SlackerDKP :: A World of Warcraft Raiding Tool

SlackerDKP

SlackerDKP is a World of Warcraft AddOn designed to ease the administrative burden of using Nurfed DKP (NDKP) for Loot distribution within a WoW raiding guild. It is a WoW UI AddOn that automates the handful of necessary tasks involved in NDKP loot management.

Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

Important Notice

In July my guild disbanded and I discontinued development of SlackerDKP. The fine folks of Ordo Exodus picked up where I stopped, though, and have done some amazing things with the SlackerDKP code. Please visit their Ordo DKP Forums. It's the official second-generation of SlackerDKP and it's really great.

Features and Goals

SlackerDKP's primary goal in life is to reduce or eliminate the need for a raid Loot Monger to have to switch back and forth between the game and external tools during the course of a raid. It also attempts to minimize the post-raid administration and data entry requirements of the NDKP system. At a minimum, SlackerDKP attempts to automate the following tasks in the most effective way possible:

Manual Start/Finish attendance snapshots
"Boss Kill" attendance Snapshots
Optional meta "smart" attendance snapshots
Log of Loot disbursement
Automatic uploading of RAID data to the NDKP website
Use of NDKP by Macintosh gamers

These functions are automated through the use of a minimalistic in-game user interface AddOn:

Resources

Current release: Slacker_DKP-1.17.zip (03-Jul-2006)

Very preliminary documentation exists in the tarball. Please review the README file either in public CVS or from the tarball for installation instructions.

SlackerDKP development is done in a public CVS module which you can view online. Additionally, nightly build and periodic release tarballs can be downloaded from the slackerdkp distfiles.

Limitations/Feature Requests

Support for NDKP-style Alts

Recent Change History

1.17 (30-Jul-2006):

Aberration (my guild) has disbanded, so it's unlikely that I will be continuing to update this AddOn. If anyone would like to fork it or take over development, that might be a good idea. I'm happy to help however I can.

1.17 (3-Jul-2006):

Added a UI scaling function (/sdkp set scale <#>)
Temporarily disabled "unlisted alt" warnings until I can arrange a better way of handling that.

1.16 (27-Jun-2006):

Bugfix: Fixed error dialog that appeared when a person on the list made it into the raid.
Waiting list sends reminders to the top 3 players whenever the list changes.
Waiting list displays in red if raid has fewer than 40 players.

1.15 (23-Jun-2006):

You can now flag loot in-game as "disenchanted" and it will be ignored during import. This is a little less risky than just deleting the line entirely and leaves open the possibility of more flexible handling of DE'd loot in the future.
Corrected ItemInfo bug which caused errors when looting multiple-item drops.
