Guild Launch News
Upcoming Raid Tracker Changes - Required Updated
NOTE: This announcement deals with changes coming on the Morning of January 14th.
In Guild Launch Version 5.3 we will be releasing an enhanced version of CT_RaidTracker. This version includes an improved export method, some fundamental mod changes, and some changes to options in the "/rt options" screen that must be set for imports to work properly.
Due to these changes, the new version will be a *required* version upgrade. In addition, raid strings exported in the old format will not import. The old import method will be available for one release cycle. We're not ready to announce all of the new functionality but I can assure you all that the changes will improve imports and mod operation appreciabley.
Currently this update is planned for Wednesday, January 14th.
We're excited about the Rapid Raid changes in 5.3. While many of them are subtle changes their cummulative effect is significant.
Enjoy!

Any chance it will also be renamed so as not to be confused in WoWMatrix with the original Raid Tracker add-on?

Any chance that this version will have the ability to put in certain items to exclude? I'm referring to things like badges. Its currently a pain in the a#% to go in and delete every single badge that is looted before or after import. It would be great if you could add items to a list so that the raid tracker does not even ask how much dkp for them.
Amane, the current raid tracker has that ability.
Use this command in-game:
Code:
/rt io [item link]
That will add an item to the Item Options window. Select the item and choose not to track it.

The existing version has the ability to do this. You just need to be able to shift click the item and type "/rt io [itemlink]". The issue is that *blizzard* changed things so that Badges aren't shift clickable easiily. Some people are using the "Make an Item Link" feature of WoWHead to add items to the Raid Tracker exclusions.
Regardless of that, the new version has the most common badges excluded by default, you can then choose to allow them or not.

EQ doesn't support mods. We have other functionality for importing raid dumps from EQ on the Event creation pages of Rapid Raid.

does this only work in WoW or will it work with EQ as well?

We are renaming it GL_CT_RaidTracker. We don't want to remove the attribution, but it needs to have it's own name. I did the rename on Friday and ran some regression tests without any issues, so we're good on this front.

Is there still a need to call it "CT_RaidTracker" since the CTMod group maintains their own version? Wouldn't this be more of a GL_RaidTracker at this point?

A simple work around for this would be to uncheck the autoloot function in your interface. The badge hence will not be auto looted and thus...shift click into /rt io XXXX at your leisure...
Turn the autoloot feature back on there-after...

If you want to continue using the modded CT_RT for importing raids into rapid raid, you will need to update your addon with the upcoming release (later on, today),
You don´t need to rush, as old versions will still import for some time, but you better do it as soon as possible.
I guess that´s pretty much it. Right, Stephen?
iam confuse i need to upgrade what and were
