An addon designed to handle your guild's EPGP standings by storing the respective values in your Officer Notes. Another primary function of the addon is to handle loot moderation which you must be the master looter to utilise.
For this addon to work, anyone using the addon must be able to at the very least view Officer Notes. To adjust EP and GP values you must be able to edit Officer Notes.
The addon is entirely GUI based and the frame is designed to only appear automatically on raid bosses.
Functionality:
- Either /cepgp or /cep can be used
- show - Shows the cepgp window
- version - Allows you to check if each raid member is running the addon - and if so, what version of the addon they are using
Note: cepgp is a context sensitive addon and elements will be visible when they are relevent
Any function that involves modifying EPGP standings requires you to be able to edit officer notes to have it available to you.
The following commands can be used to get EPGP reports.
The player you whisper must be able to at least view officer notes
- /w player !info - Gets your current EPGP standings
- /w player !infoguild - Gets your current EPGP standings and PR rank within your guild
- /w player !inforaid - Gets your current EPGP standings and PR rank within the raid
- /w player !infoclass - Gets your current EPGP standing s and PR rank among your class within the raid
Definitions:
- EP: Effort points. Points gained from what ever criteria.
- GP: Gear points. Points gained from being awarded gear.
- PR: Priority. Calculated by EP / GP.
- Decay: Reduces the EP and GP of every guild member by a given percent.
- Initial/Minimum GP: The GP that all new guild members start at. This also defines the minimum amount of GP any guild member can have.
- Standby EP: EP awarded to guild members that are not in the raid.
- Standby EP Percent: The percent of standard EP allocation should awarded to standby members.
unfortunately the delay remained in the new version too, after a few throws
Just wanna say that the beta and final 1.13.7 finally fixed the horrible lag for me. Good job mate!
In reply to reitmeierbf:
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it's finally fixed :D
I used 1.13.7 in naxx last night, and the lag issues were gone (I did find with the last version i could reload the ui after each boss to stop the lag)
But, when I would go to distribute loot the rest of the raid would not get the popup at all, or it would be delayed and my loot window would close when it did popup for them. It took me 5-10 attempts per piece of loot to have it work. Luckily we just did Sapph and KT.
At this point i would rather the last version, and just reload my UI every time i loot.
In reply to altvistauwo:
Thanks for the feedback. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me because I didn't actually make any changes in how CEPGP communicates with other players between 1.13.6 and 1.13.7.
What you're experiencing is message throttling and it's not something I've been able to fully work around. CEPGP will try to resend any failed messages as soon as it can but unfortunately this is a system that was implemented by Blizzard and it's not something that can be circumvented. At least not to my knowledge.
In reply to Alumian:
Last night was the first time that happened, it is most likely that other raid members were running 1.13.6, it could be the version difference messages hitting the limit? Or maybe point two below:
Two other notes that i have had recently.
1.) If a guild member with a linked alt removes the "main" character from the guild, and the alt remains, any bulk transaction (i.e when i award EP to the raid or do decay) it crashes when it gets to that character (i assume) and gives a message about a null value. This causes a partially complete process but gives no record of who the transaction was successful on and who was excluded. I think you might need to catch the null and just skip the record instead of stopping the process if possible.
2.) If a raid member leaves the raid before loot is done (i.e swapping chars or bench) I get spammed with lots of messages saying that character can not be found. I think the addon is flooding messages to the missing raid member.
A possible fix for the game freezes has been implemented. If you're experiencing this issue, could you please consider testing the beta version (available here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/cepgp/files/3217077) and let me know if it resolves the issue? Your feedback is very much appreciated.
In reply to Alumian:
I have installed the patch and will test it in raid later.
In reply to Alumian:
I have now looted Patchwerk, with no issues. Great work.
In reply to Alumian:
Last raid it worked properly without lagging out and getting booted, so big improvement.
In reply to opheophe:
Awesome. Thanks heaps for the feedback guys!
Just to confirm that in our raids on the EU Nethergard Keep server we are experiencing these same lag issues since the last update. This is happening across different people using completely different addon setups and using none except CEPGP.
Can confirm the massive lag. My screens freezes for like 2min and it gets worser the more loot I announce. Even had a crash cause of this and also those lags when I am picking up runes, scraps, etc.
Atm it gets worser every update. I hope you can fix this awesome addon soon mate
In reply to reitmeierbf:
Thanks for the feedback! Could you please try disabling everything under distribution visibility (under the loot distribution menu) and let me know if that fixes the issue?
In reply to reitmeierbf:
I am experiencing extreme lag spikes as well as masterlooter. Last raid I got booted from the game perhaps 8 times
I have been made aware of the issue in 1.13.6 where the client experiences lag spikes during loot distribution. I'm currently investigating.
In reply to Alumian:
Not sure if it's any help but the first loot distribution after doing /reload ui usually ran smoothly, then it just got more and more laggy till the point where I got kicked out from the client and had to log back in.
In reply to N0ph0s:
Thanks for the feedback :)
What issues are you seeing with the token drops?
In reply to Alumian:
Im PM so my window is randomly closing and the window doesnt popup for the rest of the raid or hugely delayed. but only for token drops. every other issue we had with the preceding versions is basicly gone :)
