MonDKP is a DKP and raid management system written with intent to track all aspects of DKP and looting within WoW. Every member of the guild can have it and have full access to real-time DKP values as well as loot and DKP history. This is my first official go at writting an addon despite 15 years of playing the game. So if any bugs or errors show their face, please let me know. Any suggestions or requests are also welcome! You can submit bugs at https://github.com/Roeshambo/MonolithDKP/issues.
Alternative Use: Even if you don't use DKP, you can easily use this to manage and track your raids. Simply set boss kill DKP to 1, and item costs to 0. This will help you track how many bosses each player in your guild has killed as well as keep track of their attendance and loot received. More tools to assist raid leaders are constantly being added.
Release Notes: I've rolled back the broadcast system and wrote something that is a bit less complicated to help correct issues caused by 2.0.x. The broadcast system works essentially the same way as it did in 1.6 and prior but with added functionality to assist with multi raid guilds. You launch the broadcast UI by clicking the Status Indicator on the bottom left corner. All other features added in 2.0.x are included. Please watch the video located at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwnNnppFF2I for a quick overview on the broadcast UI as well as the added repair option to clean up your DKP tables in the event they were damaged using 2.0.x. All created entries are still broadcasted instantly and multiple officers can broadcast simultaneously without issue. 2.1 was uploaded as "beta" to prevent automatic download by accident so close to the average raid day. 2.1 is also not compatible with earlier versions. You can also join the new Discord @ https://discord.gg/8UJpkzH if you have any questions, concerns or ideas.
2.1.1 Known Issues: I've seen a few random instances where players installed 2.1.1 and then rolled back to 2.0 to raid as their guild had not transitioned, then went back to 2.1. In this instance, indexes may have been incorrect due to new entries using the old indexing. If this issue occurs for you please post a ticket on GitHub and I'll try to get you squared away. In this event, if an officer goes to 2.1 for the first time and then broadcasts their new tables, your issue should be resolved on it's own. Additionally if you receive an error along the lines of "comparing a number to a table", please reinstall 2.1.1 as there was a typo corrected.

Features
- Mass invites. Set a "Core Raid" team and mass invite only the players you've selected from the list (or select all and invite)
- Player Bidding UI for players to easily bid. If officers choose to allow bids to be seen, they will be displayed in a table at the bottom of the UI.
- Choose from multiple DKP modes including Zero Sum, Minimum bid (highest bidder wins), and static item values (highest overall DKP wins). As well as /roll based DKP.
- DKP Table entries provide a tooltip showing the players recently spent and earned DKP
- Filter the table by certain classes or show only those in your party / raid. Table columns can also be sorted by Player, Class or DKP
- Loot history. What item was won, by whom, from what boss/zone, and how much they spent on it. Can be filtered by player.
- DKP history. Comprehensive list of all players that received (or lost) dkp for each event.
- Bid timer displaying what is currently up for bid as well as it's minimum bid.
- Option to allow Sub Zero Bidding in "/dkp bid" window - Allows players to bid below their available dkp enabling them to go into the negative. But only if their available DKP is greater than 0. (with option shut off, any bid that is greater than available DKP will be rejected)
- Indicator on the bottom left of the GUI telling you if you have the most recent information. Green = Up to date; Red = Entries missing, Yellow = currently syncing.
- And many others.
Officer only features
- Bid window (opened by SHIFT+ALT clicking an item in the loot window or by typing /dkp bid [item link]) that starts bidding, collects all bids submitted, and awards the item. NOTE: Shift+Alt clicking an item only works if the item is in one of the first 4 slots of the loot window due to restrictions at the moment. If the item you wish to bid on isn't on the first page, either loot all items on that first page, close and reopen window. Or simply use /dkp bid [item link]
- Default minimum bid values can be set by slot (Neck, head etc) in the Options tab.
- Adjust DKP tab (awarding DKP). Also includes a DKP Decay option that reduces all entries by X% (default set in options or change on the fly in the Adjust DKP tab)
- Manage Tab. Manage your DKP list.
- Shift or Ctrl+Click entries in the table to select multiple players to modify.
