Subject: Vtank isn't picking up rares
When I run Vtank with Alinco it does not pickup rares. I have to stop vtank and open the corpse again to allow alinco to pickup the rare and then start vtank again. If I happen to be not looking at the screen it continues on and leaves the rare. I have the macro set to run a route, so I am not sure if its an issue if the character is standing in one spot.

Have you followed the instructions to configure alinco/vtank looking in the FAQ?

Yes. Other than not picking up rares vtank and alinco are working great. I just reread the faq on that again to verify I didn't miss anything.

If I remember correctly, a previous version of Alinco3 had this problem but it was updated with a fix. Have you verified you have the latest?

I just tested vtank, haven't used it much until recently, and I seem to be having the same problem. I checked alinco site and it only shows 1.0.1.8 but the version i have in decal shows 1.0.1.9. What am I missing with these versions or am I going to the wrong site?

Just to clarify, it is not picking up rares for you with the latest version of Alinco? I have not had a chance to test it yet.

Yeah, I just saw yet another rare that it didn't pick up. Perhaps I should just download alinco3 again and reinstall. Can someone verify the link for the newest version?

Look on the Downloads page just under where it says recommended downloads. Alinco3D.msi is listed there and shows that it was posted on November 22nd. The page says 1.0.1.8, but once installed it does say 1.0.1.9.

Then i do have the latest. Any idea why vtank isn't picking up rares then? It seems to grab everything else properly. Though I have been fighting some low level stuff to get weapons for my new guy and notice it will randomly grab some lame xbows and bows. They have no mana usually and not part of any profiles and the value is low. It is a rare thing. Still trying to figure that one out.

I have this exact issue as well. I run vtank with Alinco (latest version) - it does not pickup rares. I believe the issue is with Alinco, when I turn off Alinco - vtank picks up rares just fine.

I have the latest versions of Alinco and vtank. I have also tried re-installing Alinco - no success.

If i stop vtank and open the corpse again Alinco will pick up the rare.

Have you tried not running Alinco and using vtank to loot? Does that work? I've never tried pausing vtank and manually opening the corpse and seeing if Alinco picks up the rare - I'll try that when the situation comes up again.

Perhaps the issue is somewhere in between vtank and Alinco.

Vtank has the ability to allow Alinco to take over looting altogether. There is just a hitch somewhere that stops it from picking up rares. If I had to guess, both plugins are trying to pickup the rare at the same time.

This is not accurate.

VTank does not contain any code that loots anything, except for unknown scrolls, mana stones, and mana tanks to fill those stones. What it does is ask the selected lootplugin about each item on a corpse to see if it should be looted.

If stuff is properly lootable with VTClassic but not Alinco, it is very likely to be a problem with Alinco.

If a bug occurs similarly while using either loot system, it is likely to be a problem with VTank.

I believe this issue to be the former since I have never had a problem picking up rares with VTClassic.

Is there a good faq for the vtank classic looter?

Could it be that vtank is looting faster than alinco can go through its steps to get to where it looks for rares?

If so that is a bug in Alinco. VTank presents a choice on each item to the lootplugin: should I ID this? If the lootplugin says no, VTank asks immediately if that item should be looted. If it says yes, it sends an ID request and when that arrives it asks the lootplugin if the item should be looted.

Once a lootplugin has ID data for an item, it should have all the information necessary to make a decision.

There are two pages describing its use:

http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/VTClassic_Tutorial
http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/VTClassic_AdvancedLooting

At the end of the second page, there are two full example profiles to get you started.

Maybe if I add each rare to the trophy section it will help. I will give that a try.

I've tried adding keywords like "pearl", "gem", "jewel" and others to the trophy list and it hasn't solved the problem. I suspect adding every exact rare by full name to the trophy list will work.

Well once you guys go through all that trouble send me the file!!!!!!!!

Is the alinco3 guy still around so that this potentially could be looked into? I will take a look at the vtlooter when i get the time. Been really busy lately and creating all those profiles is going to take a good chunk of time unless someone has a good detailed on posted somewhere. Modifying is easier than creating.
