Requirements

AvaLooTracker requires you to have the EPGP_lootmaster installed.

Installation

Install AvaLooTracker as you would any other mod by dowloading the latest release, unzipping it to your Interface/Addons folder and restarting WoW if it was running. Please note that updates may sometimes require a restart of WoW as well.

Usage

AvaLooTracker only tracks loot that you as the master looter distributed using the EPGP_lootmaster. This means that even loot that happened out of range will be recorded but it also means that duplicate entries may occur if the looting process fails for some reason.

AvaLooTracker now can also record loot even if you are not the master looter. This can be enabled through the "track all loot" checkbox in the configuration. If this option is activated, AvaLooTracker will monitor not only loot you distribute but also GP_changend messages from EPGP as well as loot messages send by the master looter using AvaLooTracker.

Tracking begins immediately after you installed the mod and cannot be turned off except by disabling the mod. A configuration GUI is available to set the loot threshold though. If you absolutely don't want to track loot, just set your threshold to legendary for now ;)

The mod now integrates into LibDataBroker addons such as Titan Panel and Fubar (if you have broker2fubar installed.) - if you don't have any such addons it will show a minimap icon instead. Clicking the plugin will show the main GUI of the tracker - a sortable, editable list of all loot tracked so far and a few function buttons. The "Export" button exports the loot data as xml for you to copy onto your website. The "Clear" button clears all stored items from the cache. Use with care ;) The "Guild Roster" button saves your guild roster to your hard drive. Useful for guilds that want to show EPGP standings on the web for example.

AvaLooTracker now also has a function that displays alternative GP prices in item tooltips. Currently it supports setting custom price multipliers for offspec loot and dual-wield 1-hand items. The multipliers can be changed and thhe tooltips switched off in the configuration GUI.

Export

The export string generated by the mod is an XML list of all items recorded as well as who got the loot and how many gp they paid for it. This string is currently only recognized by the avalerion.eu loot tracking system. If you are a website author interested in that system, please contact me. Since the export string is XML it should be easy to write an importer for other systems as well.

Exported data includes:

• item name
• item id
• item type and subtype
• date and time of looting
• name of the looter (or "BANK" or "DISENCHANT")
• GP cost of the item
• name of the boss it was looted from (or "Trash")
• name of the zone the item was looted in

Custom Export

You can now change export settings in the configuration GUI. The standard setting is "Avalerion style" which is the XML output you've seen so far. The bbCode setting exports the loot in condensed form for your forum and the "custom style" option allows you to enter a custom export format.

The custom export string can use the following tags for data input:

• >>name<< - The name of the item
• >>id<< - The itemid
• >>looter<< - The character that looted the item
• >>time<< - The date and time when the item was looted
• >>gp<< - The GP cost paid for the item
• >>rarity<< - The numeric rarity value of the item
• >>type<< - The item's type
• >>subtype<< - The item's subtype
• >>from<< - The boss the item was looted from. Will be "unknown" if looted from a chest
• >>zone<< - The zone the item was looted in

If you have any tags or default exports you'd like to see added, feel free to open a ticket or leave a comment.
