You will have a nice setup when you get everything going. With a tank, healer, and crowd control you could probably even do some more advanced botting if you want. What levels are your toons? If they are still in the under 75 range, you might start off with the Forgotten Halls macros. I run...

Flash, Are your chipset drivers up to date? nv4_dsp.dll is the driver for sound processing on an Nvidia chipset (dsp = digital sound processor). If the driver is current than you are most likely having issues related to the 64bit edition of Windows and the 64 bit driver for it. I would...

That does seem likely Jakevsnake. I use WinEQ2 and have been crashing almost every time I try to leave the character select screen. Camping toons and switching characters works no problem though...just can not close EQ normally. The Po(o)r expansion has caused me a lot of headaches with...

It's not mine and I only recently discovered the godly goodness that is MQ2Melee :) Up until a few months ago I was coding all the different things I wanted to happen into my macros. MQ2Melee takes care of all that stuff, it even helps casters (ie. auto back off during enrage). One of the best...

You could try using MQ2Melee Stropfo. MQ2Melee (Wiki entry) MQ2Melee (MQ2 forums) Once you set it up it is really nice :)

What happens when you do /varset ItemTo Fine Plate Breastplate ? I've been doing a lot of these types of comparisons in my macros, but with mob types/names, etc. and I definitely feel your pain. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out what will parse correctly. My guess is that the first echo...

Hmmm, I'm not at my EQ pc right now or I'd check which version I am using. I do know it is a couple of versions behind the current one. Anyway, I can /gate, /zone, /fade, everything with no problems at all. Like I said, this is with an older version of TheZ's compile. Everything works great...

If the bard's name begins with an M then he is the one I saw in RCOD recently doing that. I saw the mobs going nuts around this guy on the map and it looked like he was not moving. After about 15 mins I ran over there and sure enough, there was a bard Mxxxxxx running in circles kiting a bunch...

You could try the undead in Nadox. There are whole rooms of undead in there and I don't remember them hitting all that hard. Then again, I was playing my mage so they were mostly hitting my pet :) From the bridge area (bridge over the lava) head west into a large room with rooms coming off of...

Capt, Is there a /target xxxx command right before that level check line? If so, you may just need a very slight delay between the /target and the /if line. I have this problem in some of my macs. You get null from the /if line because as far as MQ is concerned, you do not have a target. Lag...

Grassdunes, you can just type /target npc xxxxx and it should skip the corpse automatically. There are a lot of different conditions you can use with the target command, check out the MQ2 Wiki for a full list.

I use something similar to what SOS posted. Put in a variable that will reset or have some code written so that when you escape you don't end up fading over and over again. That way if you get knocked to 7% or whatever, you will fade once, then wait until your health is above a certain amount...

Yeah, I use shammy/sk/mage and it works great. Shammies have such insane mana regen that I can heal my shadowknight, myself, my pet, slow, malo, and dot (or kitty proc buff) and I never run out of mana. Mana regen really is the key here. My pet cleric can not touch my shammy when it comes to...

Ngreth on the Eqtraders board has already said that they will not take a trophy away even if you got the task and finished it without having POR. So you should be ok Bloodcell :)

Crypto is right about this. In today's EQ there is no reason to do it the way it was done in 99. First of all, you can't. The way xp is distributed is different with hotzones and zones with known higher xp per mob, the removal of most hell levels, etc., etc. Secondly, you can learn a lot about...
