EPGPLootmaster

EPGP Lootmaster

EPGP Lootmaster provides a nice GUI for distributing loot and GP to the raid.

It sends a popup and a message to all raid members with the question wether they want the loot or not and sends this response to the master looter. The ML gets a nice list of every raider's choices sorted by EP/GP (more info on EPGP here).

Whisper system

This mod nolonger requires everyone in your raid to install it! Raid members can now just whisper the master looter with a simple message:

/w masterlooter !epgp need/greed/pass [itemlink]

This, however, will not send the current equipment to the master looter ui. It's still strongly suggested that everyone installs the mod, but it's nolonger mandatory. The master looter, of course, still needs to install it ;)

Installation

Just copy the epgp_lootmaster and epgp_lootmaster_ml directories from the zipfile to your addons directory or use the Curse Installer. When you configure your addons in wow you'll get two entries:

EPGP LootMaster - Core: Everyone in raid needs to enable this.
EPGP LootMaster - ML: Only Master Looter needs to enable this, most raiders will probably get dependency missing because EPGP isn't installed. This is no problem, just leave it disabled. The Master Looter however does need to install EPGP.

Config

/lm options for some basic options.

Auto announce threshold: sets what kind of item raid members automatically get to see.
Auto looter: sets a raid members that will automatically receive BoE and BoU items below the threshold (for disenchantment or bank).
Listen for incoming monitor updates: Enabling this will make your client listen from updates from the master looter. It will show you the exact same interface as the master looter. This way you could help deciding who gets the loot.

Use

Just install this mod on every raid member. Set someone up a master looter. As soon as the ML tries to loot something, epgp_lootmaster will detect it and will try to handle the distribution for you. epgp_lootmaster will also handle the GP distribution for you and should automatically disable the EPGP GP input popup. You can also manually disable this popup from the EPGP options panel.

/lm version or /lm versioncheck

This will show you an interface where you can see wether the members of your guild or raid have installed lootmaster and what version.

Yes, tell the raiders to WAIT until loot is given out before portalling. It happens on all the last 'wing' bosses in Naxxramas, to do with range and its Blizzard side I think.

Hey Katjira, yes im very aware of the first issue. Only way to prevent this is to tell everyone that needed or greeded not to use the portal yet untill loot has been handed out. This is something blizzard should fix because the loot master doesn't receive a 'Player receives [loot].' message when the player is too far away. So keep those players in range! :P
Second thing is already implemented. The more recent versions of EPGPLootmaster allow you to keep the monitor windows open while the loot selection popup appears. Look for the Auto Hiding section in the EPGPLM options (/lm options)
Good luck!

Hi! Loving your mod - it seems to work great for us. I did have one problem last night. A person used the portal to leave from Maexxna before loot was distributed. He got the item but the addon did not recognize that he got the item (did not clear the monitoring box). Had to enter the gp for him by hand. Not sure if that's something that can be changed or not.
Second thing is a request - would it be possible to monitor the loot distribution while the buttons for need/greed/pass are up? We have a great guild that is ready to pass for other members if they see that person needs it more. Right now we just wait to award the loot so that someone could say they are passing, but it would be nice if they could make that decision beforehand and just say pass with the buttons.
Thank you again!

Did Sartharion Heroic (with one extra dragon up for extra loot) - Loot rolls worked fine.
The gear scoring feature sounds like a helpful feature.

An update for you guys, just used v0.3.35 at Sartharion, all rolls went ok and no probs sorting the columns. Love to hear your results. Upcoming version will have the candidate names colored according to class and new inspect feature to retreive current equipment from people who do not have the addon installed.
Another feature im working on goes a little beyond the scope of this addon, but still: it calculates a score for the entire outfit of a player (someone your target or mouseover, everyone in party/raid or everyone in guild), allowing raidleaders to see easily what players are behind gear-wise or to quickly indentify possible candidates to join the raid. This will also show current talent build and other usefull information. As said, this is not something a loot distribution addon should contain, but it's for testing purposes and will probably be separated into another addon later. Expect more info on this later.

@Maddeathelf: v0.3.35 is up, i've changed the random roll generator. Please let me know how things go now... If it happens again that two candidates have identical rolls, please hover the roll value with your mouse pointer. A popup will open up and show you the full roll value (5 decimals) for more accuracy. Pls let me know if the roll column sorting works now.

Manaril was definately using the latest version.
You're looking at somewhere around 23:19 server time give or take 1 minute.
Just to point out we've never seen similar rolls on anything but the bags from sartharion. I doubt it's anything to do with that looking at how the rolls are generated but i've said it anyway!
BTW the whole rolls column not sorting thing - it's probably to do with not everyone having rolled - i.e it's still updating. in either case it's certainly not a bug that's repeated itself if it's a bug at all.... which i doubt.
your mod is still totally awesome! Plus the speed is awesome too now it's in raid channel.

I'd first like a confirmation from Maddeathelf that his loot master (Manaril) was also using the latest version.
