KissAssist Release KissAssist 6 Updated 1/1/2014 v6.8.8

Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

as for the healing, ever given thought to have an INI flag that checks if needs heal for other members, i'm honestly fine with it just healing the MA as that's all i'm concerned with, but thought crossed my mind, if someone is healing OOP and unable to check, maybe have the other setting flags for % of char health needed for heal, setting a flag 0/1 when char is above/below said percent, have OOP check for flag and heal if it's set to 1.. I've thought about setting it up for holyshits if certain char is below percent but the char being OOP is constantly switching target to my assist so they get healed on a coinflip
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

EQ2 client does not update health fast enough unless the toon is some how targeted. The ini file only reads buffs and could not read fast enough to heal.

I added the XTarHeal so the out of party toons could target the tank and turn off MA heal with HealsOn=2 to over come that targeting issue (I am working on fixing that) with hybrids (Rangers, Beastlords, and Pallys.)
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

But if you're in the group you could update for the others INI...

Char1
GroupMember1
GroupMember2

OutOfParty


So Char1 would be able to read GroupMember1 & 2 w/out requiring target. So have that char toggle the INI

Have OutofParty reading the INI.


Just my thought.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Is there a way to make it so when you use a combat routine as a healer that has no actual dps attack and just buffs it keeps the MA targeted rather then pinging back and forth between the target and the MA? Better yet can you make a simple tag so we can add it to buffs that we want recast in combat? Perhaps "<Buff1=SpellName|MA|BB" BB for battle buff?
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that is working as intended. Your healer is targeting the mob to check said mob's health. If your healer doesn't know the health %age of the current group target, then how does your healer know when to automagically cast battle buffs?
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I dont think you understand what I am saying. I want buffs like DI as well as Wards that you can cast multiple times in battle to be cast on clear however kissassist wont do this unless they are in the combat routine. That said when in the combat routine the healer switches targets between the mob and the MA non stop making heals come slower. If you could make it so it would check for buffs in combat it would be perfect.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I know the behavior you are talking about. Its worse when MA is out of group. I think I might be able to build in some mob health checks using hott and xtarget I will look into it.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but:

Is it possible to use clicky items (such as a haste potion) from inside a characters bag? I have the item name under the Buffs section and it works correctly when a potion is placed on a main inventory slot. However when those run out the MQ2 window just keeps showing that it's attempting to click the potion but never can. Maybe I'm missing something but I was just wondering if this was possible. Thanks
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Clicking items in ags on works with Voa and higher expansions. Is this this a free to play account or do you have VoA or higher?
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Clicking items in ags on works with Voa and higher expansions. Is this this a free to play account or do you have VoA or higher?

It's a Gold account (on Test) so I can physically click the items that are in the bags, but the MQ2 window just spams "Clicking Distillate of Alacrity X" constantly when the item isn't on one of my main inventory slots.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I know the behavior you are talking about.
And its even worse when the healer is meleeing, e.g. my paladin or bl were set to heal the mt at a certain health %; they switched targets so much checking the MT that their dps plummeted. and for paladins. thats really saying something.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Pulling issue.....
96 bard pulls with slow.
Gets back to camp.
Bard is faster than mob, so bard gets back to camp faster.....
Bard goes BACK out after mob and engages in melee. Usually so far away from camp that tank (100 SK) won't engage and bard goes splat.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Maskoi, you fixed the SK lifetap thing for me but it still does something a little strange. After the mob is dead, it will target the corpse and attempt to cast lifetap a few times before it decides it's not working and moves back on to pullertanking. It only does this when the mob dies while the SK's health is below the designated INI value to fire the spell. It doesn't affect my performance or ability to survive, just a little strange looking :P.

They are pretty good ways away sometimes. I think I have opened the pull range to 700 or so. Just to keep the action moving. Is there a way to adjust the timer?
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

yes but was this with your bard pulling and the merc tanking?
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I bought a 100 SK from Sym. This is with the bard pulling and SK tanking. Although, now that you mention it, this was also taking place with merc tanking. Might have been part of the problem all along.

Really wish there was an easy way to keep the bard from pulling back the whole zone sometimes, but that's a problem for another post lol.

Maskoi,
Another problem I noted. And this was my own stupidity.
I was setting up and accidentally entered in the Buffs section an item that was not a clickie. When ka got to that non-clickie and tried to clicky it, it crashed eq.exe to desktop. Got the whole "MQ2 has blocked the crash message to Sony blah blah blah"

This was repeatable many times. I finally had to stop all the buffing and remove all the buffs and then restart macro to see which buff it died after, then looked at ini and found the culprit. NULLed it out and everything worked from then on.

