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)

Ah. I had completely missed that Start Event option, thanks. I didn't turn on Events for DKP changes, as I thought that would skew attendance numbers. As far as compressing the intervals, if I have time, I'll take a look and see if I can't send you a patch.
Thanks. In my guild we award 2 DKP as a start bonus and 7 DKP for the run so that is why there are 2 events. You can turn off start event in options if you desire. Are you doing the adjustments as events or DKP changes? Events definitely creates less changes (it is an option use events for DKP changes I think.) That isn't a bad idea compressing the dkp awards to a player into one award before export the only problem is they would have to be the exact same event. I will think about it.
Hey, Morg, great mod. I've got a couple usage questions. What is the use case for having two separate events for each raid, such as "<zone> Start" and "<zone> Run"? Also, we do time based DKP + extra points for boss kills, ironman bonus, etc. However, I find the amount of individual adjustments that get input into eqdkp+ to be rather cumbersome. I've also thought about just condensing them myself on the import page, but that is also rather error prone. Would it be possible to have the option to compress the intervals into one adjustment per raider? If not do you maybe have a suggestion as to how to solve this in another way? I appreciate any insight you can give.
@morgalm - With our DKP people can go negative. We have it setup where they can bid 100% / 50% / 25% for items. If two people are in the same room, then one person can pass and see the updated results. Then tell the second person, hey you need to hit 50% in order to win bro.
In a perfect world I wouldnt have to worry about that, however, it has been asked of me several times if there was a way to stop this. If it isnt too much of a pain, I wouldnt mind the feature. If you maybe just tell me what files you needed to change I can do it myself in each upcomming upgrade we get so as not to bother you with it anymore.
I would also understand that this is "not the norm" so wouldn't expect hands on help all the time.....maybe a question here or there :-)
Honestly though, if your able to make the change why wouldnt you want it in the mod? Perhaps put a button just to the left of the "Give to DE" button and a checkmark in the options near the morgbid updating. Perhaps just change the wording on the one button to Morgbid Results Delayed. The other check box would be Morgbid Results Button. Or something like that.
@GLOMBY - I will think about it.
@azphat - First I find it hard to believe that anyone cares enough about loot to bother cheating (god people suck) Isn't that handled by the fact they are using DKP they can only win so much before they are behind in DKP? Anyway I can make the modifications for you if you would like but I won't be releasing it as part of the mod.
Man idiotic system lol. [email protected]
I would love too, but do not see a messaging feature.
Just send me a PM on this site.
@morgalm - what is a good email address for you. i have a admin setup for our eqdkp+
@morgalm - I have a request. Perhaps something that I could add into my guilds morgdkp2 if it is something that not everyone might want.
Feature
Turn "off" all visibility to the loot updating...
A button be added to morgdkp2 near the disenchant icon to post results.
This way noone could cheat the system by being in another room with someone. The first person hits pass, then watches and lets his roomate know what to bid.
Our guild is made up of several families, friends that live together and this issue has been brought up several times.
I am trying to find a way to turn OFF the results window totally until the master looter hits a button and then it will display to people. This way noone can cheat because the bids are already done at that point...... and it still gives visibility to who won so we can do a "double check" before loot is distributed.
Edit: If there is a way to do this now, omg, I am missing out on how to set it up. Because I have updating turned off, yet "after" someone bids/passes they get updated info.
I will also set you up with a test accout for our eqdkp+ if you would like to see what is going on with any other issues involving the DKP event thing.
Is it possible to activate the offspec Button in BidWar, too?
I'm using BidWar Mode and i have two Buttons. One is called "Member Bid" und the other "Trial Bid". So all Members can Bid with the Member Button and the Trials with the Trial one, but i also need the offspec Button. No one have to Bid when hitting the offspec Button, i just want a visual feedback who wants an item for offspec and then i let those people roll for it.
You have an option with which you can activate the offspec button manually, but this won't work in BidWar Mode, could you implement it?
See above...lol Thanks for the tickets they are all fixed will release tomorrow.
Tickets posted. Now I know to never ever accept full syncs from Azphat again. >:D
Sorry I fail to remember the circumstances of the two errors.
Where was the manual.... :-)
Don't do a manual options sync or a full sync then it transfers ALL options. The options necessary will be transferred with the initial sync when the raid starts automatically. There is no need to do a manual sync ever unless you WANT the other persons options (all of them) or for the item DB. Automatic initial sync at raid starts transfers as I said above member DKP and other necessary options.
Syncing options goes too far, darn it!
I synced up with Azphat who was ML last night. ALL my options got set to his. I want my own font and fontsize and window locations and sizes and everything. Please don't sync up anything other than DKP point options! :)
I also got two LUA errors last night, cut and pasted them, but forgot to post tickets on them. Hopefully I'll remember to do so tonight when I get home.
Well eqdkp+ has a weird thing with pools. If you want them to be assigned correctly you need to make 2 pools on the website. One can be a dummy pool with no use at all. The other one would be the pool you assign all the events you want tracked. Then the adjustments will be pulled properly. Or you could just give me temporary admin access to confirm what I think is going on ...making no changes of course.
Yes for eqdkp+. There are no other pools listed. If I click on events in the admin panel the Online bonus and Ironman bonus are in there. I suppose I could not use morgDKP2 to do the bonus and just use eqdkp+ add adjustment?
I thought I was using the proper event since it was in the pulldown of morgdkp2. Also it is nice because all the raid members are there. The eqdkp+ way I have to move them over to the right pane manually, or copy paste I think. Was just convenient to use the mod...
Unless there is another way
Ok first are you using eqdkp+? If so if you go to admin panel/show multidkp pools is there any pools listed there and if so are the events your talking about below included? Also why don't you do it as an event instead of a DKP change since that looks like what you are basically doing anyway? ie let morgdkp create the event.
We only have the one DKP Pool. Here is what I do normally. Not sure if Tirdal does it different when he is ML the raid.
Open Raid Tracker > Dkp Changes.
Enter amount of bonus
Select Ontime Bonus from the event dropdown.
Select Current Raid from that drop down.
Same thing for Ironman Bonus.
At the parse it shows both bonus's and gets imported with the raid.
