• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.

    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

Combat Assist MageKill: My first Lua experiment. 0.03

Server Type
🏢 Live Test
I recently returned to Everquest as a mage after a 20-year hiatus and have successfully automated certain aspects of my gameplay with a 1200-line Lua script. Although my script is unsophisticated, it can be beneficial to those who are interested. It assumes a 120 mage and is intended for single mob kills rather than entire camps. To execute, I use the hotbutton "/Lua run magekill." Once the mob is dead (or you switch targets) the script ends.

Please note that the script only provides a programmer's interface, which requires flag editing to exclude auto-attack or auto-approach during raids. If you have any constructive criticism or suggestions, I welcome your feedback. Crafting my script has been an enjoyable experience for me.

I personally use this all the time with a hot button that has two lines:
/Lua stop​
/Lua run MageKill​
I don't have any other scripts to run, so that works fine, but you likely want to let your other scripts run, so it might not work for you.

Also, it assumes your spell weave is the first 5 gems, what I use is:
  1. Roiling Servant
  2. Barrage of Many
  3. Chaotic Calamity
  4. Spear of Molten Luclinite
  5. Spear of Molten Komatite
If fighting elementals, you may want to switch out number 4 with Unmend the Unnatural.

After the fight, it reapplies some buffs and summons missing clickies. It assumes that you have my setup and my gear. Again the programmers interface, so when I upgrade my gear, I edit the code. So this might only be useful (or even playable) for the Lua coders out there.

Macroquest has significantly enhanced the fun and excitement of Everquest. As a bonus, I can now code and slay dragons simultaneously. How amazing is that! :)
