Problem - Help with farm.mac

[ycleptjah]

Hi all,

I'm an absolute noob at MQ2 and programming/coding stuff in general. I'm trying to get the farm.mac macro to work (the one that kills everything in a zone in a radius automatically). It isn't doing anything/sometimes maybe tries to do things but bugs out. Would anybody be able to give me a hand in getting it to run? Feel free to respond here or message me, much appreciated, thank you.

farm.mac is a great little macro that chatwiththisname wrote some time ago, but it has some challenges with it.

I would recommend trying out Pocketfarm - Kaen has been constantly updating this macro and it is very good for out of the box farming

Having said that...

ensure everyone in your group is in zone/alive, otherwise the macro just chills
you can do a /farm help to see what your settings are at --- so you can ensure you have a good radius size and your healat and medat settings are all good

Commands for Farm.mac here is the command page for farm.mac

Thanks for the reply, I gave pocketfarm a shot, and same thing, nothing happens. It's just me in the group so not trouble there, settings seem ok...I activate it and nothing happens. I can see the big blue X on the minimap with pocketfarm. Any idea what could be going wrong? Thanks a lot.

You need to have map meshes downloaded and installed to your nav folder. You can build your own if you dont want to download them. Just start the Meshgenerator.exe in the macroquest folder, select the zone and hit build. When its done you save it.

Having another problem...I'm trying to run Pocketfarm in zones like Shard's Landing and City of Bronze, and it's just crashing instantly when I type in anything related to the macro. Is this possibly due to the # of NPCs in the zones? What can I do to try and limit it and get it to run? Thanks for your continued help.

 

[Aipoc76]

you can edit the ini file and set the radius smaller. Find the zone name your running it in and change Radius=250 to something else. The default is 250.

 

[ycleptjah]

Hmm so I gave that a shot; still instantly crashes when I so much as type /mac pocketfarm

 

[Aipoc76]

and this only happens in specific zones?

just tried it in shards landing.. I have version 1.5 from april still. it worked just fine. will dl new version and test.

 

[Aipoc76]

Verified 2.1 insta crashed.

 

[ycleptjah]

Yep just certain zones...should I just use version 1.5 then? Not sure if there's a workaround, I'm not good at this sort of thing.

 

[Aipoc76]

i would for now till kaen figures it out. its the april version.
