NeverLucky-1.4.1.zip
What's new
Changelog
1.4.1
/nl reportopens the posting window whenever you want, solo or in a group, even with/nl askturned off./nl report last(orcurrent,session,all,vs <name>) opens it for something else. It used to be another name for/nl.- If you type
/nlagain while the posting window is still open, it now shows it afresh, in front. With/nl debugon, NeverLucky says which prompt it used, to help track down a report that a second/nldidn't ask to post.
1.4.0
- Luck per dungeon run.
/nl currentshows your luck in the dungeon or raid you're in now: the usual report for this run alone, how long you've been inside, and what you won./nl lastdoes the same for your last run (inside an instance, the one before this one). - In a group, both offer to post a one-line version.
/nl share currentand/nl share lastpost straight away, e.g./nl share guild last. - A run carries on if you come back into the same instance within 30 minutes (dying and running
back, a disconnect, a
/reload). Another instance or difficulty, a longer break, or an instance reset starts a new run. /nl lastused to list your last rolls; that's/nl recent(or/nl history), as before.- Runs are recorded from 1.4.0 on, so
/nl lasthas something to show after your first run with it.
1.3.0
- Guild leaderboard.
/nl guildranks everyone in your guild who has NeverLucky, from luckiest to most cursed, and names the guild's jinx. Members who are offline still show, with their luck as they last told you. There's no server or website: each NeverLucky tells the guild its own luck in the background when you log in and after new rolls, at most once every 5 minutes. - Big guilds show the top 5, your own place and the bottom 5;
/nl guild alllists everyone. - After the board, NeverLucky offers to post the top three and the jinx to guild chat.
/nl guild shareposts straight away, and/nl guild share officerposts to officer chat. /nl privatenow covers the guild too. The first time NeverLucky shares your luck with your guild, it tells you, and how to stop it.- Trial and Veteran accounts can't send addon messages, so they see the guild board but aren't on it.
/nl statussays so. - When a guildmate or group member runs a newer NeverLucky, one line tells you an update is out.
1.2.0
- Drop luck: did the loot even suit you? NeverLucky now also judges what dropped, not just how your dice did. For every Rare or Epic piece of gear that drops in your group, it checks whether it was for your class: your armor type at your level (a hunter wears leather until 40, then mail), a weapon your class can use, or a ring, neck, trinket or cloak. It compares that with the boss's loot table. A boss whose loot is mostly cloth was never likely to drop leather, so missing out there barely counts against you; a boss whose loot is mostly yours that keeps dropping cloth does.
- One overall verdict. Your verdict now combines dice luck and drop luck (each counts once it has enough data: 5 fair fights, 10 rare drops). The report shows both parts, so you can see whether it's the dice or the loot tables that hate you.
/nl dropslists your last rare drops, whether each was for you, and how much of its boss's loot fits your class.- Drop luck needs boss loot tables, which come from the DungeonJournal addon by Exehn on WoW Forever (its folder is called ForeverDungeonJournal). Install it and NeverLucky reads its tables; without it, drop luck stays off. Uncommon (green) drops don't count: they're world drops, and nobody publishes what they could have been.
- The group leaderboard ranks by the overall verdict and shows each player's rare drops. Players without the loot tables still see everyone's drop luck.
/nl statusshows whether drop luck is on, and checks its class rules against the game's own tooltips.- NeverLucky now saves your level and the encounter with each drop. Drops saved before 1.2.0 have no level; they still count unless your armor type has changed since (a hunter or shaman who reached 40, a warrior or paladin who got plate).
1.1.3
- Post your head-to-head records. In a group,
/nl vs <name>now offers to post your record against that player, with the same channel dropdown./nl share vs <name>posts it straight away. /nl sharecan post more than your verdict:vs(your rivals),sessionandall(every character). Name a channel first to post somewhere else, e.g./nl share guild vs Scrann Frank.- Every posted line is cut to fit chat's 255-byte limit.
1.1.2
- Pick where to post. The "post it?" question after
/nland/nl groupnow has a dropdown: Party, Raid, Instance, Guild, Say or Yell. Only channels you can use right now are listed. It starts on your group's channel: Party in a normal party, Raid in a raid, Instance in dungeon finder groups. /nl group share guild(or any channel) posts the leaderboard straight to that channel./nl sharetakesyelltoo, and when you're not in a group it asks where to post.- The game only lets addons use Say and Yell inside dungeons and raids, so outside them NeverLucky warns you that the message may not have appeared.
- Full names on WoW Forever.
/nl vs Scrann Franknow finds Scrann, as do/nl vs scrannand/nl vs Scrann-Realm./nl vs, the welcome-back line, the after-roll line and/nl recentshow people's full names again.
1.1.1
- Head-to-head records, kept for good. Whenever you and another player both roll the winning type on an item (Need vs Need, say), NeverLucky records who got it and whose dice were higher. The other player doesn't need NeverLucky for this.
/nl vslists your rivals, and/nl vs <name>shows your full record against one player.- Welcome back: when someone you've rolled against joins your group, you get one line with your record against them, e.g. "Back with Bob: you lead 2-1 over 4 shared fights".
/nl groupadds your head-to-head with everyone in the group, and NeverLucky remembers what each friend's own luck was the last time you asked. Going/nl privatemakes other players forget it.- On first login, your existing roll history (the newest 500 drops) is used to build head-to-head records.
Fixed:
- On WoW Forever, rolls you won were counted as losses. The loot window there shows names with a second word ("Robinhood Crypto"), which NeverLucky didn't recognise as you. Your saved history is repaired on first login, on every character, so your luck verdict is recalculated.
- The same drops were sometimes stored twice: once from the loot window and once from chat. The extra copies are removed.
- A "You won" chat line could store a long ID number as your roll.
1.1.0
- Group luck leaderboard:
/nl groupranks everyone in your party or raid who has NeverLucky, from luckiest to most cursed, and names the group's jinx. It then offers to post the ranking to group chat, and/nl group shareposts it straight away. Everyone in the group needs 1.1.0 or newer. /nl privatekeeps your luck off other players' leaderboards./nl statusshows whether the leaderboard works on your client.- Handles newer clients blocking addon messages during boss fights and Mythic+, by saying so instead of failing silently.
1.0.0
First release.
- Records every group loot roll: your roll type and number, the winner, and how many people rolled the same type as you.
/nlluck report with a verdict from BLESSED BY RNG to NEVER LUCKY, based on an exact probability calculation over your own roll history./nl items: how much of the loot that drops is actually for you (upgrades, usable, off-spec, wrong armor type, can't use).- In a group,
/nlasks whether to post your verdict to party chat (/nl askto turn the question off). /nl recent,/nl session,/nl all(every character) and/nl share(post your verdict straight away).- One-line message after each roll you take part in (
/nl notifyto turn off). - Works on WoW Forever, Retail and Classic clients; reads rolls from loot history where the client has it and from loot chat messages in any language everywhere else.
