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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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.

A quick fix to get this working:

Edit HeadCountUtil.lua and change the function HeadCount::determineDifficulty() to:

function HeadCount:determineDifficulty()
local difficulty = nil

local inInstance, instanceType = IsInInstance()

if (inInstance) then
difficulty = GetRaidDifficulty()
end

if (difficulty > 2) then
difficulty = difficulty - 2
end

return difficulty
end

I have seen these problems and am working on them now. In order to make sure you dont miss anything, leave the instance after every kill and take a boss snapshot (/hc boss add [bossname]), if it wasn't picked up, and add any loot (/hc loot add [itemlink] [raid#] [playername]). Then re-associate the loot and cost. I run DKP for my guild so I want this fixed ASAP as well.

I was unable to open the gui after our raid started on Tuesday, but last night I was able to open it and see that it did record attendance and loot. I did note that it was unable to identify and label which instance I was in.

Since 3.2, I cannot open the GUI during raids. The loot window is not popping up to enter the DKP cost, although this did happen on some trash mobs. Thanks for all your work, and I hope this can be functional again soon.

Everything works fine till I zone into an instance, then I get an error, and the GUI wont display after this. It seems to still track attendance, but loot isnt being tracked.

Getting errors in 3.2, mostly due to the new way instance difficulty is handled. Love the addon, and use to every raid to export and import data on our guild site. If you need a error report, I run swatter, so just let me know. Thanks.

For some reason, when I updated to 1.59 on my Curse Client, it took out FuBarPlugin-2.0, which resulted in all sorts of errors. Anyway to rid the dependencies in future releases? 2.0 is no longer maintained anyway.

Good thing I got the link from here to re-grab it since it won't show up in searches any more xD

1.59 just restores LDB support - Thanks Meebo for finding this and making it easy for me to restore it :)

I am still working on manual waitlist additions, but it is much more complex than adding a boss, so, it isn't ready for primetime yet.

Let me see if I can finish manually adding someone to the waitlist quickly, and I can then add that section back in. I have no idea how that was clipped since I was working off the original SVN repository. Thanks for finding it!

It would seem that Jerryblade forgot to add back in the LDB support at the end of the Headcount.lua file.
For those that want it back just copy and paste this code into the end of the aforementioned file.

-- LDB support
function HeadCount:SetupBroker()
local DataBroker = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibDataBroker-1.1",true)
if DataBroker then
local launcher = DataBroker:NewDataObject("HeadCount", {
type = "launcher",
OnTooltipShow = function(tooltip)
if not tooltip or not tooltip.AddLine then return end
tooltip:AddLine("|cFF9999FF" .. HeadCount.TITLE)
tooltip:AddLine("")
tooltip:AddLine(L["minimap.frame"], 0.2, 1, 0.2)
tooltip:AddLine(L["minimap.configuration"], 0.2, 1, 0.2)
end,
icon = "Interface\\Icons\\INV_Misc_Bone_HumanSkull_01",
OnClick = function(clickedframe, button)
if button == "LeftButton" then
HeadCount:OnClick()
end
if button == "RightButton" then
HeadCount:OpenMenu(clickedframe)
end
end,
})
end
end

Well it seems curse comments doesn't have any decent form of formatting so just download Headcount v1.57 and copy the code at the end of the Headcount.lua file to the v1.58 versions.

I forgot to add that you also need to add:

self:SetupBroker()

after the line:

self:LogDebug(string.format(L["debug.mod.enable"], HeadCount.TITLE, HeadCount.VERSION))

in the ADDON ENABLED section of your Headcount.lua file

This also seems to be my problem too. I 1st thought it may have been an issue with StatBlockCore but after resetting that it still didn't come back so something must of got changed in 1.58 to make it disappear.
