Ok guys and gals, I fixed the INI issues! Download the new zip and you'll be gtg!

Thanks for the good eye Army. I was working fine on mine becuase I still had the old INI in my directory.
 
THKS for great job Army and Ala
i will try new version when RL permits but i was wondering i did make changes in the macro, i updated the ini source, well i think :) , so shouldn t have it ran properly ?
 
In the land of development "should" is always a key word. Yah it should have worked but who knows why it didn't after you edited it. I will be adding your postings to the INI and the Warp version if you don't mind. Also, if you get any other lower level ones post them, as this macro can be adapted to work anywhere.

Sure you can, my pleasure :)

Your mac is set up for Mara in DL
Why don t create another version for Vagli in Gunthak
I posted all the short tasks i ve done there with a level 65

http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php?t=3636

Also i will run a level 59 there and i will check if the short tasks related to that level are the same there than in DL
IF they are different, i will do them all and post them
Thus we could have 2 macs including tasks for levels 56 to 65
Or create a DL mac with low level tasks + DL mac with high level tasks and same thing in Gunthak area
Your choice rules Ala ;)
 
i have edited alta's mac to include the Gunthak tasks

I looked each one up and got about 7 or so of thejm ..

It is nice to not have the zone flooded with afk warpers..

but i guess thats gonna change now




no need to make a new macro .. alta's warp version works fine..

i run them at lvl 65 though .. no 55-62 tasks ...

when i get home ... i will post the events, ini file and pertenant info so alta can add to the original macro
 
ok Army
sounds great
all i can say at moment there are FEW warpers on my servers, not sure it will last long now ;)
 
ATTENTION PLZ TO ALATYAMI

GREAT JOB Army
THKS SO MUCH
i had same idea but you made it much much faster than me

btw, i can run the mac now :p
 
i cant get it to work. I tried all 3 macs. they just sit there spamming for a task, no task windows pop....nothing
 
Avoiding player attention whilst using warp tasks

Most of these suggestions have been mentioned several times, I just thought I'd consolidate them into one small post. As we know you are most likely to get caught by players spotting you blinking in and out, so:

1) Go to the various zones involved in the tasks (e.g. Karnors, FV, Dreadlands etc.) Find an out of the way spot and do "/zone setwp default". This resets your 'zone in' spot in those zones from the succor point, and players won't see you blinking in and out for a nanosecond.

2) Find a quiet spot in DL and make a note of the loc.

3) Ensure mq2task is plugged in. Type '/watchtask' in mq2 window before manually getting a task from any of the DL taskmasters. Accept one you want and make a note of the task number and task master number.

4) Window out and open up your taskmaster mac. Add the 2 lines I have tagged below.

Rich (BB code):
#turbo 10

#Event Zoned "You have entered#*#"
#Event TComplete "Your Task#*#"

sub main

  /ini "AutoTask.ini" "${Zone}" "${MyTasks}"
  /declare CurrentTask1 string outer
  /declare CurrentTask2 string outer
  /declare CurrentTask3 string outer
  /declare TaskSetting int outer 0
  /declare ValidTask string outer
  /declare Zn int outer
  /declare tc int outer

:asktaskmaster
  /varset TaskSetting 0
  /call GMCheck
  /warp loc xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx  <----This is the quiet DL loc noted from point #2.
  /task 3759 5488  <----task number and taskmaster number
  /delay 1s

5) Ensure the task you choose has a '1' next to it in the ini file. May be a good idea to set all the rest to zero, as sometimes the mac picks the wrong one.

6)Remove yourself from the manually accepted task.

7) Run the modified mac.

There are several advantages to all this. You are not sitting by the task master asking for tasks continually and then blinking out and back. Also, you continually get the same task without any 'wait time'. Finally, if you have chosen quiet spots for your zone ins, it is much less likely players will see you popping in and out. It's a good plan to have an 'end macro hotkey' should you wish to kill it, as this method gives you not much rest time. You can rerun the mac again no problem. :)
 
bad puss great ideas....

do people need special plugins loaded to do this?

mq2task -------------- for the taskwatch

mq2rwarp -------------- for setting your new zone in defaults





you got my redcents for that nice consolidated post...


HOPEFULLY some will read it and listen .. /snicker

8-)
 
/sigh there goes my hidden exp/plat mine......Yes you need Mq2Task for this to be efficient. Yes you need to use /zone to be efficient. If you have any warps at all in your code you're just retarded. (For this macro)

Put Hiderun and Envirofall offsets out of the main loop. Add an invis check before triggering /task # # command. Have everything as a waypoint, if you have warps in it....you're going to get caught faster.

