I am trying to use the system, a couple questions I didn't see answered on the website:
How do I add new "pools", we don't use seperate pools so I would just like to rename it from Ony/MC BWL etc.
Also, when I try to do an export, it says I have no logs. I start a log, do some loot / dkp awarding and then stop the log, it still does not appear in the export options, this is kind of a make or break for us.
This is zero sum fixed cost dkp with export to a eqdkp database.

Tiny limitation of the way that I coded up the export modules. Just do a "/console reloadui" and the log will appear for exporting.
Ok, I ran our first raid tonight with DKPmon, and things went fairly well. Clients were getting Lua errors, but it didn't seem to cause any problems that I'm aware of. I'm waiting for a screenshot to be sent to me, then I'll tell you the actual error. :)
The only problem I had from an admin perspective, is the eqdkp export. When I pasted the string into the ctrt xml import plugin for eqdkp, it accepts the xml string, shows the date/time of the event and lists the attendees, but no loot is processed.
Here is the export string I'm given from DKPmon... I'm not sure where the problem lies... I tried to compare it to an actual CT Raid Tracker string, and couldn't get it to work.

Looking forward to seeing those screenshots. ;)
This might sound odd, but are you positive that that xml string was from DKPmon_eqDKP? The reason that I ask is that your <Loot> items all seem to have a <Costs> tag in them -- DKPmon_eqDKP doesn't output a <Costs> tag at all (at least not the version that I wrote and have in the svn). Try removing the "<Costs>17.52</Costs>" from that string and import it again; it should work without that tag.

You know what? I think I pasted the string that I had been manipulating in an attempt to get it to work. My fault, here is the string direct from the mod in-game. (Please note, the lei of the lifegiver was just a demonstration for the guildies... it didn't really drop in karazhan. lol)

I'll hound people for those screenshots when I get back from the dentist.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix this problem; I've never actually used eqDKP, and only know the xml from reverse engineering. All of the tests that I did in the past (on a borrowed eqDKP setup, almost 2 months ago) worked, but clearly that's no longer the case. Does anyone know if they changed the xml?
Alternatively, is there a debug mode for the eqDKP php scripts? Maybe with some error messages, we could figure out what's going on...
I decided to give DKPMon a try since been testing a few these days. However I don't get one thing. As we use the Zero-Sum Fixed system, both me and the bidder got it installed. I got DKPMon and DKPMon_FZSC and the bidder had Bidder + Bidder_FZSC installed. I award him 5 points for testing, looted an item and sold it to him. However it doesn't seem to give me and the bidder our DKP. I stay at 0 while he gets his 5 DKP removed and gains nothing. Did I miss an option or something?

Points aren't awarded as soon as you deduct points for an item. You need to go to the points awarding interface, select the players who are to receive points, click on the "Set points to award" button, and select the name of the boss that dropped the items. Then, click "Award Points" and you're done.
I'm having the exact same problem as Daelic. I made a sample raid, sold some loot, awarded points, yet when I import to eqdkp it captures time of the raid and attendees but none of the loot.

Another question since you are so kind to answer us, thanks many for that.
Do you know of any other costing systems/mods out there for the cost? When we originally sent forth on this venture we were going to use NDKP for the website and the in game mods, but we have been unimpressed with the updates, but also adding new items and such manually, which we would have to do is a headache. With your system and our idea to go forward with zero sum, we are just looking for a costing type system or mod that uses a formula of some sort to establish costs for items based on stats, etc so we can identify to members the cost. The upside to costing based on formula is that better loot automatically costs more, and removes the need to decay old items or whatever when you get better loot.
I figured since you are more involved deeply with this stuff you might have a recommendation or idea. Or heck, anyone reading this is welcome to suggestions.
Currently I have a modified NDKP mod that generates a cost, but I am weary of the reliability/stableness of that in the future.

You could use HoB_DKP... if you go back in the post, you'll see us going back and forth to make dkpmon get the values directly from hob. My final post on the subject is the final function change needed to make it all work. http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=4046.msg80356#msg80356
I'm not getting any errors at all, and I have other strings (from the ctrt mod, for example) that work as expected, so I have to believe that the plugin on the eqdkp side is correct. (I followed the link you posted when i first configured eqdkp a few months ago)
I think the real fix isn't to try and get dkpmon to integrate with the ctrt tools, but to finish getting its own plugin for eqdkp up and working. If I knew anything about XML and writing plugins for eqdkp, I'd be helping dahn out. :(

Believe me, if I knew anything about php programming I'd be right in there too. :-)
I just checked in a couple of changes to DKPmon & DKPmon_eqDKP to also log & output the <ItemID> tag for the CTRT-xml. I was poking around on the eqdkp web site, and noticed that a lot of example CTRT-xml strings had that tag -- even though my previous tests showed that it wasn't needed. My theory is that something changed in the plugin that now requires that tag.
So, I manually added ItemID tags to your example CTRT-xml string, and pasted it below. Let me know if that changes anything?

