Overview
HeadCount is a configurable World of Warcraft add-on that automatically tracks raid attendance, loot, and boss kills.
HeadCount answers the following questions:
- How long is a player active in a raid?
- How long is a player on standby for a raid?
- How long is a player offline during a given raid?
- What loot dropped during a raid and who received it?
- What boss kills occurred during a given raid and who was there for the kill?

Features
Raids
- Raid creation: Automatically creates a new raid as you join or start a raid.
- Raid finalization: Automatically ends an existing raid as you leave a raid.
- Raid management: The user can end raids, remove raids, or remove all raids on demand.
- Raid zone tracking: Zone name are automatically added to raids as you zone into a raid instance for the first time.
Player attendance
- Player tracking: Players are tracked based on their timed participation in the raid. Players can be tracked based on configurable raid groups for raid list activity (active raiding players) and wait list players (queue/standby players).
- Player removal: The user can remove tracked information for specific players on demand.
- Player history: View specific player history for a raid to see how and when a player moved from activity to standby to offline and back during a raid.
- No list tracking: Players can be tracked as non-raid list and non-standby players as needed. Players that go offline are automatically taken out of the raid and wait list groups for tracking purposes.
- Integrated wait list: Receive whispers from members outside of the raid group in order to track them.
Boss kills
- Boss kill tracking: Tracks the world bosses killed during the course of a raid and the raid list members present for the kill.
- Boss kill removal: The user can remove tracked boss kills on demand.
- Manual boss kill: The user can add a boss kill to the current raid at the current time with the current roster via /hc boss add [bossname]
Loot
- Loot tracking: Tracks loot received during a raid based on configurable item level quality (default: Epic item level or higher)
- Loot removal: The user can remove specific pieces of loot on demand.
- Loot exclusion: The user can manage loot exclusion which will prevent certain pieces of loot from being tracked during a raid. (e.g. - Emblem of Valor)
Export
- Export: Users can export current raid attendance and received loot information to one of a number of formats (CSV, XML, Text, EQdkp XML string, phpBB forum post, phpBB with ItemStats forum post).
Reporting
- Boss kill broadcast: The user can optionally broadcast when the raid kills a boss to a configurable chat channel.
- Loot broadcast: The user can optionally broadcast when a player receives a valid piece of loot to a configurable chat channel.
Performance
- Fault tolerance: If the mod owner quits WoW, restarts WoW, or reloads their UI during a raid and returns to the game, HeadCount will attempt to gracefully recover from the outage to continue tracking the active raid.
- Attendance delay: Configure how often HeadCount should manage attendance updates to increase or decrease performance and/or accuracy.

xelente Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:32:47How do you even find the commands for waitlist? Because I don't want the waitlist to be group6-8, I want them to add themselves in whisper for it.

I can't see any whispers sent or received. Disabling the addon fixes it.

alrit Wed, 15 Apr 2009 01:15:30Thx 4 this great addon.I have CTRT removed already. :p And 1, would it be possible to annouce the whole loot list to channel by a simple click? 2, raid name could be modified?

Jiminimonka Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:00:30I would like to ask if we could have the Player History also show previous raids, and possibly show a % of attendance across all the recorded raids so far recorded.
Great addon, been using it for ages now.

magesh Sat, 07 Feb 2009 13:30:04i have several stuff in mind, however i dont know how much they are implementable. Let me begin.
1) It would be better if we could see the long term activity of a player, when we click on his/her name in the list(At the moment, it shows how long that person was in this current raid which i personally dont find very useful but it is not so bad either). Instead of showing data like "Name, Guild, Level, Gender, Race" which has no use for tracking the activity, you can add a string like RRRMRRRWRM. This string is for last 10 raids (you can do even more raids in this format), R= Joined to Raid, M= Missed Raid, W=Was in waitlist. you can also add other stuff for replaced or whatever. But this can help a guild leader to see how active that person is with one click on the name of the person. I admit this string is a simple idea, if you have better idea which shows activity better and simple, you can implement that as well.
2) It would be very good to have synchronization between the class leaders/officers/gm who are all using this addon. So that if any of these people gets "wl add" whisper for being added to wait list, it will update waiting list on all officers team's addons.
3) as bornhall said, binding names of the alts with a main character would also be very useful. because some people would like to join waiting list with their alt chars.

bornhall Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:40:101. Appreciated regardless, just noticed it yesterday when I was helping our GM evaluate HeadCount. He has no idea what LF and/or CR+LF is, and if other people encounters the same, they might skip an otherwise excellent addon.
2a. Yeah, I know it's easy to fall into featuritis, adding this and that all over the place. I haven't "used" HeadCount in any raid leader position myself yet, but it could of course be an optional thing, hitting a "Start raid" button somewhere. As for our own guild, we always start the raid at 19:30, so an option to set a fixed raid start time is another possible solution.
2b. Yeah, I know it's edging on too much to ask for, but assuming that the raid leader is on time and at the instance, anyone not in range should basically be considered not there :-) This ties into the "Raid start time" mentioned above, that is the time that we would use to determine on-time/location bonus.
2c. Again, appreciated. In our case, I would adapt our dkp system to parse the file anyway, so a verbose output is highly useful.
Thanks for the quick response, and keep up the good work!

seppyk Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:28:28Cross-posted by accident. Here it is again.
1. I think this can be done, but would have to test to make sure.
2a. It will be difficult to determine when the raid "starts" beyond when you join the raid. A starting time for the raid beyond when the raid actually forms is entirely artificial and difficult to track unless the addon user gives manual notification. I try to avoid adding manual features as much as possible.
2b. Zone names for players upon invite may be possible or painful to do, but I would need to do some investigation for this. A lot of player-based information isn't automatically available unless they are in range of you.
2c. I can look into adding some sort of verbose option for the forum/text formats in order to include all time pairs in the export string if this is helpful.

bornhall Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:59:33Nice addon, looks really fine and seems to work well! Two things I would like to request though;
1. Copy and pasting export data into notepad in Windows doesn't properly put each line on a separate line. This is due to the copy-pasted text only having LF (I assume) as opposed to the (idiotic) CR+LF used by Windows. Pasting it into UltraEdit would probably work, but this may be useful for those who wants to simply store it in a readable text file format. It's not vital that this is fixed, but hey, if it's possible... :)
2. Add times for when raid members joined/left the raid. Our guild uses on-time/on-location bonuses, and it would make it a lot easier if it was possible to see which members where IN the raid before the raid starts (also WHERE they are at raid start is valuable information, if you could add that). Some people switches to alts or lets someone else step in for a specific boss and things like that. Sort of like this:
Raid: 01:23:45, Standby: 00:00:00, Offline: 00:03:21
Joined: 19:40:12, Left: 21:01:13 (Raid ended)
.
What do you think, is this something that would be possible to add? If it is, it could be useful information for more guilds than ours.
Thanks in advance!
