    Discussion - What is your EQ Kryptonite?

    I don't do this every time I create a new character, but I've completed that damn tutorial more times than I can count. I'm strangely compelled for some reason, and I end up hating myself in the morning.

    IRL - Suggestions for a New Computer

    I plan to have 2 EQ installs, one for my main guy that I drive, and a separate one with massively dialed down settings (no particles, low textures, etc.). Still it is a good precaution. I guess I'd need to buy a 0 ram device and add 128 in myself since the ones I've seen online all seem to max...

    IRL - Suggestions for a New Computer

    Hi All, I know this has been discussed in the past, but I'm looking for a new machine in 2024 that will be pretty much dedicated to EQ, and I'd like to be able to run as many as 54 characters (maybe more if I continue to lose my mind). This thread from a few years ago was very useful for me...

    Discussion - TEST Server Raid Testing

    I went with two identical tank groups of: WAR WAR PAL CLR MNK BRD (with lots of clerics elsewhere). I constructed this way for several reasons: 1. With these two groups I can run a "Defensive" (or Final Stand or whatever) rotation where the WARx4 can rotate defensive to keep it up all of the...

    Plugin - MQ2Nav Release Thread

    I'm writing a lua script that moves around with mq2nav, then fights with KA for a bit, then moves, etc. The issue that I'm having is that sometimes my fighting is pushing me off of the navmesh and so when I subsequently try to move it fails to go anywhere. My initial thought was that I would...

    Question - Can Bags Be Positioned Programmatically?

    Another follow-up question. My script is working well now. It doesn't resize bags, but moves them to be nicely lined up. I've tested it on 4 characters. It works perfectly on 3 of them. On the 4th one I see it moving all of the bags to the correct position (I added delays so I can see what is...

    Discussion - September 2023 Patch (EQ Direct X 11 port on test Sep 12) - Live patch Sep 20 (no dx11)

    Hmmm, when I try to login to the test server my laptop is working fine, however, my desktop (where I run the bulk of my characters) is getting "Failed to load the graphics DLL!" This is on launchpad, just after hitting the big green "PLAY" button. I checked dxdiag on both. Both are Direct3D...

    Question - Can Bags Be Positioned Programmatically?

    Sorry, follow-up question... How should I have been able to find this info on my own? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I generally browse the docs.macroquest.org pages and I specifically looked here for Window info: https://docs.macroquest.org/reference/data-types/datatype-window/ Is this...

    Question - Can Bags Be Positioned Programmatically?

    I want to write a script that repositions my bags (inventory and bank) into nicely aligned rows. I want this because I grow tired of moving all my bags every time I change one bag in my inventory or bank. Is it possible to move windows from a script? Are there any examples of doing this? I see...

    Plugin - MQ2DanNet

    I see. So you're saying that maybe I create a dannet-group based on the name of the group/raid leader. Then when I setup my group/raid, I use a /dgra or /dgga to tell those folks to join my dannet-group and I communicate that way? This sounds like a pretty solid idea. I suppose that alternately...

    Plugin - MQ2DanNet

    Thanks @Sic for those suggestions. I will implement those into my repertoire, however, my example (above) was *just* an example. I have similar buttons to tell my group (or raid) to stop being invisible, stop levitating, sit down, etc, etc. Does nobody else see the upside of my suggestion? If...

    Plugin - MQ2DanNet

    This is a new functionality suggestion. I sometimes run guys solo, sometimes grouped, and sometimes in a raid. There are certain UI buttons that I create that want to communicate with the group or the raid (whatever I happen to be in at the time). For example I have an "All Stein" to tell...

    Discussion - Most Ridiculous Group Setup

    6 shadowknights. That was my first fully automated group (kissassist). I got all 6 epic 1.5 and wrote a Lua script to rotate the epics. They all ran exactly the same with the exception of one different debuff each. They taunted if they had high health and I had like 3 or 4 lifetaps on each to...

    Sports - The Stanley Cup (National Hockey League)

    I've been an LA Kings fan since a year or so before the Miracle on Manchester (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_on_Manchester). Finally got my cup 30 years later in 2012. Your Panthers team has a similar feel to that 2012 Kings team. 8th seed. Strong goaltending. Primarily a forechecking...
