User Interface

Every set of buttons may be disabled via the Options menu if you only plan to use a few of them.

Personal Story Teleporting

You'll encounter a ton of quests in the Guild Wars 2 Story Journal, which is found under your (H)ero panel. Completing all of this is required to access much of the content the game has to offer, and can take weeks or months for the casual gamer.

With Scotty, you only need to start the quest and then expand the Personal Story menu. This will provide one-click buttons to get you to where you need to go instantly, rather than spending hundreds of wasted hours traveling.

Click Teleporting

Getting around the massive game world can be extremely slow, even after you have access to all of the mounts.

Scotty allows you to configure a modifier key, such as CTRL, and then holding that modifier key and clicking will teleport your player to the mouse cursor location.

Auto-run is unaffected, so you can easily keep up if you're following a Commander. You may also teleport while riding your mount.

This feature is accessed via the Options menu, and has a number of other configurable options for power users.

  • On-mesh Only - This will prevent teleporting to locations that are off the mesh.
  • Downed check - This will prevent teleporting while your player is in a downed state
  • Teleport on Key-Up - This will teleport to the mouse cursor when you release the modifier key, rather than when you click
  • Timer - Primarily for PvP, this prevents teleporting more often than a desired number of seconds. Other players won't know if you have a legitimate teleport skill or not.
  • Range - Also for PvP, this prevents teleporting further than a set distance. It's designed to prevent other players from noticing you're using a hack rather than a legit teleport skill.

Note that when your cursor has a green circle, teleporting to that location is OK. If your cursor has a red circle, teleporting to that location won't work. (e.g. Too far away, or into the sky.)

Convenience

Scotty provides the ultimate convenience by allowing you to instantly get to commonly-used NPC services on your map.

  • Vendors
  • Repairs
  • Banks
  • Trading Posts
  • And more…

World Completion

Scotty allows you to automatically teleport through World Completion in Central Tyria, turning this epic journey into a fairly trivial task.

World Completion comes with some great perks and every player strives for it.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Map_completion#World_completion

Instructions:

  • Download the Map Completion Tasks from BOX. https://app.box.com/s/9fhpdu4n8rcshyjfigs4fo8j057nqgwm
  • Unzip the .bttask files to the following folder. C:\MINIONAPP\Bots\GW2Minion64\LuaMods\GW2Minion\TaskManagerProfiles
  • Restart the game client or Reload Lua from the MMOMinion menu.
  • From the Main Menu, choose Custom Tasks and then select the Map Completion profile.

  • Click the Play button to start the profile.
  • Once the Map Completion Custom Task is running, Open the Custom Tasks section of Scotty.

i.vgy.me_zvudqu.jpg

  • Click the “Toggle Semi-automatic” button and you'll hear an Enabled sound, at which point Scotty will teleport you to the next custom task location at the interval specified. (default 10 seconds)
  • Tick the box for Player Detection and configure a radius if you don't want Scotty to teleport you automatically while other players are nearby.
  • If the bot gets stuck on any given task, simply choose the next task from the Selected Task box in the Main Menu. (not all of the Custom Tasks are perfect)
  • When the 1-40 Map Completion has finished, repeat these steps with the 40-80 Map Completion profile.

NOTE: I highly recommend using 10 seconds or more to prevent detection during map completion tasks. You can teleport as often and rapidly as you like outside of doing map completion or unlocking Vista/POI/WP's.

World Map

Don't you hate it when you know where you need to go, but then have to search endlessly for a specific Map and Waypoint on the world map?

With Scotty's help, never hunt for something in the World Map again!

Map-Click Teleporting

Map-Click Teleporting using Personal Waypoints! Go anywhere you want on your local map instantly!

Open the map and set a Personal Waypoint using ALT + Left Click..

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Waypoint#Personal_Waypoint

Either use the Personal Waypoint menu's Teleport button to teleport near your Personal Waypoint, or use the Automatic option to have Scotty teleport you there automatically when you use ALT + Left Click.

Waypoints

Save some silver by teleporting to any waypoint on your local map for free!

Waypoints are generated dynamically and hovering your mouse over them will show if they're discovered and/or contested.

Search & Alert

Search for any NPC, Gadget, Map Marker or Event and optionally have Scotty alert you when found, even if the game is running in the background!

Simply tick the box for the type of entity you want to search for, then enter a partial name to search for.

Scotty supports searching for up to 3 different things simultaneously.

Daily Loot

Scotty allows you to loot hundreds of things in the game world daily that can result in extremely fast gold generation.

You may optionally have Scotty attempt to loot automatically for you after you click the teleport buttons. This is configurable in Options \ General Options. (Interact after teleporting)

And because you'll be getting SO MUCH daily loot, Scotty includes an option for Fast Salvage. This works extremely well if you have the Copper-fed Salvage-o-Matic. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Copper-Fed_Salvage-o-Matic

  1. Download the Daily Loot text files from the BOX and place them per the instructions for Coordinate Text Files. http://wiki.mmominion.com/doku.php?id=scotty#coordinate_files
  2. From the Load Coordinate File menu, choose the file for the map you're on.
  3. Click away and get rich!

NOTE

  1. Configure the items you'd like to salvage in Salvage manager. This is available under MMOMinion –> GW2Minion –> Salvage.

How do I create keyboard shortcuts?

You may create shortcuts (hotkeys) to move through the list quickly.

MMOMinion –> Shortcuts User Functions –> New Name: Next Loot Code Section (bottom): Scotty.NextLoot() Click OK Key Binds –> New Name: Next Loot Function –> Next Loot Key: <Whatever you want> Click OK

MMOMinion –> Shortcuts User Functions –> New Name: Last Loot Code Section (bottom): Scotty.LastLoot() Click OK Key Binds –> New Name: Last Loot Function –> Last Loot Key: <Whatever you want> Click OK

Please note that these keyboard shortcuts will do nothing until you have a coordinate text file loaded.

