Scrutineer

Scrutineer — The Mythic+ Update

The first major release since the 12.0.5 compatibility patch. Scrutineer evolves from a raid-only tool into a modular framework with full Mythic+ support, in-game diagnostics, and a heap of quality-of-life polish.

Highlights

Mythic+ is now supported. A brand new module brings the same applicant-filtering treatment to Mythic+ keystone listings — item level requirements per key range, plus an optional dungeon-completion check that's smarter than just looking at score.

Mouseover any applicant in your Group Finder list to see exactly why Scrutineer passed or failed them. Verdict + reasoning lines appear right below Blizzard's default tooltip, color-coded.

Custom minimap button for quick access — left-click to open settings, right-click to print your current listing's filter status. Drag to position. Includes a custom Scrutineer icon.

Notification sounds play when a new applicant first passes your filter. Choose from four built-in WoW sounds or five original Scrutineer chimes (fantasy & sci-fi flavored).

New Module — Mythic+

• Five item level thresholds, one per key range: +2-5 / +6-9 / +10-12 / +13-15 / +16+
• Push Level requirement (Off / At listed level / +1 / +2 / +3) — applicant qualifies if EITHER they timed your dungeon at the listed level with N chests, OR their best for your dungeon is N or more levels higher
• Multi-source key detection — works whether you hold the listed key in your bag or not:
  1. The level baked into the listing (when WoW provides it directly)
  2. Your own keystone, when its dungeon matches the listing
  3. The first "+N" found in your listing title
  4. The first "+N" found in your listing description
• Smart fallback chain — if you list "+12 PoS LF healer" without holding the key, Scrutineer reads "+12" from the title and proceeds normally
• Defensive RaiderIO data lookup across multiple version-specific data shapes

New Feature — Applicant Mouseover Tooltip

• Hover any applicant in the Group Finder list to see the verdict (PASS / FAIL / checking) plus per-check reasoning
• Verdict header shows which module evaluated them (Raid or Mythic+)
• Color-coded reasons: green for met conditions, red for failed, grey for context, orange for warnings (e.g., RaiderIO not loaded)
• Toggleable via the Show pass/fail in applicant tooltip checkbox in core options, or with the new /scr tooltip chat command

Example tooltip on a passing M+ applicant:

Scrutineer (Mythic+): PASS   Item level: 285 (need 270 for +10-12 keys) ✓   Best for Pit of Saron: +13 (timed +1 chest) ✓

New Feature — Minimap Button

• Custom Scrutineer icon on your minimap with circular border masking
• Left-click: open Scrutineer settings
• Right-click: print the current listing's filter status to chat
• Drag: reposition around the edge of your minimap; saved per character
• Conforms to non-round minimap shapes — works seamlessly with SexyMap and other custom UI minimap modifications (square, side, corner, tricorner all supported)
• Repositions automatically when the minimap is resized
• Toggle visibility via core options or /scr minimap

New Feature — Notification Sounds

• Plays a sound when a new applicant first passes your filter
• Default: Bonus Loot toast
• Built-in WoW sounds: Bonus Loot, Ready Check, Quest Complete, Map Ping
• Original Scrutineer sounds (synth-generated, bundled with the addon, no external downloads):
  • Crystal Chime (fantasy) — sparkly two-note rising harmonic chime
  • Spell Bell (fantasy) — cathedral-bell inharmonic resonance with long ringing tail
  • Sparkle (fantasy) — five-note ascending arpeggio with octave doubling
  • Console Beep (sci-fi) — square-wave double pulse, digital edge
  • Warp (sci-fi) — sawtooth frequency sweep with vibrato wobble
• Burst protection — a flood of qualifying applicants won't machine-gun the sound
• Per-applicant dedupe — the same person won't re-ring on every list refresh
• Test button in the panel to preview your chosen sound on demand

New Feature — Reset to Default

• Every options panel (Scrutineer, Raid, Mythic+) has a Default button in the top-right
• Confirmation prompt — Set [panel] options to default? Yes / No
• Resets only the panel you clicked from; other panels are left alone
• Visible widgets refresh in place — no /reload required

Architecture

• Scrutineer split into three add-on folders for modularity:
  • Scrutineer (core framework — required)
  • Scrutineer_Raid (raid evaluation)
  • Scrutineer_MythicPlus (Mythic+ evaluation)
• Use only the modules you need — install raid + M+ together, or one without the other
• One shared saved variable with automatic one-time migration — your existing raid settings carry over untouched
• All raid evaluation logic moved into the Raid module unchanged: same item-level thresholds, kill requirements, Auto Mode, AOTC, and Cutting Edge handling

Improvements

Settings panels

• Panels reset to the top when you switch tabs and return — no more landing in the middle of a long page
• Plain-language pass on all in-game help text — dropped developer jargon throughout
• Tightened slider/label spacing in the Mythic+ key range options
• Closed visible gaps between paragraphs in "How It Works" sections via auto-sizing
• Highlight Colour change now repaints existing applicants immediately
• +2-5 key range label changed to grey for a softer "entry-level" visual weight

Mythic+ defaults

• Refined item level defaults: 240 / 260 / 270 / 280 / 285 across the five tiers
• Slider cap matches reality at 300 (was much higher); existing high values clamp on load

New chat commands

• /scr raid — open the Raid options page
• /scr mplus — open the Mythic+ options page
• /scr status — print the current listing's active filter to chat
• /scr modules — list loaded modules
• /scr tooltip — toggle applicant tooltip
• /scr minimap — toggle minimap icon
• /scr color <name> — change highlight color
• All previous commands (/scr settings, /scr debug, /scr reload, /scr ilvl ...) preserved

Login banner

• Now shows per-module summary, e.g. Scrutineer — Raid N260 H270 M280 | M+ push at-listed
