GreedBeacon Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

GreedBeacon is a simple roll-monitoring addon. It does two things: block the "detailed loot roll" spam, and provide a chat link tooltip to pull up those blocked details.

"Detailed Loot Information" must be turned on in the default config, otherwise GreedBeacon cannot get the roll details.

Then I can redirect all the roll info to my combat log or some other frame that doesn't normally show, and toggle to it when I need to see rolls in progress.

You can already redirect loot information into another chat frame (not the combat log though). If that's what you would like to do, then right-click the tab that you want to send loot information to, select "Settings" then choose what information you want to appear in this chat window. Be sure to turn off loot information in your regular chat window. IMPORTANT: if you have Greed Beacon, it doesn't matter which window you have told to display loot information, Greed Beacon will still suppress it.

You might also try teksLoot with this mod; it is a replacement for xLoot, which shows you how many people needed/greeded on your loot window.

However, one feature I would like, or know how to make the change in the lua, is the ability to have the Greed Beacon text go to different chat frames for different toons. I haven't tried this with Reflux yet to see if I can emulate a profile, but I thought there might be an even easier way in Greed Beacon to do this. Either way, thanks so much for your wonderful addons.

I used it for the first time in Gundrak today on my Pally, and lo and behold a piece of gear for my off-spec drops. I wanted to see if anyone had rolled Need on it; if not, I wouldn't feel bad asking for permission from the group to need it. Obviously, I couldn't even see who rolled what, so I just greeded. (Good thing, the tank needed it too!) Could you maybe add a slash command or something to output rolls so far if I need to see them while rolling is in progress? Or perhaps redirect loot info to combat log (or other selectable chat frame)?

It works for me when I use the fix posted on googlecode:

Quote:

Drop back to the release version, replace this stirng in GreedBeacon.lua:
for frame,val in pairs(chatframes) do if val then frame:AddMessage(msg) end end
with this:
ChatFrame1:AddMessage(msg)
That will simply force output to CF1 instead of trying to find which frames to output
into.

I did the locale myself, here it is: http://rapidshare.de/files/40306348/GreedBeacon.lua.html BTW, it would be helpful i guess to separate locale files frome core lua.
