Is there a crash dump being captured? Can't think of anything I made changes too that would cause characters to crash.

Hmm don't think so - tbh i haven't checked. where would a lad such as myself find that? It's not showing up at the end of the ini, where errors usually do, at least

 

[ctaylor22]

Logs are created in the in your MQNext Logs Folder.

 

[ShOeCrEw]

Oh, in that case it says a bunch of stuff, should i DM it to you?

 

[ctaylor22]

I am not sure where the crash dump should be sent, but lets ask @Knightly he should know. Where should crash dumps for MQ be sent?

 

[Sic]

Crash dumps are automatically submitted unless you purposefully turned them off. So there isn't anything to send, unless a dev specifically asked for one for a specific replicatable issue

They said it was just poofing with no crash dialog box, which wouldn't produce a crash dmp file.

Poofing with no dialog almost always is something like buffet overflow or divide by zero

 

[ctaylor22]

OK that is helpful to know. But how would you check/test for buffer overflow. The divide by zero I can see checking before doing the math, but you would think a divide by zero error would get trapped and not crash MQ.

 

[Knightly]

mmmmm....buffet overflow.... <homer mouth.gif>

Best way to find something that doesn't have a crash dump is to figure out how to recreate it. Narrow down where it's happening and we can troubleshoot from there.

Sometimes they do crash with dump, othertimes they disappear - you would have to have a debugger attached to your eqgame process to catch the non-dmp crash. they're pretty infrequent outside of things doing stuff they shouldn't be doing (by stuff i mean plugin with a design oversight - like the aforementioned mq2react having something longer than 2048 characters.

I doubt kiss is doing anything that can cause that.

back to the where to find crash dumps - they would be in your "\Logs\Dumps\reports"
you can get there right clicking on the mq icon -> open folder -> crash dumps -> reports
but as mentioned they're automatically submitted

darn buffets and darn autocorrect/fatphonefingers (And this post didn't even post tho i made it like 3 hours ago )

Thanks for the responses, buds. Helpful information!
For future reference, what's a "divide by zero" mean, exactly?

Hope this is the right place to ask..i've downloaded kissassist...tried running the blank kissassist command to generate ini's.

got an error DoCommand - Couldn't parse '/moveto set alwaysUW off

What causes this

also what plugins are required?

Heya Jeff,

Kinda hard to figure out how to help here without more details. First time you're running KA?

/plugin mq2moveutils
try again
ACKCHUALLY it should load the required plugins by itself.
you can also check for all required plugins in the docs

 

[an_image]

I run CWTN plugins except for bard which I use KA. The bard constantly takes a dirt nap becuase he will sit away from the group after combat. If I don't pull him to the group via "Come To Me" he will get killed when I pull due to him sitting between the group and line of pulling. What can I adjust to make him sit with the group?

Chase the tank or returntocamp=1

I'll try this as move utils arent in my macroquest.ini, a bunch of others are.

says it was already loaded. KissAssist appears to be working though

 

[ctaylor22]

ctaylor22 updated KissAssist with a new update entry:

Minor Fixes for Bards

Made a few adjustments to the DoBardStuff routine. When Bard using MeleeTwistWhat, after fights the bard would nuke them self after buffing, and continuing their /Twisting.

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[winnower]

@ctaylor22 is https://gitlab.com/redguides/scripts/kissassist/-/blob/main/kissassist.mac the current git repo for kiss? if so, could you please push your change, thanks!

 

[Rare Spawn]

Twistmed=0
Twiston=0

When my bard needs to med, he keeps getting stood up. I have to manually do a '/stop song' to fix it. Is there something I need to tweak in my ini to fix this?

 

[ctaylor22]

What is the bard casting. Bards can play a song and sit down, as long as they are only twisting 1 song.

Amplification makes you stand up. Its the first song in my out of combat twist... but my config is explicitly set to Twistmed=0.

Per the docs on the Wiki:

TwistMed=0 - Bard will NOT sing or twist but just sit.

 

[Rare Spawn]

Also will GoM entries use conditions?

Thanks

Yes.

 

[rteflon]

I tried to download it and its a .mac file. Where can I get the download to use it on windows?

 

[aquietone]

.mac files are macros run by MQ. they go in the macros folder and run in game with /mac <name>

Are there updated kiassassist_info.ini files for NoS? If not whats a good source for looking which mobs are mez immune?

 

[B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y]

KA has been very solid for me the last few weeks... except for random client crashes... that seem to be solved by disabling the Cure section!

So these crashes were rare, sometimes as little as once per day. And then I caught my shaman crashing while attempting to cure the group. I turned off all cures on all characters and haven't experienced a crash since! By crashing I mean the game session disappears out of Windows but EQ is still in memory and some interaction is still possible like other characters casting invis would affect the "crashed" character. In other words, the character was still in-world but it's UI was missing.

So far I haven't encountered anything in NOS that truly requires a cure if you have plenty of healing.

Let me reiterate, the crashes were extremely rare and almost always on my priest classes, although it did happen to my SK and Mage when they had Cures enabled. I'm not expecting anyone to fix this, mostly just posting so @ctaylor22 is aware of it should he ever decide to work on the Cure code in the macro!

It's actually pretty easy to move truly important cures to a React or an Event! There aren't very many that can't just be healed through.

