Not to get into semantics deeply, or net raging over trivialities. The KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method is a capacity of making something simple over complex. It does not dictate a manifest of excludes. Such as "2 separate add-on's rather than 1 base add-on with an independent module that stops working when the base add-on gets rewritten". Doing this is simply a aberration to KISS, based on preference. The end result for KISS. Is, and has always been, simplicity over complexity. Though, eh, what's the point in discussion on the net.

You could do just one that functions better than the 2 combined. And would not clutter or have need for excess. Just a comment after all.

Maybe I just agree with Tekkub when he says :
"Well, every so often I make the mistake of reading someone’s code and get an obsessive compulsive urge to clean up their mess"

Which seems to target more at KISS when mentioning "clean up". As it functionally did, for a time .. until it lost function with all the wow versions.

** feature request:
if the player mouseovers one of the items, in that tooltip the player can see who rolled what (need/greed/dis/pass). added below the stats of the items.
also it would be nice to show a counter on the icons to see how many players pressed that button.
optionally fading out that "x rolled y on z" spam in the chat window.

would be sooooooooooo nice :)
greetings

Thanks for the links. This seems like the top requested feature (Just requested on WoWI in a slightly less pleasant manner, actually), and I plan to do something actually very similar to LootRolls, and I haven't seen it before. Or I was planning on it. Anyway, as I said there, I plan on the feature! And I actually have -started- on re-writing Group, by re-writing the chat parser. Just haven't done anything else.

Hopefully I'll get something done you enjoy sooner than later =)

There was another add-on mod of this same add-on. Where the author recoded some bits of XLoot Group. One in particular was loot rolls. The icons were as they are now for XLoot Group. It would list above the given icon any applicable .. such as number of players greeded, needed, de, passed. Mouse-over of the icons would then list the specific names of the players who had picked that option. Ultimately this is far more handy. Then to have the side add-on for group rolls as you have now. That add-on existed for a fairly long time. I am happy however it is finally being done. Because I believe in KISS. There was no need for 2 add-ons to do what 1 could have done before.

Please just copy TeksLoot's way of doing it. It was nice, it was simple, and it was effective.

The KISS principle would actually dictate 2 separate addons rather than 1 base addon with an interdependant module that stops working when the base addon gets rewritten... like what just happened with XLoot.

Pretty much this.

I'm not sure how it will be done, if and when I do it. It may be different. In the mean time, you're welcome to use TeksLoot (I knew about it, he asked me for permission to use my code) since it seems to fit your needs.

This is saying dependency missing whenever it pops up on my addon panel. I have XLoot 1.0 though, so is there any reason why it's doing that?

Do you have the plugin dummy to satisfy those dependencies?
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/xloot-plugin-dummy.aspx

XLoot 1.0 doesn't provide them, whereas the old XLoot does.

How do I open the options for this? I've got a problem where all the loot rolls are appearing on top of each other, so I cant see what Im rolling for.

/xloot group I think, or right click the anchor.

Anchoring is managed via [point from] to [point to] eg:
[frame 1]
[frame 2]
is bottom (of frame 1) to top (of frame 2)
as
[frame 1][frame 2]
is right (of frame 1) to left (of frame 2)

/xloot group doesn't work, and I closed the anchor once I put it where I wanted it. I've tried re-installing it to reset the options but that doesn't work either. I've used this addon for a long time without any problems, but when I made my worgen, I change my UI, and now its not working properly. I have to roll for one thing then wait for it to fade away before I can roll on the next thing.

Hey thewildcard. That's a big negative. He's working on standalone versions of this, monitor, etc. it's just going to take some time. Link to the last word I heard on it from the author:
