Adv Taskmaster 2.1

ok I got a question about adding something to this. My new guild doesnt allow /anon so is there a way to add /anon on at the begining and /anon off at the end, so I will only be anon while warping around. I am dumb when it comes to writing code but can read it somewhat and can copy and paste real good.
I don't see how this is going to help you avoid "detection" if that's what you're worried about.

People who'll report you for warping will do so regardless of your /anon /role etc. state.

If it's to avoid suspicion on guild tool, where guildies can wonder how you can that fast from one zone to the next, again I fail to see how going anon only during the actual /warp or /zone will help you. The moment you take off /anon and your guildies update guildtool they will see that you went from Dreadlands to Skyfire in about 1 minute anyway.

A few pointers that you could use would be:

Find where it warps/zones.
Before the warp/zone add:
/if (!${Me.Anonymous}) /anon

After the warp/zone is done, add:
/if (${Me.Anonymous}) /anon

I'm too lazy to look over the code and find where, for you ;)
 
thanks, I dont want to wave guild tag around while warping either.
 
is there a way to add a piece that would remove a task? example... Sometimes, for whatever reason it selects a task, not on the list...some random task, but it just stays asking Marana for a task and endlessly gets told that I have a task come back when I dont. Like maybe after it cycles through a full asking for tasks, put in a "do you have a task check" and then if you do a "remove all tasks" section.
 
Wouldn't want to remove ALL tasks, unless you didn't have any others. But say Saga Skins or other tasks that are loonnnngggggg and ongoing, hate to remove them just to get another task given. Perhaps make a list of tasks that are hanging up and use that as a check for the remove. /shrug

That would have to be custom for you. I have alot of tasks that i have ongoing and would hate to have them removed. It would be easier just to remove all tasks manualy (alt q then highlight and then hit remove).

Now if it is selecting a task that marana gives out then hanging up, then you need to go into your ini file and change a 1 to a 0 next to the task it gets hung up on.

I'm guessing by that phrase, that it's not the ini that is giving him the fits. I don't know why it would assign a random task though, I have run this pretty steady, up to 100 consecutive completed (that's a lot for me), and not seen one task accepted that was not "designated" by the ini.
 
am running /mac advtaskwarp2.. when task lists are being shown, even the task like Scary caves...look out below .. they will not be assigned to me for some reason..
Can anyone plz suggest what i have done to cause this or how to solve the problem... Tasks have 1 next to then but still not being assigned to start the task.
Also a task will start after it has ran thru 10 times to get task and has sat round for 15 min break.. or upto 8 times doing the whole sequence.


Thang
 
make sure your ini is in the right place. I had a problem when i saved it to the wrong folder when i first started out.
 
to be sure...where exactly should it be saved,so I dont make anymore problems for myself plz

and thnx someoneorsomething for reply.

Thang
 
make sure all your files are in the 'macros' folder within your mq2 folder.

(aside from your piggyzone, which should be in your mq2 folder)
 
am sure they are, but will double check.. Had just transfered folders from my old laptop to my new one and started havin probs..

But thns for help

Thang
 
I am running this macro too. When High and Low was not on the list it still got that task. So I ran through it manually and made waypoints and added it in. I am having problems with another one now.
 
Does anyone have a clue why my 70 Woodie Rogue is only getting 6.5% AAxp per task completion and 43PP??? This is about half the AAxp my other toons are getting and the PP is less than the 55/60 shrouds get per completion.
thanks,

*edit* shrouded down to 65.......
 
Hello all i have this working but only if im in a shroud level 50 can i use this without a shroud or is it shroud only i tryed it and all it does it keeps asking for task over and over and nothing else happens can ya point me in the right drection

OPPS !!!

Hey ctngang, I am going to be adding in a variable that you can add to your HUD. Along with that update, I'll start including my personal HUD that has alot of the Taskmaster information.