 

[tjuren]

Same for me with Druid using cures, sometimes crashing Dannet aswell, Bard with song or horn works fine.

 

[ctaylor22]

Yea, the cure section is very DanNet dependent, when using Dannet. I have made some changes to the cure section to try and help with the crashing. I have went through the code and changed everything I can to make it work according to Dan himself. I think it is the size of one of the strings I request to check if a character needs a cure. The issue, is it works most of the time, but will gradually fail, but figuring out what is causing it to fail is the issue. The code that works 99% of the time, is the same code that is failing. Not sure how to trace down where the failure is occurring.

How To - KA12 - [Buff=Shrink Self] After [$(Me.Height)] check

"If you just want to make sure you are shrunk, regardless of illusion or not. you should be able to just check your Height(${Me.Height}) and just cast shrink till your under a certain height." -ctaylor22 May 21, 2016

I found this quote from @ctaylor22 while looking for anyway to cast shrink on myself via a clicky using KA12.

Q: How would I write a buff line to check the height and then cast my shrink clicky on myself if needed?

Using: Earring of Diminutiveness - Must target self to shrink self. Can also target other members of group and shrink them too.

Assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

~TheFiddler~

 

[B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y]

My DE SK uses:

Buffs15=Earring of Diminutiveness|Me|cond7

and:

Cond7=${Me.Height} > 2.03

 

[TheFiddler]

Thanks Much B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y

 

[ddmbr]

I'm new to KA and trying to initialize but it returns "couldnt open include file ...ninjadvloot.inc" then exits. I dont see anything in the docs about it and tried searching with no luck. Any idea how to fix? Do I have to load a module or run something first to generate that file?

*EDIT* I'm all set , found Big_Daddys post. Thanks BD.

[Grpsmashin]

This is a long shot, but looking for a good Druid Raid INI for kiss to compare. I wasnt sure where else to ask this other than a general post but didnt want it to get merged anyways.

Any and all help is welcome!! PM me please, Thanks

Feature Request:
Extend the single target mez parameter "MezSpell" to work identic like the AEMez. This would allow to decide to start mezzing only if i.e. more than 3 mobs are on aggro


as is now

MezOn	0	0/1/2/3	0=Off/1=Single & AE Mez/2=Single Mez only/3=AE Mez only.
MezRadius	50	Any #	Radius to detect mobs surrounding enchanter/bard
MezMinLevel	N/A		Minimum level of mobs to mez within MezRadius
MezMaxLevel	N/A		Maximum level of mobs to mez within MezRadius
MezStopHPs	80	1-100	Mob HPs to stop mezzing at.
MezSpell	N/A	Spell/Song	Your single target mez spell or song
MezAESpell	N/A	AE Spell/Song|#	AE Mez spell/song|Number of mobs to start mezzing. 3 is generally a good minimum value. Example: MezAESpell=Wake of Subdual|3
MezDebuffOnResist	0	0/1	This will allow you to cast a debuff on the mob in the Mez routine if they resist mez.
MezDebuffSpell		Name of Spell	Example: MezDebuffSpell=Bite of Tashani

as I would like it to function

MezOn	0	0/1/2/3	0=Off/1=Single & AE Mez/2=Single Mez only/3=AE Mez only.
MezRadius	50	Any #	Radius to detect mobs surrounding enchanter/bard
MezMinLevel	N/A		Minimum level of mobs to mez within MezRadius
MezMaxLevel	N/A		Maximum level of mobs to mez within MezRadius
MezStopHPs	80	1-100	Mob HPs to stop mezzing at.
MezSpell	N/A	Spell/Song|#	Your single target mez spell or song :: spell/song|Number of mobs to start mezzing .. ie. Zlumber of bard|3 -> if less than 3 mobs on aggro, no mezzes are cast
MezAESpell	N/A	AE Spell/Song|#	AE Mez spell/song|Number of mobs to start mezzing. 3 is generally a good minimum value. Example: MezAESpell=Wake of Subdual|3
MezDebuffOnResist	0	0/1	This will allow you to cast a debuff on the mob in the Mez routine if they resist mez.
MezDebuffSpell		Name of Spell	Example: MezDebuffSpell=Bite of Tashani

Addendum: in order to not break running inis, this new additional number might be optional, so no number means works as it has always been working

 

[ctaylor22]

I added the request to my list for review.

 

[B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y]

When running the Mean Streets mission and the Jakarashev's do their position swap, my SK running in KA tank mode will immediately try and run off to re-engage the existing Jakarashev in its new position. This is a bad thing as characters then get hung up in geometry and/or they run too near other camps and aggro other mobs.

Of course, when a new mob happens to pop nearby, I can quickly try to target it and aggro it and then use my /switchnow button.

However, if there isn't a nearby mob to target, then the whole group begins to race toward whatever new location the warping mob has taken up residence. I'm thinking this is the Stick function in mq2moveutils trying to get back to its calculated position.

Ideally it would be nice to be able to "forget" about a mob that was previously engaged but has left the area or perhaps been memory blurred by bard or enchanter.

Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated. I normally run my SK in tank mode but then move it around manually and target and engage mobs as I need. All my other chars are in Assist mode and normally in /chase mode. (Not afollow though!)
