Look on the Downloads page just under where it says recommended downloads. Alinco3D.msi is listed there and shows that it was posted on November 22nd. The page says 1.0.1.8, but once installed it does say 1.0.1.9.

Then i do have the latest. Any idea why vtank isn't picking up rares then? It seems to grab everything else properly. Though I have been fighting some low level stuff to get weapons for my new guy and notice it will randomly grab some lame xbows and bows. They have no mana usually and not part of any profiles and the value is low. It is a rare thing. Still trying to figure that one out.

I have this exact issue as well. I run vtank with Alinco (latest version) - it does not pickup rares. I believe the issue is with Alinco, when I turn off Alinco - vtank picks up rares just fine.


I have the latest versions of Alinco and vtank. I have also tried re-installing Alinco - no success.

If i stop vtank and open the corpse again Alinco will pick up the rare.

Have you tried not running Alinco and using vtank to loot? Does that work? I've never tried pausing vtank and manually opening the corpse and seeing if Alinco picks up the rare - I'll try that when the situation comes up again.


Perhaps the issue is somewhere in between vtank and Alinco.

Vtank has the ability to allow Alinco to take over looting altogether. There is just a hitch somewhere that stops it from picking up rares. If I had to guess, both plugins are trying to pickup the rare at the same time.

This is not accurate.

VTank does not contain any code that loots anything, except for unknown scrolls, mana stones, and mana tanks to fill those stones. What it does is ask the selected lootplugin about each item on a corpse to see if it should be looted.

If stuff is properly lootable with VTClassic but not Alinco, it is very likely to be a problem with Alinco.

If a bug occurs similarly while using either loot system, it is likely to be a problem with VTank.

I believe this issue to be the former since I have never had a problem picking up rares with VTClassic.

Is there a good faq for the vtank classic looter?

Could it be that vtank is looting faster than alinco can go through its steps to get to where it looks for rares?
