BiS Gamba

A shared high/low gold gambling table for raid nights, in the BiS UI theme. World of Warcraft TBC Classic Anniversary (Interface 20506).

/gamba opens the window. /gamba help lists every command.

A round

1. Type the roll range in the box (100, 200, 310, whatever) and hit start. The addon posts the game, the range and the stakes in raid (or party / say): "BiS Gamba: HIGH vs LOW - /roll 100, lowest pays the highest the difference - up to 99g. Type 1 to join, -1 to leave." On a flat table (/gamba flat) that reads "lowest pays the highest 100g flat".
2. People join by typing 1 (or -1 to back out) in chat - no addon needed. Addon users can use the join button instead. They appear at the table as portraits: their class icon (2D) or a race/sex stand-in (3D) when out of range, the real character when close.
3. last call posts a ten-second warning and counts down on the host's own portrait; when it runs out the rolls start by themselves. start now skips the wait. Either way the addon posts "2 in, table closed. HIGH vs LOW - /roll 100 now!".
4. The table shuts the moment rolls are called. Nobody joins after seeing a roll land, nobody walks out of a round they are losing, and anybody who was called to roll and doesn't forfeits. roll rolls the right range for you - it only lights up once rolls are called, and only the first roll counts.
5. When everyone has rolled the round settles after a three-second grace; end settles now with whoever rolled. Highest wins, lowest pays the difference. Ties re-roll among the tied; if everyone rolls the same number there is nothing to pay, so the whole table rerolls.
6. The winner cheers, the loser cries, everyone in between kneels, shrugs or flexes by how close they came to paying.

One window for everyone

Host and player see the same buttons in the same places - what you may not do is greyed out, never hidden or moved. A player has join/roll live and the wager box, start, last call and end greyed beside them; the host has them all. The host can leave the table and still run the game. Once a round is finished anyone can hit start to host the next one - hosting, and the crown above the portrait, move to them.

Two views, 2d class portraits and 3d models, share one fixed grid, so switching never moves or resizes anything (/gamba view). The window hides itself when you enter combat and comes back when you leave (/gamba combat). The footer switches: never open anything (nothing appears on its own - no window when a game starts, none back after combat, no pop-ups from other people), sound, and open when a game starts.

Who owes who

Every result goes to a ledger that survives logout and nets debts between the same two people. Under each portrait: owes 160g / to Gnomer, gets 95g. debts opens the full list with a paid button per line.

pay (which shows what you owe) opens a trade with the next person you owe and waits a beat in case they open it first. Once they accept, a panel appears beside the trade window with the amount in a copy box - already selected, so it is Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V into the gold field - and whispers them the balance if they are not running the addon. No addon can fill that gold box directly on this client: Blizzard blocks the money call, tainting the edit boxes throws, and PickupPlayerMoney is protected, which is why Gargul can't do it either. When the trade completes the ledger settles itself - both directions, partial payments included - and only the person who was owed announces it, so nobody can clear a debt they owe by fibbing.

Leaderboard

leaderboard shows the biggest all-time winners and losers with win-loss records. At the table the all-time winner wears a gold aura, the biggest loser burns, and the host wears a crown.

The board is built from a shared ledger of settled rounds, each stamped with a host id, so two people who saw different rounds trade ids and fill each other's gaps - by itself when the window opens, or on sync. A brand-new guildie can take somebody's whole ledger with the sync button that appears beside whoever holds the most (/gamba adopt); it is a restore, not a merge, and nothing of yours is touched until their whole ledger has arrived.

Each round is stamped with the guild it was played in, and the board shows guild rounds only by default, so a guildie's bad night in a pug can't drag the guild's board down. The button at the top of the panel switches guild-only / everyone (/gamba scope). reset all wipes the board for the whole group - each person confirms on their own machine, and debts are kept.

Sound

Short motifs mark last call, your turn to roll, a tie, winning, losing and payouts. They are built from the Un'Goro Simon-game tones, with sound-kit IDs as a fallback that always plays. Never the raid-warning sound. On the effects channel by default. /gamba sound toggles; sound test plays every cue, sound probe shows what each settled on, sound kit <id> auditions any kit ID, sound master moves them up if they get lost.

Fair play and safety

Addon messages are only heard from people in your group, never whispers from strangers. A result is only believed for a round this client actually watched, with both rolls seen and an amount that follows from them - a crafted result is refused. Only the creditor can mark a debt paid. Unsolicited, future-dated or oversized rounds are refused, so the ledger can't be poisoned or flooded. A disconnected host's table is released so the next person can deal.

Development

lua5.1 dev/harness.lua from the addon folder runs 311 headless checks over rounds, ties, forfeits, the countdown, sync, the ledger, guild scoping, the trade payout and every slash command. luacheck BiSGamba.lua is clean. The dev/ folder is not shipped in the release zip.
