184 Boss wipe/kill entries are entirely dependant on Deadly Boss Mods being enabled and
|
farmbuyer@1
|
185 up-to-date. The typical sequence of events for our usual raids goes like this:
|
farmbuyer@1
|
186
|
farmbuyer@1
|
187 We make four or five attempts on Baron Steamroller. As DBM registers that combat
|
farmbuyer@1
|
188 ends, a <wipe> event is entered on the loot display along with the duration of the
|
farmbuyer@1
|
189 fight. If the loot display is opened, the wipes will be visible with a light gray
|
farmbuyer@1
|
190 background.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
191
|
farmbuyer@47
|
192 After reminding the melee dps to move out of fire, we manage to kill
|
farmbuyer@1
|
193 Steamroller. When DBM registers the win, a <kill> event is entered on the display
|
farmbuyer@1
|
194 with a dark gray background.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
195 All previous <wipe>s are removed and collapsed into the <kill> event. The final
|
farmbuyer@1
|
196 <kill> event shows the duration of the successful fight and the number of attempts
|
farmbuyer@47
|
197 needed (or "one-shot" if we're competent).
|
farmbuyer@1
|
198
|
farmbuyer@1
|
199 Sometimes this goes wrong, when DBM misses its own triggers. If DBM does not catch
|
farmbuyer@1
|
200 the start of the boss fight, it can't register the end, so nothing at all is
|
farmbuyer@1
|
201 recorded. If the fight was a win but DBM does not catch the victory conditions,
|
farmbuyer@1
|
202 then DBM will (after several seconds) decide that it was a wipe instead. And
|
farmbuyer@1
|
203 sometimes useful loot will drop from trash mobs, which DBM knows nothing about.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
204
|
farmbuyer@1
|
205 For all those reasons, right-clicking on a "boss row" will display options for
|
farmbuyer@1
|
206 +Insert new boss kill event>, and for toggling a <wipe> into a <kill>. We often
|
farmbuyer@1
|
207 insert bosses named "trash" to break up the display and correct the forum markup

farmbuyer@1

212 The first button underneath +Main> in the right-hand column displays the current

farmbuyer@1

213 status of the addon. If it is disabled, then no recording, rebroadcasting, or
|
farmbuyer@1
|
214 listening for rebroadcasts is performed. Any loot already recorded will be restored
|
farmbuyer@1
|
215 across login sessions no matter the status.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
216
|
farmbuyer@1
|
217 You can turn on tracking/broadcasting before joining a raid. If you join a raid
|
farmbuyer@47
|
218 and the addon has not been turned on, then a popup dialog will ask for
|
farmbuyer@1
|
219 instructions. (This can be turned off in the advanced <Options>.)
|
farmbuyer@1
|
220
|
farmbuyer@1
|
221 The addon tries to be smart about logging on during a raid (due to a disconnect or
|
farmbuyer@1
|
222 relog). If you log in, are already in a raid group, and loot has already been
|
farmbuyer@16
|
223 stored from tracking, it will re-enable itself automatically.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
224
|
farmbuyer@1
|
225 The intent of the addon design is that, after the end of a raid, all the generated
|
farmbuyer@1
|
226 markup text is done, optionally saved (see "Generated Texts - Saved Texts"), and
|
farmbuyer@1
|
227 then cleared from
|
farmbuyer@1
|
228 storage altogether. As a result, if you login with restored loot information but
|
farmbuyer@1
|
229 are not in a raid, the addon will do nothing on its own -- but will assume that
|
farmbuyer@1
|
230 you've forgotten to finish those steps and will yammer about it in the chat window

231 as a reminder.

