Combat Assist RGMercs 01/02/2024

Welcome to another Long winded patchnote!. I would do this By Webcam except well they are sold out EVERYWHERE! so i cannot buy one. Todays April 15th Update brings many new features for ihc..

First I imagine The Biggest Feature That everyone will Talk about Would be our New Out of group Support for DPS classes is Now working and in Alpha Stages - What this means? Well it means it mostly works but will Undergo many changes as we further Mature this feature until we like it. right now it does work and works well but Somethings are not perfect Hence Alpha
To Access Out of Group Support. First Start Up IHC as you normally would then type
/ihc AssistOutside 1
You Should see a message about the value being changed Then Drop Group Target Your main assist and Start IHC It will now function out of group.

This is Primarily Functional On DPS classes only. As well as Clerics - You can Right click a target and manually add them to xtarget slots 6-10 and they Will be healed. - Shamans, Dps some but do not heal properly or buff. - This is Coming Just not there yet. - Enchanters/Bards For some of our testers worked great for others they had a 50/50 Working situation. With some Mez issues this are also being Ironed out as we further Implment this feature. - DPS classes primarily worked great.

I recomended if your going to use Shamans/Enchanter/bards keep them in the Main group for full Functionality.

Also new to the IHC - We welcome the Monk!

We had a user Submission sometime last year by Addict - His monk has been transformed and remade into the Current IHC monk. It needs alot of love and attention and is being worked on Slowly whilst i level my Monk - Tips and suggesztions are welcome on the rotations.

We have also added a Feature That for any New class or Class that utilizes our new Spellmapping System to Spit out when you start IHC what spells are missing.
Currently This Feature is on
IHC ranger, Zerker,Bard,Paladin,Mage,Wizard and maybe others. - all classes will be moved to Spell map to support this feature. as time goes by.

Ihc Zerker has received a bit of love. You No longer have to set anything to do with the axes. it now auto detects and auto summons Default of 300 Axes of your highest 2 levels. /ihc SummonAxes turns on the highest axe and /ihc SummonAxes2 turns on the second. These default to on with a New Ini. Also in moving zerker to spellmap some previously broken or missing abilitys have been fixed and i have found it overall works better than previous. Though it will still be getting more love.


Ihc ranger - Spellmaps - Much like zerker some Small Issues and Rotational changes to better Fit the class as we moved it to spellmaps.

IHC Paladin i found and also got reports of mana issues from Spamming Disruptive Persection so i added in some toggles for Mana to nuke adjusted defaults and Also made it so On Undead we do not cast this Spell since our dps is already good for a paladin on any undead. this fixed the issue - I am aware of some weirdness with healing and Ressing and Its On the list to be fixed soon.

Ihc beastlord - Got some tweaks to avoid Charging in Like a Leeeroy Jenkins style with mobs @ 100% life. as well as a few Checks - I just want to confirm to Smokeybear! TALAtak is indeed in the util and working! - LOL

IHC Cleric fixes - Are you tired of trying to heal Corpses? US to! So we have taken a stab and think we have resolved this issue Clerics rejoice! Corpses Will be ressed not healed!

And finally.. Are your Gems SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSStuck? Ours as well.. So we have developed and put out a Alpha Fix for this. Please let us know how it works. If you experience stuck gems we want to know. Also if this is still an issue for you It is caused by Bard Quicktime spell so we added a toggle to IHC bard /ihc UseQuicktime - This allows you to turn it off completely or you can Buffblock it if it becomes an Issue.

Ihc Druid and IHC Necro are coming along nicely as is our Fully 3 way healer Revamp. Cleric Shaman And Druid! all being rebuilt.

Part of what we are doing with IHC is Unifiying and redoing the macroset into the Same Stylistic Manner. And where possible Sharing base code. so that when things break we can fix it in 1 place and not in 8 different Macros. So We appreciate Your Patience with us !

See You In another 2-4 weeks or Tommorow for hotfixes p:0

Also Strongly Recommend if you have Strange issues on a new Ihc Release First Delete your character INI file and generate a new one. With all the macro changes Some Old Inis can cause issues with the new macros.

So this is not our regular Monthly Release but it is a Update Edition with some Bug fix and feature Updates for Current content.

Some new Mage Mana routines pet routines, mod rod updates
Some Bard Bug Fixes
Some Paladin BugFixes. - As well as Adding Rez's Modrods and Annouces for heals.
Some SK Bugfixes - As well as adding modrods.
