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)

1. The complicated whisper commands.
In most similar addons there have grown a standard. !dkp checks for dkp and !bid lets you bid. Also the fact that you have to include item link with your bid makes it more cumbersome.
I know it's meant to be used with a bidding addon, but many don't like the idea of forcing even more addons down their members throats.
One way of making this, would be to make it optionally a bit more standardized. Running one auction at a time, and let people just whisper !bid <number> if using bidwar, or !need, !greed etc to bid.
2. No way to really test the addon in solo mode.
Many similar mods allow you to run auctions or similar without beeing in an actual raid. I have not yet been able to properly test the addon, cause to do that I need to be in a group, and in an instance killing things.
3. We use a bidwar system (with zero-sum actually, odd I know, but the addon atleast seem to support it :)) - As I said, I have not yet tested the addon properly, so this may not be an issue.
We have minimum costs for all items, but not minimum bids. That means that someone can bid less then the final cost of the item (which is minimum price, or second highest bidder, whichever is higher).
Problem here is that it seems (again, i'm not sure) that you cannot set minimum prices? An option would be to just allow for setting the price manually before it's given away (this may or may not be possible).
Again, great addon, although missing a few key parts that I need, so i'll kepp on looking!
I also understand if you do not want to make the whsper system more easy, as you yourself obviously is happy with using an extra addon for it.
Woot! Yay Val'anyr! It's just too bad that the current way of getting it (I think we've got 25 fragments to go) is much easier than killing Hogger. :( Oh, well....
@Tirdal - already coding that... On a side note only 23 fragments to go! lol
@arkaria - there is no shortcut in that case to send to DEer. Just click the item and use the ML menu.
Must be! Hmmm....
You should add a feature that causes Val'anyr, Hammer of the Ancient Kings, to drop off of Hogger.
I've been running into an issue with assigning items to people for DE. If everyone who is eligible to roll on an item already has the item I can't start "rolling" for the item so can't get access to the "send to DE" action. Can anyone enlighten me on how I can send something to the DEer if I can't "post" an item? Thank you.
Is it time to ask for new features yet?!?!??! lol
Awesome! Now I can rest a bit ...except for that damn morgbid2 result frame problem:( Can't figure that buggar out.
yeppers...back to perfect.
EDIT: 3rd June Ulduar run -> 9 bosses down and all loot recorded perfectly.
DKP is so easy when everything works :)
Thanks Morgalm!
@sorothe - so you mean it worked properly right?
@Morgalm -> v3.95 recorded the loot under the one Ulduar boss we killed last night. I didn't change any of my settings but yes, bosses are recorded like "General Verax (25)"
@All -> Towards the DKP discussion, we award 1 DKP per hour in raid, 1 DKP for being there on time and nothing for boss kills with a +50 DKP cap and a weekely 20% decay. We find this encourages attendance and also spending your DKP instead of hording it. It also doesn't punish you for missing the "Kill 12 bosses in Ulduar" night and then being there for the "Bash your head against Yogg-Saron" wipefest.
Hmm not sure why Malygos wouldn't have worked. Was fine last time I was there. Weird. Glad the rest worked though:)
@morgalm - I used morgdkp2 v3.85 tonight.
Malygos 25man loot showed up in trash
Naxx 25 (spider wing, and last 2) worked fine
OS no drakes worked fine
@arkaria - Our players are motivated because its raid night. We do not recruit people of the attitude to not raid and enjoy it. Regardless of what they are raiding. And we use attendance to week out our raider core. Since we are semi-casual we allow 35% to be acceptable from the raider core. Fall below that and you will get demoted to casual and will not have invite priority on our progression raids IE Ulduar 25m / Malygos 25m / OS 1+ drakes
@azphat12 - It's entirely possible that way we're using the Zero Sum concept is different than most but it's very simple, easy for people to understand and rewards attendance without the need to add bonuses or boss values. Having it all center around the Items does mean that the bank will continue to go farther and farther into the red.
We only use DKP so that someone who does not raid often doesn't get gear over someone who raids more but is unlucky with loot tables. Being that we've been running 10 man since Ulduar came out most people have all the upgrades from the first 10 bosses, so we do have them on farm. If those first 10 encounters become worthless and without reward because no one needs the items then the people who've been geared up and allow for a fast easy clear up to the bosses we're working on would have little to gain from attending.
Unless the system you use allows for some kind of "penalty" for not attending the clearing of the start of an instance then you have no way of motivating people.
If you know of a better and equally simple solution I would be all for it, but at the moment the way we have one single way to earn DKP and reward clearing through farmed bosses fast is the only one I've seen.
@morgalm - Ill hold off on reporting then. I was using the newest version as of the night the issue happened, but we will see with the new one.
I do name my bosses with the <diff> tag. So maybe that is my issue...
@sarothe - by any chance are you naming bosses with the <diff> tag? ie boss name would be "Kologarn (25)" That is the problem I believe I am uploading new version to fix now.
@everyone - Please also don't tell me about problems unless you are using the newest version of the mod. Otherwise I may have fixed it already. I appreciate your reports though:)
@arkaria - I look at DKP as kind of like a contractor. If you go to work, sit there all day. Get calls, talk up a good game, but in the end you do not go do any jobs. Then you do not get paid for any jobs.
Same thing with DKP. Yes you where there, but the item is getting destroyed. So what WAS the point? The point is to get to the next boss. The point is to play the loot lottery and get something that is worthwile. If all of your members are passing on everything then either they are hoarding their DKP, or it is time to lower the DKP costs of items in there. Or take it off of DKP altogether because its on farm status.
Our system utilizes morgdkp2 and allows people to bid 100% / 50% / 25% cost. So not alot of things rot unless it is on mega farm. At which point we bring alts/recruits more often.
Our bank does not BUY everything. We try to keep him as close to ZERO as possible. He earns points, he gives out a bonus. Simple. If you are feeding his 'bank' character all of your DE"d items at a cost...how far negative are you allowing him to go? The points have to go somewhere......is he in the 10k negative margin now? Our system we try to play with a -1000 to +1000 margin. That is where most people linger so far. And the bank is usually in the -300 to +300 mark.
azphat12 if you re-read my posts you'll see that DEed items are still worth something to the raid attendees because that's how DKP is awarded. Not for the boss but the items. So if in say Ulduar10 a boss is downed and no one needs the items, they are DEed. Now if no points are awarded for those DEed items why would anyone want to spend the time downing the first 10 bosses on night one once everyone has the loot they want from them?
Since the previous update (v3.92) all my loot has been ending up in the "Ulduar Run" raid listing. Upon update I delete the entire MorgDKP2 folder and copy in the new one so hopefully I got all the bits.
S.
Yes, he was ML. I sent you my SV file from Friday's Naxx run.
Don't know if I've got that library. Got
...\Addons\MorgDKP2\Libs\LibPeriodicTable-3.1\LibPeriodicTable-3.1.lua ...\Addons\MorgDKP2\Libs\LibPeriodicTable-3.1-InstanceLoot\LibPeriodicTable-3.1-InstanceLoot.lua ...\Addons\MorgDKP2\Libs\LibPeriodicTable-3.1-InstanceLootHeroic\LibPeriodicTable-3.1-InstanceLootHeroic.lua
Assuming it's the last of those files that you're referring to, it's 28k. This is with v3.92. Haven't grabbed 3.94 yet.
hmm not sure if I have the new library. I just installed the morgdkp2 addon.
edit: SV file sent
