Request - Auto AFK

[Dutch_SK]

Hey guys,

Since yesterday's patch your toon's go AFK after a certain time when using KissAssist.

Kinda feels like a sitting duck :S

Anything we can do about that?

*** Miscellaneous ***

- Added the ability to throttle log writes instead of opening the file and writing every line each time. The command is /loginterval [seconds]. When set it to 0 it will not throttle at all. By default this is set to one second.
- Auto-AFK functionality has been added and can be configured in General Options. Options include Auto Turn On AFK, Auto Turn Off AFK, Auto Merc Passive and Hide AFK Players.
- Warriors can now use the /shield command while under defensive-type effects.
- Corrected a texture error in the Anniversary banners in the Plane of Knowledge.

Thought so too, but I checked a few times and cant seem to find those options :S

/em looking for glasses

ALT-O

It's like right there next to hide AFK players.

Hey Dutch, just expand your Options window when you bring it up. It's at the very bottom and gets lost.

Also I doubt you'd auto-afk if your macro is actually doing shit in the game.

Hahaha thanks mate =)

It does, but I found the options now so its all good /cheer

Gah, didn't even notice that I was going afk! Yikes. All good now. Thanks guys!

It does.... at least on Test Server. I have seen toons on my team AFK while I'm using KA. I will probably go in and make adjustments to the auto feature of it.

It does actually... I was surprised too. That might be something to investigate and should go into the beginners guide so folks don't get busted.

IT WILL auto afk with macros running!! see you running around with AFK flag over your head. and also the auto merc passive sucks because in the middle of a kissassit fight my magi went afk and tank merc and my healer merc went passave and wiped my group. i was semi afk so i died and saw both mercs were set to passave so make sure you do not use that option

 

[kcrobk]

I turned it off on all my toons. When I rebooted and set everyone up again it was set to auto afk again. Not sure if this was a fluke though it happened on 6 accounts.

 

[Dutch_SK]

You need to do two clicks.

One to click off 'Auto Turn On AFK';

One to click on 'Auto Turn Off AFK'.

Then it should work =)

 

[kcrobk]

Thanks Dutch,

I checked it out today and Auto Turn ON AFK was still off after setting it for the second time yesterday. I went ahead and clicked Auto Turn OFF Afk just in case. It all seems to be working fine.

or manually edit the eqclient.ini file.

AutoAFKOn=0/1

and

AutoAFKOff=False/True



can be set there.

I had problems finding this initially too, so I made a little help image.

Clicking this image will bring you to Flickr.

Turning off auto afk is a quick fix for the curious onlooker problem, but still there is a problem in that Sny knows you are afk yet are running around.

What I mean is that, Sny must be getting ton of information of players being seemingly active (even zoning ahem..) but afk. These would be massive red flags for some future action.

The question is why does it go auto afk when you are running melee and casting through mq2? Is it because the hooks that mq2 provide are not counted as regular keystrokes?

I wonder if sending periodic tells between your bots be enough to cancel this auto afk.

Perhaps one has to rig in some AutoIt or AutoHotKey scripts to do some periodic stuff, but that would be getting silly.
