[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Mob Tracker 1.1 Available

	Because of a change at my ISP, I decided to release what I have so we can get the data flowing again. There are a lot of changes in 1.1. Here is a list: The offline viewer now shows coordinates with a crosshair cursor to help pinpoint a spawn. Map defaults to full size now. Clicking on a mob in the tracked list will select that mob. MobTracker reads its server config from the map server. MobTracker now shows server population on login. (Why? Cause I like to see it. Doesn't hurt anything.) MobTracker now supports several chat bar commands: /MOB HELP - Display this menu /MOB NOARROWS - Turns off the 3D arrows /MOB SHOWARROWS - Shows the ingame 3D arrows /MOB NOMAP - Turns off the ingame spawn map /MOB MAP - Shows the ingame spawn map /MOB ANON - Does not send your server & name with spawn data /MOB NOANON - Sends your server & name with spawn data /MOB ARROWCOLOR <ColorName> - Sets the arrow color by color name /MOB ARROWALPHA <Alpha%> - Sets the arrow transparency /MOB MAPPOS <X> <Y> - Sets the position of the map hud's upper left corner /MOB MAPALPHA <Alpha%> - Sets the map hud transparency /MOB LARGEMAP Sets the map size to maximum /MOB SMALLMAP Sets the map size to half that of maximum The biggest new feature: TRACKER TRACKING! Mobtracker will now send server and character name with its data. The server then checks to see if that spawn at that location has been seen before. If not, it awards 1 point to the tracker. If that mob/location is already known, no points are given. If a NEW mob, never before seen anywhere, is sent, the discoverer gets 10000 points for being the first! I will be creating an automatic system to update the stats of the trackers by server and those lists will be available on the mobtracker site. THIS CAN BE TURNED OFF. I certainly dont want to force anyone to disclose themselves, so you can just use the /MOB ANON command to render your contributions anonymous before they are even sent to the server. There is a purple message that displays on login and it will tell you if your contributions are tracked or anonymous, so there are no suprises. Additionally, MobTracker now records the dungeon information for spawns and I will be working on a system to match those up by name so we can have lists of mobs by dungeon and dungeons can be listed where certain mobs are found. Enjoy! http://mobtracker.yewsplugins.com NOTE: Because of the hasty release, I have not had a chance to QC anything at all, so please report suspicious behavior so I may punish myself appropriately and correct any issues. Now for some stats: There are 1.7 million unique mob/location datapoints in the database and there are over 6 MILLION reported spawns for over 1500 mobs! Here is the top 100 list of reported mobs, by count of frequency reported: 370856 Ravenous Eater 331885 White Phyntos Wasp 302209 Fiun Assistant 233008 Frenzied Fiun 191155 Olthoi Slayer 175912 Olthoi Slasher 164935 Olthoi Ripper 150740 Devastator 127344 Assailer 121397 Rampager 97617 Abhorrent Eater 80045 Armored Tusker 78685 Tusker Guard 75401 Tusker Sycophant 72300 Chicken 65014 Olthoi Larvae 64460 Grimy Moarsman 63740 Mucky Moarsman 62728 Insatiable Eater 58369 Scummy Moarsman 54005 Tukora Lieutenant 47704 Gotrok Tiatus 47565 Olthoi Warrior 47441 Diamond Golem 45962 Pestilence Rat 43332 Shallows Shredder 42534 Shallows Gorger 41245 Tukora Commander 40771 Olthoi Swarm Eviscerator 36624 Olthoi Soldier 35758 Viamontian Tribune 34150 Tusker Slave 33122 Brown Rabbit 33052 Reaper 32778 Viamontian Commander 30624 Silver Tusker 26940 Drudge Ravener 26705 Remoran Raker 26361 Astis Niffis 26069 Benek Niffis 25834 Remoran Sand Stalker 24507 Olthoi Swarm Nymph 24377 Olthoi Drone 24097 Remoran Sea Raptor 23847 Olthoi Swarm Harvester 23770 Olthoi Swarm Gardener 23590 Pyreal Golem 22807 Viamontian Lord 22597 Parfal Sleech 22480 Gotrok Juggernaut 22338 Aqueous Golem 22188 Wave Golem 22147 Obsidian Golem 21999 Shambling Undead Ruschk 21995 Black Rabbit 21725 Plated Tusker 20902 Tusker Worshipper 20764 Remoran Corsair 20528 Degenerate Mukkir 19688 Degenerate Shadow 19434 Diseased Phyntos Wasp 19236 Tukora Sentinel 19093 Lich 18894 Olthoi Worker 18806 Tusker Liberator 18420 Iron Spined Chittick 18403 Voracious Eater 18032 Burun Ruuk Seer 17891 Tusker Redeemer 17027 Viamontian Hand 16704 Drudge Skulker 15973 Virindi Executor 15696 Putrid Moarsman 15434 Olthoi Mutilator 15385 Auroch Yearling 15257 Olthoi Swarm Soldier 15095 Gold Shallows Shredder 14784 Drudge Slinker 14553 Infested Rat 14330 Olthoi Swarm Guardian 14148 Olthoi Servant 13887 Olthoi Noble 13820 Olthoi Eviscerator 13190 Tumerok Trooper 13059 Olthoi Swarm Drone 12933 Shadow Lieutenant 12927 Withered Raider Justicar 12861 Stinging Chittick 12847 Nomad Mu-miyah 12847 Burun Ruuk Lout 12801 Olthoi Swarm Legionary 12748 Olthoi Swarm Worker 12494 Cave Penguin 12443 Ruschk Warlord 12220 Tuskie Gunner 12108 Pristine Doll 11900 Spirit 11846 Withered Raider Prefect 11839 Extas Raider 11793 Drudge Bloodletter -----signature----- Current developer of Mob Tracker (mobtracker.yewsplugins.com) Current developer of Rare Tracker(raretracker.yewsplugins.com) Current developer of Craft Bot(craftbot.yewsplugins.com) Email:yew@yewsplugins.com

	Nuts cheated myself out of 10000 points by running through Xarabydun when the plugin was first officially released. But in all seriousness this feature sounds a bit like a LONG dead plugin that awarded points based on the area you covered and if someone else had been there recently. Only this time its with spawns. -----signature-----