Is there a way to make kiss only rez toon corpses' on your posse friend's list?

updated question:

Is it possible to add that Rez option into Kissassist?

Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Maskoi,
problem with KissAssist, or maybe just with potions.mac.

After getting the dream dust and alaris essense, I once again went back to the alchemy room.
/mac potions hotxv 40 errors out. It won't target the second vendor. It moves to him and stops. If I wait until it moves to him and target him myself manually, then it tries to buy the ingredient, then failes. Gives error in mq2 window about variables. Also with hotxvi.

All the other potions, skin spikes, gate work. But the healing pots won't work.
Not sure how to copy text from mq2 window or I could provide you with the exact error messages.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Looting issue (may not be kiss related).

It seems that when I am running 2 groups and my non exp/looting group gets the exp on a kill. Kiss will try and loot the corpse and receive the message "you can't loot..." and then move on to the next corpse. However, every time on the next corpse it loots it just sits there with the loot window open and does nothing else. It seems to only happen after it gets that "you can't loot.." message.

Any idea's where to troubleshoot in Kissassist?

Thanks,
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I have seen this too n my bard when my sk KS's a mob while my dps is medding I will look into it.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I've got a couple of issues to ask about. I'm was running 6.7.5 on my SK set to PullerTank. Last night I went afk for a few hours and found him dead in PoK this morning. KISS didn't camp him out even though I have CampOnDeath=1 setup. Is this setting prime time yet or still in development?

His body was out in the pull field. I'm not sure if he ran out there to pull a mob and macro quit functioning or if he just fought the mob there and died. I suspect that it just locked up since the zone is light blue to him and he can fight without a healer. I've had the "not return" problem happen to him before. I'm pulling trivial mobs in a flat area.

One more thing. I watched him do 3-4 pulls before going afk and noticed that once he'd get within cast range, he'd just stop there and do nothing for like 3 seconds before casting. I've never seen that before 6.7.5

Here are a couple of my sections. Note that I've reverted to 6.6.

Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I'm having issues with my rogue, he's 95 and still won't backstab. I deleveld him a while ago and he hasn't been BSing. Now that I'm back up to 95 he still won't do it even though I set all the melee settings up. then unloaded, reloaded, logged him out, back in etc. I even deleted the entire melee file , then reloaded kiss and it made a new file.

Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

For whatever reason, after my ranger dies and gets rezzed before the rez box expires, he immediately goes after the mob that wiped him. It's really weird...

Edit- I know I am running an older version of KA, it's happened before with older versions including this one.

Is the group still fighting the mob?

I'll have to try that suggestion later, I logged my main on.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

I suggest that u should set 2 GoMSpell option for Caster ,if GoMSpell1 isnt ready ,mac will cast GoMSpell2
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

That's a possibility for a future version.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Still having issues with the rogue, he's 96 now and not BSing, deleted entire kiss ini, and melee ini for him, and reloaded. tried /melee assassinate=0 and /melee backstab=1 still not working. tried turning it back on, tried putting dpson=1 dps1=backstab|95 and still won't touch the backstab button after removing it, then re-selecting backstab from the buttons in the combat ability window and putting the backstab button on hotbar 1. I'm confused because I loaded a friends rogue on and a 100 rogue was backstabbing just like that, no tweaking required. fresh out the box. Anyone else having issues with lower level rogues?

I noticed that if you switch toon on the same account the melee get all buggard up and BS stops working, only way i could fix that was to restart my PC and reload my Rogue First and BS would work again.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

yes this is a known bug with mq2melee same thing with zerkers. We are working on fix but it probably won't be released until after the new expansion comes out and we release the new version of mq2melee.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

well the zerker issue is the huge delay in combat abilities like volley i've literally seen it wait 4-5 seconds to volley and that is huge for a 12s reuse ability.
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Apologies if this is a stupid question.

Is there a way to quickly change the group between setting up a camp and pulling to it, and following someone around and engaging whenever the mob is within tank's radius?

For example, let's say I'm in HoFB with a camp set and pulling to it. Now I want to do HoF1 mission, which requires the whole group to move as a group from mob to mob instead of pulling to a camp. How do I quickly switch between the two short of having two copies of the ini file and swapping them every time I want to change between those modes?

Or maybe there's an alternative here. Let me know!
 
Re: KissAssist 6 Updated 08/12/2013 v6.7.5

Well you have to be on at least one toon the MA is the best. /chase command will make a toon follow the MA. If you have eqbc setup /bca //chase would command the entire group to follow the MA
