Raffle Gold  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 18.23.5
by: calia1120, dlrgames, Mircalla1803
Edit 8/28/2020 - dlrgames
Updated the wording displayed when the addon is building the database.
Please see the comments channel for a VERY useful process to speed up processing of Guild bank records.


Edit 4/17/2020 - dlrgames

New version with API updated for Harrowstorm. No other changes have been made.
Please note that due to the Guild data API changes collecting all the deposit info for a Guild raffle can take a LONG time. Even a small number of records may require over an hour!
If the addon tells you it needs to update the database, please be patient and let it run. It will tell you when it is ready.

Edit 1/2/2020 - dlrgames

I've uploaded a new version updated for the new API introduced with Scalebreaker (U23) and made a few small corrections in the tooltips. All functionality remains the same.

The embedded libraries have been removed, you will need to install the latest LibAddonMenu-2.0 seperately.

If you need an updated version of the addon with the Regrouper Workaround slash commands, you can find it here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raffle Gold is a convenient method for handling raffle percentages for gold while in-game.

Invalid Start / End Date: If you receive a message about an invalid start and/or end date after an update to the API and/or game client, select a different date, choose your previously selected date and the addon will work as intended.

You can access Raffle Gold by going to Settings -> Addon Settings -> Raffle Gold
or type in your chat window: /rafflegold

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to manually install addons:
  1. Locate the "Elder Scrolls Online" folder in your Documents
    For Windows: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\<version>\
    For Mac: ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/<version>/
    (replace <version> with the client you're using - "live" or "liveeu")
  2. You should find an AddOns folder, if you don't, create one.
  3. Extract the addon from the downloaded zip file into the AddOns folder.
  4. Log into the game, and on the character creation/selection screen you'll find the Addons menu. Enable your addons from there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raffle Gold offers two options for selecting raffle winners.

Option 1 - Basic Raffle Drawing
  • Entry Price: Amount required to purchase raffle tickets. Required only if not using Total Amount below.
  • 1st Place %: The percentage that the first place winner wins, based on the total amount of tickets purchased.
  • 2nd Place %: The percentage that the second place winner wins. (a zero amount will negate this, and 3rd, option)
  • 3rd Place %: The percentage that the third place winner wins. (see 1st and 2nd place for more information)
  • Total Entries: The total number of entries, not tickets, purchased.
  • Total Amount: The total amount generated from the raffle. Only required if Entry Price is empty above. If both Entry Price and this have values, then the addon will check the math.
  • Draw Raffle: This will check the information above and output the winning raffle ticket numbers and the amount that each place wins into the chat window.
Option 2 - Guild Bank Raffle Drawing
  • Entry Price: Amount required to purchase raffle tickets. (Required)
  • (OPTIONAL) Price per Ticket: The actual ticket price. Example: entry fee is $1k, but you get 10x tickets, this would be $100 per ticket
  • 1st Place %: The percentage that the first place winner wins, based on the total amount of tickets purchased.
  • 2nd Place %: The percentage that the second place winner wins. (a zero amount will negate this, and 3rd, option)
  • 3rd Place %: The percentage that the third place winner wins. (see 1st and 2nd place for more information)
  • Guild: The guild that you would like to use to draw the raffle.
  • Exclude Guild Rank(s) #: The guild rank(s) to exclude, in the order they appear in the guild pane, and above for any deposits made in increments of the "Entry Price". 1 = Guild Master
    For example: selecting #3 will exclude that rank as well as #1 and #2
  • Starting Amount $: This is the base amount being offered, without any raffle tickets even being purchased. (Any raffle tickets purchased will only build upon this amount, but can help if there is minimal participation for those that do enter)
  • Starting Date: This is the date that entries started being deposited for the raffle.
  • Starting Time: This is the time that entries started being deposited. (this should be based on your system time and not server)
  • Ending Date: This is the date that the entries finished being deposited for the raffle.
  • Ending Time: Any deposits made after this time, on the Ending Date, will be excluded from this raffle.
  • Prizes Per Username: The number of allowed prizes per username.
    • One: Can only win one of the 3 places
    • Multiple: Winners selected based on first ticket # drawn
  • Guild Raffle: This will compile the guild bank's history and output to the chat window when it is ready to continue.
    Clicking this again will let you know how many entries, the number of tickets (if different from entries), the amount, time remaining (if it hasn't ended yet), the username of each winner (once the raffle has finished), the ticket number and amount won.
  • Display Results: This does the same thing as Guild Raffle, but will include the amount that the guild earned, if the raffle has ended.

