Mathos's DKP addon?

by **Filsorrow** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 2:52 am

Is there any details on Mathos's DKP addon he is making. I would like to see what it will do and perhaps know when it will be released...thanks.

There is!

I have finished the parsing part and the main display.

Display of our own guild is here:
http://fantasyworld.nl/RosterDev/roster ... roster_dkp

Now, all the config screens and stuff aint done, so I really can not release it yet, but I reccon that after the weekend, it will be ready for a beta release.

I will make a new section in the addons for it very soon!

GO MATHOS

I know this will integrate with the WoWRoster, obviously... will it track drops, item values, who bought what, etc etc etc... and how do you manage DKP? Is there going to be a seperate menu for that, or will there be an in-game addon which records people in a raid, and lets you give them DKP points and crap?

Details please

I'm super curious!

It is based on Freddy's modded version of CT_RaidTracker.
That produces a DKP string (XML) and that will have to be parsed into the admin part of RosterDKP.
Indeed it will track everything (that is configured) and stores the relevant info into the database.

Most of the handling is automated, even charging and earning DKP. And naturally much more views will be created to display the information that is inside the DB. At this moment I only had time to do the basic parsing and the standings display.

More after the weekend!

I was thinking about this...and many peoples DKP rules are different. As in how they allocate DKP points. WIll it keep this in mind or will it have one setting for how many DKP points you get for what?

Please tell...

Im also Super Curious!

It will be mainly time and attendence DKP.

There is a config option for:
DKP for attendance (Based on percentage or just 100%) so if Percentage is disabled, they get for instance 2.0 for attending. if however a player only attended for 90% of the total raid, they get 1.80 if Percentage is enabled.

Second bit is Hours. Full hours can or not be configured to give DKP.

Third option is Bosskills. There is a default value for bosskills, and there is the individual special boss configuration. Each boos could have it's own DKP value if you want (based on names of bosses)

Then the last two bonusses which can be configured are On-Time and Stayed-Till-End bonus.

Personally I can not think of any other DKP bonus, but feel free to make suggestions.

I have not done any penalties (yet maybe) for people that are inactive for a long period since in my position, I do not really care for that. If you guys think it should be in, I can make it happen though. Every earning or spend or adjustment is an event, whether it is under a raid or not. Adjustments will be made manually available, but I can easily build in a penalty system that does stuff based on in-activity or not.

The nicest bit on this, once it will be finished, is the integrated raid-bank system. It will contain the items just as in the Cat-GBank addon, but it will drag DKP values from the item-cache. The DKP value will be shown inside the tooltip, and I am considering an addon which will show this info inside the game as well. (Though I am not that good with WoW addons, YET

)

I really hope to be able to show you more, and I will make some screenshots soonish of the parsing mechanism.

Kind regards, Mathos.

WOW, I have waited for a something like this. Frankly I'm not a fan of EQDKP and would rather use your system with wow roster since everythign will be displayed on one page. Is there a time as to when this is expected to be done?

by **Mathos** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 5:24 pm

I reccon that the Beta can be released on Monday.

I will hope to anyway!

It will be posted here: http://wowroster.net/Forums/viewforum/f=75.html

Is there a way to give special DKP for raiding? Our guild will start giving 1DKP per Level from 50-60 (10DKP Total) so people start with 10 DKP, 2DKP per Boss when dungeon is not on Farm Status. 1DKP per Boss when on Farm Status. First time the guild completes a dungeon, all members in that Raid get an additional 5DKP on the Final Boss, which would normally have a 2DKP value. Since our guild is rather large, we might be running a voluntary raid schedule. If you can make it - great. If not, then oh well. As an incentive to actively raid, we're giving 1DKP to each person every 10 raids.

So, is there a way to adjust DKP values on a person-by-person basis?

If you can change DKP on a person-by-person basis, are these changes tracked? We might have 4-5 different raid leaders, and we want to track who is changing DKP.

There is no automated way of doing that.
You can give additional bonusses or penalties via the Adjustment Table.

There is only one admin panel, as I am not designing any authentication system at this time.

Authentication will be build-in in R2 and I would hate to do double work.

This project started as a direct need for our own guild, and tbh....I have added many features for the community which I will never ever use within my own set.

I think the requirements are clearly:
* Automate as much as possible
* Make it flexible
* Make it simple

This has been accounted for. Be carefull in who you grant access to your DKP system is my advise, and make regular backups of the Roster DB
