

Also thanks to the original author of "GetDKP", which I started using, altered, and rewrote into this. The executable for grabbing updated dkp values is the original executable from that mod. I need to dig up the source code for it, or find another tool to do it.

Some of the features...

• Autodetection of boss deaths and loot (given correct boss names/events, loot names, and loot values).
• Auto-rollcall on boss death or trash drop.
• Import from eqdkp (script in QDKP zip)
• Export by xml, to limited parser for import into eqdkp.
• Item values shown ingame on the item tooltip, for those running the QDKP_Tooltip add-on
• Deduction of dkp from a raid member for a purchase (however, the rest of the raid does not gain; you don't "gain" until the next update from the site - you spend what you've got when you started the nights raiding).
• 15% dkp standing, and 50% 30 day attendance for compartive dkp listing.

ToDo (i.e., things I should do but will probably take forever to do)

• Add all TBC bosses.
• Create a spreadsheet (and skeleton lua file) of all TBC raid items, without values.
• Use an array in a seperate file to store items that shouldn't be recorded.
• Allow recording of attendance to include those that are in a particular (defined) chat channel.
• Settings interface.
• Allow a single raid to be deleted.
• Record time as well as date (this will be useful for auto detecting kills and later looking back to see time differences in clears).
• Build a better eqdkp import interface to allow editing of exported raids without having to manually alter the xml, and re-import.

Download

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD, PLEASE READ THIS

This is available for download at the moment in an incomplete manner; there's no items or bosses in there, and the code isn't finished, and isn't completely tested.

Basically, you should only download this if you are comfortable with editing stuff, and you realise THAT IF YOU WIPE ALL YOUR ADD-ONS, ADD-ON DATA, EQDKP DKP RECORDS, YOUR WEBSITE, YOUR GUILD, YOUR DOG, YOUR LIFE, OR ANYTHING ELSE, IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT, AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.

Use at your own risk.

You can email me at greg@nzaperture.com, but if it's a question indicating you're out of your depth(i.e., "Where do I put the files?"), I probably won't answer (and you really shouldn't be runnning it).

If you want to make suggestions, great, but keep in mind the intention is to keep it as simple as possible.

If you want to make alterations, please talk to me. At the moment my preference is for it to be branched and renamed, but that depends what direction people want it to go.

• QDKP: 0.203
• QDKP_Tooltop: 0.202
• Example spreadsheet we used to assign/compare AQ40 values (some regex on this will allow you to dump it to the add-on)