You may additionally choose to create buttons instead of assigning keys if desired.

Coordinate Files

Load a list of coordinates into clickable teleport buttons!

BOX Coordinate .TXT file storage: https://app.box.com/s/z4faw7etzus1stlaixix4a3qgw0vsn1g

Scotty supports two options for storing your coordinate .TXT files.

  1. Place them directly in the \Scotty folder.
  2. Create a \Scotty\Coords file to organize your .TXT files into sub-folders. (example below)

NOTES:

  • Make sure Minion is installed somewhere other than your \Program Files\ folder, which has special permissions.
  • Make sure you are on the correct map for the file you're loading, otherwise your teleport location may be under the ground or in the sky.
  • Please reload LUA (CTRL+L) after modifying the folder or file structure.

Recording Tools

Create your own coordinate text files with easy-to-use recording tools.

Recorder Instructions

  1. Enable “Show File Recording Tools” in the Options menu. (This is OFF by default to save space.)
  2. Under the Search drop-down menu, type in your search text. (e.g. “touched cache”)
  3. Check the “Recording” box. You should see the number next to it increment for each search result found.
  4. Leave the “Recording” box checked as you scout the zone. It will automatically record anything new that it finds.
  5. Uncheck the “Recording” box when you've found everything.
  6. Type a name into the file name box and click Save. It will automatically append .TXT to the file name.
  7. Verify your file is able to be loaded from the Load Coordinate File menu.

How to Manually Add Things

  • Option 1) Target something. Give it a name and click the “Target Add” button. Verify the number of items recorded increments by 1.
  • Option 2) Stand somewhere. Give the location a name and click the “Player Add” button. Verify the number of items recorded increments by 1.
  • Option 3) Open the .TXT file in Notepad. Type a name and the x,y,z coordinates separated by commas.

Temp Locations

Add Temporary Locations to teleport back and forth from at any time.

This is extremely powerful in WvW for building Siege or repairing gates/walls as you teleport back and forth from your supply.

Q) How can I save Temporary Locations?
A) Temporary Locations are intended to be… temporary. I've made it very easy to create your own coordinate text files if you want to save locations to a file. http://wiki.mmominion.com/doku.php?id=scotty#recording_tools

Teleport Timer

A timer helps you remember the last time you clicked a button to teleport to a potentially undiscovered location.

Automatic-Sync

Your character will automatically sync after teleport, making anything you teleported to available for use.

If the bot is running, the navigation path will be automatically cleared and recalculated after teleport. It'll keep grinding or doing whatever it was before without a hitch!

And SO MUCH MORE!!!

  • Teleport to any undiscovered Vista.
  • Teleport to any undiscovered Point of Interest. (POI)
  • Teleport to Heart Quests.
  • Teleport to Events.
  • Teleport to Hero Points or Mastery Insights.
  • Teleport to any gatherable node within ~5000 range and automatically gather them.
  • Teleport to Commanders. (Never get left behind again!)

Should I wait to buy?

  • No! Scotty will never go on sale and the price is likely to increase over time as the value continues to grow in line with the functionality, expansive scope of Guild Wars 2 and future expansions.
  • Every purchase is backed by the MMOMinion 3-day money-back guarantee! http://www.mmominion.com/misc.php?page=refundpolicy

Disclaimer

  • You assume all risk associated with the use of this addon.
  • A secret algorithm is used by ArenaNet to automatically suspend players for discovering POI's, Vistas and Waypoints too quickly. I provide you with a teleport timer, and expect you to use some personal restraint. With that said, I do NOT prevent you from teleporting as fast as you want.
  • I've received NO REPORTS of players being suspended from normal use of this addon, even when used excessively, since it was released in August 2018. I will do my best to keep the community informed of any changes. In the meantime, please adhere to the recommendations and do not unlock maps too quickly or teleport-gather for extended periods on US/EU servers.

Teleporting Guidance

  • When doing MAP COMPLETION, I do not recommend teleporting faster than once every 10 seconds. Map completion counts as anything that would advance the map completion in the upper left-hand corner of the (M)ap screen towards 100%. I personally use 3 seconds on my test accounts, and suggest 10+ to keep YOU safe.
  • Do not complete achievements too quickly when loading a coordinate text file that explicitly says “DO NOT COMPLETE TOO FAST” in the file name. These often have public leaderboards and you don't want to get caught completing a race in an impossibly small amount of time.
  • I do NOT recommend teleport-gathering on US/EU servers, but the option is there due to popular demand. If you insist on doing this, I suggest stopping after an hour or two max. Gathering too many crafting materials is the single riskiest thing you can do, whether or not you're teleporting. (Note that LS3/LS4 materials do not seem to be tracked. e.g. Winterberries)
  • If you're going to teleport around, I highly suggest playing a short Asura and wearing an inconspicuous wardrobe. Don't call unnecessary attention to yourself by playing the largest Charr character wearing neon sign armor. Unequip everything that leaves a trail behind you or has particle effects, such as legendary weapons.
  • Remember to leave your party and remove your Commander, Mentor or Guild tags before teleporting around. These things can result in other players noticing your “dot” teleporting around the map.
  • Outside of the aforementioned caveats, teleport as fast and often as you want. Remember that players pop in and out of the game world all the time for various reasons, so you can always make an excuse in the very unlikely chance someone calls you out. Examples: “My previous map instance had too few people and I was forced to join this one. I just got back from PvP/WvW. I just reconnected. I used a Teleport to Friend device. I just completed my Personal Story instance. I'm lagged and rubber-banding. You must be lagged. etc…)
