Idea - recorded routes
|
Is it possible to import routes into Vtank as individual files? It would be very cool if you could get recorded routes for quests like Caul Recall, etc. Load the route from the correct place and boom, you start running. Imagine having them for Harlunes, etc.
Thoughts?

Are you asking for something similar to vTanks IG map, except that it's preloaded with a route?
I interpreted your questions as: Can I have separate routes for various quests that I want to go on.
To that question, I'd say: of course! In fact, I operate with many different routes that either I have built, or a guildmate has built.
It would be simple to build nav routes individually for each quest you run routinely and just load that route once you're ready to run it.

This is actually a pretty cool idea. Would be a pain to sit there and click the waypoints as you are doing a quest though.

The routes are just small .nav files in your /VirindiPlugins/VirindiTank directory. You can share them or send them to others just fine.

That is what I was getting at.
What I'm thinking is, much like the default loot profiles that people post, we could start a library of default routes as well. So if I ran Deru Tree and recorded a route, I could save that route (or series of them) on the site for others to DL and use. I don't play during peak times and I miss out on a lot of quests, so I find myself reading wiki and trying to solo things. This would help a lot.

I thought about doing something similar, for things such as pincer dungeons, tusk dungeon, jaw dungeons etc...
I thought it would be nice for those that get lost easy in dungeons (like me). It would also help when you're running multiple characters through.
Currently I don't have any built (other than my current huting routes), but I wouldn't mind building a couple of them at some point to help some folks out.

not a bad idea, several of my guild mates and I share nav profiles.
word of caution, BSD while 3 exact dungeons each has different coords. Thus nav profile built in bsd (Obs Plains) will not show/work in the Teth BSD - nav profile is required for each. Suspect this is the same for PotB, EO and any other duplicate looking dungeons.

This is true with every dungeon with multiple copies, such as EO, PoTB, the Halls of Metos, et cetera.

I actually did this with the Aerbax quest... that stupid long run at the beginning. It's not perfected yet but I made a preliminary .nav file.

We all have nav files for things we do often...but I think the power of the nav files, much like the loot profiles that we use at templates, is that they can be shared.
If we had a location to share nav files, we could use them to do thing and visit places we've never been, with the ease of having a tour guide. Not everyone would want them, but if I were trying to learn a new quest, it would be so helpful to have someone elses harlunes.nav file or mukkir2nddung.nav to start with.

Agnari, please post the Aerbax .nav file to Dropbox or some other free file hosting service. I know I'd like it for when I run the quest.

I wrote a simple C# plugin that captures/records coordinates every X interval for something I was working on. I've never looked at the inside of a .nav file, but it might be possible to have it produce whatever is inside a .nav file.
Also, @Ball-cruncher, you can hotkey the adding of waypoints so you can just run around while pressing the hotkey.

wow, if you could record the coordinates and then load them into vtank, that would be awesome. Imagine the accuracy of the routes.
