Problem - Can't make changes to ini file

[Hoggins]

So I'm trying to improve the performance of my lvl 115+ group and I noticed that my bard is using a KA ini file that is utilizing Wave of Somnolence and Slumber of Zburator. Looking through my spell/song book I noticed that I had Wave of Sleep and Lullaby of Nightfall which seemed to be better options so I proceeded to make the changes to the ini file and when I exit out, I clicked the save button to make sure the changes were saved.
I went back into game and from bard ran /mac kissassist hotkey I have made up but the change didn't take effect.
I went back to the INI file to make sure it saved properly and I can see the change to the new songs in the file, Wave of Sleep and Lullaby of Nightfall so that is confirmed.
I went back to bard and completely logged him out and then back in again. same thing, no song change. Confirmed again that changes to the ini file were saved. Confirmed ( I've done this dozens of times to make sure I wasn't loosing my mind)

This is something I've done frequently and never had an issue as my toons were leveling up, I would update the ini file with the newest spells, abilities etc.

So now I figured that the game must be reading a different ini which would explain why the changes aren't taking effect.
This is where I believe I need some help. At the beginning of this year I migrated my folders to MQ2Next and in all honesty, the game/MQ2 has been running great and I've been having a lot of fun so I didn't think anything is wrong or not set up properly.
I currently have:
SK = CWTN
CLR = CWTN
BST = CWTN
BER = CWTN
BER = CWTN
and
BRD = Kissassist

I tried to copy and paste the ini file from pre-migration to where MQ2Next currently is and still not getting the bard in game to read the correct ini.

Do i need to delete all the old MQ files?

[Sic]

are you sure you are editing in the correct place?

ini files are in your config folder.


There are a couple of small, yet important changes with MacroQuet vs the old MQ2 as explained > HERE <

Moving to MacroQuest mental notes:
1. mq2map click is Control+Shift+Click
2. new easyfind self travel is Control+Click (reminder in find window title bar)
3. new easyfind group travel is Control+Shift+Click
4. If you selected a destination in your zone guide and want to activate it you /travelto activate
5. /yes and /no are now aliases
6. your ini configuration files (like for kissassist) now reside in your "Config" folder and not your "Macro" folder

 

[Hoggins]

In the config folder, got it...

So the ini file in the config folder inside the MQnext folder has Wave of Sleep but in game my bard was still memming Wave of Somnolence.
I just tried replacing the entire ini with a different one from the KA library and now get message in the MQ window:

MQTwist: Songs not present - suspending twist. /twist to resume

So I type /twist and see :

MQTwist: Starting Twist
MQTwist : Stopping Twist

None of the song gems in game are being populated with the songs listed in the ini file.

This is the ini file inside the config folder. the path is: C:\Users\Hoggins\AppData\Local\VeryVanilla\MQNext\config

umm... ok, thats alot in the twist section.. you got that ini here?

check out Sic's 120 ToL, its a good starter. your load spell set, spell set named are jackes. thats a 0/1/2, 0 is off, a 1, the next line is what it loaded by set name. 2 is use spells outlined above.

there is a KA wiki thats pretty good on explaining the fields, bit of a read but worth it.

 

[Robban]

In the config folder, got it...

So the ini file in the config folder inside the MQnext folder has Wave of Sleep but in game my bard was still memming Wave of Somnolence.
I just tried replacing the entire ini with a different one from the KA library and now get message in the MQ window:

MQTwist: Songs not present - suspending twist. /twist to resume

So I type /twist and see :

MQTwist: Starting Twist
MQTwist : Stopping Twist

0=Off/1=Loads SpellSetName/2=Loads Spells from the [Spells] in the ini file. If you have no [Spells] section defined and are using option 2 for LoadSpellSet, a default [Spells] section is created. See Misc section for more information on how to set up [Spells].

 

[Hoggins]

I'll replace the current KA ini with Sic's and see what happens.

 

[Hoggins]

Looks like everything is working as it should. I can make changes to the KA ini file and my bard in game is switching out songs.

Thanks for the help!
