    Question - HDD or SSD?

    Personally I use my SSD for OS only. I want to preserve life by eliminating as many writes as possible. So, I put all apps I can on my Raid array and especially move the internet temp file, temp file dir and the paging/hibernation files off the SSD. I find the OS much faster making everything...

    Question - How do you level 1-75 Quickly?

    Just for reference, found out the hard way. FTP toons only get A2 mercs - really blows. Silver accounts get A5 and Gold can go up to J5 with quest. - - - Updated - - - If you go up high enough and keep looking up (depending on camera) you can easily cross both walls. Just wait until you are...

    Discussion - Odd group for power leveling

    The equation is lower toon *1.5 +.5 round down with a max of 30. So a level 50 would have to group with a 75 to get experience. A 51 would be 51 * .5 = 25.5 +.5 = 26 s could group with a 77. Since a 60 you reach your max (60 *15 = 90) the 30 level licks in forever after that. I frequently...

    Release Aug.mac - Easily find the distillers you need for your augs v1.2 5/27/18

    I was about to write something like this as I started a completely new army and am always updating my gear but I find I don't know which augs to dump and which to add. So I made a little mod for myself like this: /echo ----- \at Aug Slot ${i}: \ar ${Me.Inventory[${ISlot}].AugSlot[${i}].Name}...

    Question - Basic macro shell problems

    Thanks for the help. You've found all the issues. I just can't get over the extra whitespace causing a problem. I thought it was some myth you heard and continued it. Turns out to be true. The comments in the include were different than the ones in the macro. I thought I was using multiple one...

    Question - Basic macro shell problems

    So it didn't like the scope of the previously declared var and flagged the next call instead of complaining about the /declare? I'm thinking global, outter, inner not global, outter, local. As far as declaring and assigning vars, I just ripped up some macro I had started so I could make a shell...

    Question - Basic macro shell problems

    I can't believe I'm asking this but I've been staring at it half the night and am now blind to whatever is wrong. Just wrote a very basic hello.mac as a starter to use as an opening shell. For some reason a Sub in my #include can't be found. Has to be something stupid but I'm stumped. Help? |...

    Question - Kiss Autocleric vs merc healer

    That's what I suspected. Thanks.

    Question - Kiss Autocleric vs merc healer

    I have 1 gold, 1 silver and a bunch of FTP accounts I just made to try boxing. I certainly admit I'm not a cleric but I am trying to level one thinking a real cleric bot will outdo a merc. Is this even a realistic goal? Can I get Kiss's autocleric to behavior as well or better than a merc with...

    Question - Pausing Bard twist

    I did find out there actually is an :OnEnd label that is called from the core right before a macro is ended. (Could be useful all over...) Could use that for part but pause doesn't have one so you are still stuck with half the problem. Haven't tried it but imagine I must work something like...

    Problem - Shaman auto clicking off Spirit of Bih`li and Melee won't use discs

    For the rog and zerker I would try DPSOn=1 instead of 2. Just a thought.

    Macro editing tip - matching braces

    Yes but you can't debug in Notepad++ no matter how pretty it looks. :) I also believe VS is configurable for colors, spacing. indenting and even help lookup functions that could refer back to the MQ2 wiki's appropriate page if someone wanted to do that work. Like I said, wasn't necessarily the...

    Discussion - RedGuides 3.0: What do you want to see?

    A new post editor that does not eat every 3rd char and remembers what the text was if you leave to look at another post or a manual and browse back (like the macroquest2 site.) This editor is killing me.

    Macro editing tip - matching braces

    Small tip now that I have started creating, editing and reading macros. I use Visual Studio to edit macro files. Any version from at least VC++ 6.0 up to the latest version of VS has one very nifty feature that I have used for many years to help read or prevent (, {, [ matching errors. If you...