How do I add new "pools", we don't use seperate pools so I would just like to rename it from Ony/MC BWL etc.
Also, when I try to do an export, it says I have no logs. I start a log, do some loot / dkp awarding and then stop the log, it still does not appear in the export options, this is kind of a make or break for us.
This is zero sum fixed cost dkp with export to a eqdkp database.
Thanks in advance!
See the "Customizing" section on the web page for DKPmon (http://dkpmon.googlepages.com/usingdkpmon) -- i.e. just edit DKPmon_FCZS\custom.lua
Tiny limitation of the way that I coded up the export modules. Just do a "/console reloadui" and the log will appear for exporting.
Thanks!
The only problem I had from an admin perspective, is the eqdkp export. When I pasted the string into the ctrt xml import plugin for eqdkp, it accepts the xml string, shows the date/time of the event and lists the attendees, but no loot is processed.
Here is the export string I'm given from DKPmon... I'm not sure where the problem lies... I tried to compare it to an actual CT Raid Tracker string, and couldn't get it to work.
Looking forward to seeing those screenshots. ;)
This might sound odd, but are you positive that that xml string was from DKPmon_eqDKP? The reason that I ask is that your <Loot> items all seem to have a <Costs> tag in them -- DKPmon_eqDKP doesn't output a <Costs> tag at all (at least not the version that I wrote and have in the svn). Try removing the "<Costs>17.52</Costs>" from that string and import it again; it should work without that tag.
You know what? I think I pasted the string that I had been manipulating in an attempt to get it to work. My fault, here is the string direct from the mod in-game. (Please note, the lei of the lifegiver was just a demonstration for the guildies... it didn't really drop in karazhan. lol)
I'll hound people for those screenshots when I get back from the dentist.
DKP string below:
DKPmon doesn't actually do any rounding. ;)
If you want to have it round to 2 decimal places, you need to edit the fczs.lua file in the DKPmon_FCZS addon.
Line 546 looks like this:
DKPmon.Awarding:AppendPointAward({pool = tonumber(pool), amount = amt/numselected, source = s})Change it to (note this is untested, but should work):
DKPmon.Awarding:AppendPointAward({pool = tonumber(pool), amount = math.floor(100 * amt/numselected + 0.5)/100, source = s})Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix this problem; I've never actually used eqDKP, and only know the xml from reverse engineering. All of the tests that I did in the past (on a borrowed eqDKP setup, almost 2 months ago) worked, but clearly that's no longer the case. Does anyone know if they changed the xml?
Alternatively, is there a debug mode for the eqDKP php scripts? Maybe with some error messages, we could figure out what's going on...
Points aren't awarded as soon as you deduct points for an item. You need to go to the points awarding interface, select the players who are to receive points, click on the "Set points to award" button, and select the name of the boss that dropped the items. Then, click "Award Points" and you're done.
How do I set more than one DKP pool within eqDKP ?
I might have found a solution. Try the fix outlined here: http://forums.eqdkp.com/index.php?showtopic=8695
Another question since you are so kind to answer us, thanks many for that.
Do you know of any other costing systems/mods out there for the cost? When we originally sent forth on this venture we were going to use NDKP for the website and the in game mods, but we have been unimpressed with the updates, but also adding new items and such manually, which we would have to do is a headache. With your system and our idea to go forward with zero sum, we are just looking for a costing type system or mod that uses a formula of some sort to establish costs for items based on stats, etc so we can identify to members the cost. The upside to costing based on formula is that better loot automatically costs more, and removes the need to decay old items or whatever when you get better loot.
I figured since you are more involved deeply with this stuff you might have a recommendation or idea. Or heck, anyone reading this is welcome to suggestions.
Currently I have a modified NDKP mod that generates a cost, but I am weary of the reliability/stableness of that in the future.
Thanks.
You could use HoB_DKP... if you go back in the post, you'll see us going back and forth to make dkpmon get the values directly from hob. My final post on the subject is the final function change needed to make it all work. http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=4046.msg80356#msg80356
Nope. :(
Drat. Do you have any php error messages in your server logs from when you try to import the string?
edit: Does this http://forums.eqdkp.com/index.php?showtopic=8557 help?
I'm not getting any errors at all, and I have other strings (from the ctrt mod, for example) that work as expected, so I have to believe that the plugin on the eqdkp side is correct. (I followed the link you posted when i first configured eqdkp a few months ago)
I think the real fix isn't to try and get dkpmon to integrate with the ctrt tools, but to finish getting its own plugin for eqdkp up and working. If I knew anything about XML and writing plugins for eqdkp, I'd be helping dahn out. :(
Believe me, if I knew anything about php programming I'd be right in there too. :-)
I just checked in a couple of changes to DKPmon & DKPmon_eqDKP to also log & output the <ItemID> tag for the CTRT-xml. I was poking around on the eqdkp web site, and noticed that a lot of example CTRT-xml strings had that tag -- even though my previous tests showed that it wasn't needed. My theory is that something changed in the plugin that now requires that tag.
So, I manually added ItemID tags to your example CTRT-xml string, and pasted it below. Let me know if that changes anything?
