QDKP (attendance & null dkp recorder, output to xml)

So in doing dkp for my guild for 18 months, I always wanted a better way of recording everything. It took me until the pre-2.0 weeks to get it working, and then ofc it broke with the 2.0 patch. I've finally got myself to 70, and have been thinking about making it work with TBC.

Anyway, it's designed to run with the system we used, which borrowed a lot from the EJ way. We used "council" decided loot values, with a limited set of upgrades, and null dkp.

There's two parts to it, a recording mod and a "listening" mod that silently reports drops and also shows tooltip dkp values. The idea is that several (or all, if desired) people in the raid run the reporting mod, and one or two run the recording mod.

The reporting mod is there so that loot out of range of the people recording, still gets entered. It's set up with BWL and AQ40 bosses to auto record rollcalls on boss deaths, and will autorecord all epics (except defined ones like ele ore).

In the end I was able to have it recording everything with a very small amount of input while I was raiding, and simply dump it to xml for eqdkp (I also hacked up an import script for eqdkp, which allowed previewing of the raid before submitting to the eqdkp db). After doing it the hard way for 18 months, it seriously was a joy to watch it all being done automatically. All I had to do was list dkp for people interested in a drop.

I guess my question is - if I spent some time tidying it up, would others want to use it? Adding your own item values and bosses is simple for anyone familiar with a regex and excel.

Or is there a better mod out there now? I made this one because I could never find a mod that suited our system.
