Is it possible to build your own custom routes in GA? For instance, on Moarsman Island, I want to build a route so I can click on the arrows to show the direction to the next item or thing I have to kill.

GoArrow wasn't designed to let you do this, but if you really want to, you can "hack" the settings file to make it load a route you want.


Basically, any time you want to load a custom route, you'd need to log out, modify your settings file, then log back in. In the settings file, find the <arrowTarget> node and replace its contents with:


<arrowTarget>

<route routeIndex="0" distance="0">

<loc id="-1" name="First Location" type="Custom" NS="51.2" EW="-42.5" />

<loc id="-1" name="Second Location" type="Custom" NS="50.8" EW="-45.1" />

<loc id="-1" name="Third Location" type="Custom" NS="52.4" EW="-48.7" />

<loc id="-1" name="Fourth Location" type="Custom" NS="52.0" EW="-41.5" />

<!-- etc... -->

</route>

</arrowTarget>


A few notes: all the locations should have id="-1". For NS: north is positive, south is negative; for EW: east is positive, west is negative. I don't have an AC subscription, so I can't test to see if this works. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

There is a much simplier way to do this. Copy the text below as a file on your c: drive (e.g. C:\lord.txt). Then in AC type @loadfile c:\lord.txt. Then you can click on the coordinates one at a time to do the quests. I would recommend a fellowship panel open before the text spams so there will be no other text present.

Ahhh.. yeah, that would be much more simple. Right now, I have my buff bot set up to respond to "rocks" and it will send you the location of all of them.

Yeah I guess that works too


It could get annoying when you have to scroll up to see the route, or have to re-paste that text... though less annoying than logging out and editing the settings file.


It would be nice if there were a way to set a custom route. If I still had an active AC account, and the time, I would probably implement it.

I'll pay for a month for ya, if you have the time...

If you open a fellowship window and are the only one in the fellow, then you can scroll through the items one at a time and never have to reload or get any spam. I put the fellowship window right by the compass out of the way.
