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.
MorgDKP Features:
- Allows ML to query raid for interest in loot.
- Tracks DKP including raid attendees, start bonus, and all drops.

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.
yeh but assosiate it with what? i been trying diffrent files in the bin dir.. without succes... well would be easy to use the program you have but it realy just wont install on Windows vista. it complains about some string.. assosiated with a gif file in the end
Well I tried it myself downloaded activeperl from this site: http://www.activestate.com/store/productdetail.aspx?prdGuid=81fbce82-6bd5-49bc-a915-08d58c2648ca
Installed and it automatically did the associations and I clicked the file and it ran perfectly.
If you have to do it yourself right click the file and choose open with: "perl command line interpreter"
Not sure what's messing you guys up lol
Hmmm strange. I use that version of pearl with Vista and have no problems at all. Maybe because I have UAC turned off?
Your other idea sounds great but the odds of it happening are very low as I know almost nothing about php. If you do maybe we can work together.
And thank you again:)
I allso cant install it when i use vista. Any other alternatives to download the database?
Yes there are other versions of Perl just do google search and try one of them. Also you can right click the exe file and say run as administrator and see if it installs properly then. Stupid useless UAC lol. ActivePerl is the other biggie try it.
Morgalm,
Thanks again for the continuous work put into this addon, it is greatly appreciated. The only problem I ever had with setting it up was with Numen Inest Perl as Vista doesn't like it (evidently it tries to install a .bat file that Vista says is a no no). Either way once our new website goes live we plan on pairing this nicely with our updated DKP section (php BB 3.0 and eqDKP). I would like to request a feature and see what you think about the possibility of doing something like this is. Basically there was a DKP mod I ran quite awhile ago that allowed you to copy one of your php files from your eqDKP site into your WoW folder. It then allowed players the ability to send certain commands to whomever had this mod. These commands would basically allow them to see anything that could be found on your eqDKP site. Pretty much the same data that is saved in an export file.
It would be something like:
/tell Machia morgdkp itemsearch Edgewalker Longboots
It would then send a tell back to that person with a listing of everyone who had received that item and the raid they got it on and the DKP they spent. Maybe it could even come up in a popup box (if someone has Morgbid). This may be entirely out of the scope of what you want to do, but I thought it was really a neat in game system that was well received by our raiders. I got the addon quite awhile ago and I haven't been able to find it since so maybe it's no longer in production.
Either way thanks again for your work and if a paypal link does happen to go up ever, you'll have at least 1 donater =)

I'm recieving an odd error with the mod. I don't know if its conflicting mods or what but i would like to test this mod out and I'm unable to ATM.. Don't know if recent patch messed with scripts or what but error I have and would like to use/reccomend use of the mod but i can't seem to use it in the beggenning :). I can link error if you would like but rather not clutter this space for the adoring fans :)
Please clutter away as I can't help without seeing the error:) Also more description. You mean it won't run at all (ie no fubar tablet/menu or ALT-SHIFT-click inventory item doesn't bring up menu) or it gives you an error when you try to do something?
Love this addons functionallity. I figured out the part where I should download the guilds dkpinfo from our website, but how do I upload it ?
See my reply to you on Wowinterface:)
All I can say is WOW.. this mod really delivers. I haven't even installed this yet but I'm already impressed with your site and the detail in which you go over everything. I have searched far and wide for a complete solution that handles the drudgery that is DKP updating. After a few days I stumbled upon your mod and I can honestly say, just from looking at your features, that this really is the best thing out there. I can't wait to give it a test run tonight.
One question I have is if you have any intention of making this an ACE compatible mod? With the WoWAceUpdater and having multiple authors working on keeping the project up to date would ensure that minor issues are taken care of and might help take a bit of the load off of you.
Lastly, do you have a paypal donation link? This is definately worth donating for.
-Machia GM of Catalyst http://www.guildcatalyst.net
Thanks for your kind words Skrumpy:) I hope it delivers as well after you install it LOL. No I do not have a donation link thanks. I do it for personal enjoyment. It is already up on Wowace to get the latest updates etc. And I am still currently raiding all the time so I update it as best I can. We are just currently working on starting SSC/Eye so if you run into any troubles in there (ie bosskills don't register) please let me know.
And by the way nice website:)
Update with Fubar goodness:) Most commonly used commands can be accessed through the fubar tooltip now. Enjoy:)
Fix for Bidwar mode so queries would be resent if there was a bidding tie.
Small fix for handling boss detection in Karazhan for 2 special cases. Chess event and Romulo and Julianne.
Oops small bug. Loot frame wasn't showing the "All" selection for classes...fixed now.
Basically just learned lua by trial and error and by example. Surf the wowace website and you will find all sorts of useful info. The forums are very active with feedback from many excellent authors. Also wowiki of course for command format etc. And lua.org has the language basics. Take a look at the mods on wowace though - plenty of examples to learn from. May even be one there that does what you want already:)
Oh and thx for the good ideas and feedback gandy:) I never use auction mode so didn't really know just how clunky it was lol. If you are a C++ user and java you will have no problem at all - except for confusing syntax differences lol.
Cool thanks for the excellent replies and help with your program. I think that will probably be it for a while unless my guild starts crying about something. I had one last question for you. I was wondering where you learned lua. I'm pretty fluent in Java and I know a decent amount of C++, so learning a new language probably isn't too hard; I just need a place to start.
There ya go new version has "All" switch for class selection. Acts as a toggle hit it again to clear all.
Nope he doesn't. Only people in the current raid get points alloted.
Yah thanks for the answers on question 2 and 3. Ok here's what I mean for question 1. Let's say you have Player A. Player A is there for the first loot of an object and gets his share points because an item dropped and someone else bid and won the item. Ok now let's say player A leaves after the first boss. On the second boss, another item drops and someone wins it. My question is does player A receive points for that second boss loot even though he wasn't there for the drop?
