I've been running MQ2 just fine without crashes. Last night I fired up
dannet for the first time trying to assist with a complicated nested ${If statement that utilized
Dannet. We were having some undesired results from the plugin and were trying to get it sorted.
Initial thoughts. It's certainly useful for collecting information from other characters that are otherwise inaccessible.
exspes is not wrong that there is a learning curve of sorts.
Dannet has some useful functionalities and the command line setup needs to be quite a bit more complex in order to achieve the results as a by product.
Dannet does not require that you load a server since it's a peer to peer connection.
Now with that said,
Dannet cannot connect outside of the network. It's local only, so you cannot connect to
dannet from the office or whereever it is you go when you are trying to play EQ that is not located where the characters are running. (This is what Knightly means when he said EQBC excels at crossing the IP boundaries that
Dannet can't do)
I had
dannet loaded for about 45 mins or so and it crashed the toon I had it loaded on when I zoned. It generated two crash reports and those reports are exactly like the ones people have been sending me to get me to try and fix their crash. They are in KERNELBASE and ntdll. Neither of them give me useful information. But I have NEVER got a crash in either of those prior to using
dannet and it happened after loading it and the first time I ever zoned with it loaded. So I unloaded it and don't feel like I've missed anything because I never really used it long enough to become attached to it. It's a great idea, but unless I can use it without crashing then I'm going to avoid it if possible.
Hopefully the crash gets worked out of it. If so I'll likely give it another spin. Until then I'm back to ole faithful, EQBC which does pretty much anything I want it to do.
