Question - Bit overwhelmed, where to start reading, trouble shooting

[DadBod]

Hi all,

So I have installed KissAssist, and can start and stop, I can update inifiles, I can use the autologin feature.

Here is what I can't do right now:

Problem 1:
MQ2Camera:
It says in the plugin page that it is integrated in Kissassist.
I have tried /camera, /mac MQ2Camera, and even /MQ2Camera.
I have tried the "watch" feature on the MQ2Camera plugin-page, followed by "refresh" in the Redguides launcher. Nothing pops up

I am looking through the different videos I can find, but not really finding a solution

Problem 2:
I have copied from an ini-file here on the forums, so that my mage has these summons:

Buffs5=Summon Modulation Shard|Summon|Summoned: Glowing Modulation Shard|1
Buffs6=Summon Firebound Orb|Summon|Firebound Orb II|1

It works if I don't have the summoned items when I start the kisssassist macro, but if I have them already, it goes into an endless summoning loop.
(picking up the already summoned items resolves this, it then drops it in the inventory and moves on. But it is cumbersome).


Problem 3,

(and this is just me not getting the very basics)

I want to use kissassist for buffing and positioning, and ISBoxer for DPS-management.

Currently, I can't get them to load together.

Also, with /mac kissassist running, I can't manually control my toon.


Any help would be much apreciated, also directions to which guides to read.

/thanks

For this you have to initially make sure the plugin is loaded into MQ2. To do this, when in game type /plugin MQ2Camera
It will give you a few lines of text essentially telling you that it is loaded and ready to use.
While a lot of plugins come prepackaged with Very Vanilla, not all of them all loaded (installed). So sometimes you have to just load them yourself before being able to use them.
If you're every curious whether or not you have something loaded you can always type /plugin list, and it'll tell you everything you have already.

Problem 2:
I have copied from an ini-file here on the forums, so that my mage has these summons:

Buffs5=Summon Modulation Shard|Summon|Summoned: Glowing Modulation Shard|1

This I am personally not entirely sure on, but I can try to replicate the issue whenI have a few minutes. I'll try to get back to this for you.

To actively move characters around while KissAssist is running, you'll to type /melee stickbreak=1
What is likely happening is your characters are attempting to melee or follow or something and using the stick feature of MQ2. Once stick is enabled its almost impossible to just move away from. Enabling stickbreak means once you move your character with your keyboard or mouse it will let you take control of character movements and not attempt to re-stick (at least not for a bit).
Once you do that /melee save to save the setting in MQ2Melee.

I do not use ISBoxer so I can't speak for loading that with MQ2, sorry.

I would suggest always being explicit (/plugin mq2camera load) vs just being lazy and toggle (/plugin mq2camera)
As for the shard/ini, it seems problematic. Slade, may want to try the Discord, since I know you are in it.

Not all ini's are created problem-free or best.

Do you actually have the AA to cast Glowing Modulation Shard? Or do you have Radiant Modulation Shard instead that's the very last rank (6/6 under your Class AA tab)? I believe glowing is rank 5/6. This may be the primary reason it's looping since it's continuously checking and not finding that mod in your inv. You need to check your AA and see what mod you are casting. Additionally, if someone gave you different mod (you know how people love to spam cast whatever mod rank in the guild lobby area), make sure you destroyed that respective mod it if you can in fact cast the Glowing version since it will keep showing as duplicate and not put it in your inventory.

Same goes with the Firebound Orb. Do you actually have rank 2 of the spell? It's checking in your inventory that you possess the item labeled as Firebound Orb rank 2. If you are using a rank 1 orb then you need to remove the II part or if you have rank three then rename it to be III instead in your ini.

Unfortunately, when it comes to mages and summoned items, you need to explicitly state or alter in your ini file which rank/name of the summoned item to check for. KA will not automatically adapt to whatever you happen to have - it will strictly go based on the item spelled out word-for-word in your ini in these cases.

Hope this helps.

Evelyn beat me to it. Have to be super specific. Same goes for applying poisons. (poison name may not be poison used/summoned from item for instance). Also had this issue with the "dual" for buffs that have different names when cast. Pesky ass computers want everything to be so exact. Where's the ML and AI to the rescue!

Thanks, MQ2Camera works now, stickbreak still needs some fiddling from my part; it parsed the command, but still no "free casting" on the mage

Thanks. Found the issue.

Thanks,
I have a different rank (III), so that was it.