- Right click context menu in Loot History to reassign items (if minds are changed after awarding) which will subsequently give the DKP cost back to the initial owner and charge it to the new recipient
- Boss Kill Bonus auto selects the last killed boss/zone
- Options window has additional fields to set bonus defaults (On time bonus, boss kill bonus etc)
- Every time a modification, loot entry or DKP entry is made, that information is automatically broadcasted to the guild and their GUI is updated.
- Broadcast your full tables or merge your last 2 weeks of data with other players (useful for multi raid configurations that don't want to overwrite other raids) by clicking the status indicator icon on the bottom left of the main GUI
If you'd like to change the Monolith DKP Title image to one for your own guild, you're more than welcome to. It simply requires you replace "MonolithDKP\Media\Textures\mondkp-title-t.tga" with your custom tga image (MUST be 256 x 64).
Hey Roeshambo -
Today I logged in and my settings reverted, and I had to redo them. After I did, it would not auto-award boss kill DKP. I cannot find the setting that does that anywhere now.
Also, the same issue I mentioned last time happened again - some items the bid window wouldn't let anyone click and they were forced to !bid. When they did this, it would show a completely different item and now sparkly border, and thats how we knew it wasn't going to work.
Would it be possible to add a "note" part of the bids?
E.g a player types !bid 20 Off-spec, this note would be listed to the loot master in the window?
A quick mock-up I made to illustrate the idea:
I understand you are very busy and it's merely a future suggestion.
>> Best practice would be whoever is handling the DKP should be the one adding new players.
Agree again, but this only works if the Raid Leader adds new players - doesn't work if Assistants add new players.
>> Worst case scenario would be add players and then do a full broadcast.
This does not work. If Assistant adds the player, then full broadcast, the Raid Leader does not receive the zero-DKP new raider, and as such the new raider will not receive any auto-awarded DKP. I personally had to go back and retroactively award DKP to new raiders a few times because of this, until we identified why they were not receiving DKP. I then later thought, okay, I'll add them, then full broadcast, that will get them on Raid Leader's table. This still did not work, and still had to retroactively award DKP.
Currently, non-Raid Leader (Assistant) would have to add the player, award them some DKP to put them on the Raid Leader's table, then remove said added DKP.
I don't mean to sound argumentative or anything, if you say "it's not realistic to achieve that," I get it. But the way you phrased your response made me think we both think it should work the same way, I just wanted to let you know it doesn't currently. Given that the current scenario only works if the Raid Leader manages the DKP list, that could be troublesome for guilds where the Raid Leader isn't the DKP manager.
Friday Edit: we just found a raider who was added by an Assistant a few weeks ago and hasn't been receiving DKP for several weeks, lol. Having to go back and award this person a few raids worth of DKP manually.
It's a gripe but all in all, this is still better than Excel :)
Hello,
Is there an option to have multiple dkp profiles or separate dkp folders on the same character?
For example, if I raid with my guild and use one profile/folder for the guild dkp and then use a different profile/folder for a pug and want to use this dkp manager to keep track of attendance and loot distribution. Presumably I won't be able to make any modifications if I'm not a guild officer.
Thanks.
In reply to Da_Biggs:
Might want to check his answer to a similar question here https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/monolith-dkp?comment=437
Not exactly same as your question, but similar in that it's multiple DKP tables. In short, he said you can manually swap saved variable in and out for the different raids. He paused adding new features for a while but multiple DKP tables is on his agenda for when he starts adding features again.
Hello again,
We find that when an Officer adds a Raider to the table (by add raid members, add target, etc, buttons), these new Raiders do not get synchronized to the other Officers, even after syncing with either of the broadcast options. Later, when the Raid Leader "gives" DKP via auto distribution, these newer Raiders don't receive the DKP.
So, this requires either: the Raid Leader to carry this additional burden of adding raiders to the DKP table, or making the officer in charge of DKP management the in-game "Raid Leader". Both of those options can be inconvenient.
Definitely not a game-breaker, and users can definitely work around the inconvenience. Still, though, probably solvable in a number of ways, I suppose the most direct (if not most graceful) is to have the addon "broadcast" new, zero DKP raiders during other broadcasts.
PS thanks again for making this aspect of raiding much more manageable.
