It removes the old brown decal bar entirely

Multiple views -- back in the day, you could only have one decal view active at a time. I guess because some users liked it that way, we made it a toggle setting and never removed it.


Adjust view radar is a poorly described feature that was used to prevent the decal bar from drawing under the radar. Ever since ToD changed the graphics engine, Decal has been able to draw on top of any part of the AC game ui -- it used to only be capable of drawing on top of the 3d view.


Alternate injection method is just a different way to get Decal to load into AC.


Disable view rendering completely stops the view rendering system from even trying to render views. If you have any plugins with views, they will still run but their views still not show up at all.

So I'm now on Day 2 of trying to replace Alinco, and run into a few snags. First, I love your LootSnob profile, immortalbob, now that I understand it. Thank you for this useful resource and the helpful titles, too. I thought it was completely broken at first because I was enabling the "categories" that say ****Weapon**** and such and it was picking up everything, but I eventually figured it out =P

I'm still left with questions on my quest to fully replace Alinco, though...

- When I just want a loot searcher (and not buffing, macro, or any other feature) I still have to turn on VirindiTank but uncheck all the boxes for pathing, macro, combat, buffs, idle mode, etc to not have those features interfere with my gameplay. VT also generates quite a bit of lag while doing this even though all features except looting are unchecked. Is there a better way to do this, or is this how everyone uses the plugin when they only want the looting features?

- When I'm looting a corpse, it opens it, searches, grabs, and closes so quickly that I often miss what happened. This is a great testament to its speed, but I miss the way Alinco had a chat line for each item that popped up and was picked up by the search so I can see what I just picked up. It's also nice to have that loot line to link to trade channels. Is this an option I can turn on somewhere?

- With this search/loot/close speed, I'm afraid to open something like a casino chest that may get closed immediately before I have a chance to look through the "sub-standard" loot and it relocks. Or, I may kill a quest boss and the plugin opens the corpse, loots, and closes before I have a chance to pick up any quest items that aren't on my trophy list. Is there an option to leave the last-opened corpse/chest open until closed manually?

- Alinco has this transparent UI window that shows names of items that match the search parameters, and also all corpses not yet opened. This feature is most useful to me for the corpse aspect, especially, but I can't find any aspect of VT or related plugins that do this. Can this Alinco feature be duplicated with the plugins in this bundle?

I know all these questions may relate to several different plugins, but they are all part of my goal of replacing Alinco with only modern, up-to-date apps. Thank you for all your help so far... maybe when it's all done I'll really write a "replacing Alinco for dummies" guide

Check out mag tools it will do most of that. Also when searching for unopened corpses I mapped one of my mouse keys to select next unopened corpse in the ac keyboard config.

When using chests I turn the macro off .. I've set the "break/pause" key as my on/off switch ... press that key once and then loot chests or manually loot a corpse that has something you like that didnt get picked up (I do this for colo mini bosses, or I see a cloak that I want to check out on a corpse) ... having said that I've never seen it close a chest while I have it open .. but turning it off for peace of mind would work for you :-)

You'll be an expert on looting soon and be teaching us how to use it I'm sure mate ... hang in there :-)

Billy, you can easily add trophies to the loot profile, clone any other trophy rule and change the parameters to match

Remove the [all peas] entry from your consumables tab in vtank. This 'lag' is a known bug.

I am looking to make it so Looter will pick up the pyreals on the corpses. I have attempted to write a rule for this... Any ideas?