Use the 65 goblin rogue shroud only. Or if you're [62,64] and you're a caster use an invis spell trigger for the invis check, instead of hide. If you have hide, and are a melee [62,64] (Cannot get goblin shroud yet).... Make sure your hide triggers successfully, then run mac, it ought to keep you hidden.

In the Autotask or Advtask.ini NOT MAC file. Keep only one of the tasks you're doing with a "1" value. When you request a task it acts as if it brings up the whole task window, and you can get caught in a loop doing a task you neevr even had. So for these purposes, keep everything with 0's except the task you're doing.

The first time you get the task remove yourself from it immediately, alt tab, put in the numbers into Advtask.mac the /task numbers from /watchtask (Will appear in MQ2 window), and mark the task you'll be doing with 1 in the Autotask.ini(or advtask.ini). Switch back to EQ , maximize screen again (Doesn't work well/if at all with windowed eq). /mac advtask and you're set.

Some notes. If you don't feel like killing all your graphics, particles etc everytime you run this to speed up zoning you have TWO options. One, buy a seperate computer to box this on. Or two, Just turn off your clip plane, and actor clip plane. From my experience these help the most......I get around 5 AA an hour by the way...Can go from 62-70 in one night, etc blah blah. Have fun, god damn people going to get my system nerfed though..../sigh
 
I posted this NOT hoping it would be nerfed of course, but as a method for people to bring less attention to themselves, so therefore making it less likely to be nerfed. Hope I made that clear :)
 
Because he probally likes the fact that there aren't hundreds of people using it.

But, ill wash his car if he releases it :)

Yay correct! And yes the author, did remove it from redguides. And from compiles....So.....Have to respect some wishes ....While lighting cigars with molten platinum.
 
warning for drinal AFK taskers..

Creylor is stilling in gunthak ..
and prob same person has chicoloco sitting at marana in DL

if your AFK macroing this .. they are pretending .. or not .. to "Catch" you

just be wary





I love the " I am gonna get you" folks.. ha ha ha

they are sooo fun


Army
 
i used the advtaskwarp macro in gunthak with my level 65 shaman
when i get the task = What machines are these?, the mac does not allow me to zone in stonebrunt mountains for the final Hail
I get an error message = I don t know route to that zone

I tried to solve this, modifying the rwarp.ini file, adding to line 100, which is stonebrunt mountains line, 2 codes = 202 which is POK and 224 which is Gunthak
Once rwarp.ini updated, same error message as before so i missed something or did something unusefull

any can help me get rid of that I don t know route to that zone ?
PLZ :)

Thks in advance
 
If someone has the mq2task plugin and might be willing to pass it along please PM me. I understand that people don't want this public, all I can give you is my word that I won't give it to anyone else. I want to run this macro, but do not want to be one of those who is giving a group hug to the taskmasters :P.

Good luck with that request. Am trying to fix the one i have and still can't do it. Gets the mm but not the tasks.
 
mq2task is for the tasks if you have it. mq2mission is for the MM's and missions/dons. Just for clarification...
 
Is advtaskwarp generally safe if you're monitering it, not being an idiot and running it 24/7? I really wanna work up aas, like one night I watched it for a while and got 20AAs. I would LOVE this to continue =)
 
It's not really safe anymore as you have a pretty decent chance to get petitioned by someone seeing you at the taskmaster. If you have the mq2task plugin you can get around that, but that plugin isn't public anymore and getting it is like pulling teeth :P,.

I'd expect though, if you use the gnome taskmaster in the dreadlands you will have more safety than you would anywhere else.
 
Well I was thinking about running it late at night, so not many people are in the zone while doing it. Which is alot smarter than running in during the day =p
 
BordonDrumer, as with nearly all macros there is risk in getting susp/banned. If you use the Caster/Runner version you run minimal risk, because it doesn't use any of the active hacks. Unfortunately you are looking at 15-20min per task and at level 65 you are looking at a rate of one AA every two hours. Now the AdvTaskWarp is a different story, on a scale of 1-10 I'd say that the susp/banned factor would be 6.5. It is true if yo ucan get ahold of MQ2Task that drops down to around 3.75, as you do not spam the taskmaster asking for a Task and no one will see you "disappear".

There are ways to mod the warp version, for example if you are a Fiary you can cast invis at the start of the mac and then warp around this way if players see you at the taskmaster then at least they will see you casting a spell.

Also, it depends on your server. If you are thinking of running any automated macro, always camp the zone first to get the feel for player activity.

I hope this posts help you out. If you have other questions regarding macros and afk'ing please post them in the Q&A board.
