Some more good questions have come my way that I'll work on expanding upon this weekend. First was "how do I get a route into a meta?" Funny this is not too hard, if you are THAT close to seeing the want, you are really close to the technique. Let me highlight, and if needed can express mo...

Doog, you have pointed some good points. A few things in addition to the Left side vs Right side that will help maybe understand it a little better. The left side is the Condition, and the right side is the Action. Think of each line as a rule. When a condition is met in game while in that particul...

How meta lines work? The meta editor can be thought of, in simplified terms, as a left side and a right. I have come to think of the left side as "listeners" or a set of conditions that may be met. And the right side as a set of actions that will be taken if the condition (left hand side) ...

Meta organization and style When you begin to create your own meta, it will likely be simple - and complexity will grow. You can, in a single meta command, elect to perform a single action. this is common. You may also break down a single command to act on one event, and in response, create a GROUP ...

Taking charge of the meta editor: Know that metas are arranged around what is called a "state." Much more can be learned about stateful machines and finite autonoma, most of which is just not necessary get the essentials here. These essentials will get you started. All metas load into a st...

meta basics/management: I had to learn these hands on concepts first to "get" to where I am with meta work (which is intermediate at best at this point). metas are saved in real time. you don't work then "Save" you work, saves are constant. So if you want to experiment, make a co...

profiles need to have an every day use profile and a highly aggressive one that burns spectal rares. (good for gauntlet and the occasional boss fight). Need to look into how to not only load a profile (using /vt setttings load <filename>), under meta control, I think this will mean having a block of...

A point of clarity that took some time to sink in. If you are trying to setup a group larger than seventeen, you are going to need to break the fellowship multiple times. The first "break" has been covered thoroughly. In the original notes, around steps 4/5/6, some clarity may help: One yo...

Can this be simplified to help with performance (e.g. search for "Pearl" and "Fallen" and not have to list multiples?) And I think the "Corpse of..." entries are yours/personalized... Also is there a file where we can edit/copy/paste these and make a large update withou...

So Equipment. Once upon a time I was single and could just buy a computer eery so often. and yep, I wound up with an array of monitors, each with a CPU. Now, I have one CPU, and it has four monitors. To pull off sixteen clients on one machine, I've overdone it, and here goes: 4770k CPU 32gb RAM SSD ...
