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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 am going to have to look into this. I am able to replicate it on my end, but I don't know how big a deal or deep this is going to be to fix. Once I am done with the other pressing items, I will look into it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Quite enjoy this addon and it has really made tracking both attendance and progression/loot easier than I can say. REALLY good work. The UI is pretty easy to use and far from the clunky mess of other similar mods.

One feature I wish this mod did have (and I have seen a few others ask for it too) is a way to manually add a player to your waitlist perhaps similar to the way you add a boss or a piece of loot. The reason I ask is that my guild does loot by rank which is determined by attendance and sometimes people who are not actually there (PC issues, vacation, ect.) are credited with an attendance. Obviously they cannot whisper me "wl add." Thus far I have been keeping a paper list of such ocurrances but would be so much easier on me if I could just track it though HC like I do everything else.

I started working on a manual waitlist add function, but it turned into a mess because of the way the raid data structure is stored. It needs to grab a bunch of info (race, level, class, etc...) from the whisperer or the actual raid. So, I couldn't find an easy way add someone with a simple command-line function. Once some of these other things are addressed, I'll try and revisit it, but I ended up just doing the exceptions manually for my guild.

Personally I dont care about lvl, class, race, ect. for a manually added waitlist player--only the name. If I am manually adding them I am sure I know those things already because I wouldn't be tracking attendance for a PUG. But I appreciate the response and look forward to a time when you can solve this issue in the future.

Yeah I don't care about all that stuff either, but many import protocols need it in order to create a character record on the website. With EQDKP Plus, it creates a new char if it has never seen it before. It is on my radar though because I want to be able to add people myself.

I am posting alpha versions that handle the following:

Detect Wintergrasp as a Battleground for the option to track or not track Battlegrounds
Add a WHITELIST to handle Lady Deathwhisper non-worldboss encounters
Add aliases for ship captains to try and track Gunship Battle

Other updates will follow once these are sorted out.

Right-clicking the minimap button should now be fixed.

Was just wondering, I love this addon and I think it works great!! Thanks for all the hard work put in Jerry!!

Lastly, Do you guys have an good suggestions for something that parses this info really well? Right now, I am using LootCouncil.com but it looks ugly and doesn't really have functionality to allow multiple people to analyze the data, so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as a good parsing tool for this addon. Thanks!

Also, I am going to add an option to block WG and BGs in general once these problems are resolved.

Yes for some reason none of the text triggers are being picked up for Lady Deathwhisper and Gunship Battle. Also, the right-click issue is still being resolved (it's a nasty problem that I am still trying to decipher). Sorry for the lack of comments last week, but I was away for the holidays, and the wife enforced a strict no-WoW regimen :)

For some reason it won't let me export any ICC raid to XML format. I can export to other forms but this one which is what I use. Everything but the first boss in ICC is showing up as trash at the moment.

I just downloaded this addon and it looks good.Only thing is that I can't right click to enter options.I noticed posts before mine that people have same problem due to new patch. I need to put people on wait list. Can it be done without "right click"? I /hc everything I could but no progress. Can I enter options via command line and if I can't can I make wait list without entering options normally?

People w you wl add to be put on the wait list. To announce a raid in the guildchat you just click the Raid Announcement button and where you want to announce it.
To see who's on the wait list just click view wait list....

You should try writing the correct thing before you actually ask someone to fix an error that isnt even there.
Try typing /hc export format xml instead to set it xml.
