MorgDKP2
MorgDKP2 is a full featured mod that allows the master looter (ML) to control the loot distribution process. Only one member is required to have this mod. MorgDKP2 is also capable of tracking DKP and outputting the DKP string for import into eqDKP using a custom php import script.

Video Tutorial
BlueWarlord has created a video tutorial for setting up and using the MorgDKP2 system to run a raid. Find it here.
BlueWarlord created another video tutorial for setting up and using MorgDKP2 with eqdkp/eqdkp+. Find it here.
Thanks BlueWarlord!
phpRaid Integration
If you use eqdkp+ for setting up raids you can export the raid attendees (choose lua format) and save the file to the MorgDKP2 folder. When you open the invite list (shift-click) the day of a scheduled raid the phpRaid data will pop open in its own frame.
ClassLoot Integration
If you have ClassLoot (r98 or higher) running as well as MorgDKP2 when a new item drops the classes/altclasses allowed to bid for the item will automatically be filled in if the item is in ClassLoot's database. Only if the classes are NOT already set. Thanks Pneumatis for allowing me to hook your DB:)
Importable item database
There is now and item DB included in the ImportItemDB folder of MorgDKP2. It has as many Northrend raid items I have seen so far with classes set. To import it copy the file to the main MorgDKP2 directory and load WoW. Once imported delete the file from the main directory. Note it will not overwrite any items you already have set.
Using MorgDKP2:
Basic use is identical to MorgDKP. Documentation for setting up the web scripts etc still applies. Will post more information when I have time.
Suggested to start:
- Install the webscripts to the plugins folder of your eqdkp install and install it through the admin plugin menu
- Export your DKP from the website save in MorgDKP2 folder (even if your database currently has no members!)
- Enter WoW and make sure there are no errors
- Track your raid etc
- Click export raid(s) and copy the string
- Click Import raids on the admin panel of edkp and paste the string into the window
- Win!
Webscript help
Export standings
Used to export member DKP, events, aliases, and database information (needed for proper import) to the in game mod. Access through the eqdkp admin menu (after installing plugin)
- Select your game timezone (may not match your actual timezone)
- Select if you want to export member ranks
- Ignore ranks - do not export ranks and hence do not use rank sorting for item rolls
- Use all ranks - export all ranks for all members and use rank sorting for item rolls (only way to activate rank sorting)
- Only export [rank] - only export the selected rank from the website. Caution will only export members of that rank so any unranked members or members of different rank will not be in the file.
- Enter the directory and in game name for up to 5 eqdkp installs (ie if your website is http://sodalityoftheconstant.com/aqdkp/listmembers.php? then you would enter aqdkp and whatever name you want it called in game.)
- For eqdkp+ multiple pool install only enter the main directory name the pool names will be your actual pool names
- For installs in base directory (ie http://eqdkptest.sodalityoftheconstant.com) enter - for the directory name
- Click export
- Right click the link and choose save as .. save in WOW/Interface/Addons/MorgDKP2 directory.
- Load into WoW or reloadui if already in game.
Import raids
Used to import raids recorded with the MorgDKP2 in game mod. Click export raids in the LDB tooltip or export raid in the raidtracker for a single raid. Copy the DKP string (Ctrl-C) and paste it into the editbox. When editing names or adding people you do not need to capitalize them.
- Click parse DKP string
- Check the data and make sure the import looks correct:
- If you have any aliases to import they will be shown with ADD beside them. To not import the alias simply erase the editbox.
- If you have any DKP changes they will be listed. As above erase the value or the names to not import. Can add/remove names as well.
- For each event the name, note, value, attendees, and any items will be shown. Edit them if necessary. To not import a whole event (including items) erase it's name. Erase and item or item value to not import the item.
- If you are using zerosum or skall with zerosum check the use zerosum checkbox.
- Click enter final data:)
Note: - Ranks will only be used in sorting if you export all ranks and set the weight of each rank in the in game options (database options) Higher values should be higher ranks. Also rank sorting is ONLY used on the lootframe rolling window. It is not used anywhere else such as the MorgBid2 check or raid invite tab. This means that the MorgBid2 results frame may show a different winner.
