and what do you mean by "sync with the network"? Which/what network does it sync to?
Basically updating your position with the FFXIV servers after a teleport. There's code in place to compensate for lag and teleporting can trigger it, among other things, so updating your position is telling the server exactly where you are now. I can't see any other meaning behind it.

That's what was implied in that wording.

But then it will not be a 'dev teleport module'. Would love to make it move automatically specially on leves quest (xD). But then again, i could just modify the code myself (with some help of course).
It could be used in certain circumstances, but using it for everything would be in line with what you're worried about like the tele-gathering. If you have to select each destination for it to move to each time, that would be a very counter-intuitive and you may spend more time that way. If they're able to collect a lot of data and organize it I'm sure that what you're asking is in-line with what they're after in the long term with the questing.

It just logs things that FFXIV minion might need for questing that load into memory and records the relevant information about them. Saves the developers from having to visit every part of every zone (like FATEs with turn-in NPCs) on their own, and would allow covering new updates at a pretty solid pace if I'm not misunderstanding. They give an example of what it records, so you don't need to worry about anything - just a question of whether you'd like to contribute or not.
Now, I think I got everything right but it'd be great to get some confirmation so I can complete my post with a mandatory smug look. I didn't expect to see this kind of update, but it's nice and I'll go around and record everything I can. If you find yourselves with some spare time however, can you create a field for maximum level on a skill? If that was present, I'd be able to create full skill sets for leveling. I already set the minimum level for everything so that syncing with any kind of FATE/dungeon doesn't leave the bot looping a skill it doesn't have, but when a skill becomes obsolete (Thunder II > Thunder @ 26 THM if I remember right they overwrite each other) I need to manually switch it over in the skill manager to be certain there aren't any problems. I think that way would be easiest, but adding a check if the skill is even available before trying to use it would be better and would let me load up cross skills in a profile without a worry about whether someone has them or not might be easier. I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about, don't I? Cool. Sorry if I come across as a bit presumptuous, not my intent at all.
@Hans Thanks for your hard work, or should I say sacrifice? Hard to really say which is more appropriate.