238 Full tracking records all loot events that fulfill these criteria:
|
farmbuyer@1
|
239
|
farmbuyer@1
|
240 1) The loot quality is equal to or better than what you have selected in the
|
farmbuyer@1
|
241 +Threshold> drop-down.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
242
|
farmbuyer@47
|
243 2) The loot is not in the list of items to filter out (see the <Options> tab).
|
farmbuyer@47
|
244 These are things like shards from disenchanting and Darkmoon Faire quest items.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
245
|
farmbuyer@1
|
246 3) <You can see the loot event.> More precisely, you need to be close enough
|
farmbuyer@1
|
247 to the recipient of the loot to be able to see "So-And-So receives loot: [Stuff]"
|
farmbuyer@1
|
248 in your chat window, even if you have those actual loot messages turned off.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
249
|
farmbuyer@1
|
250 It is (3) that causes complications. A master looter can assign loot to anybody
|
farmbuyer@1
|
251 anywhere in a raid instance, but the range on detecting loot events is much
|
farmbuyer@1
|
252 smaller. If your raid does not use master looting then you merely need to be
|
farmbuyer@1
|
253 close enough to the boss corpse, presuming that the winners will need to walk
|
farmbuyer@1
|
254 over to get their phat epix.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
255
|
farmbuyer@1
|
256 If you do use master looter, then you have two options: first, you can
|
farmbuyer@1
|
257 require players
|
farmbuyer@1
|
258 who might get loot to stay near the boss. You would then also need to stay near
|
farmbuyer@1
|
259 the boss to detect the loot event. (This can be less hassle if you are also
|
farmbuyer@1
|
260 the loot master.) The downside is that other players moving on to fight to the
|
farmbuyer@1
|
261 next boss are doing so without the help of their teammates.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
262
|
farmbuyer@1
|
263 The other option is to ask other players to also install Ouro Loot, and for
|
farmbuyer@1
|
264 them to turn on the "Rebroadcasting" feature. Any loot events which they can
|
farmbuyer@1
|
265 see will be communicated to you. Then it only becomes necessary for at least
|
farmbuyer@1
|
266 one person to be close enough to the loot recipient to see the item awarded,
|
farmbuyer@47
|
267 and you will record it no matter how far away you are -- even back in Orgrimmar.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
268
|
farmbuyer@1
|
269 If you have Full Tracking enabled, then you are also automatically rebroadcasting.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
270 Having more than one player with Full Tracking turned on is probably a good
|
farmbuyer@1
|
271 idea, in case one of the trackers experiences a game crash or is suddenly kidnapped
|
farmbuyer@1

272 by robot ninja monkeys.

308 The <Forum Markup> tab creates text as used by the guild forums for Ouroboros

309 of US-Kilrogg. By default this is fairly standard BBcode. The format of the

farmbuyer@1

310 individual loot items can be adjusted via the dropdown menu on the lower right
|
farmbuyer@1
|
311 of the tab.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
312
|
farmbuyer@1
|
313 The [url] choice defaults to using Wowhead. If you have the [item] extension
|
farmbuyer@1
|
314 for your BBcode installed, you can use either of those choices too. The "by ID"
|
farmbuyer@16
|
315 variant is good for heroic raid items that share names with nonheroic items,
|
farmbuyer@16
|
316 but the raw output is harder to read in the text tab.

farmbuyer@1

317
|
farmbuyer@1

318 You can also specify a custom string. Formatting is done with these replacements:

329 Pro tip #1: if something has happened on the main <Loot> tab which cannot be
|
farmbuyer@1
|
330 changed directly but would generate incorrect text, you can click this tab to
|
farmbuyer@1
|
331 generate the text right away. Then edit/move the text as needed. When you
|
farmbuyer@1
|
332 close the display or click back on the <Loot> tab, your edited text will be
|
farmbuyer@1
|
333 preserved for later.

335 Pro tip #2: Barring situations like pro tip #1, this addon author typically

|

342 on a per-boss basis. Players who are probably inside the raid are grouped

farmbuyer@56

343 under [:PLUS:], and the remaining players are under [-]. "Probably inside" is an
|
farmbuyer@56
|
344 assumption that groups 1 and 2 are raiding in a 10-player instance, groups 1-5

farmbuyer@56
|
345 are raiding in a 25-player instance, and so forth.

370 The <History> tab maintains a list of all loot. It is intended to help answer

farmbuyer@7

371 questions such as "When was the last time PlayerX won something?" and "How much stuff
|
farmbuyer@7
|
372 has PlayerY gotten lately?" The history tab is, by design, not as configurable
|
farmbuyer@25

373 as the main <Loot> tab; entries cannot be manually edited and so forth.
|
farmbuyer@7
|
374
|
farmbuyer@25
|
375 This loot history is the only "live" data tab which persists across the +Clear Loot> command.
|
farmbuyer@7
|
376 For this reason, very little information is stored: only the recipient, the item,

377 and a textual timestamp. Boss names, offspecs, and other notes are not preserved.