How does Raffle Gold work?
Raffle Gold does nothing more than simple math and selecting random numbers when using the basic raffle option.
The guild bank raffle utilizes the game's built-in API calls to query and compile the guild bank transactions within the timeframe specified. This does not interact with anything in the guild bank, whether items or currency. Using the guild bank raffle system ensures that there is a record available to all guild members of those that made a deposit.

For anyone concerned about Raffle Gold doing anything while in the guild bank, just keep in mind that you cannot access the settings menu, which is how you would interact with Raffle Gold, while using the guild bank.

The following Q and A directly pertains to the guild bank raffle option...

Can I make a deposit into the guild bank without buying raffle tickets?
Yes. You will just need to make a deposit that is not in increments of the entry price.
For example: if the entry price is $1k, $3,001 or $2999 would not count towards the raffle

Can I buy raffle tickets in bulk?
Yes. As long as the amount deposited can be divided by the entry amount it will be considered a raffle ticket purchase.
For example: if the entry price is $500, $9k and $16.5k would both be considered raffle ticket purchases

How are the raffle ticket numbers assigned?
In the order purchased, oldest to newest deposits.
For example: entry amount = 1k, price per ticket = zero
Guild Member #1 deposits 3k, they'd have ticket numbers 1, 2 and 3
Guild Member #2 deposits 1k, they'd have ticket number 4
Guild Member #3 deposits 5k, they'd have ticket numbers 5 - 9
Guild Member #1 deposits 2k, they'd also have ticket numbers 10 and 11

Why are there options to select just 1st, 2nd or 3rd place?
If you have any players that would like to donate to the raffle, but do not want to actually be selected during the drawing, you can use this feature to choose a different winner. It is recommended that you run for the entire raffle and update/replace anyone that was selected that didn't intend/want to be chosen.

Can I list items using Raffle Gold
No. But you could use the Raffle Unlimited addon that allows you to raffle items, gold (at a flat rate) and/or free raffle tickets (for the next raffle).

Will Raffle Gold interfere with other addons?
Raffle Gold will only scan your guild bank history when you draw and/or check the stats for the current raffle that is in-progress. It is a completely on-demand addon, and once it has compiled the information it will be dormant, until you run it again.

Limitations
  • Deposits that are made within the last minute might not appear when using the "Guild Raffle" to get the (current) results.
    Try waiting ~1 minute to use the "Guild Raffle" ability, which should include the deposit(s) in question.
  • The guild history on the server stores only 10 days worth of information, so it is important that this tool is used in a timely manner once a raffle has ended, to ensure that the information isn't lost.
  • Guilds that have plenty of guild bank transactions can take longer to build the information, but Raffle Gold will let you know in the chat window when it has finished and is ready for use.
  • There currently is no method for exporting in-game data to an external file, but any of the saved variables are stored in a file. IF you would like to access the information for the entrants when using the Guild Bank Raffle Drawing, the SavedVariables\RaffleGold.lua contains the entrant's information, i.e. entry number, username, number of tickets, amount deposited and raffle ticket number(s).
    The only issue is you will need to parse this information, if you would like to post it anywhere in a readable format. A parsing tool for Raffle Gold can be found at http://www.juliabedriy.com/rafflegold.html, where you can upload the raw LUA data file, found in the SavedVariables folder, directly into it.

If you do not have any conflicts with the game client and Raffle Gold, please ignore this message.

If you have upgraded to version 1.6.1, or higher, and you find that Raffle Gold is causing you issues, please delete the RaffleGold.lua file in the SavedVariables folder. You will need to reconfigure your raffle after deleting the file, but this should alleviate any issues caused by this addon.
Locate the "Elder Scrolls Online" folder in your Documents
For Windows: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\<version>\SavedVariables\
For Mac: ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/<version>/SavedVariables/
(replace <version> with the client you're using - "live" or "liveeu")
This corrects the over sized lua file that contains erroneous information.

Maybe you could look into this.
I just recently uploaded v1.6.1 and it is still pending, which is why Minion doesn't have it accessible, yet. Sorry for the inconvenience, but had I noticed any problems on my end I would not have released v1.6 until they were corrected.

Thanks for letting me know.

