MagicDKP [Deprecated for MOP]
Addon Support Statement
Hello everyone. I'm no longer actively playing World of Warcraft (and haven't for many months). I'm looking for someone to take over maintenance of my addons. If you're interested, and have at least one released addon, send me a message at [email protected]
Addon Description
Smart raid loot and DKP tracker with automated standby tracking (using the MagicDKP_Client). New raid bosses will be learned automatically when encountered although on occasion special manual configuration needs to be done. Works for all Burning Crusade 25-man raids and all current WotLK raids.
The addon also supports automatic handling of alts (either manually configured or by scanning guild notes), replacing any alt names with mains before doing the CTRT export.
CTRT Import Issue:
If you get a message "Invalid DKP String", read this page
Changes in 1.0.230
- Fixed invalid GUID issue. Unfortunately data recorded since 4.0 is invalid. Any GUID above 65k will be removed but invalid ones might remain.
- Added Cataclysm raids to the default data.
AddOn developnent updates:

Posted Apr 6, 2009I really really love it, but the main reason i need it is for the bidding portion, we do our bidding in raid chat, whenever i !bid 4 or whatever my bid may be, it doesnt register my bid. It will only register it in a whisper to myself or say chat, and when i do win the bid it wont let award myself the loot from the bidding screen.
and again, sorry if this is a dumb question.

Posted Apr 6, 2009we typically use 50 seconds for bidding, maybe a 20 second/10 second/5 second warnings.
EX: 10 seconds left to bid on [item!]

Posted Apr 3, 20091) Open eqdkproot/plugins/ctrt/index.php
2) Locate the line "Basic xml validation"
3) Comment out the following line (or remove it):
message_die($user->lang['ctrt_step2_invalidstring_msg'], $user->lang['ctrt_step1_invalidstring_title']);
I don't know why it breaks when there's an accented character but it does. I just tried with two exports, one with and one without, and the one without worked.

Posted Mar 26, 2009Each new feature you add is something that I never thought of, but ends of being very useful. I do have a request regarding the bid portion of the addon.
Would it be possible to offer multiple items up for bid at once. Possibly creating tabs on top of the bidding tracker for each item. Currently, my guild sends each drop to a different person to speed up loot, but if this could handle multiple items at once, it would speed things up greatly.
I don't want to bog you down with requests, but would it be possible to have the bidder only send mail quality armor bids to mail/plate wearers. Maybe some other filtering based on spell power / attack power and physical / caster classes.
Again, thanks for all the time you've put into this.

Posted Mar 26, 2009I do want to streamline bidding though - one idea is to automatically do the bidding when the master loot window is open (when opening, auto-send a bid and when the item is looted, move on to the next item). I also want to give the client, if you use it, to have an option to auto-pass on all items from one loot mob.
So yeah I'm looking at ways to make it even faster - it's somewhat ironic that it feels really slow to take 1.5-2 minutes to finish looting of a boss with 4 items but it does.
As for the usability feature, I already plan to filter out items you (user) can't even equip. This means a shaman would never see plate armor. Same goes for tier tokens - if you can't use it, you auto-pass without a dialog. I will likely mark them as something other than pass as well (can't use or something). Likewise I plan to add the option to restrict items also based on caster/melee only items and classes. So yes, it's all on the TODO once I got the basic functionality working (which I seem pretty close to right now).

Posted Mar 27, 2009I'm doing stuff for a fairly casual guild. So it is pretty common for people to call for holds on bids because they're not always sure how large an upgrade it is. This can cause each item to take 1-2min to hand out. That's why we currently send bids to 4 different people.
If 4 bids were to go out at once, the person taking those bids could take a quick look at DKP if a person won 2 items. I think this would only come into play on end-boss (Like KT or Maly) fights where very wanted items drop.
All this said, these are just ideas. I'm not a coder, and I have no idea how much time each addition takes. I appreciate all the time you've put into this and I hope my ideas aren't too distracting.

Posted Mar 24, 2009I should add that I do have plans to write more docs for my addons in the near future. Many of them are complex enough that documentation is, if not vital, very useful.
One comment from quickly reading it - MagicDKP has automatic wipe handling using the "/md wipe" command. It might not work for you but it will log a wipe for the last boss you fought, incrementing the wipe number.

Posted Mar 24, 2009Feel free to use any of the text/images in your documentation. Setting eqDKP was such a pain that I just wanted to help anyone going that route - and your addon is so much easier to get working than the alternatives.
I did notice the "/md wipe" feature. It's cool that it can be automated like that, but I like the custom event wipe1-wipe10 method myself, so I only need that many event triggers in eqDKP. To each his own.

Posted Mar 24, 2009I'll document how best to do this stuff (best = least setup in this case) though.
