==What is Atlasloot==
AtlasLoot Enhanced is an UI mod allowing for loot tables of bosses to be browsed whenever needed within the game. It can access full item tooltips, show drop rates, allow items to be chat linked and to use the dressing room.
==Integration in other mods==
Atlasloot can be used as a stand-alone browser without a host mod or integrated in any map mod (works at the moment with Atlas and AlphaMap.)
==Portability==
Want Atlasloot Loot tables in your mod? Simply call the new function AtlasLoot_ShowBossLoot().
Example: You want to see Lucifron's loot attached to you player portrait....
pFrame = {"TOPLEFT", "PlayerFrame", "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0 }
AtlasLoot_ShowBossLoot(MCLucifron, "Lucifron", pFrame);
pFrame is an array holding how to display the loot.
pFrame = { anchor point, frame to anchor to, relative anchor point, x offset, y offset }
AtlasLoot_ShowBossLoot has the location of the data, text to be displayed as the boss name and the pFrame.
AtlasLoot_ShowBossLoot( dataID, Boss Name, pFrame)
==Latest Beta==
We do not officially release beta versions for Atlasloot. But you can update the mod daily through the WoW Ace SVN. Please note that we can not guarantee a bug-free and fully functional mod if you update from Ace.
==Configuration Menu==
Accessed by right-clicking the AtlasLoot minimap button or from the 'Options' button available on any AtlasLoot interface.
* Show Minimap Button: Adds the Atlasloot icon to the Minimap.
* Hide Atlasloot Panel: Removes the Atlasloot Panel from the main Atlas window.
* Safe Chat Links: Can only link items without the (Item Unavailable) tag. Slight chance of disconnect if you have an item in your local cache the server has not seen for a while, but unlikely.
* Enable all Chat Links (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK): Strong chance of disconnects, especially on items your server hasn't seen yet.
* AutoQuery items on loot tables (Disconnection risk): Atlasloot will automaticly query the server for all items on any loot table opened. Chance of disconnects.
* Supress text spam when querying items: This option disables the text, that is shown in your chat window, when you query the server for an item.
* Enhanced Tooltips: If you have Lootlink or ItemSync installed, you can use tooltips generated by them instead of the default tooltip. I recommend the Lootlink tooltips, they handle data not in your local cache well. If an item has (no iteminfo) after it you can only get the tooltip via Lootlink or ItemSync. Be careful with ItemSync, it is unstable on items not seen on your server (just the way ItemSync is).
* Show itemIDs at all times: Adds the itemID to the item tooltip.
* Show Comparison Tooltips: If you have EquipCompare installed it will use it, if not it uses the default Blizzard stuff.
* Notify me when a LoD Module is loaded: [something]
* Load all loot modules at startup: Atlasloot contains several modules. With this option enabled all of the modules, that you have installed, are loaded at startup.
* Make Loot Table Opaque: Makes the loot table background black so you can't see the map underneath.
==Slash Commands==
* '/al' or '/atlasloot' by itself brings up the loot browser.
* '/atlasloot options' brings up the options menu.
* '/atlasloot reset' resets the last viewed loot table (fixes disconnects when opening AtlasLoot) and moves all draggable frames back to the middle of the screen.
==Features==
Drop Rates: Appended to the bottom of the tooltip of an item when moused over (if available).
Dressing Room: Control-click items to show them in the Dressing Room.
Price Preview: See the prices for token items like PvP rewards.
DKP systems: Simply edit the file 'dkp.lua' using data from localization.en.lua (for the item ID numbers) and your guild's fixed price values to allow for DKP values to be shown in the tooltip. The stubs of some Lucifron items have been included to get you started and show you how it's done.
Security: AtlasLoot flags as unsafe any items it detects that may cause you to be disconnected from the server if you try to link it in the chat window. To attempt to get the item information from the server, simply right-click on it. Note: you may get disconnected if the item is not available on your server.
Instance Loot: All instance loot from every Dungeon (Normal and Heroic) and Raid.
World Raid Bosses: Highlord Kruul, Azuregos, Dragons of the Nightmare, Doom Lord Kazzak and Doomwalker.
Factions: WoW Factions and Burning Crusade factions rewards.
PvP: World PvP Items, Battleground Items including low level items, Honor rewards - Weapons and Armor, Arena Rewards - Weapons and Armor for all seasons.
Sets: ZG, AQ20, AQ40, Dugeon 1, 2 and 3, Tier 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Armor sets, Pre-60 sets, Crafted Sets, Crafted Epic Weapons, Tabards, Rare Mounts, Legendary Items, World BoE Epic Weapons, Heroic Token rewards.
World Events: Skettis, Abyssal Council, Ethereum Prison, etc.
Season Events: Feast of Winter Veil, Hallow's End, Brewfest, etc.
Wishlist: Alt-click on any item to add it to the wishlist, alt-clicking on an item in the wishlist deletes it. There are buttons added to the Atlas panel and the loot browser to open the wishlist.
Partial Searching: Allows searching the whole AtlasLoot database for an item where you only know part of the name.
Quicklooks [b]NEW IN 4.06.00[b]: Bind up to four loot tables to 'Quicklook' buttons, allowing you to jump to them with only one click.
===Using AtlasLoot Search===
To use the search function, just type as much of the name of the item as you can and click search. For example, if I type 'Potion' I will get multiple pages of results as every item in the database with 'potion' in its name is displayed. From here, just left-click on the item you were looking for to jump to the loot page it came from.
The small '->' button next to the search box allows you to toggle on and off which Load on Demand modules you want to search through. For example, you may only want to search PvP items, so you would untick all the LoD modules except the Sets and PvP module.
===The Wishlist===
The Wishlist is a much demanded feature that is finally available from version 4.05.00. The wishlist is accessed by clicking the 'Wishlist' button at the bottom of the Atlas frame or the loot browser. To add an item to the wishlist while browsing in AtlasLoot, simply Alt-Left Click on the item. To remove an item, click on the 'Wishlist' button to enter the wish list, and alt-click any item to remove it.
==History==
AtlasLoot was originally created by Pernicius as a plugin for Atlas and contained a handful of raid loot tables to browse. Unfortunately, Pernicius was unable to maintain the mod, so Daviesh took over and renamed it to AtlasLoot Enhanced to provide a distinction between the two versions. Since that time, AtlasLoot has grown to cover every loot table for every boss, every item set, PvP Items and items for every reputation faction.