378

379 The default history window shows the most recent item received by each person. It

farmbuyer@7

380 is sorted with the most recent loot at the top, towards older loot at the bottom.
|
farmbuyer@7

381 You can click the column headers to rearrange the rows, but doing so repeatedly can

farmbuyer@7

382 lead to odd display issues.

383
|
farmbuyer@7

384 Left-clicking a row will change the window to display all recorded loot for that
|
farmbuyer@25

385 player. While on that display, right-clicking any row will return to showing the
|
farmbuyer@25
|
386 most recent single item for all players.
|
farmbuyer@7
|
387
|
farmbuyer@7
|
388 Histories are maintained per-realm. This refers to the realm you are on when the
|
farmbuyer@7
|
389 loot drops, not the realm of the player receiving it (in the case of cross-realm
|
farmbuyer@7
|
390 groups). If you play multiple characters on the same realm, history will accumulate
|
farmbuyer@7
|
391 across all your raids. To change the displayed realm, use the dropdown menu in

farmbuyer@7

392 the lower right corner.
|
farmbuyer@7

393

farmbuyer@7

394 The +Regenerate> button permanently erases the history of the displayed realm, and
|
farmbuyer@7
|
395 creates fresh entries using whatever loot information is currently on the <Loot> tab.
|
farmbuyer@7
|
396 Be aware that the <Loot> tab does not track realms, so if you have gathered data
|
farmbuyer@7
|
397 for players on realm A, but are displaying realm B when you click the Regenerate button,
|
farmbuyer@7

398 then your history for realm B will be... very odd.

farmbuyer@7

400 +Clear Realm History> and +Clear ALL History> are used to periodically wipe the

farmbuyer@7

402
|
farmbuyer@76
|
403 +Clear Older> deletes history information older than a certain threshold (by

farmbuyer@76

404 default, 5 loot events). It is another good periodic maintenance step, but
|
farmbuyer@76
|
405 does not discard as much data as the other actions.
|
farmbuyer@7

406
|
farmbuyer@25
|
407 Using +Reassign to...> will also move the item between player histories. The timestamp

farmbuyer@25

408 will not be changed; it will "always have been" received by the new recipient.
|
farmbuyer@25
|
409
|
farmbuyer@25
|
410 Using +Mark as disenchanted> or +Mark as guild vault> will remove the item from

farmbuyer@25

411 history altogether. Remarking such an item as +normal> or +offspec> will replace

412 the item back into the player's history.

farmbuyer@7

416 simply not in your local game cache. WoW will automatically retrieve the missing

417 data after several seconds, but the display will not update until the next time

418 the History tab is shown. Starting in WoW 4.0, the local game cache is not preserved

farmbuyer@1

539 the loot list is restored), then OL assumes it's from the current raid and should
|
farmbuyer@1
|
540 reactivate automatically in full tracking mode. If you were tracking but no
|
farmbuyer@1
|
541 loot had dropped yet (and therefore there was nothing *to* restore), then OL
|
farmbuyer@1
|
542 will pop up its reminder and ask again. Either way, if you were only broadcasting
|
farmbuyer@1
|
543 then OL will *not* go back to only broadcasting. This is probably a bug.
|
farmbuyer@1

544
|
farmbuyer@1

545 The saved texts feature does exactly that: only saves the generated texts, not
|

546 the full loot list. Restoring will get you a blank first tab and whatever you

farmbuyer@1
|
547 previously had in the various generated text tabs.
|
farmbuyer@1
|
548
|
farmbuyer@47

549 The generated forum text tries to only list the name of the instance if it has
|
farmbuyer@47
|
550 not already been listed, or if it is different than the instance of the previous
|
farmbuyer@1
|
551 boss. If you relog, the "last printed instance name" will be forgotten, and
|
farmbuyer@1
|
552 you'll see redundant raid instance names appearing in the text.

553

farmbuyer@1

554 After a boss wipe, multiple broadcasting players releasing spirit more than
|
farmbuyer@1

555 several seconds apart can cause spurious "wipe" entries (of zero duration) on
|

|
556 the loot grid. The surefire way to avoid this is to not release spirit until
|
farmbuyer@1

557 DBM announces the wipe, but the problem isn't serious enough to really worry

562 raid with one guild, this can result in some amusing statistics ("kill