Nice thank you ok now i have another question ive been running this for 4 days now its run good the first 2 times does everything you proged it todo but for some reson when i try to keep it going it locks up sometimes on the 2nd run sometimes on the 3rd while getting a new task heres what it does after 1 round it will zone me back to DL inside the perimid watefor the timer to get to zero then warp me to the task giver or were i started then say task grab a task then stop it wont warp for the task it keeps saying task also its saying task 0/0 in the mq window is there a glitch in the loop somewere if i knew how to program i would find it but i dont know much only the basics of it also if you want a screen shot of the prob i can do that too might tell ya more..
 
I've never used taskmaster, what exactly does it do? I feel like a newb askin, but...... Is it afk exp? If so, what levels? And do you start the mac from just anywhere? Or do you have to be in a certain zone?
 
It is AFK exp. Lvls I guess 35-70. You have to be shrouded to 65 to get any higher than 66 though. Zones are Overthere, Dreadlands, etc. Instructions are included with the mac.

enjoy.
 
Which is the best level to begin these tasks and when do you feel they become no longer worth it?
 
question... I have a lvl 24 toon that i tried to do this with. When you run the mac it auto looks for the npc Marana in DL which is too high lvl mission for lvl 24. How do you get the mac to run lower lvl missions? Do you just replace Marana's name with the name of the npc like in West karana? Or do you have to modify the mac a lot more? Because when i replaced Marana's name with Tarnar's in West Karana ... i had to manually put the toon in front of that npc and run the mac. (cuz if i didnt the toon sits at zone line spaming "give me task") BUT when it asks the npc for a task it jsut cycles thru all of them but never picks a task. And it does that over and over. I'm doing something wrong.

/sigh
 
The task NPC must be targeted when you fire up the macro. Yes, you must be in /say range of the NPC, and you must be visible. West Karana is the correct zone for lvl 24.

For West Karana, you need to use the warp version as the distances/zones covered make running not a viable choice (there may not be a runner version for WK; I always use warp version).
 
Ok. I have a few pointers for the new peeps.

1. Please park your toons in a safe place away from marana for the 15 min wait. I ran to KC the other day on my lower toons and there was 5 goblins all stacked on each other right in front of marana. It was super obvious. I also added a line of code that warps me back to safe spot if max spam is reached so when it takes that 15 min breather its not just sitting there.

2. If you use the runner version please learn how to use the waypoints to run your toon around. The waypoints work most of the time but the runner will get hung up. so in those tight tunnels more waypoints is always better.

3. /anon is your friend. I run anon all the time except on raids for DKP. If someone asks why, just say that there is someone that likes to bother you even if you /ignore them.

4. I made a window for say and a window for tells. This way My /gu chat is still readable when i get back. Also all who personal tell to you are not lost. I dont answer them but if i have weird ones ill stop running it for a couple days. (puts on tin foil hat) Id rather be safe then sorry.

5. Make sure you update your hide and sneak keys everytime you run this. That means everytime you shroud. If your character does not have these abilitys normally it wont recognize them. Then when you run the mac your visible.And then the trains come,then the petitions come then the bans come. USE YOUR HEAD

I personally am not doing this atm cause this is a hot zone. I also dont run it when to many people are running it. Hope this helps some.
 
K, i parked my toon right next to the NPC in west karana and all the mac did was get task window from NPC, then it scrolled thru all the tasks in window, closed window, re-asked NPC for mission, scrolled thru all tasks in window, closed window, etc... just in a loop. It wouldnt ever select a task or attempt to do a task. I must be missing something?
 
open advtaskwarp_westkarana.inc and set all =0 to =1. PM me or post in this thread for more help. If needed I'll make a character on your server and run over and help you.

