Assassin-a-Nator Updates

Share:

In the blink of an eye, the Assassin-a-Nator went from version 0.22 to 0.25. Team Spockholm is working hard to make improvements and implementing ideas and suggestions from fans on the and the Spockholm Mafia Tools Fan Page and User Echo Site. These are just the recent updates. For a more detailed analysis and complete instructions on how to use the Assassin-a-Nator, go here.

Configuration Button

One thing that many players want is the ability to heal in other destinations besides New York. At this time, that is not an option.  When you click on the "Config" button, you will see a settings option for "Heal city". For now, New York is all you get but Team Spockholm is working on adding the other destinations. You can set your threshold to heal in this spot. The default is 50 but that can be adjusted.

For those players who want to use the Assassin-a-Nator but don't want to spend their New York cash, there is now a work around. Click on "New York" from the configuration settings and healing will be disabled.

When your health gets below the threshold that you set, the Assassin-a-Nator will stop. At this point you will need to travel and heal manually. Attacking won't resume until you click the "Start" button.

There is a hard coded setting to skip iced targets on the fightlist. This is what the Assassin-a-Nator does. Nothing will happen when you click on the "Skip Iced" button and it is mainly there so players know that is the intention.

The Assassin-a-Nator has the same issue that you do when you manually attacking. Targets are often listed as alive, but when you attack them you find they are already iced. This happens when targets get iced after the fightlist is loaded. Just because you often see this, doesn't mean the Assassin-a-Nator up and decided to attack iced targets. This is something that Zynga needs to figure out how to prevent and I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

Family ID Filter

3 days ago, I went over the name and Family filters that were added to the Assassin-a-Nator (1). To filter out a Family by link was somewhat of a process requiring a second bookmarklet. That is no longer needed as a link is now provided for easy filtering.  To filter out a Family that has registered with the new Family Module, go to their page and click on the "Copy (beta!)" button.

Now open up the filter and click on "Add link" located under the Family ID filter.

Paste the Family profile link into the popup and select "OK".

The Family ID# will magically appear and you won't have to worry about the Assassin-a-Nator attacking members of the Family you want to avoid.

Blacklist

If you lose to a target, the Assassin-a-Nator will put them on the Back List. If target on the Blacklist reappear, they will not be attacked. At this time, the list will only apply to your current run. Earlier in the day, there was an issue with targets meant for revenge attacks being added to the list. That has been fixed and now only targets you lose to will be added to the Black List. You will see them in the action log.

Strength

Your overall equipment attack and defense strength will now be visible at all times. In the previous version, these only appeared if you acquired loot that would improve them.

Loot Log

The loot log now lists the quantity of each item that you own.

Ices

Ices on the Assassin-a-Nator just got cooler. You can see the annoying red X that we see on the fightlist has been added to action log entries after you ice them. I like seeing the red X when I was the one who iced the target.
