Mixed feelings. I like that they're looking for people with experience playing the game and not just randoms. They seem to be targeting entry level talent for EQ which doesn't feel great. It would have to be a pretty special hire that could come in with an AS degree and 2 years of coding...

They're banking on addiction to their game meaning people won't actually say ok bye. Just go free to play, continue playing how you want without investing in it, cost them the same amount in customer support.

This is great Sic, it really got me started down the right path for setting up my driver's hotkeys. I've tweaked the concept a little in my implementation. Here's how I updated the Pause On hotkey that Sic shared: Setup - I use MQ2DanNet for my group comms. All of the toons running CWTN...

Yeah, I decided to look it up after I posted too. Something like this should work then. /echo ${If[${Zone.Name.Find[']}||${Zone.Name.Find[,]},${Zone.ShortName},${Zone.Name}]}

You could /echo ${Zone.ShortName}, I'm pretty sure KA uses that name.

You can customize what is shown for player names in the MacroQuest.ini file. Scroll to the [Captions] section, and edit out this pattern: ${If[${NamingSpawn.Guild.Length},\n<${If[${NamingSpawn.GuildStatus.NotEqual[member]},${NamingSpawn.GuildStatus} of ,]}${NamingSpawn.Guild}>,]} To replace...

I would go into MacroQuest.ini, and in the section with the [Aliases] header, add a command like: /sayname=/bc ${Me.Name} With this, every toon has a command /sayname that translates to /bc ${Me.Name} Then, in your in game macro you can do /bca //sayname This tells every toon to execute...

PM'd you guys with a recompiled version with changes to max skill. Let me know if working and I'll post it up in Level 2 Plugins section.

I believe to check PC buffs you need a Target object, not a Spawn object. If the group members are your characters, you can configure their inis to check and request buffs with eqbc, but no way to monitor buffs in group that I've seen using MQ2Melee. Example: You want your cleric to cast...

Looking at the source for MQ2AutoForage on MQ2 site right now. It looks like in the CheckAbilityReady method if Forage skill >252 it is saying the skill is not ready, and therefore forage won't fire. Kind of a weird condition to put in the method, but maybe there's a reason. I'd do a downshit...

A reward like a unique title that you get for a character on the next iteration could be cool. If the first challenge was something like, kill all the dragons through Velious, you could start the next season with the "Dragonslayer" title or something.

I fully encourage everyone to vote on the progression server they want to play on. But, as a progression player, if you don't plan on playing on the new server, I'd appreciate an "I don't care" vote, as I'm sure many others would. We're a little bit paranoid about voting, given the history we...

I think you already found the best solution, in deciding whether it is a buff (and maintained out of combat) or a dps spell (and maintained in combat). Any solution with the timer is going to be shaky at best, and at least by using KA to handle it you will get fairly consistent results. If you...

Ooh, recursion in macroquest macros. I hadn't even considered that. I might have to play with that some. So I played with it some... Updated my first post with a recursive solution. - - - Updated - - - That's interesting. In fact, that fix would work even if rem.Length == 3. If I'm thinking...

I haven't done it, but I think you can declare variables in a holyshit, so you could declare a Timer in a multiline, check if the timer exists/is running, etc. It might be good to think about what you are trying to do with the delay, though, and determine if there are some other conditions...
