Hi all, I’m back and working on addons again. Times are tough and I am desperately in need of financial support at the moment dealing with disability due to a bleeding brain cavernoma and other expenses on less than $600 monthly fixed income. If anyone can help, or knows anyone that can help, or can possibly feature some of my work on their stream to help drive support my way, I would be immensely grateful. It will help me to continue to bring cool content and updates to you all!

Version 4.36: ~Phinix

Non-English language translations are currently incomplete and will come in a later release. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs so I can squash them. I have done extensive testing however this was a MASSIVE code overhaul so there could still be some minor typos/quick fixes to make.

• Restored missing display mode options for many of the individual loot types.
• Changed "Half Extended" to "Alt Extended" to better reflect varied behavior.

Version 4.27: ~Phinix

• Merged in Masteroshi430's ESO classic theme and some other options and additions (like Seal of Endeavor tracking) from LootDrop Deluxe.
• Added new method of limiting on-screen loot window items, different from LootDrop Deluxe. More accurate + better performance. Can choose anywhere between 1 to 20 items shown at once before others scroll waiting their turn. Items that are scrolled past your limit waiting to be shown will not expire before showing, and instead will display for their full set duration once scrolled in and shown.
• Added new option to show the number of loot items remaining to be shown (based on your Max Loot Items setting above). Can be moved.
• Added new method of preventing duplicate loot items. Method in LootDrop Deluxe used OnUpdate() to do expensive functions which ran every frame, and was fairly performance intensive. The alternative method in LootDrop Reborn is event-driven and very performance friendly. In addition to preventing duplicates, it also enabled some awesome new features (see below).
• Added item total and value stacking for repeat-looted items. For example when you are doing a crafting survey, instead of just replacing a previous Rubedite Ore entry with the current one, LootDrop Reborn will increment the total Rubedite Ore looted since the item appeared in your LootDrop window and update the value displayed, until your timer expires for that item. Additionally, the value and Guild Trader values are also stacked, according to your value display options (stack value is added per loot if set). What this means is that at the end of looting all the items at the crafting survey, you will see: The total items looted, the total vendor value of those items (per item or per the whole stack looted) and the total Guild Trader value (again per item or per stack looted according to value settings). This works similar to how gold and XP gain values are stacked as you repeatedly acquire them.
• Significantly improved performance by adding a 100ms buffer to the OnUpdate() function.
• Added experimental fix for prematurely vanishing loot items (similar to LootDrop Deluxe only eliminating _inactive pool altogether and setting expired controls to nil.
• Added new custom icon for Guild Trader value, to differentiate it from the gold value icon.
• Improved the display of gold and Guild Trader value so the icons appear to the left of the total like with other loot items.
• Added "g" to the gold values added by the item value settings (vendor and Guild Trader values) for consistency with gold gains.
• Added option to Value section to show/hide the comma separator when showing both vendor and guild loot.
• Removed embedded LibAnimation and linked the required library on the addon page.
• Increased the allowable width of the loot window to allow for longer item names and option strings to show.
• Added new Preview Mode so you can see example loots scrolling constantly while setting your display options. Enable in addon settings or by keybind.
• Many other maintenance tweaks and improvements behind the scenes.
• Added language translations for new setting strings and edited for spelling/grammar.
• Fully supports Gamepad UI mode.
• Updated API for Ascending Tide and High Isles clients.

Semi-beta release. Stable in testing, but please report any issues with specific errors (if any) and steps to reproduce if possible.



Version 4.26: ~Phinix

• Updated for Deadlands. Fixed error related to changed function name.

Version 4.25: ~Phinix

• Updated API for Waking Flame update.

Version 4.24: ~Phinix

• Fixed the function to turn off the LootDrop GUI and only show loot in chat. Previous major update allows full configuration of what you want to see in chat separate from the loot window, so being able to toggle the GUI window completely off makes more sense now. You could also toggle off LootDrop's GUI and only show chat, but also enable the game's default loot history (though this makes less sense as LootDrop's is better.) Hide GUI option is under Loot Window Options in addon settings, or you can set a keybind to toggle it.
• Removed automatic disabling of the game's loot history, which may have caused problems for some people and limited configuration options.
• Other random updates and maintenance.

