Tribesloot Addon

Hi All,

The WoW addon "TribesLoot" is now available for download, from here .

Description

-------------

This addon can be used by the Master Looter to automatically distribute coins, bijous, scarabs and idols in ZG and AQ respectively. The tool takes class into account for the AQ items, but not for ZG since the items are no longer needed for class handins with primals so now all only need all coins and bijous for rep handin. The tool attempts to perform an even distribution to all members in raid (based on class where appropriate, i.e. in AQ).

Installation

-------------

In the zip file are two addons, each a separate directory - TribesLoot and Chronos. This is because TribesLoot needs Chronos to work. If you already have Chronos installed, then there should be no need to install this one, especially if your version is newer.

To install TribesLoot (and Chronos if required) simply unpack the zipfile and move or copy the TribesLoot (and Chronos if required) directory to your WoW/interface/addons directory.

Use

----

Just one command is all you will usually need; Once you are (a) in ZG or AQ, and (8-) are Master Looter, type "/tl init" (without the quotes). This will zero all counts of all items for all people, set the correct type of distribution (class based in AQ, not in ZG) and enable the addon. From hereon use is automatic.

Each time you loot a body as ML, the addon will look at each item in turn, roll, and assign the item to the winner. There is a four second delay between assignment of each item, so be patient - this is necessary to solve problems regarding assignment of multiple items e.g. when a mob drops a nijou and a coin, or when you open a scarab bag with seven scarabs in it.

If at any time the roller fails to allocate the item, it will still roll and display winners for all items. The ML can then manually assign them. Note that if you close and then reopen loot, the roller will believe this is more new loot and attempt to roll and assign accordingly!

Additional commands

/tl off - can be used to turn off the automatic roll and assignment if needed

/tl on - to turn it back on

/tl reset - to reset counts for all people to zero, as if no loot has been given

/tl classes on - to enable class-based distribution of loot

/tl classes off - to disable class-based distribution, loot is instead evenly distributed to all

/tl showloot - display (to ML only) current loot assigned/won

n.b. just FYI /tl init effectively performs "/tl reset", "/tl classes [on/off]" (AQ/ZG), "/tl on"

Credits

--------

The tool is based on the original tool GotlZgLoot v1.0.3 by Rui Barreiros, with several modifications, fixes and extensions by me for tribes specific use.

Asbach.

Minor update to roller - depending how initialisation was done, v1.0.3 would still sometimes attempt to do class-based distribution. Now fixed in v1.0.4 so please download and install if ML-ing. Link updated to new version in main post above.

Workaround if still using v1.0.3 is to perform a "/tl classes off" after the initial "/tl init", but best just to use the new version.

Cheers,

As.
