Mot sure when but as Kagaro said above look for something in Raid Watch2, also looks like there might be a Curse Raid Tracker soon: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/crt/
NRT may or may not still work in 4.0; it was the most reliable of raid tracking mods like this in 3.x. HeadCount's unreliability in recording made it a no-go here after testing the last few versions.
But if NRT does not still work, sRT looks like a good, actively developed 4.0 replacement. The author took the NRT base and converted it to use Ace3 instead of Ace2, etc.. Uses a LDB display & tooltip instead of FuBar and so on.
Its still missing a number of features of NRT. But the author seems to be actively adding them. In the single raid trial of it here in WoW 3.x, it worked without errors and accurately recorded both the all the loot drops and attendance on all bosses through the first 7 in ICC25.
Gave srt a go tonight, missing stuff I use in Headcount such as editing who got an item, adding items, adding cost and it also seems to make every single boss kill a different raid which isn't the way I add kp to our eqdkp site, tend to do them all at once.
not sure there are any alternatives out there atm ;o
Yah, but most of that (except notes) was not in NRT either; only HeadCount. Made no difference here, but others may miss HeadCount's features.
As to "editing who got an item, adding items, adding cost", you can edit notes with sRT. As to NRT, I did the basic replacement of this with self in the last r141. Afterwards, it does not bug out anymore on load or accessing saved data. As to whether its fully functional in raids, still to be determined (have yet to raid in 4.x...heh).
I got headcount working mostly it errors on battleground stuff. I don't want to maintain it though. But if I could pass it on to someone else to distribute would be fine, just let me know thanks.
All I did was a search/replace on this, getglobal, arg1, 2, etc.

I tried Mizus last night but it didn't recover well when I crashed / reloaded UI - we had a full ICC run and it only recorded Marrowgar.
Any game crash will result in no saved variables, thus no record; disconnecting from server should still save them. You can reload ui after a boss to save the loot data.
Yeah, the main problem was that it wasn't then beginning a new raid and continuing to record future bosses. Not so much that it lost the history, more that it failed to recover and carry on!
To those of you who can write and fix addons i feel this on shouldn't stop here.
If someone does continue it, i would like to see the player list added to the calendar with a click or two. add to calendar button would good for cont. raids.
Again thanks for getting this working. I hope you can do it again for Cata.
-- Determines if the zone is a battleground/arena zone
function HeadCount:isBattlegroundZone(zone)
assert(zone, "Unable to determine if zone is a battleground because the zone is nil.")
Does this make an error if zone is null or does it do it regardless? Either way removed the assert from 2 files and now 0 errors - not yet sure if that broke something though.
Certainly won't complain about a headcount update, but as I simply refuse to use CTRT as it's horrible in so many ways, I looked around a while and found:
Not sure how much you intend to expand headcount, but having the ability to add loot manually would be hihgly appreciated, sometimes people pass thru the doorway after Saurfang or move too far away after bloodqueen/putricide and the loot isn't tracked .. adding via the command line is a little qawkward to explain to new people.
But of course, an ace3 version of what we got now is more than I was hoping for :)

Ya, gave this mod a try, and it worked well in TOC on Thursday. Will be doing ICC clear on Sunday, and we shall see how that goes.
Would love a copy anyway? :)

Just download the attached zip. Unzip it into your headcount folder. It'll overwrite HeadCountFrames.lua and HeadCountFrames.xml
Only error it gives as far as I know is the battleground stuff.
This should hold people over till that other mod catches up to headcount. I won't be making any other changes.
All I did was change the arg#, this, getglobal to work with WoW 4.0
Thank you for fixing it.

The only other error seems to relate to zones.
-- Determines if the zone is a battleground/arena zone
function HeadCount:isBattlegroundZone(zone)

It basically does the same headcount does with a slightly better GUI and it's updated frequently.
I love you
