[Guide] Party/RAF Gliding

[melee]

So you want to Party? (Glide)

What you will need

1. Previous knowledge of Glider, Tasks and Custom Classes (This is not a guide on how to install Glider, Pather or a Custom Class)

2. a Glider Elite subscription

3. A decent PC, capable of running two copies of Wow/Pather

4. Two copies of WoW, linked via RAF

5. Some gold to fund them, as they will level very very quick

What you need to do

[1] Choose a combination that will work

This isn't a highly important factor, but will affect your XP rate depending on class & spec setup. For my guide, I recommend use of a warrior and priest for good XP.

The reasons for this is the warrior will charge in, saving time on pulls, having high HP and good DPS. The priest simply acts as a healbot & buffbot who will throw up a dot and wand.

[2] Install two seperate working copies of Glider/CC/Pather

(so they could each individually glide using pather if you wanted)

For PPather Installations - I recommend the use of the PPather AutoUpdater Tool Located -=> Glider Forums

This tool will allow for flawless installalations of PPather, every time!

Custom Classes are here: Glider Forums

Glider can be located on Glider

[3] use Dirt-E's Pather.DLL Patch which enables party gliding

Official Thread Here -=> Glider Forums

And there is a further guide here -=> Glider Forums

In short - you are replacing your Pather.DLL with a new version, and adding in some code to your task files for the leader, and follower.

[4] Add in some code to your Task Files

The code required to add to both task files is the same, so add this to both task files and edit appropriately

Party
{
$Prio = 2;
$Distance = 7;
$UseMount = True;
$Names = ["LEADER", "FOLLOWER1"];
$Assist = True;
$LeaderIP = "127.0.0.1"; //if using internal IP it will be 192.168.x.x
}

This will work over a LAN, and on the same PC. Leave as 127.0.0.1 if you're on the same PC, and the LAN IP if you're using seperate PC's.

It's also very important to remove the { Pull } task from the follower, so they don't pull any mobs they aren't supposed to.

You are complete - you should be able to load them up, join a party and click glide!

[5] Tweaks, Limitations & Additional Information

Characters with accented names have been reported to have issues

You can remove the harvest and loot tasks from the leader, to ensure they don't loot anything. This might not be a good idea all the time, ie if they might be picking up quest items. However with looting and harvesting off on your leader, the XP Rate will greatly increase.

You will of course need to tweak the custom classes to work efficiently together. Ie; Centurion (Warrior CC) has an option to assist party members who get aggro - which is a great function for this, as he will run back and save your priest from death.

Obviously, with the priests CC setup, you want to emphasize early / safe healing and minimize spells like mind blast as you want him wanding/ dotting and saving his mana to keep the warrior up.

There's countless possibilities for CC setups and combinations, but this is just an example. I hear warlock/shadow priest, bm hunter/affli warlock are some good combo's.

I hope you found this guide useful. If I see some interested in it, I will definately expand on it because this is something I've done since day 1 and have lots of knowledge about, so feel free to ask meaningful questions.

Lots of reposts sorry.

[melee]

I only saw the one that got posted about 1 hour ago (which wasnt there when I began posting this up)

[nikomo]

Even tho' part 4 is word-to-word with the other one?

[melee]

Even tho' I fail to read things properly?

Corrected.

That's the code required - of course it's the same word for word, any different and it wont work!

Before throwing any accusations, please actually read http://vforums.mmoglider.com/showthread.php?t=173913 and find where we both got it from!

[nikomo]

I suck cocks.

Mmkay.

Also, not everyone has access to the Glider forums because Hamut doesn't support cash by mail.

[melee]

There is no need to get abusive over the fact you don't read things properly.

One of the requirements of this post was a glider elite key - meaning forum access, meaning if you were going to follow this guide and make use of it - you would know exactly what im talking about, as you would be able to view these forum posts. Don't complain that you don't met the requirements, or the reasons why. I simply do not care.

Is this what I get for trying to make a guide here?

And there's a simple way around it - go to a service/gas station and buy a prepaid credit card, signup to glider - it's what I do. Yeah rep me later for that one.

[nikomo]

There's no such thing as a prepaid credit card here.
People can also comment on threads even if they do not plan on following them.

Acutally there's such thing as a PrePaid CC.

^^ Maybe not in his country, hence his obvious frustration

[Brutal bear]

repost.
anyway thanks for poosting this

[fossilburner]

Raf ftw)

[melee]

Search: Keyword(s): raf, party, glide

I could only find 3 posts, none of which had information on how to do it. Someone else posted at exactly the same time as me with something similar.

Anyway I hope it's still useful. I did not see anything else like it when I clicked the post button and I'm trying to contribute on some way, realising a lot of information is already available here. It does provide some good links like the PPather auto updater, and such.
