yeah I have, I dont understand how people get points to start with. With EminentDKP there was a bounty and the Admin give out a chunk of points to get started. With your addon I cant find any bounty, and the only way to award points, as far as I can see, is on boss kills
Eminents main idea was the bounty and never being more than the total bounty in circulation.
I think u got used a little bit too much to term bounty :). You can give players dkp points, as u want. For instance I give dkp for players that are on time, sometimes after good boss kill as a progression bonus, sometimes for iron man when we played long.
To give points, u open roster and select players u want to award with dkp points, right click and award :P. To not have too big inflation in points u can decay players dkp [in options] like I do every week. I belive u can do the same in eminent.
This addon is not eminent and you shouldnt treat it like that, cuz u might get lost becouse of the naming used in eminent and mine :P. As I told u, the thing I used in my addon, that eminent has aswell, is zero sum system with second highest. But points managment is done by right clicking on players in the roster attached to this addon.
Just wondering if you are going to be updating the auto boss rewards for mists.
erm sure, forgot about that :D
Just need to find the boss list somewhere..... :P
when i adjust a player DKP, and logout.. and log in .. the DKP reset.. why is that?
When i log in again, i have to adjust player dkp again and again, some seems to be reset and just random picking player and reset it.. not working as intended.
hmm the only reason i see for this is the fact u may not be able to change players officer notes. Can u confirm u can do that manually?
адон хорош но возникла неожиданная проблема=((( куда то пропал с миникарты значок
type /dkpb icon
btw. help me localize! :D http://www.wowace.com/addons/dkp-bidder/localization/ after i localize bidder i will localize manager aswell.
I like the sound of this mod, the last dkps mod we used within our guild was EminentDkp a while back.( you must hate reading that name, thats all that seems to be in these comments!)
All i really need to know is how this mod handles inflation? (besides the hard cap of points a player can earn)
Keep up the good work!
I dont mind reading about eminentdkp cuz I know that its a really good addon, however I did not find it easy to start with, but its the place from where I got the bidding system, and thats why its in DKP-Manager and Bidder[zero sum, dkp transfer and second highest], and becouse of the info about it on their website I use that system in my guild :). But not the addon, cuz I find mine easier to handle and manage :P. Mine addon is more like Quick dkp with many systems, including the one from eminent.
But to answear your question - u can use decay by perc. Thats what I do in my guild - every week I decay 5% of everybody dkp. We have no problem with inflation with that. It depends on ur calculations, incomes etc. etc. We caluculated points given in one week so that normal player would be capped at about 2,5k dkp if he wouldnt get dkp from other sources than on time and iron man[points we give at beginig and the end of the raid].
I dont use the hard cap decay, it was implemented by appleslice, and he asked me if I can add this functionlity to the addon, so he wouldnt have to copy paste the function every time I release an upgrade. As I think some more ppl may use it, its there among with the % decay.
So much writing, I hope I made myself clear :D
Cheers! :)
another question, how does the log work for seeing who took what, and when? i.e. can anyone see the log for anyone else or can only the admin see it?
The way EminentDKP handled this was excellent, its a shame their addon isnt updated anymore but is it possible to reuse some of their code to display logs in the same way?
I dont I can reuse their code as my log is completly[at least I belive so] diffrently written. I am considering for a longer time to change the log so it wouldnt look as it looks atm, maybe even they way Eminent was showing it[i think they use some kind of library cuz the way its shown is exactly the same as in Skada].
Logs are allowed for everyone who has the dkp-manager. However they do not synchronize. It means u have to be in game[u dont need to be in that group] when X item is given in order to have it in ur log[as for now ofc].
DKP-Manager allows users to see logs, even when they are not able to manage dkp.
ok thanks. Not having a full log for all users is a little bit of a problem as it makes tracking hard. Would need some kind of Sync or export option to allow importing into a database, so we can get a complete history. Is there any chance of that if the ingame log cant be extended? Sync option is much preferred though, like between officers to update then send to users for personal viewing.
I have been looking at the code for eminentdkp and they do use a library, they modified some Skada code for their "damage metre" style display. Theres a few comments in the folder called SpecializedLibBars-1.1, which is a modified LibBars
It depends what data should be tracked. If only items - its not a problem. However if you would want to tracke all dkp changes, then the amount of data rotating between users is smth I would rather like to avoid. But yes, I am thinking about it, the ways to implement this functionality. And, if ur a coder, there is already a function to export log data implemented.
well I would prefer everything but if its just items, that would be fine with me. Currently we do dkp via our website, Im trying to move it more ingame but keep as much of the tracking/function as we get from our website as possible. Not having a log people can use is very limiting in terms of tracking history and seeing who might bid against you for an item in future.
Any chance of using public notes for holding the DKP values instead of office notes? in our guild the officer notes are used for recording player join dates. Using public notes also lets users see values.
I am not sure if that would be easy, in my guild we store dkp in officer notes and times of join in normal notes. All notes are public. I can try to change this, before the release of MoP, but as long as it's really important for you. Otherwise its just not worth it.
I understand, we keep peoples Mains names in the public note so people know who they are talking to in chat. will see if we could move the join/leave data over to that as well as the mains name info.
I cant really test the addon until this is done though so might take a while if thats a route we decide to go down. I was hoping it would the change would simply be down to changing a function to print to Public note instead of officer note
Seem to be having an issue seeing public bids when not using SIlent Bids. Is this intended. WOrked great about a month ago , since bids will not show up. Tried unistalling and installing with no success. Thanks very helpful addon , adapts well.
Hey,
I am really sorry for that, some gnome got into my code and doubled "not" command. Now everything should be ok, I will release a new version shortly with fix. [2083]
