I started writing a loot editor for ingame (and haven't finished yet), but then I decided to fix a bunch of bugs. I figured I may as well release an interim version now for all of you who are annoyed with bugs...

As usual, please let me know of any problems.

Changelog:
== 0.3.0.20 (2/17/2009) ==
Features:
- The beginnings of a friendly ingame loot profile editor made it into this version. Only 'names' currently works. Loot profiles can still be edited with the external editor (and always will be).
- Item buffs cast by the macro are now tracked according to your character's age when you logout. This means that if the macro buffed your items when you were previously logged in, it will not have to rebuff them again until they are actually needed.

Fixes:
- Macro will now change targets faster if someone else kills what you are trying to attack with a spell
- Changed vtank's code so the game should no longer crash when using a vendor, though this is only a workaround for a bug in decal
- After choosing a new target in melee/missile mode, the macro will begin attacking sooner
- Melee/missile mode attacking should be a bit smoother now
- The spam telling you you do not know a buff spell will now only be displayed once per spell per time the macro is turned on
- Fixed the crash on AC exit
- Fixed a cause of "Error: The given key was not present in the dictionary."
- Fixed vuln behavior when DebuffEachFirst is All or Priority

Excellent !

in v...19 i couldn't get the ring spell to fire.


monster distance at 15, ring distance set at 10 and number of monsters at 2 (just to ensure that it would fire, becuase teh 5 or 6 i had it set at was too rare to fire for testing).


I 'thought' i remembered a variable/option to use/not-use rings but i can't see it on the /vt opt list nor with the advanced display.


so what bone headed stupid thing am i doing wrong?

Check the 'R' box in monsters

You probably don't want ring distance over 5...it will cast rings when stuff is not in range if you do.

see - what bone headed stupid thing am i doing wrong? - i was right.

I'm having far worse problems now with Vtank than before the latest patch and update to v.0.3.0.20. It was working so great last month.


As an archer, melee or mage, the time between attacking monsters is several seconds, instead of the near instant switching last month with v.0.3.0.19. After 45 minutes, the macro stops attacking, my graphics get stuttery and I eventually crash out of AC altogether. This happens on XP and Vista on a range of systems from P4s to macbooks running bootcamp. I'm not sure what else to submit to you to help you troubleshoot. Please let me know what else I can provide.


I'd love to help reach a solution. This plugin and loot profiling was fantastic and I'd hate to go back to that 'other' option.

Wow. Hrm.

That is strange indeed. This is after a lot of time hunting? I will have to try hunting for an extended period of time as a melee...I admit, I haven't done this because I don't really have a melee character that I use for more than a few minutes of testing.

In the meantime though, if you have problems, you can always switch back to 0.3.0.19. All previous public versions of VT are downloadable here: http://www.virindi.net/plugins/uttrac/wiki/vtoldversions

Thanks I'm at a loss for why things are acting up. Maybe I'm having a conflict with another plugin. I'll try messing around with it more tomorrow. 19 is working better for me right now, but I'll try and troubleshoot it more thoroughly tomorrow.

there were times with .19 as a mage i wanted to pull my hair out.


know that critter X is next and i've set monster type in list to use flame Rend wand for fire. so i switch to that wand and advance to attack.


gets in range, then proceeds to swith to wand W, back to flame rend, to W, to flame rend, to W to flame rend then attack.


WAS annoying. lucky most of these incidents were against monster nearly impossible to die against. Only thing i could figure it was switching for some new attack for an apporaching monster.


Haven't as yet seen it happen in .20; but then not really 'tested' .20 yet

It still does that sometimes. I haven't really figured out how to solve that yet.
