One member of the raid will need to run MorgDKP http://www3.telus.net/MorgDKP/index.htm to query the raid for looted items and track DKP.
Description:
MorgBid is a fairly simple mod that allows a window to pop up to so that raid members can vote NEED, TAKE (greed), or PASS on loot in endgame instances. Every member of the raid must have MorgBid installed in order to vote.
Special Note:
Special thanks go out to FryGuy for his mods FryBid and FryListDKP. They were the starting point for my mods and I thank him for allowing me to use and post his code. Almost all of the code in MorgBid is FryGuys.
BidWar Mode:
This enables you to bid for items. The tablet will popup with the current bid in green where the NEED button usually is. Scroll your mousewheel or left/right click to increase/decrease your bid. Then click the TAKE button to place your bid. PASS if you dont want to bid. Can have as many bidding rounds as the person running MorgDKP wants.
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Morgalm saidThanks for the feedback. Sorry was away on vacation for 2 weeks. The second situation is a problem and I fixed it already just have to test so I will update soon. The other problem isn't really a problem. In our raids we allow people to bid more DKP than they currently have within reason so I need that flexibility in the mod. And if a person can't be trusted to bid within his DKP maybe he shouldn't be in the raid:)
Also the changes will be to MorgDKP NOT MorgBid.
Thanks

drakenightangel saidFirst of all, a great addon, BUT.
There are several errors I discovered. 1. If you have let's say 10 DKP, you can just over take it, you can even roll 1000, which shouldn't be allowed, only a maximum roll should be encountered of your current DKP. 2.If it end with someone having the same take as you, you can't bid anymore, so if I bid 10 DKP as take, and someone else aswell, it just stops and nothing can be done anymore, but if someone else after that bids ofcourse then you can just rebid, UNLESS the last person bids the same as the secondhighest person.
Try to fix those, then it would be a great addon.
