Native Roster DKP AddOn

by **Bajah** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 9:06 pm

The way my guild/alliance has done Zero Sum RKP (Raid Kill Points) is to assign values to every item. Take Nefarian for example. We assigned a 90 RKP value to any chest set item he drops.

The entire raid gains 90 RKP, split evenly among everyone. Since he always drops two chest pieces, that's 180 amongst everyone, not including any trinkets or rings he may have dropped.

So take your 40 people and divy 180 points amongst them. Everyone gets 4.5 points, even the people who will be 'buying' the item that dropped. (Our guild also awards RKP to people who showed up and were ready to go, but couldn't fit on the roster)

Now that the raid has made their RKP, everyone who wants it can pipe in that they'd be interested in the chest piece, usually through tells to whoever is handling loot (officers, etc) and whomever has the most amount of RKP will then pay the 90 RKP for said chest piece.

This way you have 180 points going in... and 180 points coming out. Remains balanced at 0.

Mathos this link I think will help you out more.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DKP_(point_system)

This explains Zero sum DKP and a couple others if you wish to implement them.

I just want the timed/boss kill one that you originally planned hehehehe

When available, can you release some info so I can start making some modifications to GetDKP to extract this info to be used with this mod in-game. Currently, I am running the GetDKP and the titan mods so that when a member rolls for an item drop in raid, the mod takes the roll and adds the dkp the member has to the roll to get the actual total roll for that person to determine the winner.

I am really looking forward to getting this up and running for our guild.

Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

I don't have much important to contribute, except to say that this addon looks beautiful and I can't wait for the release. Thanks for doing this...

yeah we use zero sum dkp as well, you can check out www.eqdkp.com
and maybe get some idea as to what we are talking about. I would really like to get to the point were i am using the roster program for dkp and the calendar.

Hey Mathos,

Looks good so far. I made the original native DKP system for the wow roster (at least as far as I know) back when the roster was at version 1.5. I do not play WoW anymore, but I still administrate my guilds website and they still use my old DKP system. I would love to get them updated with the most recent version of Roster and get your DKP system on there too.

Let me know if you want/need some help working on this. My everyday job is web programming with PHP, so I know what I am doing (most of the time). I'd love to help if there is anything I can do.

Posting so I can watch the topic...

However, I'm very excited to see this coming to life!!

I regret to say that I havent had much time on my hands lately to bring the addon to a beta state.
However, please keep posting comments and suggestions, as I havent closed the feature list yet.

I hope to get some work done after this week, as things have been quite hectic at work....

I will keep you posted!

It's awesome and I can't wait for it to be released... EQDKP hasn't been useful to my guild as it should

Would a paypal donation help this timeline?

by **Mathos** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 12:03 am

hehe, unless the paypal can pay my yearly salary on a yearly basis, I doubt it would shorten the timeline

But do not have fear, this baby will get a proper beta soonish and will be released after that phase.

as soon as I have a proper beta, this will be avail to the community, but will require some extra skills than the average most likely.

We have implemented a slightly modified Zero Sum DKP...

When we divide bid points per number of raiders, we consider 1 of them to be a reward pool.

You can take a look at our system here:

We use a .xls to make our calculations... http://www.ptwarriors.com/ficheiros/raid_dkp.xls
1 addon for this would be awesome!! :thumright:
