MorgDKP
MorgDKP is no longer supported!
Please see MorgDKP2 http://www.wowace.com/projects/morg-dkp2/
Description:
MorgDKP 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, that being the master looter. MorgDKP is also capable of tracking DKP and outputting the DKP string for import into eqDKP using a custom php import script.
Special Note:
Special thanks go out to FryGuy for his mods FryBid and FryListDKP. They were the starting point for my mods and I thank him for allowing me to use and post his code.

Installation:
- Install MorgDKP/MorgBid. Unzip into WoW addons directory or run .exe.
- Copy the plugins folder from the MorgDKP directory to your eqDKP folder on your website using an ftp program. Note: admin access to the website will be required.
(ie. http://sodalityoftheconstant.com/aqdkp/)
- Enter the admin menu of your eqDKP website and click manage plugins. Install the MorgDKP plugin. Refresh the admin menu and you will see MorgDKP Export and MorgDKP Import options are now present.
- Click MorgDKP Export. Follow the instructions to enter the website name of the pool and the name you wish it to be called in WoW. Cookies will remember these setting for your next visit. Right click the link to save it to your MorgDKP folder.
- If you wish to import my item database (based on Kalibans class loot) of SSC/TK/Kara/ZA then copy the ItemData.lua file from the ImportItemData folder of MorgDKP to the main folder.
- Enter WoW and confirm that MorgDKP is loaded in the addons menu.
- Either use the fubar tablet or right click menu and choose Main DKP Pool to set the default pool. DKP is automatically loaded at start if updated file is present.
- Delete the ItemData.lua file from MorgDKP directory.
QUICKSTART
- Update DKP before loading WOW using web based php script. Alternately ALT-TAB out of WOW to update and then reloadui.
- Enable MOD and Enable ML/DE mode
- Set Main DKP pool for desired raid.
- MorgBid Base check. LEFT - CLICK to whisper non-users. Repeat as necessary until everyone has MorgBid or it is pull time.
- Add Twink if any members are on alts. Can be done through right click menu or Raid Tracking tablet. Good idea to remind them to whisper you to check DKP when on an alt.
- Make sure you are the Master Looter and set the Disenchanter if not already set.
- Start Raid manually OR enter instance.
- Enjoy wiping out those mobs and distributing loot with MorgDKP.
- End Raid when the raid is over.
- Export Raid if desired and use MorgDKP Export in admin menu to update DKP. This step doesn't have to be done for every raid anymore. You can run any number of raids and import them all at once.
Whisper system:
System to allow users WITHOUT MorgBid to bid for items (BidWar mode) or vote NEED/TAKE/PASS. Not really recommended by me but was a requested feature. To use the system it must first be turned on under DKPOptions menu of MorgDKP. Once it is turned on eligible players will get a whisper telling them the ITEM up for bidding, the item ID, and the reply format. Note: even players WITH MorgBid will get this whisper if the system is turned on.
The format for placing a bid is as follows:
mbid ID [need/take/pass/bid value]
Examples:
/w Morgalm mbid 22829 need
/w Morgalm mbid 22829 50
Note: If in BidWar mode there is no need to say NEED/TAKE. The reply will either be PASS or the actual bid.
Waitlist
List of people currently waiting to get in to the raid or staying available in case needed. They can be added through the ListDKP tablet by ALT-Clicking on the members name or by the member whispering the leader with this format:
/w Morgalm mdkp wait[+/-]
This will add or remove them from the waitlist. The "+" is not necessary.
DKP awarding: DKP will be awarded to the waitlist if Award DKP is checked. The amount is determined by adjusting the sliders for start/run and DKP/time. If the amount matches the corresponding event ie SSC Start = 2 DKP and waitlist start = 2 DKP then they will be added to the start event. Otherwise DKP change events will be made for them.
Sync Database
To begin sync hit the Sync Item DB button or choose from the DKP functions menu. This will bring up a tablet showing a summary of all the members you can sync with in the current channel. If you are raided only members of your raid will be checked otherwise it uses the guild channel. If it shows ?Bad PW!? beside the member then either their PW or your PW is wrong and you will not be able to sync. Click or SHIFT-Click to request that members or all listed members database. The database will be transmitted which may take a few seconds or minutes depending how large. Once complete you will get a popup asking if you wish to accept the transfer and a summary if you accept. What is currently transferred:
1) Any item not in your current database. If the same item is present it will NOT be overwritten.
2) Any member who has been updated with: a) DKP change b) Pool change c) Alias added d) Class updated
Note: if you get an AceComm error then you will need to add an item to your database and have the other person try the sync again. Known bug with AceComm
Import Item Database
You can now import my database of items for SSC/TK/ZA/Kara mostly complete based on Kaliban's class loot. Just copy the ItemData.lua file from the ImportItemData folder of MorgDKP to the main folder and enter the game it will ask if you want to import the data (Will NOT override any old data you have - ie adds not replaces) Delete the file afterwards.
ow, a little thing that's been bugging me... I updated the addon via wowaceupdater, and everytime morgdkp is updated if overwrites the morgdkp.pl so everytime I have to edit the file again... But since the new morgdkp won't be using perl i guess this will be solved in the next major release?
anyway, keep up the good work!
