Thank You to all who are gathering data!


MobTracker's database now contains over 1 million spawn records on over 1300 mobs.


That is an excellent start! I encourage everyone to run the plugin, even if you just turn off the groups, arrows, and empty the list. The server can handle 100 times the volume its getting, so rev it up! Its a very resource-light plugin and the data gathered is very useful.


Speaking of useful data, I *really* need more 'wanderers' to use this plugin. While I have 1,000,000 records, a vast majority of these are all in dungeons. I need overland data, especially in the massive area of dereth between the cities on the mainland. With the Snowman near Qal, I have a little bit of decent data there, and I think I've nailed down every Chicken spawn near a town . I definately need other areas though. Much of the spawn data in the 'sparse mainland' area has been gathered by me during the development of the plugin. I need to turn to the masses to ask for help gathering sizeable quantities of spawn data throughout the countryside. Please help!

I think Sam will be higher then the Fiun Assistant after this patch.

is there a way to track every critter, on the list ... without manually adding each one the the tracking list?

 

-----signature-----

I'm not sure what you mean Beez. If you are aking how to add every creature in the maps list to the tracked list, why on earth would you want to track every creature?(I already send data for every spawn whether its tracked or not to the server, so you dont need them tracked to be reported) Nevertheless, if that is what you want, PM me your settings file and I'll bulk add all 1353 creatues to the list for you.

 

-----signature-----

Maybe I should have been more exact .... say I want to run through the wilds of Dereth for a few hours.


I would like EVERY critter that I run across, to be uploaded into your server. Every bunny, bug, drudge, EVERYTHING.


From what I can tell, it will only track the critters, that you hard wired into mobtracker (ie. banished, golds, boss golems, etc.) ... and the critters that I manually add to the tracking list. The rest of the list goes untracked.


make more sense?

Yea not sure how to use this Plugin myself, I would be happy to run all over the place and collect for you but I can't seem to get anything to come up

You dont need to do anything at all other than have the plugin show up in Decal. It will send every single spawn to the central server, even if you turn everything off and clear the 'tracked list'.


The tracking list (Which isnt hard coded at all, in fact with some XML editing you can add your own groups of mobs to quickly toggle on and off) is only used for the 3D arrow/alert function.

Just keep the plugin alive during ac's days. It's so sad to see plugin's die because the author is either too lazy to update it, or just doesn't care.

This is a great plugin, makes finding mobs sooo easy and makes those kill tasks easier.


Can't wait for dungeon spawns etc...

I'm a wanderer but I'm Beta testing another game ATM so it is eating up a lot of my game time. I use the plug when I play though. It doesn't conflict with anything and runs with Alinco, AmmoGimp, Buffme and Skunk Vision just fine. But my gamer has pretty good resources 512 Vid and 2GB RAM
