HeadCount - Raid member tracking

HeadCount

HeadCount is a configurable World of Warcraft add-on that tracks raid attendance, loot, and boss kills.

HeadCount answers the following questions:

How long is a player active in a raid?
How long is a player on standby for a raid?
How long is a player offline during a given raid?
What loot dropped during a raid and who received it?
What boss kills occurred during a given raid and who was there for the kill?

More information can be found on the HeadCount wiki:
http://www.wowace.com/projects/head-count/

Main features

Raids
Raid creation: Automatically creates a new raid as you join or start a raid.
Raid finalization: Automatically ends an existing raid as you leave a raid.
Raid management: The user can end raids, remove raids, or remove all raids on demand.
Raid zone tracking: Zone name are automatically added to raids as you zone into a raid instance for the first time.

Player attendance
Player tracking: Players are tracked based on their timed participation in the raid. Players can be tracked based on configurable raid groups for raid list activity (active raiding players) and wait list players (queue/standby players).
Player removal: The user can remove tracked information for specific players on demand.
Player history: View specific player history for a raid to see how and when a player moved from activity to standby to offline and back during a raid.
No list tracking: Players can be tracked as non-raid list and non-standby players as needed. Players that go offline are automatically taken out of the raid and wait list groups for tracking purposes.
Integrated wait list: Receive whispers from members outside of the raid group in order to track them.

Boss kills
Boss kill tracking: Tracks the world bosses killed during the course of a raid and the raid list members present for the kill.
Boss kill removal: The user can remove tracked boss kills on demand.

Loot
Loot tracking: Tracks loot received during a raid based on configurable item level quality (default: Epic item level or higher)
Loot removal: The user can remove specific pieces of loot on demand.
Loot exclusion: The user can manage loot exclusion which will prevent certain pieces of loot from being tracked during a raid. (e.g. - Emblem of Valor)

Export
Export: Users can export current raid attendance and received loot information to one of a number of formats (CSV, XML, Text, EQdkp XML string, DKPBoard, Text, phpBB forum post, phpBB with ItemStats forum post).

Reporting
Boss kill broadcast: The user can optionally broadcast when the raid kills a boss to a configurable chat channel.
Loot broadcast: The user can optionally broadcast when a player receives a valid piece of loot to a configurable chat channel.

Performance
Fault tolerance: If the mod owner quits WoW, restarts WoW, or reloads their UI during a raid and returns to the game, HeadCount will attempt to gracefully recover from the outage to continue tracking the active raid.
Attendance delay: Configure how often HeadCount should manage attendance updates to increase or decrease performance and/or accuracy.

In the configuration options, select XML as your export. Many users like the dropdown menu, so right click on the minimap button

Export -> Export format -> Select XML

In the user interface, the top panel lists all of the tracked raids. To the right of each raid line, there is an export button. Click it and a popup frame should display with the XML data. You can only export raid data for ended raids, not raids that are currently ongoing.

----

Raid history (26 raids)
Raid_id Raid_time Zone_name Export_button Remove_button

---

Copy the highlighted export string and paste it to where you want to use it outside of WoW.

We use it much to follow the distribution of the loots during the raids. However we would like to see a functionality in more such as the possibility of sorting the whole of the members in the history and of knowing their loots obtained since they're in the raids that they took part. This, in order to know the proportion of user which have much chance of those which have some less.

This is not currently possible as there is no simple feature in game to display the members of a given raid.

What exactly do you use the mid-raid player list for? Are you trying to update DKP or attendance after each boss?

seppyk A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 13 Uploads: 1	For those who read this thread. The unknown class issue in EQdkp apparently had to do with using an old version of EQdkp. When the string is read in, the import parser did not know how to classify any class of level 80. For example, Warrior (Level 80) - Unknown Mage (Level 80) - Unknown etc. This is because of the class definitions in the database. The EQdkp database needs to be updated to define Warriors up to level 80 as being a valid class name. This issue was caused by the release of the new expansion (raising the level cap to 80) and how it related to the web application only supporting characters up to level 70.

Are you certain it is all classes or just Death Knights?

Are you using EQdkp or EQdkp plus, and which version of the CTRT import plugin are you using?

it is all classes, CT-RT Import 1.16.8, but not sure how often if at all my managing site is updated. i don't run my own sql.

also a request:> manually adding a loot to a boss

What do you use to track your DKP? If you are using the CTRT Import for EQdkp, I think triggers can be configured within the web application to automatically break apart a single raid into many different raids of individual bosses. This may relieve a lot of extra manual work in the long run.

Yeah, I've got it setup that way, but with everything being new content still, I like to keep it updated every boss, so there's no confusion what someone's dkp is at any given moment. I suspect once everything slows down a bit and things are on farm, I'll start doing it night by night instead.

Thanks for the quick responses, and for writing such a badass mod of course

I've been exporting each boss as its own raid so I can update the dkp on the fly. Right now I put the list of loot that boss dropped in the raid note, for reference mostly. Honestly it's not a huge deal, more of a convenience thing, and I realize most people arent using it the same way I am anyway. I'll look into adding a fix myself, and sending you the code.

I do have some other requests though:

1) When I'm browsing through the completed raids, make it so if I'm viewing the loot in one raid, and select a different raid, it keeps me at the loot view, and doesn't go back to the raid list.

2) Option to rename raids

3) Option to have a list of the loot as the raid note on export.

1. I'll take a look at reproducing this.

I am not that good in the LUA coding and don't know if the addon supports automatic locale settings.
(I would try it out myself but currently there are no guildraids for us the next few days.)

I'd like to add DE support to the game, but I'm hesistant to do so without someone who can commit to supporting it fully. That being said, if you want to play around with the translation listed below, feel free to add it to the "HeadCount/locale" folder as de_DE.lua.

Make sure one of the beginning lines reads:

L:RegisterTranslations("deDE", function() return {

instead of the English-U.S. one present in en_US.lua:

L:RegisterTranslations("enUS", function() return {

To my understanding, both locale files can be present in the locale directory. Depending on the version of your WoW client (English or German), the proper locale file will be read and used automatically. Under a German WoW client, if a lookup is done for a message key that is present in the deDE resource bundle, it will use the German translation. If the message key is not present, I think it would default back to the English translation.
