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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 installed Headcount so that I could easily export raids and then import them to Wowstead. I was able to export Naxx10, Uld10 a ToC10 (normal) just fine, but now we did Onyxia 10 and the export doesn't work. I can also still export the old ones. Judging by the comments I'm not the only one with this problem. Hope it gets resolved soon. Great addon!

After zoning into Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (and possibly AQ20), HeadCount becomes completely unusable. Something in the saved variables gets corrupted, and HC starts throwing all kinds of errors.

To reproduce: With HeadCount enabled and working properly, simply zone into AQ40. From this moment on, HC will exhibit a huge variety of errors, making it unusable. The only known fix is to completely delete the saved variables file and start over.

I would greatly appreciate the author(s) looking into this, as some of us do still run AQ40 regularly for fun and rep. Thanks!

When I export a raid to phpBB the time is off. All times seem to be 6 hours earlier than server time. Is there an option for this I'm overlooking?

After trying other raid trackers and findong how much I ahted them, I did a little digging around on the Wowace forums and found a temporary fix for all who are plagued with the export bug:

Open your exporter.lua file and go to line 168, and remove the following line:

if (difficultyString and HeadCount.INSTANCES[zone].hasMultiDifficulty) then

and put in the following line isntead:

if (difficultyString and HeadCount.INSTANCES[raid:getZone()].hasMultiDifficulty) then

That fixed the issue for me.

that did not work for me. I tried this but still get errors once logging in the game. and not to mention any raid that gets saved in the data or what not is completly un-viewable. as in I click on a raid in the tracker no matter which one, and they all have no data to show. And this is also after i deleted the addon and wtf files and well everything releated to the addon, and then doing a fresh install.

I am looking into the XML export issues now. As I do not use wowstead or have any way to really verify whether it is correct, please be patient.

This is a great addon, but it seems no one is bothiring to update it or take voer the project, and the inability to export some raids in xml makes it useless for me. Can anyone recommend an alternative addon that does the job?

Guys, I read this

"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)."

But i really dont understand how can i do this. In addon setup i can choose format for expot, but how i can start the export process and where i can find folder with exporting files?

well, we all have loved this addon, but got tired of seeing the errors so i've deleted it now...just wishing that the authors would at least have the decency to post that either they quit working with this mod or that they are trying to solve the problems.

If you like what HeadCount does for you... have a loot at www.lootcouncil.com

That website takes the XML data from HeadCount and does all kinds of neat stuff for you.

Apparently, the bug is related with multi-difficulty instances, e.g. Crusader (25/25H). HC works at Ulduar (25 only) & al.
Any patch in view?
