We could probably slap together some templates to be used by everyone.


I'll work on creating generic strings for the following (which we actually pretty much have now!):


Find: This

Find: This or That

Find: This but NOT That

Find: This or That, but NOT These nor Those

Find: NOT This

Find: NOT This nor That


Once the templates are posted, you copy paste them and put your own words inplace of "This, That, These, Those".

Yeah it's a spaceship but don't most people need a training course or two or two hundred to fly those?

Where is the logic in creating a tool to make everyone's life easier that is so complicated it requires the average user to beg for assistance on the forums? Madness... *facepalm*
I've never seen anyone asking here or anywhere else how to set up something in alinco. The guy that wrote it obviously did it from the point of view of the majority of players. In the case of the VTCL, lol not so much if at all was the average person taken into consideration. I guess the thing that really gets my goat is how these tech guys seem to come across as sitting back with this smug elitist aire and tell us normals we are all a bunch of idiots and don't deserve to use their plugins.

Don't misunderstand, I love the virindi bundle and mag-tools I just hate the hard headed knee jerk reactions of the developers and techies when a regular person asks for help with something that is far too complicated. No considersation. No looking at it with an open mind and thinking hmm this just might be kinda hard to grasp for most of the people I wrote it for. No. Just things like "Make an easier to use editor? What's the point? LRN 2 G4M3 N3WB LAWL!" I really really really really hate that.

At least PicaroLC is trying to help and I commend him for that. Thank you sir. All the others in here (including the devs) that dismiss us out of hand as if we are stupid insects, that's just not cool.

you have to understand Vtank was orginally written for one person, the author Virindi, including the classic looter. When other tank plugins stopped working or half worked she released it for everyone to use.

So orginally it wasn't written in mind for the average (below average in some cases like me lol) user. She graciously released it and many more enhancements to it over time. Be happy with what you got, not knocking it.

You can have vtank use the alinco profile so if want easy, then use it that way and you have your in game interface.

Agreed. Although now that Alinco is probably gonna be completely dead next month a lot of us are trying to get the classic looter working ahead of time. Most of the frustration from the users is probably due to being forced into a change that we barely understand.
