HeadCount

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Overview

HeadCount is a configurable World of Warcraft add-on that automatically tracks raid attendance, loot, and boss kills.

HeadCount answers the following questions:

How long is a player active in a raid?
How long is a player on standby for a raid?
How long is a player offline during a given raid?
What loot dropped during a raid and who received it?
What boss kills occurred during a given raid and who was there for the kill?

Features

Raids

Raid creation: Automatically creates a new raid as you join or start a raid.
Raid finalization: Automatically ends an existing raid as you leave a raid.
Raid management: The user can end raids, remove raids, or remove all raids on demand.
Raid zone tracking: Zone name are automatically added to raids as you zone into a raid instance for the first time.

Player attendance

Player tracking: Players are tracked based on their timed participation in the raid. Players can be tracked based on configurable raid groups for raid list activity (active raiding players) and wait list players (queue/standby players).
Player removal: The user can remove tracked information for specific players on demand.
Player history: View specific player history for a raid to see how and when a player moved from activity to standby to offline and back during a raid.
No list tracking: Players can be tracked as non-raid list and non-standby players as needed. Players that go offline are automatically taken out of the raid and wait list groups for tracking purposes.
Integrated wait list: Receive whispers from members outside of the raid group in order to track them.

Boss kills

Boss kill tracking: Tracks the world bosses killed during the course of a raid and the raid list members present for the kill.
Boss kill removal: The user can remove tracked boss kills on demand.
Manual boss kill: The user can add a boss kill to the current raid at the current time with the current roster via /hc boss add [bossname]

Loot

Loot tracking: Tracks loot received during a raid based on configurable item level quality (default: Epic item level or higher)
Loot removal: The user can remove specific pieces of loot on demand.
Loot exclusion: The user can manage loot exclusion which will prevent certain pieces of loot from being tracked during a raid. (e.g. - Emblem of Valor)

Export

Export: Users can export current raid attendance and received loot information to one of a number of formats (CSV, XML, Text, EQdkp XML string, phpBB forum post, phpBB with ItemStats forum post).

Reporting

Boss kill broadcast: The user can optionally broadcast when the raid kills a boss to a configurable chat channel.
Loot broadcast: The user can optionally broadcast when a player receives a valid piece of loot to a configurable chat channel.

Performance

Fault tolerance: If the mod owner quits WoW, restarts WoW, or reloads their UI during a raid and returns to the game, HeadCount will attempt to gracefully recover from the outage to continue tracking the active raid.
Attendance delay: Configure how often HeadCount should manage attendance updates to increase or decrease performance and/or accuracy.

I may be missing some feature but is there anyway to sort or search through specific raid results? For example, if I want to find what loot a particular person got instead of having to scroll through the entire thing can I sort by that player or search for them? This would be helpful if it's not already in there.

Does this addon have synchronization between users via a hidden channel?

Gaeline: If you are not in range, then it doesn't show up in your log so there is no way to detect it. The manual loot option works well in these cases.

Tebasile: Interesting you should bring that up... Manually adding someone to the waitlist is what I am working on now :)

You might look at http://code.google.com/p/epgp/issues/detail?id=427 which is a solution used by EPGP for the same issue of attempting to ML to a person who is out of range.

Is there anything that can be done about loot not being recorded due to it not appearing in chat because they are out of range to trigger the message?

You can add the item manually using slash commands, it isn't elegant, but it does work.

I guess you cant put tags in here :)

The syntax will be as follows: /hc boss add [boss_name]

Let me test this a bit, and I will upload it ASAP.

Ok... I am in the process of testing this, but I have added the following command-line option to Headcount: /hc boss add <boss_name>

It allows you to add a boss kill of <boss_name> to the current raid with the current roster at the current time. This should mitigate the current issues with the Ulduar Keepers and proof it against future "breaks". Once the boss kill is in, you can assign loot to it as any other boss kill.

Anyone know if I can add my own Loot Distribution type settings? Right now there is Offspec and Disenchant, and I would like to add a couple more of my own.

Well I would love to see it updated since, as far as I can tell, this addon is "directly broken". Despite messing with the detection script on several boss kills in Ulduar, it fails to pick them up which makes it a real PITA to track DKP for those kills. Any suggestions? I am all ears.

You might want to check http://forums.wowace.com/showpost.php?p=276326&postcount=401.

He clearly states that HeadCount 2 will be in the works soon but that he is slammed at work. Patience is a virtue and since the addon isn't directly broken updates aren't required. If you want to have an impact on how the new HeadCount 2 will be I suggest you follow the thread on wowace.com and give suggestions.

I hate to say it, but I think development on the AddOn is dead. Nothing has been done with it that I can find for almost 2 months. Bummer.

Feature request:

Can you add "loot count" column on the raid member view?
I know I can see the loot for each member when I click on the name, but it would be nice to see overview.

I love this addon in principal. However, it has some critical flaws imo.

1) You cannot add Bosskill or "snapshot" manually
2) You cannot add an item manually
3) It fails to pick up several boss kills on Ulduar

Basically, as an Ulduar raiding guild, we cannot use this mod despite the fact that I love how it works and how it integrates with EQDKP Plus. Any suggestions?

I'm really liking this add on, but the problem I'm having is that it's dropping some of the recorded loot from previous raids we've done. The items are coming up "item unavailable". I want to go back and record these loots on our guild site, but I can't.
Another useful feature would be to have items able to be manually imputted for whatever reason.
We were in Ulduar and forgot to put it on master loot for the first boss. When we took the teleport, the person that won one of the items had to go back to loot it, and it didn't record.

How does somebody join the waitlist without being in group 6-8, can't find an answer for it. :( Like, there should be a whisper command for it according to the text in the waitlist management thing, but can't find the exact command for it. Thanks!
