About MakeYourChoice

I've finally decided to release this addon I started in 2006 for my guild.

    Basically, MakeYourChoice enables (simulates) the GroupLoot mode, when your raid group is in MasterLoot mode.

    How?
    Well, when the master looter opens a corpse (if he activated the 'auto' mode in the addon, of course), it will 'send' the loot information to all raid members,
    and asks them if they want the loot or not. Players without MYC installed can make their choices whispering the master looter.
    Each player then have 4 choices for each loot, presented in a popup window just like the blizzard default one (movable!!): Need, Greed, SecondSpec or Pass.
    Player 'votes' are then sent back to the master looter along with the currently equipped item(s) in the same slot.
    The master looter will see a summary window, containing all votes for all loots and player equipped items for a quick compare. He then will have the possibility with a simple right-click,
    to assign the loot to any player.

    Other advanced features:
     - Automatically passes if you cannot equip the object (there is a command to override, just in case)
     - Automatically displays all possible objects in the case of set token or quest item: if a T8 token drops, it will display depending on your class the converted objects (say, paladin, you will see the heal/tank/dps object)
     - Automatically ignoring special objects like emblems
     - Possibility for the master looter to activate the "autogreen" option. When a raid member is specified with this option, all green objects will be automatically sent to this player
     - You can add custom filters to automatically ignore some objects: you are a paladin, you can equip cloth and leather, you can add a filter to ignore those
     - Guild officers can see the same summary window the Master looter see with a simple command (/myc show), to help him assign the loots

    This addon really helps raid leader in their loot attribution, it's faster and easier!!

    Use the in-game help to configure the addon (sorry no configuration-UI), type "/myc help"

    To enable the auto mode (when you open a corpse it will broadcast the loots), type "/myc auto". This value will be reinitialized when you log out.
    To enable the auto ML mode (automatically sets the "auto mode" for you when you become the master looter in a raid group), type "/myc automl". This value is saved accross game sessions.
 
    Note: In order for this addon to work best, all raid members must have it installed (but not mandatory). But the addon is very light and uses very little memory/cpu

Hope this addon helps, enjoy.

Kiki

    When user without the addon whispers the ML with the loot and their choice, it responds with "unknown loot".
    I looked through your code and found that when checking if the loot whispered back exists, you're using the variable "loot".
    When I changed it to the itemID variable the addon recognized the loot that was whispered.
    Just wanted you to know, or did I miss something?

    You are absolutely right, it's a copy/paste mistake, thanks for pointing that out.

    I'll soon release a wow 4.0 compatible version, including that fix.
  • #9
    New version released.
    It now supports "pick-up" players who don't have the addon installed.
    They must /whisper their choice to the master looter.

    Also added a new choice: Secondary Spec

    I just found this addon and I think that it will work well with my guild. Does it auto pass for the person if they already have the item (unique)?
  • #8
    No it does not, but that's a great idea for improvement!
  • #5
    what happens if a raid member doesn't have the addon installed? do they just not receive any notification, or does it announce something too?
  • #7
    They don't receive the loot option (no notifications).

    We have a simple rule in our guild, "no MYC no loot" :D

    Added this to the addon description (a very cool feature I forgot to mention): Possibility for the master looter to activate the "autogreen" option. When a raid member is specified with this option, all green objects will be automatically sent to this player

    And to answer davidoff, yes all players must have the addon installed.
    This addon has been designed to help guilds not pickup groups.
    The addon is very light and it won't be difficult to force guild members to install it, if you find it (like we do) very usefull
  • #2
    Is everyone in raid/party must has this addon installed to function properly?

    "How?

    Juste as said above ; of course both sides need this addon.
    It's not for pickup raiding... :)
