Lets see....
Okay, straight forward to explain.
- Everquest is a game, from Sony now being handled by Daybreak.
- MQ2 is a 3rd party, open source, unapproved (not endorsed by Daybreak) program that adds "quality of life" features to EQ and a further platform for plugins and macros.
- Very Vanilla is a specific compile of MQ2, built and published by RedGuides.
- KissAssist, is a combat routine macro for Very Vanilla MQ2, that can control the actions of a character (e.g. buff, fight, heal, mez etc. ).
There are a many macros written and available to use. However you can only have one macro running at a time. To use a different macro, need to stop the first, and start the next.
Likewise there are many plugins availale to use as well. These are ran concurrently, and kind of sit dormant waiting to do something specific.
MQ2Melee,
MQ2Nav,
MQ2AutoLoot,
MQ2EasyFind, are a few examples. There are also combat routines in plugins, released by ChatWithThisName, e.g.
MQ2Cleric. That would be used as an alternative to
KissAssist.
Other than their run time use, there is more difference between Macro and Plugins.
- Macro are clear text script files, you can open, read, amend, with notepads. The scripting language takes a bit of getting used to but not that bad.
- Plugins on the other hand, are compiled code and not available to read to see what or how they do things, just to have installed and used.
Both macro and plugins are written and published to the RedGuides site, and available to download. A lot of content will only work with the VV build of MQ2.
Last thing to mention. VV build of MQ2, ensures there are not cheats or hacks, in which other builds perhaps could have these. VV is about giving a degree of automation. Helping make a boxed character interact like a merc, but with greater utility. A skill of somewhere between a merc and an attentive player driving that character.
