[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.

	Awesome. Thanks for the updates. Going back to "start" locations. If a newb that uses GoArrow in game follows these directions, will the Facility Hub and Whispering Blade start locations automatically be added, or do they still have to edit the xml file to add the start locations? I have mine udpated the way you explained it in January, but, would like to refer other people here as well. Also, when I tell GoArrow to find quickest route to BoBo, it takes me via Fac Hub, which ends up being much much much longer due to the water blocking the route...? Other than me knowing that will take forever, any ideas? And Mt. Alphus ... lol took me forever to remember how to get up to top of that thing, and GoArrow wasn't helping/confused. haha maybe it was just me. Anyway, appreciate the continued support! -----signature-----

	Not entirely positive on Whispering Blade Chapterhouse, but I do know Facility Hub is not added automatically (Neither is the Olthoi North Recall). I had to add them manually to have them show up. I have noticed the water issue as well, and I am not positive what influences that. From running into that issue I know I need to route to Island Crossing first, then to behind the waterfall. -----signature----- Guinevere du Avalon - Level 275 - Mage (War\MeleeD Spec)\2 Hour Buff Bot - TD ~* Explorer of Dereth *~ GoArrow Database Updates (Full): http://db.tt/6UlVIW GoArrow Database Update Page: http://db.tt/9lJUeE4

	Elder_AC posted: If a newb that uses GoArrow in game follows these directions, will the Facility Hub and Whispering Blade start locations automatically be added, or do they still have to edit the xml file to add the start locations? They won't automatically be updated. You can either add the start locations in-game on the Settings > Route Finding > Start Locations tab, or edit GoArrow's XML when AC isn't running (advanced users). Start locations are separate from the location database -- it's a little confusing, but was necessary because the CoD database didn't provide any information about which places could be used as start locations. As a result, just downloading Darktorizo's database update won't update the start locations.

Other than me knowing that will take forever, any ideas? And Mt. Alphus ... lol took me forever to remember how to get up to top of that thing, and GoArrow wasn't helping/confused. haha maybe it was just me. Unfortunately GoArrow's route finding algorithm doesn't have any knowledge of impassable terrain -- it assumes you can run in a straight line between any two points that are on the same island (it won't suggest running between islands, at least). Sometimes you can figure out a running route on your own by looking at the map, but beyond that... yes you have to either know the running route or ask someone. If the fac hub route to bobo is bad, your easiest bet is to click "Next Longer" to use a different start location. You can also modify the "Facility Hub to X" location to not use in route finding. Click on the portal in the route (should be the second one in the route), then on the details tab, go to the Modify/Add Location tab, uncheck "Use in Route Finding", and click Modify. -----signature----- [LotRO] Digero (Guardian), Digrim (Burglar), Dignite (LM), Azrea (Hunter) - Landroval [AC] Digero, Lyera, Draxxe - Leafcull (Retired) [CoH] Devil's Zealot, Scinta, Izzard - Guardian (Retired) Digero's AC Decal Plugins: http://decal.acasylum.com

	Cool, and thanks to both for the replies. Yup, now I just hit next longer for Bobo, which takes me via the portal device at the mansion - which is perfectly fine. I was just curious. -E -----signature-----
