[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: VTANK questions

	I use a creature/life buffing suit when hunting. I like to recharge my gear automatically using vtank and normally do that through the use of precharged mana stones (ie titan mana charge). I noticed a new version of vtank will use rechargeable stones to do this so here are my questions. 1. If I have 2 precharged stones, I assume vtank will use one once the criteria are met (ie mana running low). When my mana runs low again, what stone will it grab? (ie does it know to grab the full one) 2. If I don't have a precharged stone, will vtank attempt to fill one for me? If so, how does it decide what item to use to recharge the stone? 3. If I don't have any stones, does vtank try to pick some up? (yes I have looting enabled) If so, how many will it pick up? 4. If I have an uncharged stone and no items to drain, will vtank pick up items with mana, start using non-leathered gear including what I am wearing, or does it just stop trying to recharge? Thanks. -----signature----- (none)

If so, how does it decide what item to use to recharge the stone? Yes, The criteria is set in the advanced options. 3. If I don't have any stones, does vtank try to pick some up? (yes I have looting enabled) If so, how many will it pick up? Yes, 4 is default , but can be changed in Advanced options. 4. If I have an uncharged stone and no items to drain, will vtank pick up items with mana, start using non-leathered gear including what I am wearing, or does it just stop trying to recharge? It will pick up items that meet the criteria in the advanced options, default is any item with 1000 mana on it. It will never use items already on you when it starts.

I will have to try adding multiple mana stones to see if that works...I thought I would only need to add one (ie major mana stone) and somehow vtank would simply grab the next charged stone until I didn't have any left, then it would try to recharge one. -----signature----- (none)

	That answer was pretty complete As for the consumables list, I think there is a little confusion. What is in the consumables list is item types, not specific items. Only the items list holds references to particular items. So, just add eg. 'Major Mana Stone' and it will loot, fill and use stones of that type. -----signature----- Virindi --- **Virindi Plugins FAQ** http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/Virindi_Plugins_FAQ http://www.virindi.net - Virindi Tank, Follower, Integrator, Reporter, VCS5, XPHelper, Item Tool, HUDs, etc...
