About Looter's Aid
Looter's Aid
Looter's Aid was designed specifically with the needs of our Guild in mind, but has expanded from that.
When using master looter in a raid, we use a -1 system to allocate the loot. If someone wins a loot item, they get a count of -1. If they have the highest roll for another item, but another player who is still on a count of 0 has the next highest roll, the 0 player wins the item and then goes on -1 - and so on.
What it does
Looter's Aid will only function within a raid if you are the master looter. When you loot a corpse that yields loot at or above the loot threshold, the Looter's Aid window will automatically pop up, presenting you with a number of options.
Main Features:
- Tracks player counts separately for main spec and off spec
- Issues a raid warning to announce the start of a roll
- Automatically tracks all rolls
- Ignores anyone trying to use /roll 100 100
- Issues a raid warning when multiple rolls are received from one player
- Shows player counts in the raid/chat/party window
- Allows manual adjustment of individual player counts
- Allocates a raid disenchanter (loot awarded to the disenchanter is not counted)
- Allows the master looter to switch to an alt mid raid without losing any data
- Responds to whispers from other players (!ms or !os) with their current count
- Optionally limit loot rolls to a 7 second window
- Highlights players inelligible to receive loot
- Displays available loot in the raid window
- 'Free For All' mode allows loot rolls with no penalties
- Keeps a record of what loot each players has received
- Can transfer its data to another user if the master looter is changed mid-raid
- Attempts to show the winning roller's existing gear
- Can be set to restrict rolls on class and/or guild rank
Data Broker
From v4.0.4.0 Looter's Aid includes Data Broker support. This provides one click access to the options screen as well as a right click menu giving access to features normally only availble whilst the interface is visible on screen.
NOTE: To see the Data Broker features, you will need to use a Data Broker Display addon, such as Bazooka, Button Bin, Fortress or Chocolate Bar.
Slash commands:
- /la change <player> <ms/os> <count> - Change a player's count
- /la close - Close the interface window
- /la counts - Open the players counts window
- /la dis <player> - Set the raid disenchanter
- /la forget <player> - Forget a player's roll
- /la help - Display help
- /la loot <chat/raid/party> - Display loot record in the specified window
- /la ms <chat/raid/party> - Show main spec counts
- /la os <chat/raid/party> - Show off spec counts
- /la reset - Reset all data
- /la rolls <chat/raid/party> - Show current/last rolls
- /la sync - Transfer data to the new master looter after a change
- /la winner <player> - Change the winner
What it doesn't do
- Looter's Aid cannot track multiple raids
- Existing master looter functionality is not disabled, it's still there if you need it
- If the winning roller's existing loot does not exist in your game's cache (because you haven't seen it in game since the last patch) then it may display as a ?

Fantastic addon, love it!. Any chance you can add the option to disable outgoing messages when we assign loot or disenchant etc? We tend to try and keep the raid channel spam to a minimum and don't really have much need to announce where the loot ends up.
One other feature that I would absolutely love is a 'loot to self' button, or the ability to set a banker and a button to send loot to that toon. In our raids BoE's and crafting mats are always looted to the ML.
Thanks for the great addon!
Edit: Posted a couple of tickets on this instead.
1. seeing as it tracks the person and the loot they receive from a given boss could you also track raid attendance by using the data thats already collected?
2. Also using collected data is there anyway you can pull up the loot in the gui? I tried to show our lock the 4 pieces of loot he has gotten and it spamed /s like no tomorrow and I had to actually go into the .LUA and grab the item links to see what he had gotten.
2a. On the loot log can you specify a single person , boss or night vs the entire log.
thanks in advance mate and as usual let me know if i can do anything to aid you.
.
1. Attendance tracking would be outside the scope of this addon I feel, as it was only ever designed to handle one raid at a time.
2a is certainly doable, I'll have a look at the for the next release.
It was designed to handle say multiple runs by the same group to the same raid id, but not multiple groups or multiple raid ids if that makes sense.
RNG still sucks, but everyone is happy and best of all no dkp no loot council no time wasted. it drops you roll you win or you dont and you move on.
when disenchanting, could you have it say: "Disenchanting [the items name]" instead of "dis"
Thanks
Version 4.0.4.3 will contain the correction. Thanks for taking the time to point it out.
1 - Is there any possibility to advertise all loots in group/raid chat at once?
2 - Also I wonder if there is any way to announce the winner of the loot in guild chat AND group/raid chat.
If these possibilities do not exist, it would be very difficult to implement them?
Thank you and congratulations for the addon!
