last cmputer i installed it on has castaway, VITank and shortcutMaker installed. it had been running for most of the day at mansion under castaway in buffbot mode and the memory config was about 117,xxxK when i stopped and logged out of AC.


removed VITank v25 or 23(which ever was the previous 'official' release, not the bundled beta version) and installed v 29. logged in and the memory useage was 166,xxxK


same location same plugins except for the ViT version upgrade. IT may not be significat it was just something I noted.

agnari, i am not saying it supports ucm, what I am saying is, it is useable for ucm and is used for it. Where am I giving disinformation? Seems you are the one doing that by claiming this plugin is holier than any other combat macro.


edit: whether it supports ucm or not isn't the issue. The issue is, it is unable to fellow players when it is used for ucming.

I have no data to back this up but I'd swear v-tank burns more plats than life-tank. anyway i can substantiate this?

Having an issue: I cannot bring up the Loot options window since the most recent update. I click the option ("Show Editor", and while it shows the option is checked, the icon does not appear. It previous did (and I had no problems using it).

Yes, I know. I still have to update the VTClassic plugin to have a names window.

earlier i reported a spike (50,000 to 80,000K) in AC memory usage as soon as v29 was installed.


i've run a few tests and later this evening i hope to de-install v29 go back to 23 and check it's status


standing around in an area with not much going on framerate is 15fps. start vtank (no activity such as buffing or kiling just standing same spot looking same scenery as the 15fps, it immediate jumps to 12fps and then slows starts dropping till it hits a stabilizing 5fps.


is there a huge block of debugging left in v29 all i'm using is the v29 none of the 'other vtools' so why am i taking such a big hit?

 

-----signature-----

No, it isn't any different. I'm not sure what the problem is.

as IF i'd have a clue j/k


more info on that original report, then the follow up. I was standing to the north of the wight barrow looking east out into the GY waiting for the wights to fade so we could start DeathTail in peace. MOVING while Vtank is running is like watching while a strobe light is firing - jerky stop action type of movement.


NEW tests/info


same char standing at the mansion facing the house seeing the door, stone and font of jojii


Nothing running just standing there watching the water flow

vtank 23 20-22 fps

vtank 29 20-22 fps


hot key vtank on (no activity as toon is fully buffed and no monsters, just vtank is now 'engaged'

vtank 23 17-19 fps

vtank 29 16-17 fps


do 180 and look out to the inner sea

vtank 23 37-39 fps engage vtank 31-32

vtank 29 37-39 fps engage vtank 24-27


so yes there is some degrading of the fps by going to v29 not necessairly as bad as i was experiencing in the GY but it is there and noticeable. HOW noticeable will depending on the environement. For a mage/archer standing in one spot not moving the impact may be anywhere from marginal to deadly.


For a melee toon apt to get dragged around some, I can see Huge problems IF the framerate drops as significantly as it did in the GY and the stop action jerkiness is occuring as it will affect attacking and healing.

more stats for you to consider


while out in the east caul lake i was again getting the 15ish fps. decided on a quick camera angle change, keypad 5 overview from above jumped to 42-44 fps. hot key vtank v29 on (again no buffing not action taken just go from vtank off to vtank running) with the same keypad 5 view, drops to 15 fps. stop vtank shoots back up to 44 fps.
