Question - CWTN Plugin load/unload or start paused?

[Crash]

So I want to unload plugin before I log off. That way when I login the plugin doesnt just start spamming all the abilities and such until Im ready or in a safe place.

something better than
/bct toon //plugin Shd load/unload
/bct toon //plugin Clr load/unload
/bct toon //plugin war load/unload
ect

/plugin mq2eskay unload this unloads mq2eskay.

You can use cfg files to do things like that.

If you have any plugin set to be loaded it will be loaded upon startup, and we intentionally don't allow the plugins to start up paused.

But you can use a .cfg file to do anything you want

you could just have an ingame.cfg that pauses you upon entering the world >>> .CFG Info <<<

then you can have a /docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} pause on in that ingame.cfg

or you can use a zoneshortname.cfg to do something specific upon entering a zone

otherwise i'd suggest not setting your macroquest.ini to have the plugin NOT loaded and then when you load then use the "noauto" functionality - /plugin mq2eskay load noauto

It is a deliberate design choice to not have the character be paused upon loading in game. But a cfg file allows you to immediately pause yourself.

i'm not sure what your question is.

/plugin mq2eskay unload this unloads mq2eskay.

lol I'm not sure how to explain. I have never unloaded plugin after starting it. So when I login the toons starts doing there thing. When I die and return to bind. they start up again and i scramble to get them paused sometimes.
I can setup a hot key with those commands but was looking for something shorter so i can type it on the fly if I wanted too. I will look at the .cfg stuff. Just not my thing.

I use the ingame.cfg method and it works perfectly. Plugins are always loaded but will be paused when your toons load into the game.

yes, so use a .cfg if you want to pause upon doing things like entering the game, or entering a specific zone. that link i shared shows you how to do that.

Hi all,

Was wondering if there was a way to start the plug-ins in a paused state. If I log off with a plug-in paused when I come back to the game the plug-ins start unpaused.

The reason I am asking is that 99% of the time my SK is group leader. MQ2AutoGroup sets him as MT and MA and then invites my 5 other toons. Here is the difficulty. Quite a few times when I log in the SK (he is the first account set in MQ2AutoLogin) MQ2SK (say it, don’t read it) will want to cast a self buff or pet buff. What this has done is interfere with the MQ2AutoGroup command sequence so I will only have invited 1 or 2 other toons. I do have a hot key setup as a back up to invite all 5 toons but it seems like when I use that hot key, the MA tag stays but the MT flag is cleared. Why is that a difficulty? I have a key set up to load Kissassist on non CWTN toons and the hot key references $(Group.MainTank). I guess I could explicitly put the SK’s name in the hot key but I like the idea of variables because then I can copy hot key settings to other toons “as is”.

Thanks for the feedback.

Be well. Happy gaming.

Use a .cfg

Hi Sic, a cfg file for CWTN? Please elaborate. I do use slash commands to make changes “permanent”.

Thanks.

Thank you for pointing me to this thread. I saw load unload so skipped it.

I think I will play around with a cfg vs no auto. I already have in game CWTN Pause and CWTN On hot keys so I think loading but paused would be better for me.

Thanks again.

Be well. happy gaming.

I like loading in paused mainly so my toons don't immediately start casting a bunch of shit around a bunch of players in POK, the Lobby or near a mission NPC before I was even past the loading screen. Setting up your ingame.cfg file is by far the best way to handle that.

Should also have a zoneshortname.cfg for guildlobby. Especially after you wipe, as soon as you pop, you will pause preventing all of the unnecessary buffing and misc garbage that happens when you don't want it to.

Yes very useful for that as well.

 

[Drygon]

If you don't want to write cfg's or autopause Plugins, simple unload/load Mq2 autogroup and he will sent invites to the other toons again... That's what iam doing when running in the same issue.

 

[Gekko]

So you would place a guildlobby.cfg or a poknowledge.cfg in the same folder as the ingame.cfg?

I like the idea of pause being on after a wipe. My toons are bound in POK not guild lobby because when I want to go home, I gate my castrers so they can set a campfire and then the melee can clicky home. Can you set a campfire in the guild lobby?

Be well. Happy gaming.

Yes click the link I provided about cfgs as to what/where

Unnecessary to you maybe. But they do what they do for a reason. Some people may get a call to their body and or campfire back, or run back. There are things we don't do while in a safe zone, or while rez sickness, but other stuff we do intentionally.

If you don't like it that is obviously perfectly fine, but try and take care asserting your personal need/wants/thoughts as objective fact

Question,

Is there a way to either have the pause on or pause off follow as how you logged off? I guess what I'm asking is that is there a way that the Plugin's can just be paused upon login and then the dashboard as how it was suggested control them? thanks

KS, if you log off and log on in the same zone all the time, you can do what I did. I followed the advice above and created a cfg file. For me it is POK, so I created poknowledge.cfg. In the cfg I placed the following:

/docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} pause on

It works like a charm.

Be well. Happy gaming.

[Myysterio]

is there anyway to default classplugins to be pause on?

 

[Sic]

no.

you can use a class .cfg to pause them upon coming in game.

please take care to look before posting as it is already answered and discussed here > CWTN Plugin load/unload or start paused? <

 

[burdsjm]

I have them paused in the zoned.cfg and in game.Cfg. Works well for me.

 

[vanemon]

hello!
maybe someone can point me in the right direction plz!

i made a guildlobby.cfg file, but toons keep buffing (placed it into the config directory)


/docommand ${Me.Shd.ShortName} pause on
/docommand ${Me.Enc.ShortName} pause on
/docommand ${Me.Cle.ShortName} pause on

what do i need to change that the toons will execute the pause?

thx alot in advance!

Howdy vanemon,,

You are missing a / and your ${Me.Class.ShortName} is incorrect.

I have the exact literal code you need in the answer in this thread

What you actually want is /docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} pause on exactly as I have it there.

At runtime, ${Me.Class.Shortname} gets replaced with whatever the short name for the class is. So on your Shadowknight it because `SHD`, etc.

So you only need that one line and it will work for all CWTN plugins. You do not need to make separate lines for each class.

You could also look at using mq2boxr. It lets you use a single /boxr pause command that works for many types of automations. This is what I use in my guildlobby.cfg.

 

[vanemon]

works now, thx a lot!

Hi there,
I am using the plugin for a couple of toons.
Would it be possible to persist the pause flag?
Or alternatively to create quiet flag for not doing anything outside combat.
The reason is : if I park my toons in a populated area and quit.
When logging the toons back, They will start buffing, summoning item, and healing.
Which doesn’t looks super natural.
Currently I am unloading the plugin to avoid this.
But it seems macroquest.ini is saved by each character on logout and it doesn’t work consistently.
Cheers

CFG Files - MacroQuest Docs

docs.macroquest.org

maybe ingame.cfg
put a ctwn pause there?

 

[Psy]

I made a cfg for the zones where I want to execute commands automatically. For example, I have a guildlobby.cfg that contains;

/docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} pause on
/docommand /mqp on

No matter what, they pause when in that zone

 

[Dragonslayer]

That's what I did as well.
I addition I put the same into "ingame.cfg" which will cause to start paused, wherever I log in.
