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.Read more
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,/shoutor 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,/targetover impossible distances when/nav spawnwould 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
Question - buffgroup requires mq2eqbc/dannet
- Thread starter Grimm68
- Start date
EQBC requires a server. If you don't want to setup a server, use dannet which should do everything for you automatically. Otherwise, there are a couple of guides around that help with EQBC server setup. Here is one random one I found: https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/eqbc-idiots-guide.288/

I too struggled with Shm buffing. I have a thread on here somewhere. I really never figured out why.
What I did and how I used buff group, still wasn't 100% success.
while on my toon I was driving with I did
/bct NAMEofSHM //buffgroup
and tried
/bcg //buffgroup this gives more spam in the MQ chat window.

Let me give it a try... Working with a low level shamy what I do is for any spell that is a group buff (this holds for other classes) is I set:
Buffs1=Groupbuffname|Me
Example 1 would be Buffs1=Pack Spirit|Me <----------this then would cast the Pack Spirit buff on me as well as the rest of the group.
Example 2 Buffs1=Talisman of the Beast|Me <---------this is the first group buff for a shaman. Only have to cast it on myself and it will also buff the group.
I think I might have misunderstood what you were saying. I went back to KA and looked up the command buffgroup. This is so far what I have found.
Their is not much on the command and its usage but I think that it applies to just to caster that uses it. So I take it that used on a shaman it will have only him recast his buffs. You would have to then go to say the healer and do the same for him. In this case the Shaman would recast all of his buffs on the group members as specified buy what each spell is set up for.
So a command to have all casters in the group to recast their buffs I think would be /bcg //buffgroup or /bcga //buffgroup . The first will have everyone except the one giving the command to rebuff. The second would include the one giving the command.
I hope I didn't confused anyone.

Got it working. Check your KA ini to make sure EQBCOn=1 and not 0. Like khardin10 said make sure you have the buff flag set correctly. Probably worth doing a quick look over your buff settings to make sure they are all correct. Loading the default ini from the library had some errors. Going through it and making these changes then reloading KA worked.
You have to remember, those inis in the library are all user submitted and have zero oversight or bug checking. Literally anyone can submit a new ini. Any errors will not get fixed unless that person who submitted the ini comes back and edits the resource.
