New PPather version

[quittingsoon]

Just to let everyone know there is a new PPather version. It is PPather 1.0RC1 you can find it here :

Glider Forums

It is works great for me so far...

[bobtin]

would love it if you used a non glider link so us without glider forums could dl it. +rep if you do.

[quittingsoon]

Here some info taken from the post made by GliderFlix for those who dont have glider forum membership:

Note: Do not copy your PPather.xml over as some settings were removed

If you're too lazy to set this up I made a small application to do it for you (called WindowsApplication4 below). Simply put it in your Glider root along ccode.dll and StormLib.dll (links to both of these files at the bottom of the post). Run it, enter your toon names one per line and click on button1. This application uses all default VS names for components so should be safe to run alongside WoW but I still wouldn't advise it.

Ok if you want to keep your toon data then follow these simple steps:

1.) Go into your original glider directory -> pathing2 folder
2.) You should see a file for each of your characters...select them all and copy/paste into: Your new Glider folder -> PPather -> ToonInfo.
3.) You will now need to add a .txt extension to all of these files
4.) To do this simply right the first file and click rename. Add ".txt" (without quotes) to the end. Repeat this for all characters

If you want to copy over your path info then follow these steps:

1.) Go into your original glider directory -> pathing2 folder
2.) You should see a folder for each continent you've Path'd on. (Azeroth/Kalimdor/Expansion01)
3.) Copy and paste all of them into: Your new Glider folder -> PPather -> PathInfo

If you want to keep your NPC information then:
*** This presumes you followed the steps to preserve your pathing data

1.) First of all, go into your PPather/PathInfo/Azeroth folder and find any files called NPC_Alliance or NPC_Horde.
2.) For each one: rename to Azeroth_Alliance.txt or Azeroth_Horde.txt and then select and copy them.
3.) Paste the files into PPather/NPCInfo and overwrite when prompted.
4.) Do this for each continent folder you have in PPather/PathInfo

Once this is done, that's it...you're ready to go. If you have any problems please read the FAQ below and if you are still having problems then ask.

[quittingsoon]

It is supposed to be more stable than the svn version and fixed alot of the problems that we comming up here is another part gliderFlix posted on mmoglider.com

Here's a list of the changes (that I can remember) from the SVN.

=================================
* Added exception catching to SoundPlayer in ActivityAvoidPlayers.cs
* Fixed ActivityPickupQuest.cs for if the questpickup is a complete frame
* Changed some logic in ActivitySellRepair.cs for ShouldSell
* Completely changed PPather's file structure and file names (see below)
* Toon data files now have a .txt extension
* NPC data files now have a .txt extension
* Added exception catching to SoundPlayer in Follower class
* Taken out AvoidHostiles overload in EasyMover (was only used for Avoid task)
* Completely taken out the relogger as well as its settings etc
* Removed the restart thread for changing continents (part of Leave/JoinBG)
* Taken out of Danger and Pull because they didn't work properly
* Set WalkTask and HotspotTask back to how they were before so should work again in a Seq
* Changed check to see if Mail is done...should report complete properly now
* Added Enable/DisableCursorHook() before clicking in ActivityMailItems.cs to fix the mailing last item bug in background mode
* Added existence checks for ccode.dll and StormLib.dll
* If continent/zone/subzone are unknown they will say "*** unknown" in the log rather than staying blank
* Added checks for a few files including StormLib.dll, ccode.dll and the toon data files
* If it can't find the task file that has been selected, it also checks if you accidently named it with a .txt extension

The FAQ for this version..

F.A.Q
Q: How can I make a 1-70 task file?
A: With a lot of hard work! There are a lot of threads on this, so go research!

Q: I get: unknown task type *
A: First, make sure it's actually a task that is included in this version (see post below). If it is, then you more than likely don't have PPather set up to use the DLL. Lots of posts about this on the forum so search.

Q: How do I add hotspots to my task file?
A: There are a few ways to do this.
1.) In the profile tab in the Glider window you can click on the coordinates next to "Coords:" to copy them and paste them into your task file.
2.) Open the PPather window and click the Hotspot button. This prints your current location to the Glider window log
3.) Make a macro in game to say 'HotSpot'. This works in the same way as the above but is slightly outdated

Q: How can I make PPather avoid mobs/elites?
A: PPather does not currently support avoiding mobs/elites.

Q: Can I pickup and complete more than one quest at the same time?
A: Yes you can. Look into the Tasks subforum for some examples of tasks that do this. There are also a number of posts on this.

Q: Can you make me a 1-70 task file?
A: NO!

Q: Why was Join/LeaveBG taken out of PPather 1.0RC1?
A: The code for those tasks is still very new and hasn't been tested fully. To avoid making 1.0RC1 unstable, they were removed.

Q: Why did you change PPather's file structure!? Now I have to reinstall Glider ZOMG!
A: Doing so makes things a lot cleaner so we no longer have temp. files cluttering up the glider folder. It's better to get things like this now than decide to change it later on.

Q: Why did you take out the relogger?
A: The relogger doesn't currently work properly and definitely isn't stable. It will be back in sometime, just not yet.

Q: Why was the Equip task taken out?
A: The Equip task was still very primitive and didn't work too well. I believe Orca is working on an advanced Equip task that shouldn't be too far away.

Q: Why was the Buff task taken out?
A: This is another task that's never worked too well. I don't even think anyone's using it anyway...may return in a later version.

Q: Why was the Load/AddTasks task taken out?
A: Although the latest Load task seems to work ok it's still not been fully tested and I'd prefer to keep it out for now. AddTasks simply causes too many problems.

Q: Why was the Hearth task taken out?
A: Wasn't fully tested and was very primitive.

Q: WindowsApplication4 comes up with an error about ccode.dll!
A: ccode.dll must be put into your glider root along with WindowsApplication4 and StormLib.dll

Q: WindowsApplication4 comes up with an error about StormLib.dll!
A: StormLib.dll must be put into your glider root along with WindowsApplication4 and ccode.dll

Q: Why does WindowsApplication4 ask for admin permission? I don't trust it!
A: If you're on Vista then write access is needed to create the files/directories.

Q: Why is background mode greyed out in Glider config?
A: You more than likely forgot to put your Glider key into your new copy of Glider.

[phatback]

how much more stable is this version?

Straight from the release topic...

This has been under private testing for a few days and is the most stable release so far. We feel it's necessary to have this released sooner rather than later for a number of reasons I won't go into.

[bobtin]

it would be great if you put the warlock, hunter, and priest one up for me for ppather i will +rep.

[nixon5]

Ya umm Deffidentally make a post with all the classes ESPECIALLY the priest class that ones hard to find and also make shure you get the key.xml files so we know what keys to put where