~DN
 
k, i figured out what i was doing wrong.. i was running /mac advtaskwarp instead of /mac advtaskwarp2 .. DUH

My next question now is, after it runs one mission it doesnt auto get another? So you cant run this afk all night?

do we save this as a mac or inc ?
 
and also where do we extract the 2 zips ? just inside the mq2 folder? i noticed theres already a macro folder, so its going to override the one inside, do i just copy and paste the macros into the old one?
 
having the same problem as bigdaddy but im running /mac advtaskwarp2 in front of Uggrig Skullchomper in the overthere... keeps looping trying to get missions but fails to, Getting new task 0/0 , all the way to 8/8, then max spam reached and sat me down, 15 min break. any idea on what to do ?
 
I got it to run.. but now what it does is after it finishes one mission, it zones back into West Karana and just sits at zi.... shouldnt it warp to npc after timer is up to get another mission? I stopped the mac after awhile of waiting, warped to npc, restarted the mac but now it gets a mission then throws msg in MQ2 window "bad waypoint"... I guess not all the missions are set up correctly in the .ini?

"bad waypoint" should mean your warp support INI doesn't have any entry that's called for in the INC script. Depending on your setup, you need to check mq2piggyzone.ini, mq2trek.ini or mq2rwarp.ini. Open the INC script in an editor and find the portion of the script associated with the task that was running when you got the message. Note the waypoint indicated on the line that failed (or check them all for that task) and look in the INI file for a matching waypoint entry.

Once you know which one is the problem, (1) download a current INI to get the correct waypoint setting, (2) do your own walkthrough on the task to determine the correct waypoint setting, or (3) deactivate the task in Advtask.ini (...I'm sure there's another alternative, but these are the steps I take).

Often the tasks will share waypoints, so doing your own walkthrough isn't as onerous as it sounds. Good luck!
 
Now i'm haveing another prob.. lol... there are 8 missions in WK that it will select but will not try to do them:

-This ones for the birds
-You've Ruined it!
-Visiting the Homestead
-Mining Operation
-Raised by Wolves?
-Along the Waterway
-Caution: Mud Crossing
-Coming down the mountain

I put "0" by them in the .ini but for some reason the mac will eventually change it back to "1" and still select them but will not do them.. weird? Also, is there a better zone to lvl a lvl 24 in? Can you guys give me like a lay out of what you would do to take a lvl 24 to 70 with 300+aa? Like which zones at certain levels you would move to with this mac?

Thanks

Ill make a lower level toon and try to run them. Im guessing that the lower level tasks havent been updated in a while. The ones for the 65+ are always updated. Ill try to work on them but its gonna take a while to go from 24-65. I wanted to bring up a shaman anyways.

PS if you fix something pls post it so we can update the code

tried this on my 70 btw
 
I was running them in DL and on most of the missions it would say Bad zone.Shortname.Suggest: so I had to change them to 0 and only like 1 of em ran without problems thought /zoneing myself would help but then it doesant work when I do it myself either?

Hello yall i found in AdvTaskWarp_Dreadlands.inc theres a misspelled word that stops the macro its for the One Dead Tree task open the INC and add a S to frontiermtn

so should look like

sub Event_One_Dead_Tree
/echo [${Time}] Starting: One Dead Tree
/doevents flush
/zone Firiona
/call Zoner
/zone lakeofillomen
/call Zoner
/zone veksar onedeadtree
/call Zoner
/call Taskcheck
/zone lakeofillomen onedeadtree
/call Zoner
/call Taskcheck
/zone frontiermtns
/call Zoner
/Target npc Aurueen
/call HailTarget
/if (!${Me.Invis}) /doability "hide"
/call Taskcheck
/zone dreadlands
/call Zoner
/call Counter


works for me now and i hope this wasnt posted befor i dont think so but here it is
 
I Got my toon too 25 so starting this adventure. It will take time to fix tho but it will be worth it. the 65 tasks are very stable. Already found one problem and fixed it. Will post when more of the fixes are done. If someone has a list of what levels to do what tasks that would be great, but atm im fixing them all. Ill try to post how dangerous they are too. On my 55 i ran one that zone in and out of the POK. I almost had a heart attack lol. I will run this one but i think ill change the waypoint to in a wall or something so noone sees.
