Making EQDKPlus Work with Old DKP System

Currently, the following DKP systems are supported:

• Normal DKP (Current = Earned - Spent + Adjustments)
• Effective DKP = (Earned - Spent + Adjustments) * Attendance in Time Period
• EPGP: Prio = EP / GP
• Suicide Kings Bottom = Suicide victim drops to last place in list.
• Suicide Kings Fixed = Raid attendees change positions with eachother.
• Suicide Kings = Suicide victim drops behind last raid attendee
• Zero Sum = Sum of all DKP is always Zero. Spent DKP will be distributed between other members
• NoPoints

Also, it is possible using the Auto Point Adjustments (APA) to add decay for the current standing, or for Raids, Adjustments or Items.

For changing the 30 days into 45 days, you can add your own column, following this article:

https://wiki.eqdkp-plus.eu/wik…lculation#Add_own_presets

Your settings should look like this: https://www.screencast.com/t/dqekFRFEgGgX

After that, you have to edit the effective dkp layout and add the newly created column to the points page.

Maybe it will come to an fatal error (dependent on your PHP version), then open the file core/data_handler/includes/modules/read/effective_dkp/pdh_r_effective_dkp.class.php and change line 107 to:

This will be fixed with the next release (https://github.com/EQdkpPlus/c…195b477226f70a44eade623ad)

Okay, the easier solution is the one you already made - change the days directly at the EDKP Layout

But if you want raid attendance based on the 45 days, you can create a new column.

Make sure the starting time of the apa is back 45 days, if the raids have the current date.

The question is also:

How are your apa settings and function, and what do you want to achieve?

If you want to achieve "The Raids older than 45 days should be zero", than this is currently not possible, because the Decay currently implemented says "Decay value everything the APA is executed (e.g. every week)", and you can just say the everything older x Months should be zero. The "x Months" part is the thing that would not fit the 45 days.

I see why it is not working... Due to a new Caching Layer introduced with 2.3, the APA type for Raids, Items and Adjustments is not respected for the points.

I think I need a few days to implement a fix for this.... The whole APA thing is unfortunately not trivial...

Directly changing values in the Database is also not recommended, because the caches do not get cleared. Also, the new current point status of members is also not changed, as it saved precalculated.
