Squire is not just for pet armers any more! It (optionally) supports automated pet monitoring by any pet class, and auto-arming during safe times by any pet-armer configured to do so.
- The next time you start Squire you will see a welcome window with a mode selection that you'll want to take a look at.
- Page: Monitor my pet and broadcast if it needs arming.
- Squire: Monitor broadcasts to arm others pets.
- Page + Squire: Both. Monitor your own pet, arm it and others.
- Disabled: No auto-arming. Manual commands/broadcasts/tells as per your settings only.
Squires will not attempt to arm under a variety of obvious conditions such as combat, casting something else, spellbook open, trading, etc... it is very robust. I've moved weapons to last in the presets, so if the process gets interrupted, and a Page sees that their pet has no weapon, they will simply re-request.
Initial testing has been great, but I'm sure there are some edge cases lurking here.
Important note: There is no current integration with any other automation in the reactive (auto-arming) mode. I may write a module for RGMercs, but for now, make use of the pre-queue and post-queue command options if you wish to use the auto-arming mode. (Example, I have it set to pause rgmercs on my mage, and unpause it when done).
Please do not beat me up because of clashes with your automation that are not under my control. Hopefully you should already have the basic tools to solve those issues. I want to hear about problems, and I will do my best if you do not have the tools to solve for it, but I ultimately consider auto-arming to be an "at your own risk/convenience" style of use. It is an opt-in system, and not enabled by default.
Further integration hooks via actors (or via TLO publishing) may be available in the future.
