Lootster is a loot rolling interface that allows you to call for and capture loot roll, arbitrate ties and announce winner(s).
The roll handling includes to use normal 100 rolls, 100/1000 rolls, Free-For-All rolls, straight DKP, DKP Tiers, DKP Modified Roll rolls, or Roll Modified DKP rolls, with membership priority, for loot arbitration.
In addition, Lootster has raid, boss, attendance and loot tracking, and has a raid/boss/attendance/loot reporting capability, and allows the synchronisation of raid data from another player.
Finally, it has the ability to keep personalised class restrictions on loot, and allows the synchronisation of item data from another player.
Language Support:
Although basic roll capture will work in French and German, the additional abilities (loot capture) will not, and therefore I have not indicated that this supports other languages.
If somebody wants to translate the addon, let me know via PM on this site. You will be given credit for the translation.
Known Issues:
* If you are not in a party/raid, you will see no Lootster messages unless you switch on Debug messages. Working as intended
* Whispers to players when they are AFK with whisper suppression on will still show the AFK message. Not sure this is an issue really

Installation:
Unzip into \Interface\AddOns
User Interface:
The UI is use to perform all functions, and call be toggled (shown/hidden) through three methods:
* Command line via the /lootster or /ls command
* Minimap button that can be used to toggle the UI
* A small Lootster frame that can be used to toggle the UI
The UI can be moved anywhere on the screen via dragging the Lootster box. If the Minimap button is not used, then the small frame will be shown, and visa versa.
Usage:
Lootster by default will start up in inactive mode. This means that pressing any of the buttons on the Roll and Rules pages will only go to your chat (although the text will indicate which chat channel it would of been sent).
The addon can be made Active by checking the Active check box on the Roll page. Any buttons pressed while in a party/raid will send messages to the appropriate channel (if you are not in a party/raid, the messages will again be sent to just to your chat).
You are effectively in 'snoop' mode when Lootster is not active. This means you can press all the buttons to setup roll calling, but other players will not see you messages. You will however process rolls as if you were the loot caller. Note that if the Snoop debug messages option is checked, you will receive debug messages to your chat window.
Example Use:
The typical use is:
1) Clear rolls (in case there were not cleared from last roll call)
2) Link item from loot/chat/inventory window (optional) or clear the link if is set but unused
3) Call for NEED rolls
4) Wait for rolls. If not everyone rolls, you have the ability to countdown (time in seconds settable through options)
5) Announce winner, or, if no rollers, clear rolls and call for GREED rolls
6) Wait for rolls. If not everyone rolls, you have the ability to countdown (time in seconds settable through options)
7) In the event of a tie, the Announce will inform the party/raid of the tied winners, and the TIED roll call button will be enabled to allow the tied winners to reroll
8) Wait for rolls. If not everyone tied winner rolls, you have the ability to countdown (time in seconds settable through options)
Note 1: In the event of a tied roll, only rolls from the players that tied will be accepted and shown.
Note 2: If a player types "pass" into party/raid chat during a roll:
a) If they had previously rolled, that roll will be remembered but not considered for win announcement. You will see it as a negative roll.
b) If they had not previously rolled, you will see a zero roll. If the player rolls after passing, their "pass" will be ignored.
Note 3: If a player types "reclaim" into party/raid chat during a roll:
a) If they had previously rolled then passed, that roll will be reinstated.
b) If they had no previous roll or they had not passed, the reclaim will be ignored.
Future Developments:
* Auto roll and loot assignment when Master Looter for BoEs

This is Zedd, the creator of WebDKP. I don't have any problems with you integrating with WebDKP - and I can gladly give you all the information on the file format. I do plan on releasing the website to the public domain, so I don't have any problems with releasing info on the source. If you're still interested in integration, feel free to drop me a line on the webdkp forms: www.webdkp.com/phpBB2
Originally posted by utahcarol Hmmm. The only thing their setup does is create a lua file, then the sync tool uploads/downloads it. The website does all the list processing, as with most systems (EQDKP comes to mind). The format would probably easy to imitate, as your mod has what their mod has (and then some).
But hey, it was a thought. Thanks for the reply!
You are correct - their web site does keep the DKP data. However, they have not put their web site source code into the public domain (like EQDKP, NDKP and Null DKP), so I am unable to write the code that would write the lua file for Lootster, like their Sync tool does (which, at least from the FAQ I read, was the only way to get the data downloaded).
It might also be possible for me to hack into the data loaded by their WebDKP addon, but I am not sure a) its actually accessible programatically, and b) that the WebDKP authors would be sanguine about it.
Hmm, in looking at the WebDKP web site, it appears they run their own system, so it is not possible for me to be able to write the Lootster DKP tables from their web site. It also appears that the only way you can download the DKP is via their Sync tool, so generation of the Lootster DKP table from their web site may be problematic.
An altearnative means would be for their WebDKP addon to build the Lootster DKP tables from its own (WebDKP ) addon data (which was downloaded via the Sync tool). However, this means that somebody has to be able to do that in their addon - probably them. It also raises a bunch of synchronisation issues between the two addons, which I must admit I don't want to even think about at this time.
Given that you are a GM (or your GM buys into this), I would suspect it might be better for you to float the idea first (the ability to download the Lootster DKP data from their web site, like I have exposed for EQDKP, NDKP and Null DKP) maybe on their forums or such. Depending on how that goes, there still may be some issues between the two addons (bookkeeping loot wins for example, though the WebDKP addon seems to be able to do that automatically).
There might be other ways of doing this, but I imagine having you or yours as a 'sponsor' may get more traction than I would (as some numbnut off the street ) in getting them to at least look at it.
Comments?
