TributeLoot
TributeLoot is a World of Warcraft mod that links raid boss loot, players then whisper the mod if they are interested in winning an item. The mod silently records the information and then prints the results in chat afterwards.
Usage:
/tl
This command prints the current mod version and all possible slash options.
/tl link
/tl l
This command links loot in raid warning, starts the countdown, and prints the results when finished. If items were added using the "addloot" command, then it links those, otherwise it links the current loot window.
/tl addloot
/tl a
This command adds a mob's loot to the item table without linking it in chat. It is useful for encounters that have loot on multiple bosses so it only has to be linked once. (i.e. Illidari Council, Twin Val'kyr). You can also link an item at the end of this command to manually add a specific item (/tl addloot [Eskhandar's Collar]).
/tl results
/tl r
This command prints the loot results again.
If a number is listed (/tl results 1), then it will print out optional comments players whispered about that item (see Example 2 below).
/tl clear
This command clears the previous loot results.
/tl options
/tl o
This command opens the options window. This configures where results are printed, how long people have to decide on items, minimum item quality, etc.
/tl ignore [item]
/tl i [item]
This command adds items to the ignored items list. Ignored items will not be linked as loot.
[item] is expected to be an item link (/tl ignore [Eskhandar's Collar]), if this parameter is omitted then the ignored items menu will open.
/tl unignore [item]
/tl u [item]
This command removes items from the ignored items list. Ignored items will not be linked as loot.
[item] is expected to be an item link (/tl unignore [Eskhandar's Collar]), if this parameter is omitted then the ignored items menu will open.

Items are linked with a number to the left of them. If someone is interested in winning an item, then whisper "in" for Need or "rot" for Greed with the item number.
Players that went in for greed will have their names appear in parenthesis. You can change these keywords in the options.
Example 1:
John whispers "in 1" to go in on [Eskhandar's Collar] for need
Jane whispers "rot 2" to go in on [Judgement Helmet] for greed
John changes his mind and whispers "out 1" to be removed from the [Eskhandar's Collar] list.
Jane changes her mind and whispers "out 2" to be removed from the [Judgement Helmet] list.

Players may optionally specify a comment after the item number.
Giving an item number after /tl results will print the detailed list for a specific item.
Example 2:
John whispers "in 2 [Lawbringer Helm] is a huge upgrade"
Jane whispers "in 2 bidding 300 DKP lol"
Panda whispers "rot 2 is a minor upgrade [Lionheart Helm] so whatever"
The person running the mod types /tl results 2
<TL> Detailed Results for [Judgement Helment].
John [Lawbringer Helm] is a huge upgrade
Jane bidding 300 DKP lol
(Panda) is a minor upgrade [Lionheart Helm] so whatever

Players can only be on one list at a time, so whispering "in" will remove the player from the "greed" list if they exists there and vice versa.
Players can whisper multiple times to update their comment.
Example 3:
John whispers "in 2 first comment"
John whispers "in 2 second comment overwrites the first"
Panda whispers "in 2 might need"
Panda whispers "rot 2 whispering rot automatically removes me from the need list"
The person running the mod types /tl results 2
<TL> Detailed Results for [Judgement Helmet].
John second comment overwrites the first
(Panda) whispering rot automatically removes me from the need list

The whisper keywords, results channel, and countdown seconds can be customized in the options.
Love this addon. It helps with loot in our guild. With the new transmog system everybody is wanting items for transmog. Would you be able to addon an option to bid on something for mog? It could be whisper me "in" "rot" or "mog". Again, appreciate the good work. Keep it up.
Really great addon :) Please tell me how to localize it to German. I have found the lua, but I don't know how to use it...
Is your game client's language set to German? If so, then the mod should automatically display in German.
There are some strings that do not have a translation, if you open the German file (\tribloot\locales\deDE.lua) and look for lines that say "-- Requires localization" you can add a translation for them.
L["Ignored Items"] = "Ignored Items" -- Requires localization
You can update the German text for that phrase by making the change below:
L["Ignored Items"] = "New German Translation"
This addon is great for any raid leader or loot master. It's simple, easy to use and has hugely cut down on loot distribution time for me and my guild.
Hi! Will Tribute Loot be updated to work with mop? Our guild is using it for loot distribution and is very very helpfull.
Thank you for this good work
I will be updating TributeLoot for MoP in a week or two, the video card recently died on my gaming machine so I have been unable to play WoW recently.
TributeLoot v1.4.0 has been released. It fixes the errors that were caused by the MoP API changes. Let me know if you have any issues.
TNX a lot! trying it out tonight
hey forgot to reply... addon is working perfectly. tnx a lot
I added options in v1.5.1 to make it easier to ignore items that shouldn't be linked.
Thanks!
This request has been added in version 1.3.0
(i.e. "The item is rotting with the corpse")
So the keyword "rot" is used to say you only want an item if it is going to rot, which indicates someone wants it for offspec or sidegrade.
Hi, I'm on your vent stealin ur lootz. ;)
3. Thx for that :) hopefully a dkp value can be configured as required?!
4. I have posted several german translations :)
2. The mod hides the whispers as they are received. It prints the results in officer chat by default, but there is an option to change it to print in raid (/tl options)
3. This is added in version 1.1.5
4. Yes, localization support has been added. I just need string translations.
But I have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to change the keywords? F. e. "first" instead of "in" and "sec" instead of "rot"
2. Is it possible to not show the whispers of any bid to the one who collects the bidding? But show the result in /ra or somewhere? Whe use blind bidding.
3. It is possible to whisper "in 2 [Lawbringer Helm]"... but for our DKP-System [Lawbringer Helm] is not relevant, cause we don't use loot council. Whould it be possible to whisper something like that "in 2 300" for second item 300 dkp? And list the dkp values as a result (perhaps sorted :) ). The DKP value must not be validated against a dkp-addon.
