RareTracker

Version: 2.02r7

by: adelea [More]

RareTracker is my take on a rare-mob hunting addon.

If you are in a zone with Rare mobs, then RareTracker will display 2 things.

1. A window listing rare mobs, distance to their spawn point and an arrow showing COMPASS direction

This window can be moved by dragging the title bar around whilst holding the left mouse button.

Clicking with the left mouse button on the darker green MODE: line, will toggle between Available and ALL modes.

Left clicking on any of the elements (arrow/name/range) will toggle the inclusion of that named mob from the
list. This can be used (along with Available mode) to only show the ones you are still interested in finding.

Right clicking on any of these elements will toggle the coloration of the entry. Useful for marking you've visted that location.

In ALL mode, the excluded ones are shown, but their name is coloured Red - they can be clicked to toggle
inclusion status as normal.

If you RIGHT click the MODE: line, it will show a red bar with 2 labels - NAME: and RANGE: - moving the mousewheel
up/down over these labels will cause the textsize used in the tracker to change.

2. An icon showing a white diamond on a red or green background.

This icon can be moved by dragging it around, whilst holding the right mouse button.

It can be resized by using the mousewheel up/down whilst hovering over it.

The icon will have a green background if there is a macro associated with it, or red if there is not.

A macro is built and added to the icon for all rare mobs that appear in the tracker and are within 300m of your current location.

The icon can be left-clicked to active the macro that is associated with it.

2.02r7:
+ Added suppressmacrofailures to macro (not that it does anything, but Trion may fix it one day!)
+ Updates for spawns (DL/Strange Mound [Enraged Scarab]; IPP/Swirling Tempest; MH/Nytami; EH/Plaguefang)

2.02r6:
+ Switched to using /targetexact instead of /target
+ Finished up converting to the new Event system

2.02r5:
+ Updated some locations, and added more alternates
+ You should be able to left-click on the tracker to hide/unhide entries once more

2.02r4:
+ Fixes to libZoneChange
- Fix for player changing zones by walking
- Fix for logging in or /reloadui into a 'special' zone

2.02r3:
Fix to libZoneChange

2.02r2:
Fix for broken macro change

2.02r1:
Updated some locations
Use libZoneChange for zone changes

2.01r4a:
Fixed a typo

2.01r4:
Added minimap/docker button that will toggle display of Tracker windows. Grey - Hidden, Green - Shown

2.01r3:
Prevented movement of diamond icon during combat
Reduced CPU load

2.01r2:
+ Added French + German translations of mob names
+ RIGHT CLICK on tracker entry will color/uncolor the entry until you change zone
(useful for marking youve been to that location)

2.01r1 - Initial release

Thanks again for all your hard work.

That should be fixed in 2.02r5 - you are still seeing it ?

EDIT: just noticed date of original message - not sure how I missed it before!

Oh! and an idea, not sure if it is possible or not. But have an option where the targeting macro is automatically spammed when in range of a rare mob. That way you don't have to spam click it all the time. <3

OK, I can add a minimap/docker button that can be used to toggle display.

Once you start making a dent in the list though, it does start to take up seriously less space!

I dont think it makes sense to put the icon in the Docker.

The icon is meant to be clicked on - and for most purposes, the docker would be out of the way.

If you really want it docked, I can put in something to allow this - but I dont think it would be terribly useable! Unless of course, you only want the notification of it going from red/green.

Number of mobs around shouldnt affect anything!

It checks every frame to see if more than 1 second has passed since it last did anything 'heavy', and if not, it does nothing.

It's only in that 1 per second that it does any real work, and even then its not really doing that much - i've never seen it appear in the performance window.
