YssBossLoot is a fairly simple loot addon. It is fully integrated into your world map and does a couple things.

• It enables you to browse all instance maps that are in the game (simply select Dungeons/Raids/Battlegrounds) from the Continent dropdown and then select the Instance from the Zone dropdown.
• It adds click able boss location icons to the instance maps.
• There are various skull textures to chose from in the options
• If you have the [Ghostly Skull] pet you can also use it as a skull (fully animated)
• The name of the Boss floats above the skull
• When you click on a boss location its loot will popup out of the skull.
• You can filter the loot by type/subtype and equip locations.
• You can define how you want your loot filtered in the options then it will default to those filters ever time the boss loot window is shown
• It creates a LibDataBroker plugin from which you can select an instance map without first having to open the world map
• Loot data and drop rates are provided by wowhead.com (i will update the loot database about once a week. If something is way off please create a ticket and i will fix it asap)

if you find anything broken/confusing/illogical/missing create a ticket here please

you can find the latest versions here

YssInstanceMaps has been renamed to YssBossLoot is now in beta so any feedback bugreports are greatly appreciated hoping to be out of beta by NewYears

This is pretty much what i expect from a simple boss loot addon, fully integrated into the UI and light on resources.

Is it possible to have a option or even a button while browsing a boss loot within the instance we are running, and make it show only the loot from the category we are doing? (heroic, non heroic, 10 or 25 man and so on)

good idea let me see what i can come up with

Edit: Try out the latest beta (you can tell it to open to the current difficulty loot in the options)

Works lovely here, been testing this week both in toc 10/25 and icc 10/25 and correctly picks the loot tables.

Maybe we could insert a shortcut when displaying the (filtered) loot tables to the main loot table where it displays all the modes for that boss?

Edit: Also, a possible addition for the skull options, maybe a option to disable the "portal" thing behind each skull?

Umm not quite sure what you are trying to say could you rephrase that :confused:

as for removing the background that is done check the latest beta

FYI if anyone wants more/different skull options just let me know (and provide the texture you want to see if possible (just make sure its not under copyright and tell me where you got it from so i can make sure its legal to use)

It's possible to add a wishlist for each raid ?
Great work for this very lightweight loot browser addon

at this time this is beyond what YssBossLoot is trying to do. something like this belongs in its own addon in my opinion but i'll think about it when i get some time

Thanks for the very fast response :)

nice addon ! I will use it over atlas.

suggestion: better way to link item in chat, right now to link something we need to use the new button to resize the map then re-click the boss and then choose the item from a list that we can't read (too small character size)

another quick suggestion will be to remove the % drop chance on emblem (in heroic) or just put it to 100% and remove the %drop chance on stone keeper's shard

for the chat linking there is not much i can do except to recommend Mapster to you which is what i personally use.
as for the text size i have noticed this myself it gets a bit small at the smaller sizes am thinking about adding some sort of scale that you can pick from (one for the new small map and another for the big map)

I am currently waiting to see how wowhead will handle emblems since they are now no longer "Loot" but get distributed upon bosskill automatically

Edit: Scaling was easier to implement than i thought it would be check out 0.4.1b it has same sane defaults for loot scale and you can adjust the scale individually for small, large and large with POIs map views.

What i ment was, lets assume i'm in ICC10 with my guild and i'm browsing the loot tables of a certain boss (with the option turned on to show only the loot from ICC10). At a certain point, somehow i wanted to have a very quick look at the ICC25 loot of that boss for a quick link or comparison. It's currently not possible unless i turn off some settings and it would be nice to have a button that displays the normal view for that boss. (If you now click on refresh a few times, it does the same thing, but it just "zoom's in to the specific loot of that instance)

you can simply click on the loot header to zoom into out of the loot no need to change any settings

I never realized that shortcut existed, great way to do it. I do think perhaps it could be more obvious?

hmm i will have to think about this
current thought is to either add a mouseover tooltip for the header or change the mousepointer to something on mouseover

hi
love this addon, just wanted to know if this addon is still being supported and if it's going to be be updated with the loot from the new boss from VoA and come patch 3.3.5 with ruby sanctum.

Ditto!!
Onyxia loot would also be a bonus.

working on getting loot for every instance (even those without ingame maps) into yssbossloot and thus am rewriting a bit of YBL's code

YBL is back up and running woot check out 0.6.0b
