HeadCount2 has been released. Making a forum thread for it specifically.

Thanks Kagaro for updating this mod. I like this mod a lot and it is great for keeping loot management simple. I like the changes done to it. Yesterday I got to use it on the new PVP raid instance but I noticed the mouseover loot info details weren't there but just a "click to link" message. Would it be possible to implement the mouseover tooltip again? It is pretty handy when one makes a mistake or needs to update an item if it was for main spec or off spec and so on. Once again great job and thanks again!

mouse over the loot management button it give the details

Thanks, but no that is not what I'm asking.

I would like to see the item's tooltip in the loot list ie the stats of the item not just who got it, when and from which boss but also the type of item with out having to link it. The linking functionality is nice but it used to have a mouseover ability that allowed one to see the item's tooltip with name and its stats.

Thanks

umm i thought that was from mousing over the management icon at the end of the row. otherwise ill see about change it.

With the old Headcount, I could /reloadui to at least save the current raid data to that point and continue on, it now seems that when this happens a new raid is created. Previously I could even be disconnected from the server (not crash) and log back in without problems. Is there now a shorter tolerance for this, a reload doesn't take too long?

reload shouldnt make a new raid it maybe a timing issue however my guild is going to start raiding again this week so i can test it some more.

i think i got it fixed, grab teh latest alpha

Is there a way to manually add loot to a raid like the "/hc add loot xxxx" command with the old Headcount?

Yes, it's in the interface options and it's a little better I think, works nicely. It gives you a line to enter in the info, and mouseover tooltip gives you the format.

As an additional feature request, for the loot dialog box, not sure if it's possible but once you Ok, the value/cost, could 'Enter' (button) then Save and close the window? Right now it's manual click save. Not sure if you can change button focus?

Boss list seems limited (haven't looked at code) but only a few are recognized sources. I assume these are still a hardcoded list.

Loot announce doesn't seem to be working at all. Also I don't think excluding battlegrounds raid recording works either.

boss list comes from lib babble boss now, the internal list is for special case bosses.

Pneumatus: fixed

Is there a way to queue loot, meaning if the loot dialog box is open and the next item is looted right now that second item is lost and needs to be manually entered.

I can make it open multiple boxes if that helps, usually i was doing loot in my own raids so i only gave out items after i had finished adjusting.

Yeah me too, normally it's fine, just happened to run across this last night though. Thanks for the consideration!

Also currently the loot broadcast works, but the whole string seems a bit much, do we need "HeadCount2:" etc? Or is that just for debugging?

ill change it later to remove the HeadCount part i was just reusing a string that was alredy setup

I installed this for the first time last night before our second night of raiding this week.

It did not record any boss names (or kills) even though we took down Valiona and Theralion in BoT and Artramedes in BWD.

The raid was properly recorded for attendance and time and loot that dropped off the bosses was recorded but reported as being dropped by Trash. The trash epic that did drop for us was also recorded and (correctly) reported being dropped by Trash.

There were no errors (either lua or chatmsg). Installed version is 1.0.4.

I don't see anyone else yelling about this issue and I see that you are using a raid lockout event to fire so I'm wondering if it's possible that this happened because I already had those two raid locks before installing the mod?

We won't be raiding again until Tuesday and we are locked to all three raids, so I'm unable to test anything until next week.

That will be nice. Also, do you think it is possible to add custom channels to broadcast loot?

Thanks

NavyFC it might be a local issue as well. I havent see what those bosses are called inteh raid lockout itself and if they are elite or boss mobs to verify
