I'm looking for a replacement to a very old addon called DKPtable, which was on its last legs for quite some time and now gives the 'white chat pane' problem.
What I want to be able to do is view ingame how much DKP raid members have and preferably print a list of those in /ra . I also need to be able to adjust their DKP when they loot items.
I'm using EQDKP as the web side and Headcount for loot tracking, but I need to be able to view DKP in game.
No, no idea, but also on the lookout, used to use dkp_matrix for ingame viewing of dkp, and letting raid members whisper "rp" or any other configured toggle to recieve a note on how much dkp they have.
so i'm looking for something simular..
also interested in any dkp mod for bidding,
pref by msg, taking the bids via msg in a xxx format and displaying them, highest to lowest.
the addon i liked before for this was dkp_system, wich awas replaced with dkp_matrix by the author - the bidding part wich he left out..
I would prefer a solution where not all guild members needs and addon to do the biddings, but just whisper the amount and thats that.
DKPmon last updated 05/19/2008
MorgDKP seemsnot to have been updated for 3.0.2 either.
MorgDKP2 seems to have been updated.
morg looks promesing, but the whisperbidding with itemid and such feels a bit complex
and cant see if it supports whispering for dkp value, but will test it ingame and see what it does..
Hm I'll give them a look over. But really all I want is a table of points that I can print to /ra and adjust ingame for spends. It doesn't have to be all that complicated :)
Actually morg does have dkplist by whisper and if the whisper bidding seems complicated give me some ideas:P Whisper dkplist to the person with morgdkp2 and a tablet pops up with DKP.
I've looked at both mods and neither seems quite suitable. Both do far more than I need and both seem to want to handle bidding to adjust ingame DKP values, which I don't need at all.
DKPmon looks like a totally ingame system - I just want to display the values in-game, not store everything permanently in a database. It also seems to require some kind of bidding addon.
Morg again seems far too complex for my needs. I don't want a second system to store raid loot information - I already have one I'm happy with.
All I want is a table of values which I can adjust as we go through the raid for points spent and then output subsets of to the raid channel on demand. All these 'complete' systems seem to overcomplicate things.
Perhaps I can hack the old addon. I just have to um... learn lua.
We use DKPMon with our raid for exactly the same purpose:
Raid leader has DKPMon and manages DKP. Raid members have Bidder to check their DKP status...we don't use automatic bidding at all...worked liked a charm so far
We used DKPmon for TBC for loot distribution along with CTRT for tracking/export to our web site.
With WotLK, DKPmon hadn't been updated and so we tried a lot of different mods. MorgDKP2/MorgBid2 came closest to being a solution but the whisper bidding was complicated for new guests to get right, items awarded didn't seem to update the database in real time and the export format did not work with our web system (bbDKP).
We ended up updating DKPmon/Bidder to work with WotLK. We've also gotten the export functions working for our web site but are still using HeadCount as a back up logging function.
DKPmon has worked well for us for two years so we're happy to have it working again in WotLK.
For export to eqDKP there are a lot of tracking addons but the one that seemed strongest for us was Headcount. We found a new issue that none seem to address and that is handling out of range loot awards with master looting turned on. They all seem to miss the loot event if the recipient is out of range. We're using multiple raid leaders with Headcount to grab data.

Any suggestions?

and the bidding by msg is overcomplicated as i wrote earlier.
so no, it does not suit the needs earlier stated.

Most everything you're going to find is a full package, not just a viewer.

for MorgDKP i'd need some example files to make it work. feel free to make a request on www.bbdkp.com.
