Group O Matic

Main (zhCN)

Group O Matic is a tool for raid leaders. It does the following:

  • Gives you the ability to save and restore raid member positions
  • Gives you an auto-arrange command, which tries to find the best group arrangement based on class/spec, and then automatically arranges the raid to match it.
  • Adds slash commands to swap raid members' groups (for macros to move people on the fly)
  • New in 1.1: Auto-arrange template for AB/EotS which will move people at the same node into the same group.

  • Macro Commands:

/rs Name1 Name2 (Swaps two people)

/rm Name Group# (Moves Name into Group#)

  • Raid Save and Restore:

Restore will try to get the current raid as close as possible to the saved raid. If there are people missing they will be ignored, and if there are extra people they will be auto-arranged.

  • Auto Arrange:

Will scan the raid's talents (if a player is out of range, GOM will still see their talents if they are running GOM also) and uses them to automatically set up the raid. If GOM can't find someone's talents (because they're offline, etc) it will use their last known talents. Anyone whose talents are unknown will have defaults filled in by class.

  • Auto Arrange Templates:

GOM supports user-created templates to modify how the auto-arranger behaves. If you want to create one, see templates.lua. I've included an Alterac Valley template in addition to the default PvE raid template which is built-in.

  • AB/EotS template:

Note that using the auto-arrange with this template will probably only be useful to you if you're in an AB/EotS game that is in-progress. It scans all raid members' current sub-zone ("mine", "stables", etc) and groups people at the same place together. Remember that GOM can't work while *you* the raid leader are in combat, but it doesn't matter if other people are, and you can macro /gom auto and hit it when you have a few seconds OOC.
