Request - bard stops attacking?

[swamsam]

Hey guys, I'm having a problem. After i set afk tools, and leave my bard in the group afk, he will twist songs, but after about 10-15 minutes, he stops attacking/mezzing/twisting. I'm not sure what the issue is. Here is his INI, hopefully someone can help. I have an enchanter on the same account who can fully control everything, so if it's just a too many add issue, I can swap back to my chanter, just figured i'd try a bard with my melee setup, thanks for any advice!

[surge]

AFKTools will pause the macro if it detects PCs within the radius you set (500 in this case). So, the bard is probably detecting a PC in that radius and pausing the macro.

 

[Billy2Shoes]

I also notice from your ini that you are twisting your out of combat songs in combat. In the melee section it should be MeleeTwistWhat=1 2 3 4 5 6 7

 

[eqtrader74]

What is the last KA message you get in the bard's MQ2 window? That would tell you something about what is going on when it pauses or ends the macro.

Are the bard's song gems "greyed-out" when you come back? That is a known issue that sometimes happens when you have item activation in your ini.

 

[Sic]

Yeah, this looks like my posted ini, but the melee twist area is not correct, it should be

[Melee]
MeleeTwistOn=1
MeleeTwistWhat=1 2 3 4 5 6 7

I have DPSOn=2 --- you changed to DPSOn=1

I'd also suggest turning the AFKToolsOn=0 unless you're planning on needing them for knowing when people are around you (*edit - reread, yeah if you're going to afk, afk toos is definitely a good idea)

@eqtrader74 is correct about the greyed out icons thing you can test this by just commenting out your DPS23=Blade of Vesagran|99|Cond9 line to ;DPS23=Blade of Vesagran|99|Cond9 or DPS23=!Blade of Vesagran|99|Cond9 and putting your blade of vesagran into a holy. I believe I have a modded section in my kiss macro, which is why I no longer have that issue

 

[Tovin]

Sicprofundus— can you share the means in which you modded your kiss macro? Is there a way we could get this mod into the standard build? My bard breaks with such regular frequency that I’ve needed to remove the epic and some buff clickies from its lineup. The problem has persisted for me for at least 4 years. Really disappointing I can’t take full advantage of its abilities and I’m fearful of modding kiss myself if the problem will resurface every time the standard build gets updated.

 

[eqtrader74]

Tovin - Try eqmule's modded version of KA10 for your bard. It's included in your Vanilla download, so you already have the file. It has pretty good support on here and has the "greyed out" gem fix built in.

Your start command/hotkey is just changed to:

/mac Kissassist1004e15

It will add some more entries to your ini when you run it. You'll need to add an instant cast AA for the GemStuckAbillity.

GemStuckHelp=Sometimes the spellgems get stuck in a foreverloop, casting a altability that has a cast time will unstick it, this is a eq bug.
GemStuckAbility=NULL

As it's KA10, you may need to convert your conditions back to the older style. So like DPS1 would have a [DPS] condition following it called DPSCond1. Here are a few public eqmule mod ini's in the library, so you can see how they're setup.
