Broker Group in StatBlockCore

Configuration Menu

Broker Group Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Note from the Author : I'm no longer playing World of Warcraft and as such, the current addon will not be receiving any more updates. If you are an author or generally familiar with lua and would like to continue development, feel free to pm or email me.

Broker Group is an Ace3/LibDataBroker "conversion" of the popular GroupFu by Rabbit. Credit goes to the original author and many thanks for the permission to make this possible.

Functionality wise, Broker Group will normally show the group looting type unless there is a roll in progress, at which point it will announce the winner after X seconds of delay (it should be a configurable delay from the last roll made, please report if that is not the case).

Left-Clicking on the plugin will cause it to perform a standard roll. Shift + Left Click will cause it to clear the roll and Ctrl + Left Click will announce the winner on the output channel of your choice (Say, Party, Raid, Guild) or locally (only to you).

Right-Clicking on the plugin will show the configuration menu, where you will be presented with some standard group options plus output channel selection, roll delay, instance difficulty setting, random loot passing, etc.

Broker Group does not provide it's own display, you will need a LDB-based display addon, such as Fortress, Carousel, StatBlockCore, Titan etc.

Change Log - Broker Group

2.2 [2009.09.05]

Froagh A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 48 Uploads: 0	I would like the countdown to end when I announce the winner of the roll. As it is now, the roll will popup after the countdown regardless when I click the announce. The only other thing that would be ideal, though maybe not probable or too heavy, is the ability to have master looter right click the loot with an option to ask the raid/party to roll on that item, or something to that effect. Otherwise a great addon. __________________ Show me your friends and I will show you your future Last edited by Froagh : 09-24-2009 at 11:22 AM.

I will consider it, though I believe the extra code isn't that much worth the minor inconvenience.

On a side note, I've added an option to shorten the instance difficulty text to the very basic information, as people complained it was too long for some displays.

Have you updated to version 2.0 ? Because it seems that you haven't. If you believe you have, you need to perform a clean installation.

Hrm. No way to get it to just adopt the right click menu a player frame normally has? Eh, it would be my ideal system, honestly, as the popping up and closing of panels constantly is a lot of what I aim to avoid in using an infobar. That said, I guess it's more trouble than it's worth, and I'm not going to sit here and argue it, I'll just go on using GroupFu...

The Reset All Instances button works exactly as the equivalent Fu does though I admit, that lifting the no group restriction makes sense. I will do that in the next release.

This at least, as I said, would be something of a small improvement.

If I might add, there is an opportunity here to make a minor improvement on the original as well. The "leader functions" that GroupFu provides waxed a bit overzealous, it seems- it greys out the Reset All Instances function if you aren't in a group.

Yet this is a function you can use without being in a group (just so long as you aren't in a group and aren't the leader). And I use it rather often, given how often I farm old world instances solo. I find myself having to target myself and use the right click menu there in order to accomplish this. It's something of an annoyance.

Errrr, as far as I'm aware, you can set your loot method/threshold, leave group via the right-click configuration screen. You just right-click the plugin and it opens the configuration right there. Is there anything missing from that ? If you are implying to remove the configuration screen in favor of a right-click menu, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I want to do that. I have had nothing but issues when trying to use Blizzard's dropdown system and DewDrop-2.0 is over bloated.

Actually, I'm researching ways to do it, but I might end up just coding a custom solution. We'll see. Deformat was really a "leftover" from the FuBar implementation that I was too busy at that point (or too lazy, take your pick

), to recode.
