Some progress on Zones.ini from @eqplayer16

INI: 
[The Burning Lands]
Plane of Smoke=trialsofsmoke
Stratos: Zephyr's Flight=stratos
Aalishai: Palace of Embers=aalishai
Empyr: Realms of Ash=empyr
Esianti: Palace of the Winds=esianti
Mearatas: The Stone Demesne=mearatas
The Chamber of Tears=chamberoftears


Also nothing on Doomfire TBL version yet, though looking through the new .zon files I don't see anything. Likely the same old pofire map?

Getting some strange behavior on SK Tank. Sometimes he stops pulling and claims to need to med when his mana is already at 95%... Didnt do this prior to patch so not sure whats going on.

UPDATE: I found out why this was happening... PullPause INI setting was set to 30/2. I dont recall ever using that feature so it must have got added in an update that I was not aware of. So every 30 mins, he would say he needed to med cuz of mana but really it was just because I told him to med every 30 mins and pause pulling for 2 mins.

I noticed on some of my toons that EQ is allowing impossible combinations in the Advanced Loot window again. My main was correctly showing how I set some collectibles to NO, NV, but on my Rogue and Cleric (who I set the same way) were now showing GD, NV. If you set something to NV it will automatically also flip the NO setting on, but somehow their loot entries got changed to GD, NV. I had to manually adjust their settings to have it make sense again.

When this happened previously with EQ, it would roll using the impossible setting, and then CTD. I wonder if this is part of what's going on with Autoloot. It seems like DB may have reintroduced a problem that had previously been fixed.

Has anyone else noticed this happening? Please chime in if you have.

Yes Doomfire is the old pofire map, or at least I haven't seen any difference during raids.
 
Was MQ2Autoloot fixed but you just have to do a / command? If so, what exactly do I have to do to get it working?

edit:
Ok, not sure if it is now just fixed and doing this wasn't needed, but in game I just
Code: 
  /autoloot lootini loot
to direct autoloot to my loot.ini which is named "loot". // it to do it to all your toons at once. Works fine now or at least the 10 times I looted something via autoloot hasn't crashed my toon.

Tried this, didnt work for me.. even tried deleting my old mq2autoloot.ini and my loot.ini files (in their respective directories) and let the plugin re-create them with all defaults.. still not working..

it wont crash me unless i try to manually intervene, but it wont loot properly though if left alone..
 
Not sure what you need to do Lordeth, this stuff is total guess work for me. Autoloot is working well for me, been running a team for hours, lots everything fine, no crash. I did do it for all my toons, not just my main that usually loots

Code: 
 /bcaa //autolot lootini loot
 
MQ2AutoLoot doesn't work for me either, just crashes every time it tries to loot, but I'm on test, so what do I know.

Yeah its really odd.. I have tried so much stuff, i'm sort of at a loss.. I've got it running on all my guys, with a clean loot.ini no entries, default set to =loot, and my Master looter is passing items to other toons, and they are leaving them to rot.. soo strange.. and only some of the items that are processed through autoloot are getting added to the loot.ini.. and i'm talking common tradable TS items and collectibles.. not nodrops or lore items..

What macros are you running while using it? I'm using the latest version of kiss11 on all my guys.. i am getting some strange ninjadvloot messages as well in my mq2 window, even though i have loot=0 in my kiss ini's..

My next step is to maybe try the newest version of kiss10 that I was using previously, and see how loot works.. i dont know, but i suspect ninjadvloot is conflicting with autoloot somehow..

Actually, i am also on test.. so maybe theres something different between the current test and live VV compiles...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well, I'm thinking there trying to work on the bugs on VV, seeing as more people use it, then they will fix test once live is working properly.
 
I'm live server, just run KISS, but still using 10....whatever. Not sure the KISS version matters since I most times run my main looter manually.

I haven't patched for Test yet, sorry folks! Doing that now

Thank you kind sir!

EDIT: Loaded up the new VV compile from 15 min ago (DEC-15) and autoloot is working like a charm again.. no issues so far at all.. @plure Including my issue of looting 5+ items at once off a single mob (RoS named dropping 5+ used to crash autoloot, works now)

Cheers,
Lordeth
