This is a customized version of Quick DKP with added support for EPGP (Effort Point / Gear Point). This version has taken the latest version of Quick DKP and made it work for the EPGP system. I have also changed some of the GUI to better represent EPGP.
It has been a while since I have played with a mod so if something is not working I apologize in advance.
Added GP values to tooltip. Thanks to the author of the epgp mod for this.
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

oliverography saidThe GP values in the tooltips is only showing up for some people. It seems to have a dependency on random mods. For me it only shows up when I have Grid enabled, for someone else it's only when they have ArcHUD enabled. I don't know what the correlation is though.

Splitusa saidI have a question on how to reset the mod. I was testing it out to see if its the mod I would like to use for my guild. well it just so happens to be the best DKP mod i have tried and wanted to reset the mod back to it default settings. i tried to delete the mod and re DL it but its still the same data as before. So what else do i need to delete an order to have a fresh start?

Repent saidIf you clicked on the "Send Changes" button the values for each member will be stored in the officer notes. You need to delete the data from your WTF folders.
Go to your WoW main dir. Change directories to WTF\Account\<Account Name>\SavedVariables. Delete the QDKP_V2.lua file. Also go to WTF\Account\<Account Name>\SavedVariables\<Server Name>\<Character Name>. Delete the QDKP_V2.lua file. When you login you should now have 0 EP and GP for everyone. Make sure you click on "Send Changes" to update the officer notes.
If this does not work, let me know.
