Lots of changes with today's patch. MQ2 Devs are working on it. Hope to see the new source code tonight but it maybe tomorrow. Will keep you posted.

Question, I have not used the regular eq patcher since i joined Redguides, last night not thinking i used the regular patcher to login for a few while waiting for the new Kissassist. Will that affect anything when i go to use a new compile in the future, or should we be using the regular eq patcher to update the game when MQ is down?

Yup, you still need to use the patcher to download game updates. Once the new compile is out you can just extract and run MQ as you normally would.

MQ2 reads and works off certain memory offsets in the eqgame.exe. When there is a patch the eqgame.exe usually changes so MQ2 also has to be updated. Our compile is based off the source code form MAcroquest2.com. The developers there update it every patch. When Sony makes major game changes like last patch, social media, can remove augs from inv, etc it may take a day or 2 for them to hnt down all teh changes so MQ2 works correctly. 8/15 was a big patch and hopefully the will have everything updated later today.

The answer to question is you need to patch EQ when ever there is an update then down load the new compile for that patch.

new here and im stupid. is it still down or is their a fix? new into this and still trying to get it all working well>

when there's a new compile, it'll be posted in this forum. you'll see it.

 

[kielznubz]

ok atleat i know im in the right place

 

[Puck]

it'll be stickied at the top, and it'll have the days date, like 20120816. you'll see it. we've just gotta wait for the folks at mq2 to release the code, the maskoi puts in a few extra things, and we get it.

Our new home page has a direct link in the upper right hand corner to the current compile when its up and a separate graphic when its down.

thanks Maskoi, i just wasnt sure if i was supposed to just get the update from the new Kissassist when its posted or update the patch effects direct from the eq patcher

I am in the midst of writing a complete newbie quide for our newer members. It will cover all of this. I hope to have it done by the end of the month.

Compile is up I'm sure Maskoi is working on it. Give him an hour

 

[Teichou]

I am sure he is working on it and im stuck at work and can't do a compile on my cell....yet lol

 

[TheAFKBard]

Is Maskoi's 3000th post going to be the current compile?

 

[Maskoi]

Gawd Damn 3k posts way too much time on my hands lmao

 

[Teichou]

You have no life sir

I'm hoping that today's fix to MQ2 will be faster then other days! I feel bad for the MQ2 Devs

Patches with UI changes are always a pain in the ass for the MQ2 devs.