This mod is distributed under Version 2 of the GPL. A copy of the GPL is included in this zip file with links to non-English translations.

If you cannot include it back in for whatever reason can you direct me to an older version that I could download which does?
The way the mod works, I link a text string in Atlas to a coded loot table. When the old Naxx stuff was no longer available in-game, there was no need for it and the links on that map now point to the new Naxx stuff.
Note that I do not support private servers, which is why unavailable stuff that would just disconnect you anyway sometimes is removed, but the last version of 'Old Naxx' as AtlasLoot v5.01.04 (the pre-WotLK version).

Ill do my best not to miss anything
- Furious Gladiator's Pike and Furious Gladiator's Battle Staff are missing their honor/arenapoints/ratingreq.
- All the itemlvl 239 weapons (higher gladiator weapons) require 2350 instead of 2200 rating.
And that was it already i think :P
What i'd like to see added btw is those honor/arenapoints/ratingreq. in the wishlist saves me a lot of searching through the tables
Originally posted by questarey Hi. Love your addon, only thing that annoys me is that you don't really seem to care about arena items :P in season 5 some ratingreq werent right anymore couse of changes, now they changed ratingreq for weaps in s6 and some data is missing.. Could you update it? =D
Keep it up, questarey
Specifically what is missing? I am pretty sure we have checked everything, but I am happy to make corrections.
Arena stuff is usually the slowest to update as the prices on PTR are almost never the prices on live servers.

