LootCount v1.20 (Changes since v1.16)

[added] Quest-item watch
[fix] Bug when setting plugin watch on plugin
[added] New plugin: Profession watch
[added] Spacers (check key bindings)

New in this release

- Quest-items

Read the section "Quest-items" below.

- Spacers

This is an empty slot that will not display anything, and it is to be used as a spacer between items if you feel like being tidy.
Spacers should be assigned to a shortcut key in the WoW keybindings for quick access. It is also accessible with the command "/lc div". When the available spaces becomes visible, just click where you want the spacers just as you would with a normal item.

- Plugin: Profession

This plugin is explained in the plugin-section below.

First-time install

LootCount is not visible the first time you install it. Show/hide LootCount by typing "/lc". This can also be assigned to a key in the native WoW key-binding options. LootCount will appear in the middle of your screen as an empty green frame. This frame can be moved by dragging it by the corners (and ONLY the corners). Place it somewhere and drop an item on it.

Adding more items

Drag a new item to the LootCount interface, and drop it on any of the newly created slots. Ot you can drop it on an existing item.

Removing item-watches

Double-click an item with the right mouse-button.

Accessing the menu

Right-click an edge of the center frame (not a corner), and the menu will appear.

Group/raid

If you are in a group with someone that also have LootCount, you can watch items as a total. The most common use for this feature is to grind rep-items together with a friend. Both can then drop the rep-item on LootCount, and you will then read a shared total for this item. Now - if you in addition to this want to monitor your items only, you can drop the same item one more time and switch on local-mode for that item-watch.
You can switch this off from the menu.

Usable items

If you place a usable item in LootCount, it will be displayed with a green border and will be activated by a single click. This is a handy space-saver for motes and certain enchanting reagents.

Quest-items

These are items needed to complete a quest that you are on. So, if you don't have any items for any of your quests, this watch will display a questionmark. Just select it from the menu, and click the slot where you want it. You can place as many as you want, as they will always display different items.

Goals

Right-click an item in the LootCount interface, and select "Set goal". Enter the number of items you need and press OK. The watch will now contain two numbers: One for the amount you have, and one for the number of items you still need.

Local-mode

If you for a single watch want it to count only items that you have on your current character, you may want to switch on local-mode. This would for example make sense with soulbound loot. Just right-click the watch and select "local".

Lock

To lock LootCount, open the menu and select "Lock". This will disable moving of the interface and deletion of watches. You will notice the center frame turns red when it is locked.

Layouts

Each character has its own layout. There are also two global layouts available from the LootCount menu. These are common for all characters within a server and faction. Upon selecting a global layout, the center frame turns blue.

Plug-ins

Plug-ins are selectable from the LootCount menu.
A few plug-ins comes bundled with LootCount:
- Repair
- Reputation kill-countdown
- Experience kill-countdown
- Profession level
Any plug-in can be individually switched on/off from the addon-menu at the character selection screen in WoW to conserve memory.

Bundled plug-ins:

- Repair

This plugin will show what the current cost for repair is, and the lowest durability of your worn items.

- Profession

This plugin can monitor your current level in a profession. It is made very simple (for my own use mostly), and will need to see a profession level-up message before it knows about your profession. A profession is selected by right-clicking the watch.

- Kill-countdown with XP and reputation

Ever wondered how many kills you need to level up, or how many kills you need to get to the next reputation level? If you have, LootCount will tell you. Just select the option (REP and/or XP) you need from the LootCount menu and click one of the empty slots that just appeared. If you chose XP, that is all there is to it. If you chose REP you will also need to select the faction you want to watch. You do this by opening the WoW reputation window (shortcut "U"), click the faction you want to watch, check the "View as experience bar" option.
The counter icon will contain two numbers. The bottom-right number will show an estimate based on the last mobs you have been killing, and the upper left will show you how many of the last mob you killed you will need to get to the next level.
If you choose to switch zone or mob-type, LootCount will adapt and tweak the estimate within a number of kills.

Special thanks to:

Faladrin for the initial code and idea for goal-functionality.
Belleboom for group/raid idea.

    Any way I can have it save what I'm tracking between logins?
    If I don't have the item in my bags, it automatically clears when I log back in.
  • #107
    So is there a way to scale the icons, I run at 2560x1600 and the icons are really small?

    I checked all the documentation but didn't find any way

    Cheers

    With that resolution you may want to set your own custom size. These can be set like this:
    "/lc size 0" - very very small
    "/lc size 1" - still quite small
    "/lc size 2" - a bit bigger
    and so on. You may want to try something like size 5. This should be quite close to the size of the normal actionbutton.

    With this done, you can bring up the menu (right-click the center-frame edge - not the corners) and find the settings for the text-size as well.
  • #109
    No... 5 is not the actionbutton size. My bad. About 3 should do it I think.
    You can also try the "/lc normal" command. That should - unless there are some other stuff messing it up - set the size the same as the actionbuttons. Valid options here are tiny, small, medium, normal and big. These are presets in WoW-units for 20, 25, 30, 37 and 45 respectively. 25 (size 1) should be the default.

    There is a known bug in the version for WoW4 that affects the pop-up window for entering goals. An update will be posted, but a couple of other things are in testing at the moment.
    This error should only affect the pop-up window.

    There is a work-around here: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=7021#comments
    The post is at "11-16-2010, 09:27 PM". If you do not want to do this by hand yourself, you will have to wait for the update when that is ready.

    For some reason, my curse client (v. 3) is still showing 1.21 as the most current version, not 1.50a. I can manually install to get around that but I thought I'd post anyway so it can be remedied for other users.

    Thanks to the author(s) for this addon; its really handy to keep track of which toon has what or what I've left in my bank.
  • #106
    Be sure to let the authors of the curse client know about this.

    Thank you for a truly awesome addon! Some pretty cumbersome stuff I do now have become a walk in the park =D
    Now to questions/requests:

    1. I was wondering if there is any way to "clear all goals"? I currently have a long list of items I track, when all are fullfilled, I am happy as bob but couldn't care less about the goals - they will be totally different the next time I use the addon.

    2. Is there any way to hide the humongous tooltips that hovers over each item and obscures the goalsetting menu? I use auctioneer which a tooltip the size of two screens ;)

    thank you!

    I was playing early, and added some items to this. Four different herbs, one to the left of the main one, one above it, and on to the left and up one. When I logged back in only the one in the middle loaded and the others are still filled but blank. What I mean by this is that when I try to drag and drop something in the outer empty boxes show up but the ones that had the items in it from earlier aren't showing up at all, like they're there but completely not visible.
  • #101
    changing the size with /lc normal then back to /lc small got them to show up
  • #102
    Hmm... Haven't had that problem yet, but I'll see if I can reproduce that somehow.
  • #99
    Updates will be a bit slow for a bit now. The reason is that I am working on a very big project at the moment (a lot bigger than my DuckieBank project, probably equalling QuestHelper pretty much). This takes a lot of my time, and inbetween I also need to do some work that also brings money...
    That's just the way of the world.

    Updates on the new project will come eventually.

    This has got to be my favorite addon! Sad to see with latest patch 3.1.0, this addon no longer functions. Hope to see this updated soon. Great job with the past versions!