Hmmm not sure about eqDKP plus. I am just about finished with some major changes to the mod including downloading DKP directly off the website via a php script. ie perl is no longer used at all. If the eqdkp plus still uses 2 different databases for each dkp pool (which I assume it must) then the new mod will work I think. Won't know for sure until I release it and you try it though. If you want to test it (beta quality) send me a PM.
Hi Morgalm. I've enjoyed using your addon for some time, but after a recent upgrade from eqdkp to eqdkp plus (using the multidkp pools) the perl script stopped working (incl. the alternates)
http://www.firebreed.dk/dkp/
Do you have any plans for supporting eqdkp plus sites ?
or updating the method of retrival (if this is an option) ?
Any help would be highly appreciated. :)
I am currently finishing up some pretty major changes to the mod so I will look at adding this when they are finished:)
We have 2 different websites found at these url's

Thanks :-)
Thanks:) First can you give me an idea of how you organize the dkp on your website? Even a link to your website would be great. I need to know how eqdkp handles 2 different pools of dkp or do you just have 2 totally different websites, one for class items and one for the rest? It would take some significant changes in the mod but I have been considering it. That info would help.
I haven't found a better way of whispering to bid on items. This is mainly because you can run more than 1 auction at a time. So how would the mod know what item you wanted to bid on. If I locked it down to only 1 auction at a time then I could remove the itemid from the whisper but I don't want to do that.. Honestly its alot easier to just download morgbid:)
As for dkplist it could be done but again I need to know how the tiered DKP is organized on the website. Thanks.
I really like the addon, but I have two feature requests.
1) My guild uses, like many others, two DKP Tables. One for Hybrid DKP, and one for Class DKP. Would it be possible to add a feature where all DKP tables get stated when people whisper "dkplist", so that they know all their DKP instead of only the current table that's loaded
2) instead of whispering itemid's and stuff... It should be possible to make this a lot easier... When you link the item in raidchat, people should be able to say something like "!bid" and then the addon can show a windows with the people who said !bid ordered by their DKP...
That would make it really awesome...
Still, nice addon, amazes me what people can make these days...
Actually, correction... I was *IN* an instance, and *STILL* got told I needed to be in an instance to start a raid. Pretty useless at this point, if I can't even start a raid anywhere.
No that is HOB DKP. Numbers arent really accurate I use it more to see suggested classes.
One screenshot shows an item's DKP value. Is this part of your mod or another addon?
The mod isn't really set up that way but if they are in the raid group the points will be awarded to them. But there is no "bank" character in the mod currently.
hi again. just a question about using this addon in combination with Zero-Sum. we use a modified zero-sum where we have a DKPBank which enables us award to reward members on a waitlist or a bonus when we down a boss for the first time. Is there a way to add extra ppl to the list of attendees while in a raid? So that the zero sum calculation will be accurate.
here's a brief explanation of our system described by 1 of my officers:
The DKP Bank Rather than simply pricing all items at a number easily divisible by 25 (i.e., 1 pt per person in the raid), we will be using slightly higher numbers. For non-tier pieces, 30 points per item, and for tier pieces, 35 points per item. Each person in the raid is still only receiving one point, so where are those extra 5 and 10 points going? Well, you remember the title of this section, right? The DKP Bank takes those extra points for two purposes:
a) the bank compensates standbys for all tier pieces that drop (so in a typical High King fight, where two tier pieces and one non-tier item drops, those in the raid will each get 3 points, and standbys will get 2 points each); and b) the bank doles out compensatory points (at the Raid Leaders' discretion) for those nights when we simply bang our heads against the wall for 3 hours almost downing something, but never quite getting there, and bonus points to all raid members when we finally down a boss we've been struggling with.
Your DKP site must be set up slightly differently. Look at the file DKPInfo.lua in the morgdkp directory. It should have a list of the members and their dkp values. If you need to see what it looks like check the file that came with the mod. Try clicking on the other DKP files and see if they work ie MorgDKPALTERNATE.pl, and the others in the folder. If none of them looks right post the dkp link for me you are trying to download and I will fix it.
Yes it does. You can make it any name you want in game:)
for this line in the pl file: { title => "DKP1", url => 'http://sodalityoftheconstant.com/mcdkp/listmembers.php?show=all' },
does it have to be labeled as "DKP1" for this script to function properly?
Can this be a used as a solely ingame dkp mod, meaning can it save dkp as player notes/officer notes instead of relying on eqdkp on a site?
Nope sorry.
Uac has nothing to do with it. mine is not on and its still aborting after trying to deal with some gif file.. And you cant even run as administrator when its off so that proves that i dont have it on and that thats not the problem. ActivePerl installs perfecly. but cant run your *.pl file. it does not set it as exacuting file..
Yes I know active perl doesn't thats why I don't like it. You simply have to setup the file association yourself in the file explorer:) Then it should work.
