Question - Alternate loot?

[dulak]

I vaguely recall someone once asking if there was a way to have another toon in your group loot once your inventory was full. Was hoping I could get the info on how to do that posted here.

Heya Dulak.

Short: It can be done.
Long: Requirements are:
toons are on the same machine,
the looter runs a mac useing ninjadvloot.inc,
your new looter runs kissassist and
you use EQBC
You need to edit your ninjadvloot.inc,

search the sub:

Sub Event_InventoryFull
    /echo Your Inventory is full. Turning off looting functions.
    /varset LootMobs FALSE
    /varset InventoryFull 1
/return

and make it

Sub Event_InventoryFull
    /echo Your Inventory is full. Turning off looting functions.
    /bct <ToonName> //looton
    /varset LootMobs FALSE
    /varset InventoryFull 1
/return

It does make the looter send a tell to your <ToonName> via EQBC, once inventory full, and makes the other toon use the alias to change the value of Looton, if the other toon has
Kissassist running.

You need to hardcode the name of your toon atm. To make it generic it requires a whole new sub to be writen to find a suitable grpmember (no merc, toon on eqbc).
But I got no time atm to do a whole new sub.

PS: This is untested code, but safe to use since its just a tell on eqbc. Please give feedback if it works as intended.

I've never used EQBC. Will give it a shot in a few days when I get some time. New work schedule is all kinds of fucked up. Will be moving from 1st to 3rd shift so it will take me a short while to get acclimated. I wonder if Maskoi could make this a feature of KA without it requiring the use of EQBC?

Say; I've been playing with adding in [Burn] like event-subroutines that respond to other text input. I could see this being used for such as a quick and sloppy. /if <loot disabled due to full> /<broadcast to chan> "I'm full". Other char sees: /doevents Full {/varset ${LootOn} 1, /return}.

Taking it a step further; one could compare an array of group members against a "friends list", kinda like the posse list, and include a char's name when broadcasting to your chosen channel.

 

[Maskoi]

Someone already posted this solution some where. Just search fro like loot eqbc or something.

I think this is what Maskoi is referring too. This is the code I use and it works great.

i just had all my toons with looton and that has worked for me. only problem i get is some times my SK will loot with full inventory get an item stuck on cursor and lock up kissassist

 

[ctaylor22]

I get the same problem on all my toons. If there are no open inventory space but the first item to loot is stackable and there is room in a stack in my inventory it will loot, but the problem happens when the last item to loot is a non-stackable item and requires a free inventory slot and guess what. There isn't one, so the item sticks on the cursor and the toon just sits there doing nothing. So I have to destroy the item on cursor and close loot window and everything starts running again.
