Thanks for all the work you are doing on vtank.


I have a couple of questions:


1. Can you boost the looting priority? In other words like lifetank, once a crit is killed, the corpse is immediately looted. If you have that option, I don't quite know how to do it. All I can do is wait until all crits within radius are done and then it starts looting


2. On looting, if a crit is far, how do you set the system to run to it and loot?


3. Where is the buff profile? What spells are being cast?


5. I can only use the loot profile outside the system. Is that true? And I don't quite understand all the variable setups. Seems a bit hard. Is there an explanation somewhere?


6. Is there a user manual somewhere? That can solve a bunch of my questions...


7. Is there an option to black;ist bad targets?


8. Mob profile is great. May be great to add wall spells...


THANKS AGAIN!!! GREAT WORK

1. Not yet. I plan to add that at some point.

2. Set approach range and enable navigation.

3. All creature spells for skills you have trained are cast. Protects and banes can be set by the buffprofile_prots and buffprofile_banes advanced options.

4. You skipped 4

5. Yes. Looting is not in a finished state at the moment; eventually I want it to be easy to use. Right now it is pretty much functional, but difficult for the average person to set up. I did write something about it a long time ago, it may help you, it may not: http://www.virindi.net:8080/plugins/junk/ut2loottutorial/

6. A few details are listed here http://www.virindi.net/plugins/uttrac/ but again I have chosen to work on the plugin more than I have on the documentation

7. No. Is there a particular place where you are having that problem? I have discovered that 'bad targets' tend to occur almost exclusively at a small number of places...such as the middle of the pit in PotB and the Moars platform on the vesayens. I plan to look at this more in the future.

8. The problem with wall spells is that they depend on a number of factors...ie, the monster cannot be too close to you, monsters move around and if they are moving toward the wrong thing they may be easily missed, etc. It would be nice to deal with that at some point but it seems like a large obstacle.

I've determined thus far that the plugin is mage friendly. It errors with archers and melees with the out of memory message. It mentioned something about writing the error to some log but I haven't been able to find the log. I don't know if this helps you...hopefully it might

Yeah I think I figured out the memory problem. Strangely enough the .net garbage collector is not being called under some circumstances...so the next version will force the .net GC to collect.

Hi,

for the last 3 days I have been using the plugin with my melee (spear - no magic yet).

It works quite well for me.. no error messages at all. But then it does slow down a bit after 45 minutes or so... generally noticable when done killing 1 creature and moving to the next. Its not a showstopper, but could be a tad faster?

Keep up the good work!!!


(I actually have NOT tried the plug in with my mage yet...)

1. GREAT NEWS

2. THANKS

3. OK

4.

5. THAT WAS QUITE HELPFUL, THANKS

6. OK

7. WELL, YES, I HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE THE MACRO CONTINUES TO HIT THE WALL IF THE CRIT IS RIGHT BEHIND IT AND IT DOES NOT ATTACK A CRIT THAT IS RIGHT NEXT TO IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. ALSO A TARKET THAT IS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL, RIGHT ON TOP MAY APPEAR AS VERY CLOSE, THEREFOR THE MACRO FOCUSES ON IT. THOSE ARE TWO AREAS OF THE MACRO I'M FINDING A WEAKENESS IF I CAN CALL IT THAT.


8. I SEE THE PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND


I find the DOJiggle functionality FANTASTIC. Too bad it has to stop to cast when we know already that it is possible to cast by using the SHIFT+XC SHIFT+XZ keys. If I can give a couple of recommendations there: a. Have a set sticky option so the macro self corrects position wise; it currently changes location to the right... b. I do wonder if you can set the speed or the length of the jiggle. I find that it is almost there but not quite as far as evades..c. One other parameter you may find interesting to add is a DOJiggleDistance parameter where if the macro detects a crit within that distance, it continues to Jiggle??? TO give you an example. If you set your Monster range to 5 it stops the jiggle when crits at distances of 40 can bolt you. 4. For healers, it may be helpful to have the macro jiggle if a crit is within a certain range, one other possibility I find very helpfull.


OVERAL, this is awesome and thanks very much Virindi...

Anyone who is interested feel free to test out this version, it should fix some of the memory issues:

How about for wall spells, if got a certain critter set for using walls VT selects the correct wand and spell and just starts throwing them in direction (without targeting) your facing. Since we are supposed to be at the keyboard while running this would be fine. We could point our character wherever we want the walls to go, manually adjusting as needed. Would be perfect for Col runs I'd think. Would also be nice if had a second button to say for this critter no matter the wand used throw tusker fists if known and have.


Also be real nice if could set up a key (say the PrtScn key) to enable/disable the wall suppost. Thus allowing us to quickly switch from walls to single attacks (again thinking of Col runs) when mobs mostly beat down.

Ok I installed your latest test version...I'll let you know how it does....

How Long till the "working Non Beta Version will be coming out??


Have you thought about what you and i were talking about Re: Dispelling the Bad spells. Choosing whether you dispell just life or just Critter or DO 'em Both.


Anyways.... Looking forward to your next "working version". If it works anything like the past versions, then we are all in luck. I am looking forward to it.....


Nighters V I See next we are online at the same time again
