Can anyone tell me how to add more alerts?

It seems that currently only alerts0-9 are availiable, and i woul dlike to add more for Mobtracking, at least assuming its not overly complicated/huge resourcehogger.

thanks

Why would you want more than 10 types of mobs.

Each of the 0-9 can contain lots of mobs, not just 1.

So if you wanted to prioritise mob1 mob2 and mob3 as your preferred choce of mob, but are prepared to handle mob4, mob5 and mob6 if there's none of 1,2 or 3 up you would put the first 3 in one list, the next 3 in another.

eg

Code: Select all

/Alert add 1 npc mob1
/Alert add 1 npc mob2
/Alert add 1 npc mob3
/Alert add 2 npc mob4
/Alert add 2 npc mob5
/alert add 2 npc mob6

/alert list 1
would show mobs 1 to 3, whereas
/alert list 2
would show mobs 4 thru 6.

The tracker macro he uses reads the ini and adds each to a list of it's own. I think it was done this way so that it can figure out exactly what mob is up and give the info line for that mob from the ini.

don't know if this will help, but this was just added $alert(#,id) returns the id of the mob that triggered the alert (or the closest one if there is multiple)

aye, grimjack is correct

the purpose is that in areas such as VT, BoT, NToV, Ssra, multiple important mobs are up, and if 2 on the same alert are up, then i only get the highest one, whereas with the mac im currently using i am immeadiately notified if any mob spawns or dies. If anyone can thin kof a better way to do it other than adding more alerts, let me know.