Version 4.22: ~Phinix

• Fixed telvar stone total popping up on login/zone change.
• Fixed a typo affecting transmute crystal display.
• Improved the display of skill updates with more information.

• Improved AP/RP to display "RP +0" with no additional info when adding/removing bank AP, when RP doesn't change.
• Fixed unchanged undaunted keys, transmute crystals, and event tickets showing in the loot window when traversing oblivion portals.
• Numerous improvements to display conditions for different types of loot/XP. Previously needed global tracking variables were eliminated where events return old and new values to compare.

Version 4.20: ~Phinix

• Further AP improvements: Added separate tracking of Rank Points to AP gain display strings.
• Fixed typo that made AP display use display setting for normal XP instead of AP.

Version 4.19: ~Phinix

• Fixed AP gains not properly reflecting increased values from AP increasing buffs. (Thanks Marazota for helping troubleshoot.)
• Fixed AP and Companion Rapport not showing correct gains the first time they change after a reload.
• Fixed Companion Rapport not properly updating resulting in wrong display values over time.

Version 4.18: ~Phinix

• Improved Companion XP support and added full Rapport support as well.
  Either can be enabled to show in the loot window and/or chat, without the limitation of other options
  where you must have it enabled in the loot window to see it in chat.
• Re-wrote much of the AP and XP tracking and display functions. Chat output will now show numerical gains and the percent to next level.
• Other general improvements and assorted maintenance for Blackwood release.

Version 4.17: (PTS test only.) ~Phinix

Version 4.16: ~Phinix

• Fix for double soul gem bug. Also fixed some cases where empty soul gems were not being shown.
• Version with companion XP support for Blackwood PTS is linked in the description.

• Added event filters to EVENT_INVENTORY_SINGLE_SLOT_UPDATE for improved performance.
• Various cleanup and maintenance.

Version 4.13: ~Phinix

Version 4.12: ~Phinix

Version 4.11: ~Phinix

• Fixed double display of soul gems looted from chests, mail, and other places.
• Marginally improved the performance of looting.
• Other minor adjustments.

Version 4.10: ~Phinix

• Fixed AP display (hopefully). Thanks Lexynide!
• API bump for Flames of Ambition.

Version 4.09: ~Phinix

• Fixed (hopefully) problem of totals for multiple item stack loot not displaying in Russian and possibly other non-English clients. Removed old string class filter from original addon function for displaying totals and replaced with compatible function which preserves the original addon behavior displaying multiples when looting stacks and not for single item loot.
• Added new Chat option to set how group names are displayed in chat loot (character name, account name, or both).

Version 4.08: ~Phinix

• Fixed an oversight that caused guild rep gains to ignore addon setting to stack multiple gains, and to always return 0 to the function that defines which guild the gain was for. This was especially annoying with Fighters Guild rep spam when killing many undead enemies, but all guilds have been properly linked up now as well.

Version 4.07: ~Phinix

• Added update routine to switch old boolean variable to new digit-based selection for value format to avoid errors when user had not yet manually changed the value. Also a couple other minor tweaks.

• Option to show values as per item or for the total number looted combined when looting mutliple of the same item at once.
• Added a new option "Show No Data Value" to the new Value section. Enabling this option (off by default) will display (No Data) when a trade value is displayed and none of your trade addons have data for the item. Turning this option Off will display nothing for these cases.

Version 4.04: ~Phinix

• Changed method of soul gem support to name matching which should make it work universally (hopefully).

Version 4.03: ~Phinix

• Added support for soul gems gained by Soul Trap, Soul Lock passive, or other such means.
• Added new option to show gold value of loot items (loot and chat separate).
• Updated API for Stonethorn.
• Some minor housekeeping.

Version 4.02: ~Phinix

• Removed final lingering dependencies on LibStub from the embedded animations library.
• Some other minor code maintenance.

Version 4.01: ~Phinix

• Corrected issue where actual loot drop entries for antiquity leads would not display in the appropriate color for their quality level like chat output.

Version 3.9: ~Phinix
