Magic Looter for WoW

What is Magic Looter?

Magic Looter is an addon to make master looting easier to manage. Specifically it will automatically loot Bind-on-Equip or non-binding items to a configured prioritized set of players (based on who's in the raid).

There are two recipient lists - bank items and disenchanting. Every time you open the loot windows, Magic Looter will scan the item(s) and using the predefined lists will send the item(s) to the appropriate recipient(s). If none of the players on the predefined list are available as loot recipients, the item will be looted to yourself.

Note: The addon only useful for master looting. It doesn't do anything when master looting isn't active.

Also note that it is best used when the loot threshold is set to uncommon. It can be used with any threshold, but the higher the threshold, the lower the benefit of automatic looting is.

Is that it?

No, there's also an optional addon that replaces the Master Loot menu. It adds class sorted looting (instead of group based), random roll tracking and quick looting to self, disenchanter or banker.

Why do I need this?

I wrote this because my guild collect all greens for disenchanting, later used to provide free enchants to raiders, and I got tired of manually distribute master loot items.

If anyone wants to get this mod working, edit your Magiclooter/embeds.xml file and add the line "<Include file="Libs\AceTimer-3.0\AceTimer-3.0.xml"/>" without quotes in the list. Works like a charm after doing so.

I guess I found this mod too late, as recent Ace updates or the patch broke this wonderful sounding mod. Getting the following error on log in.

Message: Interface\AddOns\MagicLooter\MagicLooter.lua:24: Usage: EmbedLibrary(addon, libname, silent, offset): 'libname' - Cannot find a library instance of "AceTimer-3.0". Time: 12/10/09 02:25:07 Count: 1 Stack: [C]: in function `error' ...\AddOns\AltTabber\libs\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:201: in function `EmbedLibrary' ...\AddOns\AltTabber\libs\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:183: in function `EmbedLibraries' ...\AddOns\AltTabber\libs\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:150: in function `NewAddon' Interface\AddOns\MagicLooter\MagicLooter.lua:24: in main chunk Locals: (*temporary) = "Usage: EmbedLibrary(addon, libname, silent, offset): 'libname' - Cannot find a library instance of "AceTimer-3.0".">>

I hope you can update it, sounds like the perfect mod for my hatred of being ML.

Nevermind about the above, I fixed it by adding "<Include file="Libs\AceTimer-3.0\AceTimer-3.0.xml"/>" to Magiclooter/embeds.xml

I have alot of trouble adding names to the Banker and Disenchanter Priority List. After startup, I can add names, but then they just disappear. If I then try and add more names, sometimes I am not able to type in the box at all, othertimes I just get a cursor in the middle of the name box with an inability to type and some screwy behaviour.

Great mod though. Been looking forever for something like this.

The master loot menu portion of this mod is currently broken due to a typo, ver R31.

...Interface/Addons/MagicLooter_LootMenu/MagicLooter_LootMenu.toc

Near the bottom, you will see the following line: Libs\AceHook-3,0\AceHook-3.0.xml

If you look carefully you will notice that Libs\"AceHook-3,0" is actually a COMMA instead of a PERIOD. I have copied and pasted here, you can see it.

Changing the offending comma to a period "Libs\AceHook-3.0\AceHook-3.0.xml" restores functionality.

The fix for this is a simple typo.
Log out of WoW completely. Go to your add-ons folder and navigate to ...Interface/Addons/MagicLooter_LootMenu/MagicLooter_LootMenu.toc

Right-click the toc file and "open with" Wordpad (or notepad).

Near the bottom, you will see the following line: Libs\AceHook-3,0\AceHook-3.0.xml

If you look carefully you will notice that Libs\"AceHook-3,0" is ACTUALLY A COMMA instead of a PERIOD. I have copied and pasted here, you can see it.

Change the offending comma to a period, it should say "Libs\AceHook-3.0\AceHook-3.0.xml"

Select "File" from the top menu, and "save." Presto, fixt.

How can i add Enchanter with Symbols like ÁÀÄ or other Symbols in the Name?
After the "Save" I've new Symbols instead of the old Symbols (like ÁÀ).

I hope you understand me. ;-)

Dhedbor - Loving the adjustment you have made. This mod has cut out a large portion of my time by autolooting trash (greens) to my disenchanter, and the loot menu's are teriffic. Great work thanks!

@Scimi - You have to be in a raid and ML for this mod to work (although i haven't tested it in a party with ML)

@Topsi - i had the very same problem, but a newer release took care of that for me. If you are upgrading make sure you delet the old version 1st and NOT overwrite it.

Hi Unrak,
i did exactly what you said, but there isnt a minimap icon or any sign of life from Magic Looter. Maybe it doesnt work with the german client.

Oh I bet I messed up the Ace3 dependencies again. I'll check this, probably tomorrow, and fix any mistakes.

Hi,
I have a problem with Magic Looter because I found no command or minimap button to open a configuration window.
And when I have ML rights there is no " Magic Loot Frame" it seems like the addon isnt working.

Nice addon, thanks for your work!

Would it be possible to include an optional popup box "Enable auto loot for this raid?" every time when a raid with masterloot is joined or loot method is changed to masterloot?

I'm using MagicLooter to auto loot in our guilds 25 man raids. In other raids, especially 10 man, i want to use the MagicLooter loot menu but not the auto loot. At the moment i always have to rember to disable or enable auto loot via the options.

Maybe a better option would be to allow you to toggle auto-looting separately for 10 and 25 man raids.
