TakBot3
Not a scary beta, already used daily.
It's beta because it's open for new features, not because it's not working yet
TakBot3 is a lightweight, unobtrusive raid logger that covers 97.5% of your average raid's needs. TakBot series has been used and tested for over a year. Version 3 is a complete rewrite in preparation for TBC & smaller raid sizes, with a focus on ease-of-use.
DKP: fast DKP calculation based on simple modifiable rules. Just copy-paste it into your PHP afterwards.
Modes: switch between farm, normal and progression modes mid-raid, with separate DKP/hour & DKP/kill for each.
Bosskills: detected and logged automagically, even the tougher ones.
Bidding: do '/bid [Itemlink]' to open public bidding in /ra. Do '/give [Itemlink] name price' to prio item w/o bidding.
Synced: loot data & mode changes are synced between all running TakBots in raid.
Sharing: if you have report screen open, you can receive reports from other players in raid.
Customizable: check out TakBot3_Custom.lua for guidance. No LUA experience required, but might help.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated
Changes:
b6 -> b7:
- NOTE: some variable names in TakBot3_Custom.lua have changed
- reworked report screen
- added report saving&loading
- added share button to report screen - click to share currently shown report
- misc tweaks.

The features were added as they became necessary, like for example the disconnect recovery around when we were on Sulfuron in MC and our GM had disco trouble, or bosskill detection when I decided that the user shouldn't be bothered with an extra click every time something important dies. Or the DKP calculation, ofc - doing it right there in-game is efficient time-wise and the rules being that transparent there's no cause of discontent. Basically it's a tool to fulfill a very specialized need. I decided to post it publicly after another raid on our server switched to TB from CT_RaidTracker about half a year ago (as in WTF, that's actually useful to someone other than me?). Back then it was TB2 and I didn't think it polished enough to be presentable. It is now |

Re: eqdkp support
I haven't had a reason to poke around with EQDKP myself, therefore I don't know what format it requires. BUT! Someone could easily use the TB3_EXPORT function to output EQDKP-compatible data. I believe all the necessary information is logged by TB (if not, it can be added), and I try to keep my code readable - next upload will have full information about logs' data structure included in comments by TB3_EXPORT. We use a simple custom PHP solution for DKP on our website. Updating for us is Ctrl-C to copy report, Alt-Tab to DKP site, Ctrl-V to paste, click 'Import' and let explode() do it's magic. No screwing around with scripts or external programs

The modes are in for... well, you know how it's a big problem in classic DKP/hour bidding systems that farming tends to give same DKP as progression raiding - or even more - unless there are special bonuses or whatever implemented. With the modes, you can assign separate DKP/hour for farming, normal runs & progression runs, so that time spent in progression will be rewarded differently from farming w/o you having to do any extra maths on the side. Better yet, you can switch modes mid-raid. It's possible to start logging on normal mode, then switch to progression for new content and maybe even spend the end of raid in farmmode somewhere else. TakBot keeps track of all that so you don't have to I decided against a manual because I'm an UI elitist - everything should be easy to understand w/o having to read through readmes; and I much prefer answering questions about specific details to writing every single thing I can think of into one huge and unwieldly textfile. Oh, and the only command atm is '/bid', everything else is accessible via the minimap button. |
