Conning on the fly (1 Viewer)

[cheeky monkey]

I was running my lowbie Rogue through Lguk yesterday and I got to thinking about conning mobs on the run. Is it possible to create a plugin for the map tool that shows mobs within the cast radius or melee radius by what they con to you? For instance, any mobs that are kos to you would appear with a special character or some other method of notation. A circle around them would be another idea.

Anyway, love all the hard work you all put into this site. Many thanks for the help.

The plugin would have to /con everything. There was discussion a long long time ago about adding tags to see invis or see SoS mobs whish I believe would be done the same way. End result was that sending 400 /con messages to sony too quickly would likely get a red flag.

I'm not saying I agree that sony gives a hoot or that you even need to con EVERYTHING, as you said you could make it a certain range of mobs. I'm sure this would be very possible. (make a spam window for /con results and hide it behind some other window lol)

There was a mac that did this on the mq boards a while back. and like rougish said they were afraid of the "red flag" ALso it was VERY lagy while in use. It seemed it would recon alot. Cant remember who it was that made it but i think it was for a puller mac. (damn old age). He was tring to get code that once it was coned it would not be done again. He said that the lag was from reconning.

So if you could cut the recon out, and put a 150 or so radius on it i think it could work.
I know when i go thru a new zone and have invis on, I run and con all the time. i prolly do 3-4 cons a second. so maybe a delay on it too and only con in foward arc would cut down on some cons. Hmmm maybe a good project to work on.

I still do not know how to con only once. That would be my speed bump in the mac.

UNTESTED but this should work. it wil recon im sure. I will test it out tonight when im on.

Things to do
1. make it stop recon. (maybe an ini file or some such....ideas please)
2. make it only con in your foward arc.

|SOS’s checkkos.mac


#event CU “#*# scowls at you#*#”
#event appear “#*#appear#*#”



Sub Main
:loop
/target npc radius < 150
/con
/doevents
/delay 5
/target npc next radius < 150
/con
/doevents
/delay 5
/goto :loop
/return

Sub_CU
/popup STOP!! A #T SEESINVIS!!!!!
/return

Sub_appear
/popup YOUR INVIS IS DROPPING OR HAS DROPED
/return

I am liking the way this looks. I will check it out later when I log on.
Thanks for the help, bro.

Now onto a similar idea... If certain mobs always see invis, (i.e. sonic wolves) is there a way to flag them? Via the map or with a visual display. May take a bit to log each type, but if it is possible to log each target type that gave "You suspect this being can see you" a list could be made. (I think)

Shut this down if it is impractical, please. Just thoughts popping into my empty skull cavity.

coming on the fly? did you buy it dinner first? Oh, conning :P

 

[Roguish]

I would suggest making this a plugin not a macro first off.

Also the re-conning shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as it doesn't go through the loop constantly. Suggest creating a temporary location point at the beginning of each check cycle and only running another check cycle if you are now a certain distance from that spot. i.e the Check distance might be 150 but it will not check again till you've moved 65.

coming on the fly?

That's some damn good aim.

This is untested since I just put it together, so use at your own risk (I'm double posting this, both here and in cheats section).