Loot window help:
Here is how the loot window is designed to work for those having trouble understanding it. When you loot a corpse if any items are above the loot threshold the mod will:
- Check each item and if any have not had their classes set (who gets to roll for the item) it will automatically open the item edit page to that item. This takes priority over all other possibilites. ie You edit this item and start the roll for it. The mod checks again and there is still another item with its classes unset so it opens the item edit page for that 2nd item NOT the roll window for the auction you started. If you want to see the roll window simply right click on the 1st item again.
- If no items have unset classes the mod next checks if any items are currently in auction. If so it opens: roll summary window if more than 1 item being rolled for or the single item roll window if only 1 item.
- If none of above conditions apply no window automatically opens (ie not roll window or item edit window) and you can right click any item to open edit window (or roll window if auction started) or alt-right click any item to start ALL queries which will cause the roll summary window to open.
Note: - If you want to use MorgDKP2 with fubar you need to have Broker2Fubar installed or it will only show a minimap icon.
Whisper commands: - whispered to someone running morgdkp2.
Waitlist
mbid wait[+/-] [main] => main only necessary if you are whispering from an unknown alt
Bidding
mbid itemid/itemlink [need/take/pass/offspec] [bid] => itemid/link must be included - bid only for BidWar
Dkp queries
dkplist [pool/s] [class/all] [class] ... => pools only if you want to see what pools are available. pool to get the dkp for that pool (leave out for default pool). all for all members in the raid (if person running morgdkp2 is in a raid), guild otherwise. You own class is automatically included so a pally whispering dkplist rogue will get paladin and rogue.
Webscript note: - The MorgDKP2 webscript requires:PHP 5.2.3 or greater and MySQL 5.0.7 or greater. If you are having issues with special characters make sure your MYSQL database is in UTF-8.
Supported DKP modules:
- Fixed DKP
- Zerosum DKP
- Percent DKP
- Relational DKP
- Random
- SKall
- TakeBid
- BidWar
Syncing:
Options
- Broadcast - enable to send sync messages out during a raid to registered listeners. Usually one person will probably broadcast to the backup people in the raid but you can have more than one broadcaster.
- Receive - enable so your mod will act as a listener and receive syncing events from MorgDKP2 installs which are broadcasting.
- Overwrite raid - enable to overwrite the current raid with the new raid info (in the initial sync) if you have already started a raid. Useful when you zone in to the instance late after raid is already in progress to get the raidlog from the whole run. If you haven't started a raid overwrite is done by default.
- Manual Syncs - ie Sync options/members/items/all/initial sync. Click one of these buttons to manually sync to the current raid.
Sync Details
- Syncing will not be enabled until a raid has started and then the mod will check for sync necessity every 60s.
- When the raid starts or someone joins the raid with receive enabled the broadcaster will send out his eqdkp data (boss events/values, aliases, current pool, certain options, current raid data, and current member DKP) Current member DKP will only be updated in the listener client if it has a newer timestamp or if they are members of your current raid. The broadcasters current raid will overwrite the receivers current raid unless Overwrite raid is off.
- When you make changes to important values the mod will schedule a sync and send those changes to the listeners throughout the raid.
What is synced?
- item database changes (value/classes)
- raid tracker changes to items (value/winner/event)
- custom events
- event changes (value/name/note/deletion)
- alias additions
- BOE items (ie hand out through your inventory and manually trade)
- DKP change events
- item costs different from actual DB cost (ie TakeBid or offspec auctions)
- items incorrectly assigned to ML/DE in listener client
- full current raid sync
- initial waitlist and waitlist changes
NOTE: - There is generally no need for the manual syncs unless you specifically want to transfer the complete itemDB or the listener wants ALL of your MorgDKP2 options. The complete member DKP and necessary options are transferred when the initial sync is sent at the start of the raid (if you have Broadcast enabled and there are listeners present in the raid)

I've discovered a problem with the dkp/time und waitlist dkp system. All people on the waitlist will be awarded with dkp when the people in the raid getting there time dkp BUT the waitlist members getting 2 times more dkp.
