|

Status: Included in version 1.4.0
Problem
The predefined pattern sets for EQ and EQ2 assign loot by saying a command-like line to a channel of choice, however the command is not preceded by *[word] like every other DKP Log Parser command. This is because assigning loot was the first command and it is hard to accidentally say something that matches it. However this is contra intuitive as all other commands lines begin with *[word] .
Suggestion
Modify the loot command of all EQ and EQ2 predefined pattern sets so that they start with *Loot . Additionally add support for decimals and negative prices.
Pitfalls
The change is easy, the hard part is to make sure that people know of the change. The last thing one would want to happen is that someone continues logging loot like they used to, just to find out that it no longer works. So it is important to make it extra clear in the changelogs that the way to assign loot has changed slightly for EQ and EQ2. |
