RGMercs Pull Module Revamp (2 Viewers)

[Algar]

Please try to keep questions/comments/feedback here for a few days. Cheers.

Pull Modes

• Added and renamed pull modes for clarity: Pull to Camp, Chain to Camp, Area Hunt, Roaming Hunt (formerly Hunt with "Hunt From Player" enabled), Circuit Hunt (formerly Farm), and Fight To.
• Camp and hunt modes can travel to a chosen location first: set a spot and the puller will travel there, set up, and begin pulling.
• Fight To: travel to a chosen target or location, fighting anything that aggros along the way.

Pull Locations

• Farm Waypoints are now Pull Locations: named, per-zone entries with enable toggles.
• • Existing waypoints convert automatically on first load.
• Each location can be set as the camp destination, hunt origin, or Fight To destination with one click.
• MyPaths integration has been adjusted, import into Pull Locations is on a point-by-point basis.
• Import from the database is possible to access points made by other RGMercs peers.

Peer Movement and Vitals

• Pull now places itself in the proper movement mode when started.
• • Optionally, it will do the same for Mercs Peers in the same group/raid/zone.
• It is possible to change objectives while pulling; setting a new camp loc while camped means "move my camp".
• Group Watch and Peer Watch are now a single Vitals Watch setting: Off, Group/Raid (anyone), or Zone Peers (Mercs Peers only). Added Pull Move Ability Support
• We will attempt to keep up any move buffs listed in the "Pull Move Abilities" while pulling.
• • Currently, the default bard configs contain entries for the Selo's AA and the standard RunBuffSong.

Commands

• Commands have been adjusted, please refer to the command list.

Misc

• Camp survives death so pulling can resume after a rez; camps are instance-aware. The "Stop Pulling After Death" setting is now fully functional.
• Adjusted the status panel to display context/mode specific info.
• Made adjustments for how we set autotarget to the pull target for consistency and edge-case handling.

Blessed day

Please let me know how it works out, on paper and a quick test ~= hours of pulling using the songs!

Seems to be working pretty good after 10 minutes of testing. The new pull window was a little hard to wrap my brain around because there's no "set group camp here" button so I "used current location" and then ran off with the bard manually and my group started chasing me . Once I got it figured out, the new options are actually pretty massive, especially for zones that I have pre-determined camp spots. Will report anything further I find and I appreciate you and the team for the constant improvements!

Yeah the options box for "Manage my group movement stuff" and the transition over to "Pull automatically does the chase/camp thing i need it to do where i told it to start from" is going to throw some people off i'm sure, i totally expect that. Massive is a goodword for the number of options. I was hoping the sentence structure helps people adjust, and i think that once people start digging into it, the convenience will be unparalled.

Even FightTo makes it to where I've cut down my manual movement moving from named to named in half, without ever storing a point. I'm starting to build points out for my own use now.

I did have an issue yesterday where I turned off pulls and then moved my group to the far north mobs in sola and then set my pulls again. Next thing I know my bard is running all the way back to bartender area (previous camp spot) and training himself when I turned pulling back on. I gotta get used to the new pull mechanics and remember to "use my loc" when I readjust in the same zone.

I think the alternative here would be to clear the spot out when you disable pulls... But even that has some issues.
Let me chew on this one.