For example: When the people in raid getting 15dkp every 30 minutes the waitlist members getting 15 dkp, when the people in raid getting there dkp but between theses intervalls the waitlist members getting another 15dkp, so i have to delete theses events manually.
I dont think I have had the windows stay up and bother me. I just pass out all the loot, then leave the boss. The windows leave when I do that usually.
If it does fade out on its own, the timer is *way* too long. If it faded out immediately after the mouse leaves the window (or at most one second), I'd be okay with that, else I'd really like some kind of close button.
Oh you mean another button on green items other than randomn/selfloot to go to DE? Not sure there is room for that lol
@Morgalm - I didnt try it that way. I just looked at the 1st items winners. Clicked on the 1st winner then went to the 2nd item, created another rolling screen and used that new screen to give out the item. I just told people to disregard the new rolling screen because I needed to do it just to get a list of names up to award it.
I will try giving both items out on the 1st items screen if that works.
When you have 2 identical items only 1 will be rolled for. As you say top 2 people win etc. Just click top person to give item then click 2nd to give item again. The window will stay open to let you award the 2nd one. That what you are doing?
So far I have found a way to make things work...except this. Maybe you have some ideas.
If 2 items of the same name drop (mainly tier items) I start the rolling on the first one, then when I go to the second one it doesnt let me do anything.
At this point I tell everyone that the top 2 people will win the items. Winner 1 I give the first item too. Then I click on the second and I have to start another roll. At which point I tell people to disregard that, and I just find the 2nd winner in the list and give it to them.
It is calculating the DKP properly, but is there another way to handle that?
Yeah I could probably add a close entry but it does fade out on its own maybe I just set the time too long. And as you say there is a DE button there.
@Kromdhar
1. there is a disenchant button, just not where you expect it :) Once you start rolling items on the top of the right side frame there is a "Purple shard" icon with each loot item. press this and it gets assigned to the disenchanter. Setting the disenchanter is done in the dropdown menu from the minimap button
2. if i understood it correctly, both Tirdal and Kromdhar are asking for a menu item, in the buttom of the class list, called "close" to make it go away after a misclick. Having to release the boss and then press someone random to make it go away isn't the best option (that or wait the "default" time for it to fade out)
i hope that helps
I understand the second part. No clue about the dispell though.
When you left-click on an item, a menu pops up to let you choose class then person to manually give that item to. I've found no way at all to get that pop-up menu to go away, other than actually giving the item to someone, which frequently is not what I want to do.
Don't think I am understanding what you mean? Dispell green items? Disenchant?
And again don;t understand make ML frame disappear when? Sorry totally lost lol.
ItemlevelDKP is a decent addon to determine DKP costs. What we do is just round everything down to keep it easy. The addon will include a number in your normal looting tooltip.....say that number is 162.81. We round that down to 160. If it is 87.51 we round that to 80.
Here is a link

Is there any specific way to distribute DKP or does it do it automatically. Like Attendance & Boss kill ?! Also is there a Default Item Value for the Items or thats basically up to me ?!
Edit: I just did what you said and make a raid and put the threshold on Poor and work with it like that .. I noticed FixDKP + Bidwars is a good way to go for loot.
I will look indept to more of the other looting options, im still basically trying to understand how to Award people the DKP properly. Also I have a question.
At first I thought that if the person didnt have enough DKP that they wouldnt be able to bid or anything for an item .. Is that basically based on me knowing how much DKP people have and who gets it ?
Only way to learn is like anything else in life experiment. Start a raid with a buddy and change loot threshold to poor and kill a mob and try doing a roll for the item etc.
I can see the Tool tip and such its just me trying to understand how to set it up properly so i can grab my guild go into a raid .. points get rewarded properly and having the Item Values set so people can use thier DKP to get thier item.
The MorgDKP Documentation helps me out just a bit but after that I am just not following. Im really new to all this so im just taking it in as much as I can.
Are you using a broker addon so you can see the tooltip and icon? Right click icon for options and you can hover over the tooltip and change settings.
Its just me trying to properly set things up and knowing how it functions .. I looked at the documentation and then look at MorgDKP2 in game and I cant see the comparison and a way to set it up.
Maybe its just me personally not understanding.
