NoBonusRoll

A World of Warcraft addon that automatically passes on the bonus roll prompt in the raids and difficulties you pick, so you stop burning coins/seals on content you only care about clearing.

Nothing is dismissed until you say so: a fresh install leaves every bonus roll alone.

Quick start

1. Copy the NoBonusRoll folder into World of Warcraft/<flavor>/Interface/AddOns/.
2. Log in and type /nbr to open the options, or use chat commands.

"Pass on every Normal raid automatically":

/nbr diff normal on

"…but always let me roll in Siege of Orgrimmar" (while standing in that raid):

/nbr here keep

The other way around — only ever roll in Mythic, pass on everything else:

/nbr invert on
/nbr diff mythic on

How a prompt is decided

When the client shows a bonus roll prompt, the addon works out the raid and the difficulty and checks, in this order:

1. A rule for this raid and this exact difficulty (/nbr here).
2. A rule for this raid, all difficulties (/nbr raid).
3. The difficulty list (/nbr diff, or the checkboxes in the options).
   • Normal mode: listed difficulties are passed, everything else is left alone.
   • Inverted mode (/nbr invert on): listed difficulties are kept, everything else is passed.

The master switch, a pause, and /nbr next all short-circuit the whole thing and leave the prompt alone.

Bonus rolls from world bosses have no instance difficulty, so they are filed under the pseudo difficulty World / no instance (id 0) and can be listed like any other.

Options panel

/nbr opens a panel (also under Interface → AddOns → NoBonusRoll) with:

• the master switch and the chat message toggle,
• a delay in seconds before passing — 0 passes instantly, a few seconds gives you time to hit Roll yourself if you change your mind,
• the invert switch,
• a checkbox per difficulty the current client knows about,
• the list of per-raid rules, where each row can be flipped between Pass and Keep or removed.

Chat commands

/nbr or /nobonusroll

Difficulty names come from the client, so /nbr diff normal on matches whatever that client calls "Normal". A name that matches several entries lists all of them; numeric ids are always accepted.

Which game versions have bonus rolls

Bonus rolls exist in Mists of Pandaria through Shadowlands; retail removed the system in Dragonflight (10.0), so on a current retail client there is simply no prompt for the addon to answer. It ships with two TOC files anyway:

• NoBonusRoll_Mists.toc — Mists of Pandaria Classic, where this is actually useful.
• NoBonusRoll.toc — the fallback the client uses for anything else, including retail.

If a client marks the addon out of date, bump the ## Interface: line in the matching TOC to that client's interface number (/dump select(4, GetBuildInfo()) in game prints it).

Everything the addon touches is version-tolerant: the prompt type constant, the metadata lookup, the settings registration and the way the prompt window is closed all have fallbacks for older and newer clients.

Files

Tests

The decision logic, the chat commands and an options refresh run outside the game against a stubbed API:

lua5.1 tests/run_tests.lua

WoW runs Lua 5.1, so use the same interpreter.
