Hello, just want to know if the patch for test is here? Been 2 days now and i know i already got a problem not seeing the patch for 1 week (problem from my side). So my latest version is from 14/01/21 for now and i see "Patch Day - Unavailable"

I merged your thread into the Test Server thread.
Per eqmule test patch is taking a little longer than usual.

I'm curious about something.. they said in the test patch notes that it was being synced up with live.. so with all the changes that eqmule is running into, are these a bunch of ninja-changes etc that they decided not to post?

I'm always nervous when they start getting heavy with changes, they tend to inadvertently break other stuff, causing chain-grief for us all.. and subsequently more work for eqmule and you guys! :)

nah not necessarily.

i definitely don't think its anything to panic about - its just "one of those things" that happens infrequently
 
I think this last part of the official post explains the complications. Additional code upgrades but it doesn’t specify what.

I will say it’s funny how quickly VV becomes a must have. 2-3 weeks ago I was running ISB for my 6box and just fine. Now VV is down and I’m mostly taking it as time for a break and to work on epics for the ne groups I started up. Knocked out bard yesterday, cleric should be done shortly and if it’s not fixed I’ll probably do all of shaman tomorrow.

I can still play without it but I find the loss of QoL items like nav/follow and a few just hugely annoying and after such a short time.

I should pop on and runt my shammy around to get his epic but guess what. I don’t know how to play a shaman lol. I’m too spoiled from MQ2Shaman.

Simple solution is to just have him follow your tank around. Or honestly better yet a bard if you have it. The content is so old you just melee stuff and have shaman follow. He doesn’t have to do anything but loot.

Yeah my bard is my main. I go nowhere without him.

Yeah you get so used to a bard being in a group, that when they're missing, you REALLY notice it!

I have been leveling a new caster group lately, so i have a chanter in place of the bard.. and OMG why do they run so slow!!

10/10 you can "not know how to play a shaman" even better with epic

I was loading up the shaman and pulled up the 1.5 pre-quest on alla. Well the preq-uest needs you to do a chunk of the original epic so I load up that page and there was like, a lot of stuff so I just closed my web browser and shut down EQ lol.

I'm getting an error with redguides MQ2 VV when loading up on the test server. It shows this error in a popup along with a few more similar DLL errors (mq2exchange, etc). I was able to get past these errors and get into the game and see the map and nav, etc. unfortunately, I wasn't able to load a macro successfully. Here is a screenshot of the error. Btw, thanks for working so hard on this. I
also reinstalled the launcher to see if that fixed the error, but it didn't.

I just tried loading it up.. downloaded the test compile, and made sure running most recent test patch on EQ, this is what I got (using autologin to log one of my existing profiles):
1612008690701.png
Hit ok on that, and then manually signed in a toon, next window to pop up (prior to character select), followed by same thing for mq2cast.dll, eqbc, exchange, melee, moveutils, and rez dll's. Once ingame, on my bard, twist plugin failed as well
1612008981596.png

The plugins that loaded and made it through were:
mq2targetinfo, mq2portalsetter, mq2nav, mq2map, mq2itemdisplay, mq2eqbugfix, mq2easyfind, mq2chatwnd, mq2autologin, mq2ic.

I was able to test successfully that targetinfo, nav, map, itemdisplay, easyfind all worked..

autologin definitely did not work though..

Then it crashed on me when i did a /loadskin default as my mq window 'seemed' to had frozen up. .

Let me know if theres anything you want to test / try
 
Hi guys

First let me say I am in awe of what you guys have achieved with Redguides. I usually play on Fironia Vie and downloaded App - no problems ….. wait for it :P

I decided to switch to Test server - so to be safe i did fresh install but still get MQ2 exchange dll is out of date and then its says same for MQ2 melee and rez etc ? Any ideas ?

Thanks
 
have you switched to the test build in your rg vv?
click the drop down box where it says live and switch it to test, and then in settings set a folder to install test to, cant be the same as live.

Hi Guys - thanks for replying. I did switch it on RG installer yeah and deleted the live folder to make sure no clashes but seems alot of the MQ2 plugins cant be found or it says out of date with main MQ2 but ive updated everything i can find ?

read the last few posts of the stickied thread at top of the macroquest 2 sub forum. They are working to get it fixed since the last test patch. Posted a new VV compile last night but the DLL issue you are experiencing cropped up.
 
Having problems updating the new Test server patch. Had to run as Administrator and it appeared to update properly with green text. Received errors when loading Everquest client and once logged into Test server I do not see a MQ2 dialog window. MQ2 appears to be loaded at Character Select, but upon logging into Test, MQ2 dialog window missing...
 
it looks like some plugins didn't rebuild correct - unfortunately I can't just "toss an update" for the files due to it being test server, so this will have to wait until redbot can rebuilt VV again.

but let me see if I can just build and upload some files for you lovely folks here.

gimme a few
 
You’re a good dude, Sic. Thanks for trying to help out our test community, in addition to everything else you do!

Running an erran for wife will be able to test in about 10 minutes. I did have the files below fail earlier and like Sylanos said thanks Sic.

mq2advpath, mq2posse, aaspend, xptracker, and events

added those in the post

hopefully this can cover most folks till VV Test is re-rebuilt
 
Hrm - i guess we can only upload a certain amount of files to a post.

here is a zip instead


These should be the ones missing - let me know if there are others.

just unload mq2 on all your toons /bcaa //unload if you are using eqbc, for example.

unzip all the test.zip files

place all these files in your MQ2 -> Release folder

then go to your mq2 icon
right click
and left click on "Reload MQ2"
