Question (newbie)

[Ddrum]

Is there a way I can port short distances with isx. Like from one side of a mt. the other side or threw a wall ect.. If so how? is it a script? or is it built in like radar? basically are the chromo 47 type features I can access for dungeon exploration. Thanks for your time.

There are only 3 "active hacks" that are in ISXVG.

The first involves porting from one location to another. You can only port to a location that you have already visited and to which you have created a VGLoc. It must also be in the same chunk that you are in currently.

The second is a speed hack that, at maximum, will make you almost as fast as the fastest bard.

The third is a speed hack that gives you a short duration SUPER FAST speed with a fairly long cool down.

Each of these has a timer so you can't abuse it.

All of this information is in the ISXVGChanges.txt file ...which you should read thoroughly:

* Added a new METHOD to the 'vgloc' datatype: "Port".  This method will instantly teleport you to the location.  Please note that it will only work for
  locations within your CURRENT chunk.  (Type 'vgloc list' for the list of vglocs in your current zone.  Also, see the wiki for information on how to add,
  modify, and delete vglocs.)
  EXAMPLE:  1)  ISXVG:AddLoc[My Favorite Spot]
            2)  walk 100 meters away
            3)  VGLoc[My Favorite Spot]:Port
                (Note:  VGLocs are persistant and will save in your vglocations.xml file.)
* Added a new METHOD to the 'character' datatype:  "Sprint".  This method works as a toggle -- while it is on, you will be able to run about as fast as 
  a well equipped bard, ALL THE TIME.  (This method works as a toggle, use it again to turn it off.)
* Added a new MEMBER to the 'character' datatype:  "IsSprinting".  A bool type that returns TRUE if you're currently using ISXVG's "Sprint" method.  Please
  note that this has NOTHING to do with Vanguard's "sprint" ability.
* Added a new METHOD to the 'character' datatype:  "Afterburner".  This is a method that you can only use every 10 minutes and only lasts for 10 seconds.  It
  will make you run REALLY, REALLY fast.  (Be careful of fall damage!)   Please note that the 10 minute timer starts when you first load the extension, so it's
  NOT going to work when the extension initially loads ..you'll have to wait 10 minutes.
* Added a new MEMBER to the 'character' datatype:  "AfterburnerReady".  (bool type)
[PLEASE NOTE:  Descretion is a MUST when using these new methods.  At high speeds you may not look 'normal' to other players, so you should use it sparingly
               and preferably when no one else is around.  Use common sense!] 
* Fixed issues related to being able to toggle off the new "Sprint" method after using the "Afterburner" method
* Modified the new "Port" member of the 'vgloc' datatype so that it only works once every minute.  It will be available one minute after you
  load the extension.
* Added a new MEMBER to the 'character' datatype:  "CanPort"  (bool type).
* The "Sprint" method of the 'character' datatype will now take an optional parameter indicating the percentage of the max isxvgSprint speed you would
  want to go.  For example, if you do "Me:Sprint[50]" ..you'll go 50% of the max isxvgSprint speed (which could be slower than your normal running speed.)
  If no argument is used, you'll go at 100% isxvgSprint speed (as it worked previously.)

I do not believe in completely ruining the game in the manner that Chromosome 47 did; therefore, I do not release all of the same features. Moreover, the features that I do release come with restrictions. It's a matter of being respectful to the game and to its developers. Blatent hack applications like Chromosome 47 are an abomination.

I agree. I just needed to know how to port. For late night solo dungeon exploration. Thanks for answering this for me
