Maelstrom Loot Manager

[Bevis]

here is a thread to discuss additions, problems, and fixes to my mod.

here is the readme
Maelstrom Loot Manager beta 0.2

To install this mod, just unzip to your interface folder.
Requires GetDKP Plus and uses Nurfed DKP(Not Required) for DKP values of items.

Loot Distribution UI for guilds using a 10 pt Tier'd zero-sum DKP.

This UI Requires GetDkp Plus to obtain player DKP values and uses functions of
GetDKP to determine which classes are eligable and print out list of who needs
and who has the item of interest.

To use this mod, do a /mlm (link the item)

then you can announce the item (with a default 30 second time to allow ppl to roll)
If it times out it closes the auction, and announces the winner
There is also a button to close the auction.
then you click the delete button to clear the item.


I wrote this UI to help me with distributing loot in my previous guild. We used a zero-sum
DKP system with 10 point tiers. All players interested in the item would roll, and the player
in the highest tier would win the item. If two or more players are in the same tier, the roll
determined the winner.

Tiers are defined as shown bellow
DKP >0 and DKP <= 10 Tier 1
DKP >10 and DKP <= 20 Tier 2
and so for upwards
DKP >-10 and DKP <= 0 Tier 0
DKP >-20 and DKP <= -10 Tier -1
and so forth downward

So here is an example
Player A has dkp of 23.2 and rolls a 20
Player B has dkp of 24.5 and rolls a 50
Player C has DKP of 10 and rolls a 99

The list would come out to
Player B Tier 3 Roll 50
Player A Tier 3 Roll 20
Player C Tier 1 Roll 99

So even though Player C won the roll, Player A and B are in higher Tiers, and Player B
wins the item.

The UI adds the player to the GetDKP list if they do not exist with a DKP of 0, so they
can be manually adjusted then using /dkp+ or /dkp-


To Do:
Attempts to pull DKP from nurfed DKP automatically. This only works the first time and
breaks from then on (Figure this out)
Auto update DKP for players once they roll (left this out to avoid mistakes)

There may be some errors, Im not a programmer by trade, but by hobby, so if you look through my
code, please dont rip me a new one
