Hi,

we are a german guild using the SK System for a couple of times now for our raids. We are all very satisfied, that the trouble about loot vanished.

But there are one or two things I want to announce: due to many of our players are not so good in english language, we did not yet introduce the automated bidding-system because of its english dialogues. Everyone who has need on an item whispers the list-master "need" and he checks the list, who is first. Now, after a couple of raids, the list becomes a little confused. There we miss the "hide offline players"-button.

The other - and better - idea is, to translate the whole auto-bid dialogue into german. I am able to provide you the whole translated thing so you would only have to copy and paste. Do you think that's possible?

best regards,

fabian

With this "hide" button, it would be great if positions displayed were relative positions, not absolute ones (I think about these messages "<1> is the new high bidder at position <2>" and "Your position is ...").
e.g. :
The list is :
1-JohnDoe (missing)
2-JaneDoe
3-MisterX (missing)
4-MissNotHere (missing)
5-MickeyMouse

With the "hide" button, list should be :
1-JaneDoe
2-MickeyMouse (bid)
and message would be : "MickeyMouse is the new high bidder at position 2", and not "at position 5".
The same with the "suicide" command : "JaneDoe, your position is 1" (instead of "2")

The hide-players thing sounds like a great feature. I will add it to the feature request sticky.

As far as German translation, I rely on volunteers to do all my translations. Both the French and German translations have fallen very behind. If you would like to help out, it's pretty easy. In fact, let me make a sticky post about this...here:

OK I will do the german translation within the next days.

One more question: for the automated bidding-system the words "bid" and "retract" - do they need to be kept? I mean, does the addon only understand these english words? Or can they also be translated?

best regards,

That'll be a little more of a pain, because those are hard coded strings, and I have not pulled them out into localization.lua. If you have some programming experience, you could maybe try it yourself, or else I will do it on the next release.
