WoW Configuration check: time and event based hybrid

[gorum]

Hello,

First thing I want to say is thank you.
Great job on this program and with your quick responses, bug fixes, and updates.

We are a World of Warcraft guild.

This is the current system my guild uses to assign DKP.

1 DKP point for 'On-time'
1 DKP point for 'Ending' - (being there at the end (whole raid))
1 DKP point for Each hour
1 DKP point for Each boss - (which may vary, i.e. Ragnaros = 2, or Onyxia = 2, etc)

I would like to run some settings by you/everyone and see if I have this setup correctly.


In CTRaidTracker:

1. edit loot values in notes (we use HOB DKP for value determination)
2. set boss notes i.e. 1 for normal bosses, 2 for Rag/Onyxia/etc (I dont remember seeing this)
3. do /rt oldformat 0 (lets us track bosskills)


In DKPLP:

Input type: XML

Reward System: time and event based

Parsed times are in UTC: true

Parse Mode: join/leave, "approximate join/leave"

*Data entry: I assume I can import the string from CTRT (modded),
or copy the string and save it to a text file,
and name it something like..
<instance>.<date>.xml then import that later?

Zero-Sum: off

Pattern: World of Warcraft (CT RT oldformat 0, boss kills as events)

Event Format: change from "0|0|0|0|0|$1|$2|0" to "0|0|0|0|0|$1|$2|1"

Starting DKP: "DKP bonus per interval (from first):" = 1

Ending DKP: "DKP bonus per interval (from last):" = 1
(or use high participation bonus of 100, set reward to 1?)

Hourly DKP: "default DKP bonus per participant" = 1
and "Reward interval size option" = 60

And I wrote this down after "studying" the forums, but I forget what it does.

"default log grace period:" set to 30

EDIT: and..

Do I need the following for WoW?
What are the following for?
Under the "Server" button, "Uploads" tab?

..Day representation
..Reward interval representation
..Event representation
..Loot representation
..High participation bonus representation


Thank you again, you rock.

Lokorin,

thank you for the suggestions, DKP distribution is working properly!

I am having some issues with my EQDKP site tho..
I have /rt oldformat 0, and changed 'Event format' from "0|0|0|0|0|$1|$2|0" to "0|0|0|0|0|$1|$2|1"


Boss kills are not being updated on the following pages:

Zone progress plugin: supposed to be updated per each boss kill, but not being updated at all. i.e. boss kills should increment, boss shows up colored instead of grey, and banner colors itself accordingly

Raid progress plugin: supposed to be updated per each boss kill, but not being updated at all. i.e. boss kills should increment, slider bar moves from left to right, completed bosses/zones reads "COMPLETED'


Item drop information is not being updated on the following page:

Set Progress plugin: supposed to be updated per each Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 item received/looted by said member. i.e. someone received a "nightslayer belt" which is a tier 1 item, it's supposed to show their name on the left, and icon of the item on the right, and update as tier items drop/are received.

EDIT:

In DKPLP, under "participation" I have 80 entries, most look like a minute each, is that normal? People were getting disconnected frequently that night.


I created an account for you on our DKP site, info is in a private message (hope that's ok).

The above pages are updated when I use the 'CT Raid Tracker EQDKP plugin', and the 'RT Import plugin'

Curious if I have a setting wrong related to bosskills and/or loot? Or it's just not being parsed properly?

If I get this to work, I'm golden and will update the wiki for WoW DKP managers using the same stuff/method.

If you need our config and a string, let me know.

thank you

There a place I can check for boss names in DKPLP? Or does it purely take it from CT Raid Tracker?

Not sure if this means anything, but after I parse the string for the Molten Core instance, under "Events", it reads:

# Time Name Reward Note
1 8:45 Sulfuron Harbinger 1.0 $1: $2
2 8:59 Majordomo Executus 1.0 $1: $2
3 9:26 Ragnaros 1.0 $1: $2

The notes look odd? dunno if it's maybe a pattern issue.. *shrug*

I'm having trouble getting them to work, so I can't test them myself at the moment. From what I can gather the bossprogress one works by searching for raid names corresponding to configured values. My guess would be that the names entered in the configuration are different from the actual names used in some way.

You said that the raids entered by the CT RT plugin were recognized, so what raid names and notes were used by it?

Bossprogress (aka Zoneprogress) is working, I adjusted the boss names in the administration panel of EQDKP for this plugin, and it works 90%, the first/last kill dates under each banner don't populate.

I'm going to do some testing, I'll post my results, then upload via the CT_Raid_Tracker plugin and post those results too.
