I made my eqdkp site into a EP/GP( http://code.google.com/p/epgp/wiki/Home?tm=6 )
system, using this guide: http://houseofelders.net/forum/index.php?topic=224.0. This is the only real guide out there to do EPGP for eqdkp. Im also a long time user of dkplp so it was obvious to me that I would use this system for uploading and fixing up logs before uploaded.

The problem is however, that the whole decay part of EPGP just dont work on anything I upload with dkplp. Im not a php programmer, but I am currently doing a bachelor in computer science and learning C++.

Here is my eqdkp site: http://www.nightmare-guild.org/eqdkp
U can see the decay value if u click on a player under standings. The value is supposed decay by 10% each week, but it starts as 0.0 and stays so forever!

I also noticed that if I made a individual adjustment it decay, but I would have to adjust it by setting the dkp value manually on the user config of that person :S

Im just wondering if I need to change how dkplp uploads stuff to fix this or if there is a fix at all :S

I posted this on the EQDKP site, but wanted to put this here as well, since it applies to you:


I just wanted to explain why decay doesn't work when you use DKPLP. I had the same issue!

For Moxley's mod, when you add in a raid manually (through the admin interface) it adds in a "Decayed Value" for the raid, and any applicable loot. Initially those values are equal to the EP value for the raid and the GP value for the item. When you apply decay, it decays the "Decayed Value" not the original EP or GP value.

When you parse things in DKPLP, it doesn't know about those two new table fields that Moxley uses, so you'd need to either edit the table manually copy the EP or GP values into the Decayed Value field, or if you have access to Cron scripts (some web hosts offer this, or other software packages, like vBulletin, offer a "Scheduled Tasks" way) you can have a script run and do it for you.

Since I run vBulletin (not integrated with EQDKP), I have it run a MySQL query and update the values accordingly. I'd be happy to quote the MySQL query in here if you'd like, but you would need to unapply any decay that you've done, so that it decays properly!

I too run vbulletin but I am having a lot of trouble integrating it in the forums... Any help you can provide would be great.
