Dereth Exploration Automation

This project contains a set of routes and meta profiles for VTank with the goal to automate the Dereth Exploration quest series.

I want to use these, what do I do?

All .met files are self-contained. Just download the one(s) you want, put them into your VTank installation folder, log in to the game and they should be available and functional.

To be clear: If you just want to use these, only download the .met file you want. You do not need to download individual routes to use a .met file.

It is recommended that you use a profile that contains all life buffs and at the very least BPS banes. You should not be burdened and certainly not defenseless!

Known Issues

All meta profiles

• You need Recall Aphus Lassel for any of the profiles to work
• The meta profile will set the following default values in your profile:
  • ApproachDistance 0
  • AttackDistance 4
  • UsePortalDistance 0.018
  • NavFarStopRange 20

Party-Goer

• The marker at Banderling Castle requires combat to be reached reliably due to too many mobs in the path. It is recommended to have only slash weapon in your profile

I want to help, what do I do?

Fork this project, add/update routes or meta profiles and make a pull request. Please make sure your commits as well as the pull request have useful comments explaining all changes or additions.

Contributing to routes

• All routes need to start with a 10 second pause followed by Recall to Aphus Lassel or another quest recall
• Always use AL recall if there is a route from Town Network, even if using a different recall would be shorter or faster. The goal is to keep the requirements as minimal as possible!
• It is recommended to put a 5 second pause after the use of portal. This seems to prevent some issues on bad connections.
• Route names should start with xploreTo
• It is better to run around a narrow passage than to "lag thru" it

Contributing to meta profiles

• Always start by flagging and end at Sean the Speedy in Holtburg. Use the ExplorationTemplate profile as a template.
• When adding or modifying embedded routes, make sure the route file is also added or updated. The only exception to this are routes with a single nav point to use a marker
• Name your states for navigating to a marker and using it similarly, e.g. goToMarker1 and useMarker1
• To use a marker, create a "circular" route to use it and follow it with state change based on a chat message matching "You have found a total of \d+ of the Exploration Markers."
