Alerts in slartibartfast's version

[troll]

I must be missing something, could someone post and example of what an alert file is supposed to look like for slartibartfast's version of seq. I have added names of mobs to the file in every which way I could imagine and yet nothing seems to happen.

Make sure you have an Alerts sub directory and every time you zone a new zone specific alert file will automatically be created. Unfortunately if you dont have this subdirectory you cant use alerts.

Thank you for responding. Now I have a directory structure of c:\wseq\myseq\ For sub directories I have /maps /filters /cfg When I have have myseq open, I click on Alerts -> Add/Edit Alerts which opens up a file called filter_zonename.conf in my /filters directory. In that file I see:

#Include # on every line that is not a filter
# Be sure to only have up to 1 extra space at the end
#
#
# Hunt will put a yellow circle around the mob
[hunt]
#
#
# Caution will draw a flashing line to the target (traps etc.)
[caution]
#
#
# Rate will draw a flashing white circle around the mob
[rare]

Ok so I want to ad a mob to my rare list as an example I have put in [rare] Derklean Korgad but nothing happens, I have tried different variations of the the spawn name such as DekleanKorgad, Deklean_Korgad, Deklean_Korgad00, etc.

Am I using the wrong syntax, file, or doing something else wrong?

it needs to be like this

#Include # on every line that is not a filter
# Be sure to only have up to 1 extra space at the end
#
#
# Hunt will put a yellow circle around the mob
[hunt]
#
#
# Caution will draw a flashing line to the target (traps etc.)
[caution]
#
#
# Rate will draw a flashing white circle around the mob
[rare]
Derklean Korgad
Banord paffa
General reparm
and
so
on


If you're doing it like this

#Include # on every line that is not a filter
# Be sure to only have up to 1 extra space at the end
#
#
# Hunt will put a yellow circle around the mob
[hunt]
#
#
# Caution will draw a flashing line to the target (traps etc.)
[caution]
#
#
# Rate will draw a flashing white circle around the mob
[rare]Derklean Korgad

it wont work, add the names vertically under the brackets of the section you want them in.

That was it, thanks for the reply. I was thinking it was the previous file where everything was listed in one string.

Hi slartibartfast,

Great work on the project.

Is there a way to log the alerts? Say I wanted to see when or if a particular mob spawned in a zone? Keep in mind I'm a newbie to the SEQ project. Any advice is appreciated.

PS: If you need some space/bandwidth, I'll be glad to help out too.
