Using a KS for a baby cleric. Have buffs turned on, Courage, he's grouped with a warrior. He casts Courage on himself, but not the other group member. Should both characters be connected to BCCMD? Only the first character seems to. Both characters are on the same PC. Sorry for the overload of info, just trying to offer all advice that could make an impact.

The most likely cause of this is that the other characters are not running KissAssist. Other macros do use EQBC to check buffs; KissAssist does not but instead records buffs in an INI file, then checks that INI file to see who needs buffs. Kiss also does not check for spell stacking. If you insist on running a mix of macros to run your box team, you'll need to include KissBuffs.inc and follow directions in the include file on how to insert that into your preferred macro.
 
If the warrior is in the midst of running a kissassist macro as well, the cleric sees him and casts it then? I'm lost. It'd be awesome if there were some youtube tutorials or something instead of just the massive text ones :) I'd love to control group movement and camping with only kissassist as it looks like once you understand the fundamental concepts it seems like it should be pretty straight forward.
 
Reading that wall of text will be your best bet. Examples are provided for practically everything. https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/kissassist-instructions-settings-info.26002/
The link above is the wall of text I refer too.

If you scroll down a lil bit you'll find
General | Melee | DPS | DebuffAll | Buffs | Heals | Cures | Mez | Pet | Merc | Pull | Burn | AFKTools | Gift of Mana | Area of Effect Spells | Aggro | In Game Commands | Miscellaneous | Gmail

Which is links to the individual sections of the help file that you can click on to be brought directly to the section in question. As an added bonus, copying and pasting that here has given the active links to here as well lol

This is correct. It's not an elegant or smart solution, but you'll find Kiss is pretty consistent about that. On your warrior, simply do "/mac kissassist manual", which will allow you to retain completely control of it while still using the background functions such as writing that buffs INI.
 
Manual kiss assist is awesome... Thanks! For some reason the cleric still is ONLY buffing the warrior, no one else in the group. I have no clue. They're both in the same chat, the cleric self buffs, just doesn't buff others in the group. I've read the wall of text. Going to take another look at it though :)
Pretty baffled. All characters in group are running KA while I test. Just can't figure out why the cleric is only buffing itself. Leaving it to only say "Courage" with no particular specifier should mean that it maintains this buff on all characters currently running KA, correct?

Could someone else try creating a kissini for a level 1 cleric that puts courage on the entire group? Perhaps I can compare.

Edited my previous reply to update what I'm attempting. Still no luck.

Edit: Still toying around. If I manually cast Courage on other group members, then click it off, I even get a message in the MacroQuest box saying "Soandso needs Courage because it wore off", but the cleric still only maintains the buff on itself.
 
Gonna sound like a silly request, but could you copy/paste the INI as a whole so that I can attempt with my cleric and another character such as my war.
 
Posting it now. Quick update. I updated all 6 of my characters Ini files. The enchanter is the only other one that casts a buff of any sort (minor shielding). Interestingly, the cleric casts Courage on this character, but none of the others. Another interesting thing happening is that when my cleric sits for mana, the warrior sits his happy ass down too... which can occur in the middle of pulling. Not good. Seems like perhaps my cleric just announcing with some spam when she's below 20% would be better, then I can choose whether or not to proceed.

Good news. Once my characters leveled up a bit (all level 3 now), the cleric started correctly hitting everyone with Courage.
 
Makes me wonder what was causing it. I'm not seeing anything in the code for KA 10.2.6 that would cause it to ignore some targets.

All the same though, KA11 should be out by now and likely would be a good ahead to get ahead of the power curve and use KA11 instead of 10.2.6

There aren't a whole lot of differences, but there are differences.
