NRT - Nihilum Raid Tracker

[rabbit]

Greetings,

I've just uploaded NRT on my own little webspace here; It's that season again.
Direct download link: http://files.wowace.com/NRT/NRT.zip

I've stopped making releases like before, you'll just have to check every so often whether or not it has been updated, or use a wowace.com updater application to update it when it has changed.

I'm eager to hear any feature suggestions, bug reports or general commentary on NRT, as I'm seeking to improve it currently.

If you've seen Nihilums recent videos, you've seen how most of it works already; when a boss dies, you get a popup asking if you want to take raid attendance now - doing so creates a new table of all the members in your raid + people that whisper you with their mains name (who must be in the guild), and presents it to you in a copy-able text box so you can easily export it to your web DKP system.

It also tracks all epic+ quality items that are looted, when they were looted, who looted them and what mob they were looted from.

Please post any bug reports or suggestions as responses to this thread or on the wowace.com forums.

Thanks,
Rabbit.

Sounds good - I'll get our GM to test it out in our next few raids and see if I can get you some screeners.

Cheers.

Hey rabbit.
Ive been using NRT for a while now and Im very pleased with it! Makes life nice and easy.
One request
How hard would it be to code that non-guild members could be added during the whispering phase.
It would be very useful for interguild raiding communitys such as my own, as atm Im adding the names manually for those that get the "Not in guild" Reply.

I like this addon, but i still miss an XML exporter for raid attendances.. Do yo plan to make one or leave a plugin interface to make it?

Clinch, that would be nice, need some screens to show off on the site.

Bluetail, I just added a whitelist capability, where you can add any players you want, look for it in the next release.

dranor, where could I find information/DTD/schemas for the XML format?

Hello, i've been using this addon for a while now for our guild and it's quite nice, however there are a few things i'd love to have fixed/added if possible, here you go:

- Fix the minimap icon, once you hide it, you can't make it appear again unless reinstall/going to the .lua and manually edit it (annoying ). A slash command would fix it i guess

- A version in the filename or in a readme would be cool, so we know what's the latest and such, bit confusing atm

- Data String as ppl asked. You could either take the eqdkp format or do another one, doing parsers once it's in xml are easy and theres loads of ways/codes in the net. An example of an useful format could be something like this (it's really really basic):

<raid>
<date>RaidDate</date>
<boss = "BossName">
<attendees>Player1<br>Player2<br>...<br></attendees>
<item><id>idItem</id><looter>ItemLooter</looter><quality>epic/blue/etc</quality></item>
<item><id>idItem2</id><looter>ItemLooter2</looter><quality>epic/blue/etc</quality></item>
...
<item><id>idItemN</id><looter>ItemLooterN</looter><quality>epic/blue/etc</quality></item>
</boss>
<boss = "BossName2"></boss>
<boss = "BossName3"></boss>
...
<boss = "BossNameN"></boss>
</raid>

It can be ofc made a lot more detailed adding key values, ids and stuff, imo the simpler the better. If you cba you can always use the eqdkp format which looks something like this (i didn't copy because it's huge):

Example of eqDKP String

(Not sure if this is already done) For it to work properly, as you know, you will need to make it wrap items looted on the same day and range of hours (i.e. from 12:00am till 5am) so they are assigned to the same raid. That way raids that end the next day but in the early hours (1am-5am) don't have problems with items being assigned to the next's day raid.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work, it's a great addon

Wow, that is a lot of data indeed. I don't think I'll be making an output formatter that supports the XML linked at CTRA Parsing Error? - forums.eqdkp.com. I'll be making an XML output formatter based on the example you provided, and I've already fixed your other suggestions.

Nothing new uploaded yet, though, I'll update the first post when I do.

Edited:

2 new things:

- Theres a problem with NRT and Kael'thas fight, it tracks all the legendary items (fight items only). Is it possible to either make it not tracking in-combat kaelthas legendary items or just filter them?

- Sometimes (not sure why) when someone outside the raid whispers me to get added, i reply him twice with either he is not in the guild (they whisper stupid names ) or with added to att list, but twice, is it possible to fix?

Thanks in advance

You can also check both mldkp and eqdkp forums, but i don't think that you're going to find some kind of DTD/Schema
