Arbiter Soft Reserve

Soft reserve without handing out one item at a time.

Arbiter Soft Reserve (ASR) adds soft reserve sessions to Arbiter Loot Council. At the end of the raid the loot master collects all the loot, everybody answers on every item, and the addon works out who wins what. The loot master looks at the result, accepts it and hands everything out in one go.

In development (alpha). So far you can import your softres.it list and see who reserved an item in its tooltip. The sessions, the rolls and the result window come next. Requires Arbiter Loot Council.

1. Import the list. Export your soft reserves from softres.it as CSV and paste them into the addon before the raid.
2. One session for the whole night. The loot master starts all the items together. Everybody sees all of them and answers MS, OS or Pass. The ones who reserved an item are marked.
3. Resolve. The loot master presses one button. The addon rolls for everybody who answered and applies the rules:
   • Those who reserved the item and did not pass roll first. A reserver who changes their mind and passes is out, and the item is open for everybody.
   • Copies left over go to the open MS rolls, then to OS.
   • With more players than copies the highest rolls win: three copies and five reservers means the three highest rolls get them.
   • A tie is never decided by the addon. Reroll rolls again for the players who tied, and only for them.
4. Everybody sees every roll. A result window shows all rolls to everybody, so the ones who lose can see that it was fair. It is kept in the history.
5. Award all. The loot master accepts the result, and the trade queue and the trade window of Arbiter Loot Council do the rest.

Because ASR is built on Arbiter Loot Council, a guild can run a Loot Council on some bosses and soft reserve on others in the same raid. Players who only answer need Arbiter Loot Council; the loot master needs both.

• Reads the CSV export of softres.it (item, player, class, spec, note).
• A reserve lists a first name ("Allemano"); a character on WoW Forever has a surname ("Allemano Moo"). They are matched on the first name.
• Export as CSV from softres.it. That is the one supported format.

• Import: /asr import opens a box; paste the CSV export of softres.it and press Import. The list is saved between sessions.
• Tooltips: every item tooltip gets a line, "Soft reserved by: Allemano, Erikdbest", with the names in their class colours. /asr tooltip off turns it off.
• Commands: /asr shows what is loaded, /asr clear forgets the list.
• Behind the scenes, and tested but not yet connected to any window: the rules for the winners, the rerolls, and the model of a whole session (answers, Resolve, the result, the awards).

• Made for WoW Forever (interface 16001).
• Needs Arbiter Loot Council. If the CurseForge app does not install ASR into the right folder, download the file from the Files tab and unzip it so that the folder is World of Warcraft_classic_beta_InterfaceAddOnsArbiterSoftReserve.
• No data leaves the game. The addon sends nothing to any website; it reads text you paste in.
• Designed, directed and tested by Allemano, with AI assistance (Claude) for much of the code. See CREDITS.md.
