LootAlert  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 23
by: kergoth [More]

LootAlert displays your loot (money & item) messages in a scrolling text addon (sct, fct, msbt, ..). For money, it can show in 3 formats, whichever you choose. For items, it shows how many you looted and how many you now have, in total, in your inventory. It can color the item by rarity, show an item icon, and so on. It can reformat chat loot messages to use its formatting as well, for consistency. It does not yet show party members or raid member looting.

23:
- Add ruRU translation, courtesy StingerSoft
22:
- Fix error at login seen when HideLooted is not installed
21.1:
- Fix Interface version
21:
- Add release notes for version 21
- Add support for the HideLooted addon's filtering
- Default to LibSink's prioritized default sink, rather than UIErrorsFrame
- Fix for changes in recent versions of WoW
- Update to the latest versions of the embedded libraries
- Bump .toc Version
- Fix filesystem case issues.
- Add deDE translation, courtesy DoofDilla.
20:
- Switch the gold/silver/copper global string usage for 2.4.2.
19:
- Fix the options.lua error.
18:
- Kill AceDBOptions lib, since I'm not using it.
- Kill some debug code, since I'll be handling that elsewhere.
- Code reorganization.
- Fix bug reported by mindleglalaxy.. I wasn't handling the itemlink/itemstring properly. Fixed by ensuring we always grab the suffixid, and only grab the uniqueid if it contains the bits for scaled random suffixes.
17:
- Only send chat messages to the chat frames if db.chat is disabled.
- Don't filter out all chat loot messages, only those we'll be handling (we don't want to hide other people looting stuff..).
16:
- Fix the chat message stuff to only output to frames that have item loot enabled.
15:
- Apply the quality threshold to the examples again.
- Rework the way I'm handling the chat message modification. This should fix the last of the total count problems people have been running into with the new method enabled.
- Make newmethod default again, since it should be stable now.
14:
- Don't pause while trading or at a merchant, as they generate loot events.
- Make the total count in loot messages pretend that no items have hit the bags yet as of the loot message.
Example: If you were to loot 600 ammo all at once, depending on lag, it
could have shown: +200 (600), +200 (600), +200 (600) for the 3 messages,
indicating that all 600 hit the inventory prior to getting any of the loot
messages. While accurate, this is confusing to users. With this change,
it would show: +200, +200 (400), +200 (600).
13:
- Add option to enable/disable the new method of keeping track of total item counts, disabled by default.
- Fix the chatthres option (was acting like it was always on).
- Kill the Chat option from the LibSink output options, as it's pointless.
12:
- Fix self is nil error in chat processItems function.
- Reset lootprocessed to 0 when lootchatcount changes, to try to fix this odd count problem people are seeing.
- Change default output to UIErrorsFrame, as the libsink-2.0 fallback is chatframe1, which is silly.
- Add option to apply the item quality threshold to chat loot messages.
- Disable the 'apply to chat messages' option when chat message filtering is off.
11:
- Fix the options error in the example setup code.
10:
- Fix the miscount bug which has been floating around for ages.
9:
- Don't strip off the suffixes/enchants/etc of items that have them.
8:
- Add option to modify the loot chat messages to also have LootAlert's formatting.
- Add tek's "about" panel to the config.
- Set default profile to Default, as I highly doubt anyone would need to change this per character.
- Don't create our options tables until we need them.
7:
- Add LibSink-2.0 to OptDeps.
- Hardcode some info for the examples, so they don't need to be in the item cache to work.
6:
- Add "Example Messages" to options.
- Add ability to override / disable the "Loot: " prefix.
- Reorganize the options, moving Output to its own subcategory in the interface options and grouping the formatting options together.
- Fix the behavior of the Text Color option.
5:
- Change Item Quality Threshold into a dropdown instead of a slider.
- Change the layout of the output settings so they aren't cut off in Interface Options.
- Update LibSink-2.0 to fix the bug with AceConfig-3.0 scrollAreas config.
4:
- Added Item Quality Threshold option, so you can hide greys if you want to.
- Add in game configuration in the Interface Options and via /la or /lootalert.
- Use an embedded texture for the item icon for MSBT instead of using its skill icon stuff.
- Add the missing embedded libraries.
- Update to use LibSink-2.0 for output.
3:
- Prep for in game config.
- Fixups, cleanups, and add support for 2.4 texture links.
2:
- Fix sct display.
- Kill a bit of unnecessary string mt usage, color the item loot string such that only the item name itself is colored by rarity, and color the money loot string.. and clean up a little.
- Fix a couple little bugs and change the format for a loot when you're looting 1 item, but have >0 in the inventory already.
- Add spaces between gold & silver and silver & copper, and add support for icon in sct & msbt.
- Further cleanup.
1:
- Initial release.

I am still having the problem with loot in the chat window. If i click the link that Lootaleart creates I don't see any stats just the basic item and auctioneer stuff. If I click any other item in chat through party, raid, trade etc eveything works well. The fault only appears when using loot alert. Apart from that the addon works great and your suggestion for Parrot worked gr8 ty.

Problem Still.

Hi,

I am still having the problem with loot in the chat window. If i click the link that Lootaleart creates I don't see any stats just the basic item and auctioneer stuff. If I click any other item in chat through party, raid, trade etc eveything works well. The fault only appears when using loot alert.

Hope you can help.

Also using EN-us client Alliance toons and have deleted old saved var files incase of conflict with older version that I previously tried. Any ideas appreciated,

Thanks again

Hmm well i had upgraded previously from 12 to 17 and i didn't delete the wtf files relating to lootalert, i deleted them this morning and touch wood everything has been working perfectly since with the new system enabled, hs's in raids, craftings including alch procs, loots, and enchanting transmutes.

I'll keep an eye on things but perhaps outdated config files causing the bizarre problems? a redundant setting perhaps

edit - i just checked the current wtf compared to the one i deleted and their the same, barking up the wrong tree i guess

Creating stuff was one of the first things I tested to make sure the new method fixed the problems, since the old method always had problems with that.. I'll try to reproduce it again though. Thanks for your patience.

I've got one problem with this great addon.

The counting works for me (since the new method) , but the loot "formating" hides loot rolls on items and who won what.

Is there no way to have both chat formatting and the loot rolls?

The new method, I'm not able to reproduce any problems with anymore, not with v17. You're using the latest? It's frustrating not being able to fix the problems for people since I can't make it happen here At least people can go back to the old way if they're running into problems, so they can at least be up and running.
yep using version 17, it was doing it again in raid tonight, i'd take a healthstone and it would say (2) i'd take a second one and it would say (2) again then later after i'd used one i'd take another and now it would say (3) really bizarre, it seems to be the first loot thats going heywire and its following on from there.

edit : created items seems to be causing the bug with the new code, i just started cooking a batch of food and the first counted as 2 then it continued fine

I know you support SCT etc but was hoping you could look into it incase its not to hard to add support for.

One other thing that you may have corrected when I clicked on any loot above and including green it would give me the tooltip and basic details but nothing about dps or intellect, stamina etc none at all. I am using Link wrangler http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/5379/ and don't know if that has anything to do with it as I removed the addon as it is effecting my ui to much where it is.

Thanks for such a great addon hope you can help me out?
Parrot is supported, but you'd want to disable parrot's existing support for loot messages, otherwise you'd see two for everything, and the bug with links missing "of the" was fixed some time ago.
