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

General Discussion
#1

Can’t find a boss because of the pro players that monopolize them 24/7?! All you need is this boss tracker! Shows a circle on the map where a boss is and alerts you in chat when one is alive. Doesn’t work for gimmick bosses such as templeshooter, archon, canceril, etc.

Discovered this a long time ago (built in functionality but imc had the code commented out, haha!) Gave it to a couple other people but honestly, they only ever talked to me when they wanted addon related stuff. Pretty bored of the game currently and find myself only ever logging in anymore to do addon related stuff, so may as well let others make use of it.

Some easy script modifications you can make to this if you want are to have it automatically send a message to your guild or send you a text message when a boss spawns. Being logged on an alt account and camping a channel works nicely as well. Super easy to get timers!

The commented out code imc left in:

if monCls.MonRank == "Boss" then
	--�ʵ庸�� ��ġ �˷��ִ°� �ּ�
	--SET_PICTURE_QUESTMAP(monPic, 30);
	--ctrlName = "_MONPOS_T_" .. info.handle;
	--local textC = frame:CreateOrGetControl('richtext', ctrlName, 0, 0, width, height);
	--tolua.cast(textC, "ui::CRichText");
	--textC:SetTextAlign("center", "bottom");
	--textC:SetText("{@st42_yellow}" .. ClMsg("FieldBossAppeared!") .. "{nl}{@st42}" .. monCls.Name);
	--textC:ShowWindow(1);
	--textC:SetUserValue("EXTERN", "YES");

I don’t get why they decided to comment it out. It’s a nice feature.

Every addon sends messages to the player? A lot of addons give an advantage to the player using it? BetterQuest. Zoomy. Cooldown timers.

I don’t think this is in a grey area. It’s as safe to use as zoomy and that isn’t getting banned anytime soon given that Nexon have used it in their trailers for the game.

Instead of banning they can just patch it out in an update with one line of code. I’m going to support that because honestly worldboss timers are a HUGE incentive for people to join guilds and without them there’s just gvg and a few so-so guild events. But I don’t see why casual player should be banned for not wanting to join a guild if the code to see where the worldbosses are in the game exists in-game for the players. Don’t punish players for using this, just remove it from the code.

Doesn’t benefit the nolife players much and just gives casual players a boost. I don’t think IMC should hurt the casual players.

Very cool.
Would it be possible to add the bosses icon in the middle of circle, as additional fluff?

#8

I hope there will be an add on that can check the locations of the GM in TOS <3

I would laugh because then they would ban half the player base if not all the people left for using addons. Which would be more bans they have ever made at any point compared to bots and legit hackers. This will pretty much put the game down for good in one fell swoop killing it even faster.

you can automattically send messages by having a bot do it for you, unless i read that wrong.

you can show where a monster is on your map, normal player have to look around for a little while

#19

You can do this without an addon tho just by attempting to link locations so technically normal players do have access to this functionality it’s just a bit slower

#20

Why did you do this…? :confused:
