VAQ Flightmaster 1.6.2 Beta 1

VAQ Flightmaster – Vanilla Alliance Travel Automation

VAQ Flightmaster is an extended and modernized version of the original VanillaFlightMaster – Alliance plugin for WRobot.

Its goal is simple: allow normal WRobot profiles to make better use of the Vanilla flight-master network and automatically handle longer journeys without requiring profiles to contain their own travel logic.

Main Features

• Automatic Flight Master Discovery
  Detects nearby undiscovered flight masters and keeps track of the taxi nodes known by the current character.

• Automatic Taxi Network Bootstrap
  When VAQ encounters a continent for which the character's taxi knowledge has not yet been initialized, it can automatically visit the nearest suitable Alliance flight master and synchronize the available taxi nodes.

• Smart Taxi Routing
  Compares normal ground travel with available taxi routes and uses a flight path when it provides a better route toward the profile destination.

• Automatic Cross-Continent Travel
  Detects when a profile destination is located on another continent and can automatically handle the complete:

  Eastern Kingdoms → Menethil Harbor → Auberdine → Kalimdor

  journey, including the taxi prelude, ship boarding, transport travel and safe disembark.

• Pause-Aware Travel
  VAQ respects WRobot pauses such as “Pause if player nearby.”
  An interrupted taxi-network initialization is retained and continued once WRobot resumes instead of abandoning the journey.

• WRobot Integration
  Designed to work alongside normal Grinder/profile movement rather than requiring profiles specifically written for VAQ Flightmaster.

• Settings-Safe Operation
  Temporary runtime changes required for travel are restored afterward without saving changes to the user's WRobot General Settings.

Current Compatibility

Tested with:

• WoW Vanilla 1.12.1 (5875)

• WRobot 2.8.2 (37737)

• Alliance

• Standard Vanilla/vMaNGOS-style flight-master and transport layouts

Other WRobot versions and heavily customized private servers have not yet been extensively tested.

Current Status

This release is 1.6.2 Beta 1.

The plugin has been successfully tested with:

• same-continent taxi travel

• characters with and without mounts

• fresh taxi-network initialization

• long WRobot security pauses during initialization

• Eastern Kingdoms → Kalimdor automatic travel

• Menethil → Auberdine ship boarding and disembarking

• post-transfer destination recovery

• Kalimdor taxi-network initialization

• onward taxi travel after a continent transfer

This is still a Beta, so additional testing and feedback are very welcome.

Installation

1. Download and extract the archive.

2. Place VAQFlightmaster.cs in your WRobot Plugins directory.

3. Start WRobot and enable VAQ Flightmaster.

4. Run your normal Grinder/profile.

VAQ will monitor the profile's travel destination and intervene when an appropriate taxi or supported cross-continent route is beneficial.