In reply to mechiah:
When you add a raider to the table it is added only to yours. When other players receive DKP entries that include that raider, it automatically adds them to their table. Doing a full broadcast would pass that new raider to everyone else but simply giving that player DKP would add them to everyone elses table.
In reply to Roeshambo:
Hi Roe! Yes, that is what we learned on our own. And manually giving new player 'starting' DKP would also be a work around that would suffice. However, I think most users would expect the following behavior:
Any officer (not necessarily raid leader) adds a new raider to the table.
When DKP is auto distributed (raid initialized, time distributed, boss kill), the new raider receives DKP rewards.
Current behavior, as we both stated:
Raid Leader must have new raider on their table, either by adding it themselves, or by another Officer adding the raider and then 'giving' them some DKP to register it on the Raid Leader's table.
I don't think any user would expect the current behavior.
In reply to mechiah:
The expected behavior is that the raid leader that handles the distribution would be the one to add the player. Then any actions to give that player DKP would add them to everyone elses table. The way the system works as of now is only entries themselves are broadcasted to help limit traffic. In 1.6 and prior, it broadcasted the entire DKP table as well which caused issues because it could take larger guilds up to 30-45 seconds per entry created. So if you gave someone DKP, and then did another entry, be it loot or DKP adjust, it would attempt to send data while the first round was still sending and caused data to be lost. Best practice would be whoever is handling the DKP should be the one adding new players. Worst case scenario would be add players and then do a full broadcast.
Hello again -
we had an issue last night where the Bid buttons weren't working for half the raid when items were put up, required us to do !bid instead. What would cause that to happen, and is there a fix mid-raid? Everyone has the most up-to-date version.
In reply to kingcarahan:
Shouldn't be possible for that to be an issue. Unless they didn't have the proper dkp modes settings and the command that was being submitted was incorrect.
Hey,
love the Addon, its really awesome. Iam curios, why did you change the Sync Feature from auto Sync to the manuel one again? I find it really teadious to share the table for everyone who asks me because they were not in the last Raid.
In reply to BlakeDarkoCS:
Unfortunately, the sync feature had a lot of issues that were coming up for quite a few people. And while I was certainly able to improve it, and was well on the way to doing so, I found that the system was a bit ambitious for WoWs API and it started to cause a significant frame drop for a lot of people. This was most heavily seen for people with lower end computers (some reported they had to completely disable the addon to play at all). And since a data sync isn't exactly an urgent priority and only really needs to be done at the start of a raid, I felt it would simply be better to improve on the original functionality. I was disappointed in it's failure myself considering I had spent over 200 hours writing the sync system alone. But I had to cut my losses on it.
In reply to Roeshambo:
Iam sad to hear that, but i totaly understand. Thanks for the reply and great work!
With the release of BWL around the corner, our guild is looking to have fresh DKP values for the beginning of the raid.
Just wondering if there is any way to run two separate tables? (one for MC dkp and one for BWL dkp)
any advice from the community would be great!
In reply to DarkAvernus:
Only way to currently do it would be to swap out savedvariables files between the two raids and keep it updated as you add new data. I'm hoping to get an option to create additional tables made up prior to BWL. However, this is a solo project, and I've been working on it almost exclusively since launch. So I've had almost no time to actually play the game and have been taking a short break from the addon to do so. Hopefully I'll get some time to write it up in the near future.
Hi! Previously, when killing a boss, DKP points were awarded to the participants of the RAID automatically, and now you have to press the accrual button with your hands. Is there any way to fix this ? Or is it our Guild rights settings ? The RAID is launched by an officer with all rights....
In reply to nawa2020:
Make sure the "Auto Award DKP" option is set in the modes window for the raid leader. It's the raid leader that distributes DKP automatically so they will need to have that option checked
In reply to Roeshambo:
Hi! Thank you, helped
Would it be possible to connect two characters and have them share the same pool of DKP? We're exploring options in the sense that instead of having DKP tied to your character, we'd like to offer our players to place bids using their already accumulated DKP from their alternative characters as well. To avoid having to manually move around the dkp each time a player joins the raid using an alt, it'd be great if it was possible for the two to be connected.
Regards,
Snith
