thanks this helped one issue i was having...

New to Vtank, new back to the game too. I've made my first melee toon, which is a 2handed. I'm getting used to things that I knew how to do in other programs so this may be obvious and i'm just missing it. LifeTank had an option to only attack mobs on the same ground level. This helped a lot in certain areas. As I type this my new guy is looting scrolls in a tusker dungeon, but he keeps selecting ones that are on the level below me. Then he runs in circles trying to get to it. What should I look at to fix this. I know it has to be someplace, I just can't find where....

Thanks

I would start with adjusting the Monster range, something around 5 is usually what I run for my melee, you can find that on the Options tab of Vtank.

I noticed this same behaivor on a single level the other day. I had looting disabled at first without noticing it and had left a long line of unlooted corpses behind me, when I turned looting on, my toon took off running to the start of my trail (way past the attack/approach range distances).

Stoping/Starting the macro did not clear it at first either. Stoping and waiting a couple mins then starting did clear it (or it was simply a matter of time that fixed it and some timeout expired).


I found that enabling "LootPriorityBoost" solves the problem. Along with having looting already enabled when you begin killing the first mob, hehe =)


Hmm, that mob on a different level of the dungeon was your kill right? If it wasn't then you need to change LootFellowCorpes and LootAllCorpes options to False.


All 3 of these options are on the "Advanced" Panel under "Looting".

Thanks for the replies, but these are live mobs who have the lighter color on the radar due to being higher or lower. (in this case lower) I do have it set to 5 but the mob is directly below me in some cases and I guess within 5(feet, meters, whatever).

The dungeon is tusker cavern and there are passages that you enter from the middle of the floor down into a tunnel. It's any tusker that might wander into the tunnels that i keep getting stuck on.

Now I'm sticky to a corner so I'm not near the tunnels, but I'd like to run around and get the mobs on the other side that may not agro over to me.

If it isn't something I'm missing I'll figure out a way to work around it, just figured that since the "same level" feature was so useful in Ltank it would have made it's way here as well.

Any particular reason why my comps huds keep being replaced with an empty one. The file shows it hasn't been changed, but i keep losing everything I've saved. This happens regularly, so much that I'm ready to stop using it entirely. What causes this to happen?

Anyone know why my autocram keeps trying to put everything into one side pack. It does not go to the next empty pack once it is full. It just sits there and says pack it full.

OK i've pretty much got my last issue solved and things have been running pretty smoothly on my melee toon.

Tonight I was running with my mage and want to change a few things.

Here is what I want to do, hopefully someone can tell me HOW to do it.

I want to buff with all level 8s, but i want to use only level 7 WAR. I've read the wiki and it kind of tells you how to change the skill check to force it into a lower level, but it seems to be global. I don't see a way to force a lower level just for wars.

Basically I want to do this because being new back to the game I cannot afford the scarab burn of 8's of course casting so many wars, I burn much more of them.

Anyone know how to do this?

there is in the advanced settings a threshold type figure that you can adjust that will determine based on you buffed skill minus this value which war spell to cast.

yes but isn't that setting global? so if i raise the required spell skill won't it then not cast any 8's at all? or is it a setting for each magic school?

re-reading the FAQ part about the spells it looks like I should be able to set it up like this, tho still not exactly the way I would like.

Does anyone have what settings I should use to make sure I only cast level 7 wars even though my war magic is spec'd and maxed with all the epic trimmings?

As a side note after using Vtank for a couple of days and using eltank and Ltank before this. Here is what I'm seeing.

Vtank seems to do it's job better and faster than others I've used. Looting and salvaging are VERY fast, I'm very happy with the program from a performance standpoint.

What I am less happy with is the user interface. This is where a program like Ltank seems to be much easier to use. With simple dropdown menues to choose to cast level 7 war, level 8 buffs, level 7 heals, stam2mana and revites.

Same goes for the looting plugin. Wow it works great, so many ways to configure it to get EXACTLY what you want. GREAT! the only problem is you almost have to be a programmer to figure it out. If it wasn't for the example files and being able to tweak those some, I'd be looting manually.

So what I guess I mean is this.

Great Job on this bundle! Works better than any other.

As a feature request, I'd love if you could put a little into simplifying the user interface. It is a powerful program with a lot of options and features packed in. The learning curve is quite steep if you plan to go anywhere past the most basic operation however.
