Gentlemen's Club Gambler (GCG) fixed for 5.4.7

[Azotorp]

UPDATED FOR 6.0.3!

I updated the GCG addon to allow players to make rolling faster and easier.
It also shows a log who won and who owes them money, this is great when you forgot how much you owe someone because chat scrolled to far away.

A few screenshots:

Player Mode (If you are participating in a GCG game)




Leader Mode (If you are hosting a GCG game)

Thank you!!! This Addon is the only thing that is holding our raid together!

[Eversi]

Oh my eff I love you. So much.

Just a random question. I had a gambler addon that allowed you to set the channel to Raid or a custom chat channel "Gambler". Any idea how they did this or if you could add something like that in?

[Azotorp]

Not too sure but I'm not the developer of this addon, I just felt the need to fix it. However even if I could setup a channel or would still require you to be in a party or raid too see everyone's roles. Unless you have the add-on roll for you, but then ppl could call bullshit

[Eversi]

Understandable. We only really want to use the channel to keep raid chat clear.

You champion!

Anyone care to explain what the addon does?

It's like this (haven't used it for a couple of months so text won't be exactly the same).

[Raid][ProGuy]: Starting New Casino Game. Type 1 To Enter.
[Raid][Herp]: 1
[Raid][Derp]: 1
[Raid][Hurr]: 1
[Raid][ProGuy]: Last Chance!
[Raid][Durr]: 1
[Raid][ProGuy]: Roll Now
Herp rolls 10 (1-100).
Derp rolls 20 (1-100).
Hurr rolls 30 (1-100).
[Raid][ProGuy]: Durr still needs to roll.
Durr rolls 40 (1-100).
[Raid][ProGuy]: Derp wins! Herp owes Durr 30g.
[Raid][ProGuy]: Total 1. Durr 30g
[Raid][ProGuy]: Total 2. Herp -30g

It's basically that (the addon would automate ProGuy in the example).

It is actually really fun, like if you're waiting for someone to log, or someone has DC'd or you're having a break in a raid etc.

I thought gambling in game was "banned". I'm not complaining about this addon or anything like it, nor supporting such a ban, just thought it was thats all.

That's actually a really valid point, I never thought of it like that.

I wouldn't know to be honest.

Anyone care to explain what the addon does?

Person running the addon chooses how much the gamble will be for example 1000g, the addon collects who wants to take part once that is done people would manually roll 1-1000 (or whatever amount has been set up for the bet)

If you had five people playing and they rolled as follows
A 562
B 781
C 329
D 132
E 146

Player D would owe player B 649 gold (781-133)

It's a bit of fun for groups of people that know each other, it's against the ToS much the same as swearing in chat is, I would swear in chat in a guild group without the expectation of being reported the same as I wouldn't expect a guildmate to report me for using this, as with anything against the ToS you do it at your own risk.

Maybe if OP changes the name to GentlemansPrivateClub instead... might make it less obvious what it does, I mean called Gentlemans Club Gambler I still had to ask. If I'm honest I had hoped it was for more intersting options like "How long we take to kill the first 4 bosses in SoO, place your bets" or "Who will do the most damage on this fight" or even "Who will win this duel?"

Whoever is running those bets must be cleaning up! Wow, 5k gold minus 649... thats 4k+ gold profit

[Azotorp]

Well again I'm not the owner or creator of this addon, my guild uses it and we all mutually agree that we gamble at our own risk and its not for anyone to make a profit, as the host of running the gamble session I have just as much chance to loose as to win. Its not those scams that have you roll 1-100 and 59 to 90 u double money and 91 to 100 you tripple, those are scams. House always wins there, no money gets traded until we have a winner and looser. If your rolls are higher than the lowest and lower than the highest, you don't have to do shit. Even if you loose, and don't want to pay up we just ban you from rolling next time. And brand you without integrity lol. Or just not give u loot haha

[Eversi]

It's named Gentlemen's Club Gambler because the creator was from Gentlemen's Club on Korgath. Hence, GCG. He still helps out on their forums with people updating the addon to support extra languages and such.

But yes. This addon gets us through trash and break time in the middle of raid. Love it. <3

[Azotorp]

Added a new feature: Whispers if your the highest roll and if your the lowest roll

[meroko]

For those saying this will get you banned it will not. the only thing against ToS is public gambling as in over general chat or trade for example. private gambling via raid/party is not against ToS.

[Anuibus]

advertising gambling across public channels is against the ToS, not gambling itself. GMs won't help you though in any case.

I think I made the edit you're talking about. I haven't actively played in a long time but if someone wants to update my version they're free to go at it.
Just a heads up, I'm not very well educated in lua so it might be a bit messy and lacking in commenting.

You did almost zero changes to the original gcg source code. I read through your work.. With the exception of adding a few extra variables arg7 arg8 and arg9 and taking out the -1 to withdrawl from the roll and changing every reference GCGambler and replacing it with ChaosGambler the work you put in was very limited. I also didn't see anywhere in your code where you would handle the string better to remove the additional realm information after the user who is trying to gamble.

In my opinion don't download ChaosGambler as it will not help resolve the problem with the connected realms.
