RaidBidder is a bidding mod that tracks and broadcasts high bidders, matchers, and announces winners at the end of the bid. I originally wrote this mod for my guild, like may others, that uses a credit system for high end raids like MC/BWL/AQ, but I decided to throw it up online for public use. I hope this mod has been helpful to others, as others have been very helpful to me in developing this mod =)

Note: GetDKP is no longer an option dependency. GetDKP seems to have disappeared so I just integrated its functionality. Read the readme.txt for installation info



Usage:
Everytime you loot a corpse, the main window shows buttons for each loot item. Just click on one of these buttons to start a bid for that item.


Open the GUI by /rb or /raidbidder

GUI Buttons:
Start - Announces and starts a new bid
[SomeItemLink] - Starts a bid for this item
Clear Loot - Clears the current list of Loot buttons
Pause - Stops the timer and no bids are accepted
Add Time - adds time to the current timer, bids are still accepted
Stop - Cancels the current bid
Bid History - Opens the History window
Defaults - Loads defaults
Close - I hope this is self explanatory =)

Options:
Bid Location - Where to broadcast the bid
Bid by whisper - to only accept bids that are whispered to the person running the mod
Integrate with GetDKP - turns on GetDKP functionality. this can onlye be checked if the correct GetDKP files are found.
Use DKP Data:
-checks and prevent people from bidding more points than they have
-players can msg you (the one running the mod) 'mypoints' to get an auto whisper of how many points they have
-players can bid all their points by saying 'all' in the bid channel. An 'all' bid bypasses the normal 'must bid in increments of X' rule.

Allow mathcing bids - Allows players to bid the same amount as someone else, and will call for a /random of the matching winners

Console Commands:
/rb start [item_link] - If you do this command with a link to the item you want to bid on, it will first broadcast a message to the Raid saying that bidding has started, and give the item link, then it starts bidding as normal either in the channel you specify, or in Raid. At the end of the bid, it will announce the item that was won.


Current Changable Variables:
(These are the variable that people might want to change in the RaidBidder.lua file.)

local newBidderPoints = 100.00
-how many points someone has when they are not found in the GetDKP table

local updateInterval = 10;
-update the mod every x frames, while bidding.


local bidHistoryMax = 10
--how many entries to have in the Bid History


See RaidBidder.lua for Version History

Comments and suggestions are always welcome =)
