Just a small tip, if you wonder how large your pullradius should be for an certain area.

Rich (BB code):
/mapfilter spellradius #

draws a circle with given radius around your char on the map. This way you can see what area's certain pullradius will cover.
 
I just usually target the furthest mob and do a /whotar and see what my distance is. Thanks for the tip.

Here is another little trick I use, so I don't have to restart kiss on my puller.

set your pull radius to something like 50 in your ini or too a value you know your puller will just stand in camp looking for mobs. Start Kiss like normal.

Now create 3 hot keys.

Hot Key 1: (R500)
Rich (BB code):
/varset MaxRadius 500
/varcalc CampRadiusExceed ${MaxRadius}+200

Change the 500 above to what you want your starting distance.

Hot Key 2: (Dist +5)
Rich (BB code):
/varcalc MaxRadius ${MaxRadius}+5
/echo ${MaxRadius}
/varcalc CampRadiusExceed ${MaxRadius}+200

Hot Key 3: (Dist -5)
Rich (BB code):
/varcalc MaxRadius ${MaxRadius}-5
/echo ${MaxRadius}
/varcalc CampRadiusExceed ${MaxRadius}+200

Click Hot key 1 and use hot key 2 and 3 to tweak your pulling distance. I have a page of social hot keys dedicated for this I have 8 keys set for start distances. Starting at 500 and I have 4 keys setup for adding/decreasing distance. I have a key for adding +5 and one for Adding +10 and the one for -5 and one for -10.

Using this setup allows me to start up my group in just about any zone and not worry about starting my puller up last, then on my puller, I just click on the start distance I want to use, and then use the increase/decrease distance keys to tweak my pull range.

Hope this helps someone.
 
um
/maxradius # or
Rich (BB code):
/maxradius 400
will change it on the fly
 
Here ya go. Just add the highlighted line to the Sub Event_ChangeVarInt. The only issue with this is the next time the character restarts kiss it will use the last MaxRadius value.

Rich (BB code):
    Sub Event_ChangeVarInt(string Line, string ISection, string IName, string IVar)
        /if (${Debug}) Event_ChangeVarInt ${ISection} ${IName} ${IVar}
        /echo Changing ${IName} to ${IVar}
        /varset ${IName} ${IVar}
        /ini "${IniFileName}" "${ISection}" "${IName}" "${IVar}"
        /if (${IName.Find[mezon]} && !${Defined[MezTimer1]}) /call CreateTimersMez
        /if (${IName.Find[dpson]} && !${Defined[DPSTimer1]}) /call CreateTimersDPS
        /if (${IName.Equal[ChaseAssist]} && ${ReturnToCamp}) /varset ReturnToCamp 0
        /if (${IName.Equal[ChaseAssist]} && ${IVar}==0 && ${Stick.Active}) /squelch /stick off
        /if (${IName.Equal[MaxRadius]}) /varcalc CampRadiusExceed ${MaxRadius}+200
    /return
 
Please change .Range to .MyRange also.

(So the detrimental focus range will be included).
