KissAssist Release KissAssist (3 Viewers) 12.002.039

No permission to download
Is there a way to force kissassist in AutofireOn=1 to start archery before it goes into the dps casting routine? As a ranger, lots of dps is being left on the table because kissassist doesn't start shooting arrows until it's done a bunch of casting... which could be done at the same time.

DPS1=command:/autofire|100|Once
DPS2=Entropy of Nature|99|Once
what i got
 
Use the ambush tag.

DPS1=command:/autofire|100|ambush|cond1

Cond1=!${Me.AutoFire}

You may need to add a few more checks in the condition, but this should get you started.

Looks like I need to get into conditions lol. I've managed without them, so far.
 
I see the 11.008 beta version up top but is that one available for download? All i see at top of page is the 11.005.

My ranger ini doesn't use a condition on autofire. (I have a ton of conditions for stacking/not stacking buffs). And yes, slacker not got his 2.0 yet.

Code:
[DPS]
DPSOn=2
DPSSize=23
DPSSkip=10
DPSInterval=10
DPS1=command:/autofire|99
DPS2=Heartwood Blade|98|Cond1
... etc
 
Anyone else having issues with the stsrting command? For me, /max kissassist MyTankName without having him target doesnt work? States i've null target and stops.

you need to do /mac kissassist assist mytankname

I make my social hotkey do a /mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainTank} for easiness
 
I have a question regarding pulling. Is there a reason why when the puller stops to pull a mob they can stop on a dime at just the right spot and then when they bring the mob back to camp they can't stop worth crap and spring around like they're on a bungie? Why does this happen on one spot and not the other? Can it be fixed so they stop on a dime back at camp like they do before they have a mob? What mechanics allow them to stop so precisely before the pull than what exists back at camp after the pull? ...and can this be fixed? It isn't a huge issue but it looks super unnatural the way it bounces around like that. I've tried to fix it through different nav settings but it still does it. Maybe I'm asking the wrong thread, is this a MQ2Nav issue?

@Samagram, I am going to assume you are using MQ2Nav for pulling. There is only a slight difference between when running out to get the mob, and returning back to camp. Both operations use MQ2Nav and both operations are checking for an arrived distance and issue the /nav stop command. The difference is in Returning to camp. After Nav has finished getting you to your final location the is an additional /moveto command that is used to try and nudge you closer to your camp location. What causes your toon to ping pong around is /moveto can't get you close enough to your camp location(dist) so it keeps trying. The next time it happens try 2 things.
/moveto dist 20 if that does not stop them then try
/moveto off

By default dist is set to 10 and with levitation on that can cause issues if the ground is not flat. Let me know what you find.
 
Hey guys,

I am getting an error that reads:

Syntax Error: /declare InilDList string local ${Ini["KissAssist_Buff.ini"]}
Line: 4431 in KissAssist.mac
NewLength 2045 was greater than BufferSize - addrlen 2025 in
ParseMacroData, did you try to read data that exceeds 2048 from your macro?

The only thing I can think of is there was a plugin that was supposed to help all toons read the buff.ini no matter what macro they are using. (Don't remember the name of the plugin but was two updates ago) Since I use MQ2Rogue and a couple of IHC385 macros I thought it would be good for me to load. Could that be causing the problem? So far, if it is affecting performance I have not noticed it but it spams my Dannet window like crazy. Any insight on how I can fix would be appreciated. Thanks, AnotherJohn
 
mq2kissbuffs is the plugin that watches the buffs.

Could try and delete KissAssist_Buff.ini. Kiss and mq2kissbuffs will recreate it.
 
Hmmm,

Ok, the same error is back again:

Syntax Error: /declare InilDList string local ${Ini["KissAssist_Buff.ini"]}
Line: 4431 in KissAssist.mac
NewLength 2045 was greater than BufferSize - addrlen 2025 in
ParseMacroData, did you try to read data that exceeds 2048 from your macro?

Do I need to just delete my KissAssist_Buff.ini file periodically? Or is there something more going on here?

Also, now that I know this is related to MQ2KissBuffs should I post there or since this is where I started (not knowing what the problem was related to) should I continue to post here? Just an etiquette question so I am doing the right thing post wise. Thanks, AnotherJohn
 
Make sure KissAssist_Buffs.ini is read/writable
What version of Kiss are you using
 
Make sure KissAssist_Buffs.ini is read/writable

When I looked at the KissAssist_Buff.ini properties, under the Security tab it does show that Read and Write are both checked as Allow. In fact everything except "Special permissions" is set as Allow.

What version of Kiss are you using

I am using KissAssist Version 11.005

On Saturday I deleted the KissAssist_Buff.ini folder and KissAssist or MQ2KissBuffs created this current one. Let me know if there is anything else you need from my end and thanks for troubleshooting this.

AnotherJohn

Edit: I updated to the latest version out (11/7) and deleted my KissAssist_Buff.ini and like last time the error spam stopped. I am guessing it will be back at some point but deleting the file occasionally will be my work around until I hear of a better fix.

It's that time again. I am looking for a few brave volunteers. We are starting up a team of testers for the next release of KissAssist. One of the things we will be focused on this time is Bard casting and functionality. I need a few more players that play bards.

I also need some volunteers for just general testing. You need to know how to create debug logs and feel comfortable looking through log files. Other than that you don't need any special abilities.

All suggestions are welcome and encouraged. I will be releasing the first version for testing after finalizing the rest of the members for the test team.

Please feel free to PM me if you want to take part in this round of KissAssist testing. Currently, we are looking for all classes.
 
I am just throwing this out there. I did some testing this past weekend, and on Saturday while testing, I would have 1 of my EQ clients freeze up. I would have to use Task Manager to stop the task, this continued throughout the day. Later in the evening, I needed to load another group, so while playing 2 groups on the same computer, EQ clients started freezing, before I could get my second group loaded I had 4 clients freeze up. None of the clients crashed, they just were non-responsive. Using Tank Manager you could see what eqgame.exe was not responding.

So I called it quits for the evening. Now Sunday morning before I started playing. I turned off DanNet on every character. I left the DanNet Plugin loaded but just didn't use DanNet for anything. Loaded both my groups with ZERO issues, let them play for about 12 hours and no freeze-ups.

If you have clients freezing up, try turning off DanNet and see if it helps with the issue. I know it made a difference for me.
 
@ctaylor22 so what you're saying is, me being a crotchety old buttface and refusing to pull myself away from EQBC paid off? ;-)

Yes, That and that Dannet is not something I have much confidence in, for my setup. I know that a lot of devs have thrown all their eggs into the DanNet basket, but I just have too many issues with the plugin, to recommend it to anyone.

Honestly, if it worked well, I'd use it to pass buff/debuff info between my toons. I don't think netbots works for that anymore, right?

I've had a similar crash the other day but it took EQ with it. My guess is Dannet as well though I'll start tossing dumps off to someone. Wish I had a guide on digging through the dumps to at least help the triage process a bit.
 
Does KissAssist require the whole party be running on the same PC? Or will it still function properly if split between two PCs that are connected with EQBC?

Only asking because iirc the initial post or the instructional post said to load up all the characters on the same PC
