About MiniLoot

Very simple addon that reduces loot spam by replacing how messages are shown with a more minimalistic fashion.

Features
  • Filters - You can hide reputation, loot, honor, experience, money and currency+archaeology messages. You can hide all junk loot, or you can specify a minimum item quality that you or your party has to loot in order to show it, meaning you can hide all items that are common or lower, that your party loots, but show all items that you loot, and vice versa.
  • Roll - You can hide roll decisions, or specifically hide roll decisions only in LFR. You can also do this with the roll summary and even force the items that are rolled for to be shown as icons or plain text.
  • Timer - You can modify and specify the delays, how long the addon waits for looting to end, after combat ends, e.g. There is more information on this in-game.
  • Extra - One button click creates a loot frame (old school, you can keep it around in case you really need to check the normal log). Mouseover links show the tooltip without having to click. Show amount of items in your bags in addition to the looted item (ideal for farming). Color names by class.

So what really is this about?

You can specify where the messages are shown, what messages are ignored and completely hidden, you can show/hide roll decisions and summary, you can hide all gray items from showing at all, and you can tweak the throttle settings. In addition all quest starting items will have a distinct red border in the chat, so it's easy to see those quest items when leveling, especially if auto-loot is on and you don't pay attention!

Is there a catch?

Yes, unfortunately chances are that other languages are not working since I only play on the English client. There has been problems with Russian locale and I had to in addition to using global variables to handle extracting data from the loot messages, I had to swap positions of item names and player names.

The key point here is that if there are errors I do advice you do post these errors and your client language so I can try to work things out with your help.

I've personally tested the addon on enUS, enGB, ruRU, deDE locales. The rest are uncertain, probably works but some features may not -in any case you are aware of this small fact.

    I plan to fix a lot of these issues by replacing how chat messages are parsed, this should fix any issues regarding some events or items not being properly read or handled, so far it works fine on the English client but I am aware that other locales are having some difficulties.

    I can't give an exact timestamp when the updated version will be released, just stick with me and sorry for the inconvenience.

    *Edit* Just released 1.8.4 and trying out the new matching system. Awaiting feedback. :)

    MiniLoot in 5.1

    Sorry for my poor english, it's not my native, but I try to explain the best I can.

    First of all, I want to thank you for this great addon, really love it!

    Well, since the last update, when the account wide reputation perk (+100%) is enabled, I cannot see the reputation gain anymore. Might there be a conflict with any other (chat) addon (I am using Prat as well)? I have two different chat windows, when I turn on (the one without MiniLoot) the reputation, it is shown like usually, just the Blizz default message.

    It would be great to know, if there is a way to solve this little issue. Many thanks in advance!

    Try 1.8.4 and see if it still happens, as I am trying to fix these parsing issues. :)

    I have all of the options turned on in my chat settings, yet when I allow 'money' events, I don't see anything.  As well, the Klaxxi seem to not display their rep gain events.

    Unable to change options

    First, let me say I love this addon immensely and it's one of my core addons. With that being said, I really don't mind setting up the options again. There is a problem, though.

    When I go into the options to configure Miniloot everything is grayed out. I can't check boxes, change output frame or click the button to create a loot frame. No errors have come up in BugSack/BugGrabber. I don't have any other addons that change the way loot is handled and I use Chatter for chat frames. I'll try clearing the saved variables, but other than that I don't know what else to try or do.

    Edit:
    Oddly enough just reloading my UI  while having the interface options open solved the issue. Weird.

    It sounds like this is caused by some addon in the loading process, by default MiniLoot just waits for it to load itself and adds the options in the addon category, but I do use a library, so the issue may be in another addon or worse in the library itself.

    If you pastebin.com me a list of your addons I could check it out in further details, otherwise it's hard to pinpoint as it works for me, with or without any other addons running. Does it happen to you if you run only MiniLoot? Just make a level 1 in another realm and disable all addons except MiniLoot, you can if you like, slowly enable more and more addons and check until the options bug out, the last addons you enabled before the issue reappeared are probably the culprits. :)

    1.8.1 introduced a lot of internal changes, settings have reset to default and you have to re-configure the addon. The tooltips are still the old once, so gonna rephrase a lot of them and other languages have to help translate the phrases at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/miniloot/localization/ if they want native support in their own language. In any case, keep me updated on breaking changes, bugs, errors, so forth. I doubt it was a perfect transition and I haven't had enough time to test all the changes either.
