[Addon] Boss Tracker, an addon to see bosses on the map, is now on addon manager!

0 WOW WB is great and all, But I got only talt form the cubes. I would rather prefer jackpot mobs spawns lol.

Haha, so true! WE NEED LUCKY MOB TRACKER!

You recall correctly. I remember seeing this feature back in iCBT1 while grinding in Tenet Church F1 and the Chapparition World Boss appeared.

How to used it? We just install it and it will automatically work?

I just check my old screen shot then found this

Where is this boss now?

This is already in the game files… it shows you the position of the field boss because that’s how it was originally intended. The position of the field boss is sent with the alert message that it spawned. You can’t do this with just any monster/boss, normally they would have to be within rendering range to even know they exist.

As far as automated message are concerned, thats no different from CD Tracker sending messages to your party or !!. You are still required to be within the area to know if the boss spawned. Sure someone could have alt accounts stationed on many maps with code to send an alert whisper to the players main account if a field boss spawned however this was possible and most likely already done by many long before he released this. Like I said before, this code is literally already in the game files its not like he wrote some fancy addon. He essentially just copy pasted the code from map_monpos.lua and fixed it so it actually functions instead of doing nothing.

This isn’t possible as far as I am aware, I mean it would be easy enough to make a radar that worked within render range, which is a bit over 300 distance from your character. But you could also see them at that same range by just zooming out with Zoomy/Zoomy Plus. The only reason why this works for the field boss is because its intended to do that, it was just not implemented.

Most issues in the game get fixed by addons before IMC ever touches them… if ever. You want to ban the fixes created by the only people that care enough to try and fix the game? The addons ADD content to the game, your getting free content and fixes from players that decide to develop and release them for fun. Honestly without addons this game would be terrible, wait… it already is terrible why am I still here.

Easy enough but like I mentioned before it would only work within rendering range, meaning if your zoomed out far enough you could already see it.

You underestimate how stupidly bull headed this company is when it boils down to a situation like this. Part of me wants to believe they don’t completely understand the difference between quality of life fixes and then the game breaking things like hook64 at all. Then there’s the pessimistic side that says it’s because they get jealous that someone else can fix their stuff over pride completely scorning everything.

The whole thing with Julie leaving the staff months ago after being the only active person to conveys player concerns has affirmed a lot of things they do consciously in ignorance. They would ban everyone being incompetent when it comes to relating with players understanding the situation or just caring.

They do everything to make the game not user friendly so you can waste a lot of money on them.

yeah its pretty clear on the dungeon system. While new games have sure to drop items that are disputed btw party members on TOS you have to waste months to get a recipe.
-If it was only to ā€œgame balanceā€ there are so many materials that could have a higher rates than talts on the cubes that are useful to late game weapon buildings . The game is just made to waste your time and money searching for your eqps.
-Meanwhile other games have pvp gears, pvp exp and all day pvp modes, hell RO had that.(so yeah you can grind your pvp char on pvp rooms so that char is pvp oriented)
-World bosses require almost 60 people to die due huge HP pool and everyone involved is rewarded according to %dmg dealt but with a min loot that balances all that. (everyone gets a cube but top dps gets 2 cubes or 1 cube and 50 talt w/e)

Anyway there are so many ways to make the game user friendly, but thats not gonna happen so w/e

I originally typed ā€œnolifeā€ but I changed it to something more friendly.

No, there’s nothing wrong with this. There are just people who like to blow everything out of proportion.

Yes but lazy and not really worth it.

They don’t do anything anyway besides login to make people drool over their GM costume.

They don’t really care. Me and a few others had a betting pool of how long it’d take someone to tag all of the staff in previous posts I’ve made. You always win, haha.

Yes, if you want the technical reason for why this is, there’s an invisible frame where the boss is at. Your clicks don’t go through that invisible frame so they’re unable to hit the map frame to trigger the code that creates the link. Pretty funny.

There’s nothing wrong with zoomy and there’s no reason for it to be banned. It’s up to imc if they want to change the radius of data sent to the client because people will always be able to modify zoom since it’s a client-side feature. After playing for a day or two with extra zoom, the game is unplayable without it. The default max zoom is so claustrophobic. People whining about it just want an excuse for why they lose at pvp. It has nothing to do with zoomy, it’s just because they’re bad at it. The same players regularly rise to the top in pvp for a reason. What’s that reason? Skill. End of story.

You can mostly do this. This is a map addon I was working on months ago but never polished it up to a state for release. Just shows all spawn points (monsters)/map objects (collections/triggers/npcs/spawn points). And you can easily make a radar type thing for your minimap showing all data that the server sends to you, but it’s not all that useful since it’d only be things you can see anyway with a few extra notches of zoom. But it’s getting tiring playing a game where you just have to compete with bots for this stuff, anyway.

Yeah, beta had a lot of cool stuff they took out for some stupid reason.

This is awesome! Thx!

In fact you can do a addon who can make you fps better?
This can save the game!

Save us, god excrulon!

I’ve played a few MMOs, and I’ve never seen one with more add ons, or needed add ons. Not saying this one is needed, but it’s very nice none the less.

When does his first check come in the mail…?

From my Fix-It List here:

Could you do that as well or not possible? :open_mouth: :smiley:

So what about people doing infinite dezoom >_< ?

Err please, don’t say it. I’m not using it but I have seen enough screens and videos related to Zoomy to see how much it’s unconfortable to play with the default zoom of ToS.

That’s the first thing I thought when I launched ToS for the first time…
ā€œWow, I need dezoom asap, I feel like I stuck my eyes to the display ~~ā€

So true, I’m addicted to it now and don’t want to play without it.
Thanks for everything, @Excrulon !
You’re doing so much for this community, I wish IMC would hire you or cooperate with you at least.
They should implement most of the addons to the basic game…

Same reason they hid quest markers. Because they have no idea what they’re doing and are divided between wanting to make an ā€˜oldschool’ feeling game - AKA, completely devoid of modern quality of life features - and the modern realities of the market and player expectations where the majority of us recognize that no, in fact, these archaic mechanics are not fun and add literally nothing to the game.

Cool addon but I don’t think I’ll be using it, for the same reason I’m still not using Zoomy; because I don’t think it would be that out of character for IMC to just blanket ban everyone using it some day without warning.
