• 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, /shout or 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, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would 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

Howdy there!

I'm a longtime EQ player, first-time MQ2 user. Recently, I started on an emu.server which suggested MQ2; I've never used this before, but I've spent the last few days researching and getting my multi-box group set up, etc., so now I'm ready for the macro part to build combat macros. I'm looking for any suggestions like the kissassist or something like it that is relatively easy to setup/use. Also, I'm looking for any suggestions on interfaces, or any other customization options.

Thanks!!

Welcome to the community. I, too, have very recently renewed my EQ addiction. And after exhaustive reading I decided to use Muleassist and Maui(in game GUI for Muleassist). It does require a fair bit of setup, but you will find they all do. Get used to editing ini files lol. Might want to get Notepad ++(it's free). Oh and read until your eyes bleed and be sure to ask questions here or on Discord. Good luck man.

VS Code is a great (also free) alternative to notepad++ with some built-in awesomeness

Looking for a Notepad++ Alternative?
You want Visual Studio Code:

some recommended extensions include:
Rainbow brackets

I had taken a long break, came back and EQ alone had a lot of changes, the walk throughs are nice, not everything is answered, but it's enough to be dangerous LOL... that said, I definitely found that learning and refining the INI taught me the most; experiment here, ask a question here, apply it there, seemed to teach me the most about it... I really enjoyed the older INI websites that walked me through (though I believe some are out of date or whatnot... they still were a really great place to learn a basic knowledge)

KissAssist - Read📖Guides

Still one of my favorites for learning and quick reference, if there's better, I am unaware... another one I liked for / macro commands was

Utility - MQ2MoveUtils

MQ2MoveUtils was created in early 2004 by tonio, giving players a significant improvement over EverQuest's built-in /follow command, as well as a handy way for bards to run "circle" macros. As of 2022, the main features of MQ2MoveUtils are as...

Just a couple nuggets that help me sort it out... and then again, asking questions of the community here @ RG has been HUGE!

Good Luck and Welcome Back!

Just my two [red] cents!