If you are not the guild master, and the guild master would like to participate, then you'll need to do one of three things...
Contribute to prize fund: IF you are a winner, then click "Draw..." for the place/prize that you won.

Deposit to guild bank, adding your gold, but excluding your name: Make deposits to the guild bank in increments that do not equal the "Entry Price" and increasing the "Starting Amount" to the amount you have deposited. For example, if the "Entry Price" is 500 gold then a deposit of 3001 gold would not be included and you could add 3000 to the "Starting Amount".

Deposit to guild bank, without contributing: Make deposits to the guild bank in increments that do not equal the "Entry Price". For example, if the "Entry Price" is 300 gold then 899 and 901 would not be included, but 900 would be.
(Edited to make the 3 options easier to see and read)

tl;dr - No. Yes. Click "Guild Raffle" and see the results in chat window.

The addon will not compose and/or mail any currency. My reasoning behind this is I have encountered various players that have various issues with mail addons and/or the game client. As we are dealing with currency/winnings that a player will be sending and another one will be receiving I felt, and still feel, that it is in everyone's better interest to be able to know that the winnings were truly sent.

In-progress Guild Raffle
Clicking "Guild Raffle" before a raffle has ended will display the current amount deposited, number of entries and tickets purchased.

Completed Guild Raffle
Clicking "Guild Raffle" once the raffle has ended will compile the entries and, once that has completed, clicking it again will draw the winners. The addon will display in the chat window the username(s), ticket number(s) and amount(s) won.

This is an on-demand addon and does not automatically run in the background. This is to keep it as lightweight as possible and to, in theory, not interfere with any other addons (I have yet to have a compatibility issue with any of the addons that I personally use).

The addon was made in a way that any member of a guild that offers raffles would be able to use it and see any of the information themselves, without the need of an officer to relay any information. It is also possible that one officer of a guild is doing the drawing and posting the results to the guild via the chat window while another officer mails out the winnings.

The one running now is from 2/13/16 to 2/19/16 and there has already been several deposits made already. This raffle has not been drawn yet so I am wondering if it is going to not count the raffle deposits before I had uploaded the file?

Also I am wondering if there is a way to keep track of the raffle deposits "during" the raffle, so that I can relay how much the prize has gotten up to so far?

Thanks for your help!!
tl;dr - If settings are fine, then just click Guild Raffle at any time and upload the LUA file using the previously described method for any entries.

I have not tried changing the "read-only" attribute on the LUA file and they currently appear as non-read only, although I am currently not in-game. As long as your "Entry Price", date range and any other options remain set then your LUA file should be fine.
In regards to deposits, the addon runs on-demand and does not store any of the guild bank history in it, other than any qualifying deposits that it found during the last time that it was run. The reason for this is simple, this addon deals with other player's currency and people can become VERY sensitive with things like that. As there are too many variables for me to reliably count on, the guild bank history is retrieved whenever a player logs on to a character and runs the addon. This is the most reliable solution that I could come up with to ensure that if the timeframe changes, your client crashed, you lost connection to the server, etc., that every possible deposit is checked for the currently specified timeframe to determine whether it qualifies for entry into the raffle. Basically, the addon will rebuild the entries whenever you run it to ensure that you have all raffle entries.

Of course. All you need to do is use the "Guild Raffle" functionality to have it build the information and it will display the information in the chat pane. An in-progress raffle will not display the winners, but will show you the total generated to date, number of entries and tickets. You can even use the slash commands to search for all entries by username and/or information on a specific entry, both will display the assigned raffle ticket numbers. A completed raffle will display the previously described information as well as the winners.
At any time during the raffle process, in-progress and/or completed, you can upload the LUA file have the parsing tool output all entrants, amount generated and winners (if complete).

You can see the following screenshots under the Addon Info tab, but figured I would put them here for reference. The first 2 screenshots are from an in-progress raffle and the last 2 are from a completed raffle...

So I didn't see the note about logging out of game before uploading the lua file. I logged out and removed the "read-only" from the lua but now I am wondering if this will affect the current raffle results from the raffle we are running now? The one running now is from 2/13/16 to 2/19/16 and there has already been several deposits made already. This raffle has not been drawn yet so I am wondering if it is going to not count the raffle deposits before I had uploaded the file?

Also I am wondering if there is a way to keep track of the raffle deposits "during" the raffle, so that I can relay how much the prize has gotten up to so far?

Thanks for your help!!