Originally posted by moonshade I'm gonna post in the Atlas comments as well as i don't know if this issue is an Atlas or Atlas Loot issue. I have noticed w/ the latest versions that some loot items do not show for bosses when looking up the loot tables while integrated in Atlas. Example, The Soulblade shows up for Kel'thazud if searched for in Atlas Loot, but when looking @ the loot table in Atlas, it is not displayed.
It works fine for me, there should not be a difference as the same code is run whether you search in Atlas or AtlasLoot. Make sure you are using the right search box, the one you want is below the 'Load Modules' and 'Quicklooks' buttons. The other search box under the Atlas boss list only filters that Atlas text, it doesn't search for loot.

Originally posted by Phanx Could you please relax the "incompatible Atlas version" checking? I didn't download the last Atlas update, because the only change note read "fixed some locations in Blackwing Lair" and I didn't feel that fixing stuff in an instance I will never enter or look at again was worth a 14 MB download. I don't even install the OriginalWoW part of AtlastLoot. Unfortunately, when I did my weekly addon update today and grabbed the last update for AtlasLoot, I logged in and got a big angry box yelling at me.
To be perfectly honest, I don't even know why Dan released that version, he sprung it on me by surprise. My version checking is always forward looking, that is, there is an execution path for up-to-date Atlas and a slightly different execution path for the latest beta build. I'm not sure if it worth effort for me to do a new release with a workaround for this one unique case where Atlas didn't really change anything.
If you want a quick way to disable the nag screen for yourself, just open AtlasLoot\Core\AtlasLoot.lua and neat the top change the CURRENT_ATLAS_VERSION variable to "1.14.0" instead of "1.14.1".

Originally posted by AnrDaemon If I may suggest something...
For the multiple wishlists, it's likely you want to have separate wish list for different spec.
Let's say, we have single "Default" wishlist... *sigh* by default. Any Alt+Click will go to it.
If user want something "more advanced", he could went to "List manager" and rename/add/delete "wish lists" as he/she want. Then, if there's multiple wish lists, Alt+click will ask user, in which list he/she would like to add that item.
I think, something like this would be straightforward enough as well as backward compatible.
That is pretty much along the lines we are working. The code is non-trivial, but your concept matches up with what we and to do more or less. Exactly how we ask the user which wish list (say that 3 times fast! which wish, which wish, which wish) is a bit tricky. The easy way out is to use more dewdrop menus, but dewdrop belongs to a different Ace framework to the rest of the mod and I would love to phase it out if I could.

As you guessed, none of this is as easy as it sounds. There have been some discussions on the team for dealing with multiple wishlists. The issues are creating a UI allowing you to manage the wishlists, how to you easily add items to the right wishlist, etc. The simple one click to add and delete items would not cut it any more. The other problem is that I have to keep it all intuitive for new people to the mod, if I keep making it more and more complex I alienate new users.

Originally posted by Remanent My WishList for the WishList: (i know, bad joke)
been using atlasloot for a while, never had any problems with it, and still don't, but recently, as i've been progressing thru naxx 10/25, and into ulduar now, i've discovered the wishlist, while nice, there are some things i wonder if it'd be possible to add to it. namely the following 2 things:
1) In the Select loot table dropdown, have the wishlist there at the bottom perhaps, and the subtable could be:
a) any zone you have an item from your wishlist
b) any slot you have a gear wished for (IE: Feet, legs etc)
2) the ability to priortize items in a given slot type (ie, i want spark of hope more then i want the egg of mortal essence)
not sure if this is really possible, probably would be a real pain to code, but i mentioned this while a few guildies and i were going thru some of the gear, and they all thought this kind of feature would be amazing.
personally, i'm all for something along the lines of this:
idea 1 w/ this kind of format.
Select Loot Table -> WishList -> Zone
Select Subtable -> (gear slot)
content of those menus would be based on items in the wishlist
idea 2 would be more like a click drag and drop, so you could just grab the item holding down a key like ctrl, since shift and mouseover shows you what you currently have, and alt removes things from the wishlist

Originally posted by Daviesh Make sure all your other addons are up to date, other mods sometimes hijack the button. Tabard-o-matic is a known offender, there may be others.
You're right, Tabard-O-matic was the culprit there.
