too easy

[armysoldier]

anyone try this?

 

[Moonspell]

I'll try it when I get an opportunity, Army. It looks to be very useful.

 

[armysoldier]

for those looking to make a little plat... these farming macros work good..

hopefully there is a demand on your server..

Sell them cheap .. and sell them fast 8-)

I gave it a ran tonight. It skipped red at first, grabbed blue one, skipped red again and looted blue one. Then crashed.

 

[jshriddle]

Just downloaded- will try today. Thanks!

 

[Muffinnutz]

Red, Blue, Red Crash to char select screen
tried again....
Red, Blue, Red Crash to char select screen
third try...
Red, Blue, Red Crash to char select screen

Any ideas? wish this would work, save a lot of clicking.

 

[jshriddle]

First time I ran it, it said I didn't have MQ2Gank.dll loaded. I've tried the regular /itemtarget and /gank commands, but nothing so far. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong- every other ArmySoldier macro has worked for me before. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Pugs]

There is a working shroom macro in the last page of the shroom mac thread over at macroquest2.com non vip. IM using it atm works great.

 

[jshriddle]

Just found it- am going to try it out. Thanks!

 

[Persnickety]

Regarding the crashing to server/character select:

I've only done minimal testing, but it seems if you try to gank too many times too quickly, you'll get booted. I added some groundspawn ganking to a farming macro I have, and would get booted after 3-4 loots. I then put in a 10 second pause between the ganks, and its been working for a few hours without problems.

 

[Muffinnutz]

Anyone else put the delay in there and have it working OK? If so can you post the actual code and where to put it for MQ dummies like me please? Thanks!

 

[Ferny50]

yea, increasing the delay to 2s appeared to work okay. didnt get to test too long because, after coming back from the crash, someone was in zone running the non-gank version of the mac....

 

[armysoldier]

changed delays to 3s ...

Do not do this sitting right at the shrooms..

then if someone comes up on you .. they will assume its you and petition you

if your gonna use this .. sit at the bank or something like that

or at the Zone line.. and look like you just zoned in 8-)




excessive GANKing can cause crashes... its happened to me ..

but ... hey .. how bad do you want the shroom 8-)


enjoy

 

[BordonDrumer]

Just tried it tonight, it still crashes, even when I change the delay to 5s. I don't get it, it looks almost exactly like the acorn.mac and that one works fine.

 

[armysoldier]

its ganking ... try it in pok and you will CTD alot too

 

[Gnomesrule]

what are the shrooms for in Kaladim?

 

[armysoldier]

easy way to take brewing to 300 .. 8-)

 

[bartab]

how much shroom do u need approximatly to go grom 248 to 300 you'd say ?

 

[plink]

euri10, 2 inventories full with deluxe toolboxes and I'm only at 287.

plink

 

[laugil]

Not working for me, I pick up the 2 shroom then I quit the game to server screen...

 

[bartab]

OMG

 

[HardOne]

It's UNTESTED, but I reworked Arnysoldier's code a bit, to maybe work better.

I'm going to give it a test run, but please let me know if something is messed up, or dosent work right.

EDIT- Crashes to server select were happening with no delay's, and even a 30sec one, so I added a 1minute delay between ganks, think may work, it may not, who knows.

 

[BadPuss]

This works fine, very well in fact. No crashes or anything. Having said that, it doesn't really work too good if anyone else is in the zone farming the mushrooms as well.

 

[HardOne]

It crashes for me every time.

What delay between Gank's are you using, right now thats set for 1m. Since it works for you, would you mind trying to lower the delay and test it?

 

[BadPuss]

It works for me with 1m, I used your version. Sure I'll test it with less delay later when servers are back up AND we have MQ2 back of course, duh.

 

[CazRaX]

was having crashing to server select problems too till i removed the :clearred and :clearblue parts of it. Since I took those 2 parts out and use MQ2Cursor to auto inventory been able to have it running at 10s delay with no crashes at all, of course i run out of mushrooms quickly too =P

 

[HardOne]

I'll work on modifing it a little later with some fixes.

 

[armysoldier]

added delays and a player check

i have been running this for 24 hours... or so and have 1K of each thingy

8-)

[armysoldier]

[armysoldier]

-The fungus farm in Kaladim has been re-cultivated.

i am at work

anyone of the kaladim farmers able to tell what changed?

ARMY

 

[Warrene]

Re-spawn timer looks to be the same (5m 15sec). Quantity was 9 of each: is that the change?

 

[armysoldier]

yeah i think so .. they just balanced the numbers.. SWEEEET

[Roguish]

I also cant get a gank macro working. First time i ran mine it had almost no delays and picked up most all of them before crashing. Successive times only a few here and there. It crashes me so quickly I can't really do any debugging but with a hotkeyed version of the macro I've found that /itemtarget always wants to target successive numbers. I lost my notes and I'm not at EQ computer for xmas so all I got is memory.

/itemtarget * targeted #6472 for example
/itemtarget * targeted #6473
/itemtarget * came back no targets (even though plenty were up)
/itemtarget * targeted #6474 (after another had spawned)

I don't know if it's the target number or the fact that it can target tradeskill stations that is crashing us but just wanted to post that if it could help at all.

 

[Hydryad]

Sony made it so the groundspawns have random item names, that makes it so the code cannot target them easily. Some will have the right name, but if you look on the map some have random names, i.e herbalist pack, fruit, rallic pack are ones I have seen.

 

[Tapout]

If you just do /itemtarget it will target the closest groundspawn. You don't need to use a name to get the mac working. You just need to position yourself in the right spot each time for your to run around.

 

[Roguish]

The MQ2 website has a macro for this that it pretty darn ingenious in it's moving around coding, I was really impressed, I can't get it to pick any mushrooms after the first bunch though. This ganking macro here works great except i changed all pauses to 30 seconds and if anyone is in the zone it won't pick anything. This macro is the perfect type of thing to do while you're doing skill ups, swimming, cybering, doing homework, whatever.

 

[Thanggorodrim]

When there is players or NO players I am getting [MQ2] Player nearby..[MQ2] Player nearby!!!... [MQ2] pausing the macro...

Any help to solve this would be greatly appreciated

Thang

 

[Marbury]

Remove that section of the macro;

Sub PC 

   :redopc
   /if (${Spawn[pc noalert 2 radius 100].ID}) { 
      /echo player nearby 
      /beep 
      /beep 
      /beep 
      
      /echo Player Nearby!!! 
      /echo pausing the macro... 

      /afk Gone for More Beer - BRB
      /delay 2m
      /goto :redopc
   } 
/return

At least that is what I did, and I have never been caught, call it lucky.

 

[Roguish]

I was ganking shrooms for a few days straight when one day i'm glad i was sitting there at the computer bored outta my gord someone snuck up on me in the zone and asked me wft was happening with the mushrooms, they'd appear and dissapear as soon as they spawned. I had taken out the player check as well and it scared the crap outta me. Anyway I told him I donno a thing about mushrooms in that zone (i wasnt anywhere near it) and I was merely picking Founy's pockets for my friend's rogue 1.0.
