Lithril Ashwalker.6230 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 where are the boundaries for revealed, the one that pulses and effects those staying in stealth 6 or more seconds, located?i wanted to make an overlay with taco to show it like a range circle. i need more data than "just towers" like a range number from the dead center of a tower would be nice to know.

Stand The Wall.6987 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 this sounds like it may be against the TOS, would be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A visual aid to show where the trigger spot wouldn't be either.Taco isn't supported but not prohibited either. A dev could comment that here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's a bit of blurry area I suppose. One could memorise the exact tiles where the cutoff is without taco, just like for 'determined' areas. Dev input would be great. I just poke around and see where I get marked and immediately jump out. After a while you just know exactly what areas are affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rng.1024 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 There was similar post to this about a year ago that showed a taco overlay with multiple range increments indicated. The post got removed almost instantly by the moderators. Given that it would indeed give you an in-game combat advantage over others who don't use the overlay, it's very much against the TOS.

Its neat the first time, but a slog afterwords. I was assured that it was allowed as its an overlay and not a mod. I enjoy being able to put map completion on mental autopilot while I watch anime, or something.I wouldn't be against a feature that outlined anything that would reveal you or put the marked debuff on you. Might make for more strategic sieging with less of the guesswork. I suppose the counterargument would be that that information grants an inherent visual advantage compared to those who don't use the program. But then, the same is true of a lot of the other features in pve.~ Kovu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithril Ashwalker.6230 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 If i just knew the boundaries or at least the center point of the Watch Towers, I can start on the overlay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Tekkit and most of the TacO pack makers tend to manual mark off the locations informally first and then use TacO to record their path. They then edit the marked path with various markers as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charrbeque.8729 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Sounds like the OP is a thief that's tired of being spotted/marked by sentries and objectives with the watchtower guild upgrade, and wants a visual representation of the radius making it easier to avoid so he can get around and gank people without being noticed.That would defeat the purpose of sentries and the watchtower upgrade, wouldn't it? Essentially it would be an advantage having a visual representation of the radius around sentries and objectives because it would make it easier to avoid getting marked by accidentally getting too close.Besides, it's not hard to figure out on your own how close you can get before being marked if you play WvW enough.

Just listen for the sound ques. Marked is for noobs. If you play WvW enough it is easy enough to deal with thieves without all the extra training wheels.It goes both ways :)Besides, OP was just asking for some info, no need to start attacking and labeling him.
