So did anyone pick this up?


Would love to see this back in action, I know he was offering the source.

I will check the sources now, maybe I can resurrect that plugin in C#...

Takes me 1-2 weeks for analysing...

No, but I'm thinking about adding in the hotkey support to LifeTank

I tried once before to update Smartcaster to work with post ToD code, but gave up about half way through. However, LT already has all the vuln info (it uses the same code as Smartcaster) so it should be fairly easy to add on the hotkey support.

So you'd be able to load up LT (but not have to start it) and it would provide all the functionality that Smartcaster used to grin

What did Smartcaster do that Cast It! does not?

It might be possible to add it.

All Smartcaster did was... smart casting

If Cast IT! keeps a DB of critters and what types they are vuln to and has casting hotkeys, then it'll do the job.

Smartcaster did wand switching and had user-programable hot keys.
CastIt! does not.

There is also Paradox's Quick Cast which says it has Hotkey support, but I've never tried it so don't know if it covers all the other bases.

Okay, wand switching is already on the Todo list. What are you looking for programmable hot keys to do?

In the mean time I use Sort It! to switch my wands, but it is not an automatic switch to the vuln type.

I had hotkeys for S2M and revit, which I like to do manually.
I also had a panic button that cast recall to Sanct., a drain health 1, and maybe a heal other hotkey.

Okay, I have hooks for up to 10 user assignable hotkeys that would do that for you.

Unfortunately, they are still in the 'not implemented yet' category.

I am doing some playing with Cast It! currently, probly have a new release in the next couple of weeks.

The changes going in this time are primarily to help me with Colosseum play.

smartcaster had a very easy to use ingame interface, to set vulns and attacks for critters.

I really dislike having to edit an XML file for that.

How's this for an easy to use interface?

Click on the vulnerability icon to the left of the creature's health bar, and you can change what it's vulnerable to.

Those little marks on the vitals bars are where AC+ will step in and do the s2h/revit/heal, or whatever's needed to bring your vitals above those marks.

I'm hoping to have a new version out shortly after the patch this week, if I can straighten out a couple of issues.

That looks great Thorfinn Sigurdssen!

One question tho: Would it be possible to also add a hotkey to refill the vials?
I.e. I am waiting for a respawn and while my vials arent down that much I still want them full for the next fight?

======
With Cast It!, you select the monster you want to set the vuln for, then press a button for the vuln type you want to use. Or do as I do and assign the Set Vuln buttons to hotkeys, so for example Ctl-Alt-F can set Fire Vuln, Ctl-Alt-B set Blud vuln, etc.
