isn't PORTAL TANK the hacked copy of another plugin by someone that doesn't give credit and it's questionable about the contents?? (as virus or keylogger).

Hey VI. I have a quick question. How much trouble would it be to add something to Vtank that would enable us to configure looting in game on the fly? That way people could drop alinco and just use your great tools? With the rare looting problems that come from the two working together, im scared im gonna miss one of these uber armor rares/weapons. I rarely leave the computer when im macroing, but I do admit to watching tv while sitting here.

Love everything you have done with your plugin and can't wait to see what improvements you have in store for it.

EDTIT: VI, something that Machineofmorningthaw posted up there caught my attention. When the macro tries to shoot at something on the other side of a wall that it can't get to, couldn't you have vtank look for a war spell/melee attack damage/resist/evade message, and if it doesn't see one after say 2 or 3 attempts, abort the attack and continue on? Maybe put that critter on a short do not attack list or something to that effect? Just a suggestion. Think an old macro I used to use had this feature built in it. May have been warbot if I remember correctly.

Oh yeah, since i've typed out a short novel for you, i'll throw this out and ask again. Any change of heart on slowing looting down just a tad, or adding a user configurable timer, say 2-4 seconds?

Ok, done now. Thank you VI.



Would be like blacklisting bad mobs in lifetank. In lifetank if you shoot at a mob I believe 5 times and never hit it, it blacklists the mob and stops attacking it. I don't think he'll add it since its considered a ucm option.

It's not really a ucm thing. I was refering to a poster a few posts above this one, who had a character following, and it would attack critters on the other side of a wall instead of continuing on behind the leader.


And since Vtank doesn't have "select target on same level" option, this would help a lot in certain dungeons.

I just downloaded VTank for the 500 tusker guard quest since I really dont feel like doing this quest manually for the 4th time. Is there any way to have VTank use level 1 drains, especially drain stam. Im sitting here watching the macro run and have been thinking how inefficient it is for my mage to cast revitalize self rather than just drain stam.


I cant find any place to add these spells or make them a preference when stam/health is low.


Any help?


Thanks

I think I read this somewhere in this thread but can't find it now - I believe there is a way to loot\learn unknown level 7 scrolls on a toon with low skill. Is there a switch for this in advanced options and if so, how should it be set?

No, there isn't. To do that I'd need to come up with a good way to differentiate between no-skill-required scrolls and normal scrolls. I don't really want to make a list...

I thought lvl 7s were like 8s no skill check in learning.

Totally understood.


Are there any other Utilitizies that you know of that may have this ability?


With respect to Agnari's comment - if I pick them up myself I can learn them assuming I don't know them already - I'd like to be able to only pickup (auto loot) the ones I still do not know.


Thanks so much for responding.

alicno3 has the ability to pick up known spells for schools you have or for a 'pool' of all your toons.
