Problem - looting

[dekar56]

hey guys once again i come to you, its weird most of the time when i have my tank setup the group as himself as master looter or even turn him off from it, he is able to always right click and send to specific people if i need to, however at times like right now. he will not be able to right click, any suggestions to fix this or is there a command or something that i am missing, did something turn on?
i am refering to advloot right clicking the item to send to specific people

I occasionally have this happen. Sometimes, ML has already been turned over to someone else explaining it so make sure you are still ML when attempting this as Ninja now will reassign ML when bags get full. But other times I have had it happen regardless. Reloading KA might help in that it reloads Ninja. I fear MQ2 caches code, seldomly, and if that's the case unloading and reloading MQ2 might help. I have not been able to reproduce it reliably enough to debug it.

how do i unload and reload mq2?

Right click on the MQ2 icon in SysTray and choose Exit, then launch it again from your MQ2 folder. Not sure this will solve it...

FYI - in my experience, Unloading MQ2 like this will force crash all your currently logged in characters. Not sure how safe this action is supposed to be from the perspective of Crash files being allowed to pass to DBG servers while MQ2 is unloaded and the toons crash, so I simply avoid this altogether and kill the toons instances before attempting to Unload or close MQ2. If anyone has anything to add to this rambling, I would be interested in knowing more than just my supposition.

Exiting the tray icon will not unload mq2 it will only exit macroquest2.exe.

You can unload mq2 in a couple of ways, if you launched the game from the tray icon you should use the menu you launched with which now said (Loaded) click on it and (Loaded) goes away and mq2 is now unloaded.
If you have macros running you should do /end first.
If you have eqbc loaded you can unload all sessions by doing /bcaa //unload

If you did NOT launch from the tray icon, you should just do /unload in game.

To reload you would have 2 options either you load through the auto login system on your tray icon, or you click the refresh injections which will do it as well. (Ok fine there is a third option, you can exit tray and start macroquest2.exe again but basically that's exactly the same as clicking refresh injections so I don't know what the point of exit and restarting it would be unless you for some reason lost the wmi service and needed to reconnect to it... (Macroquest2.exe uses wmi to get notified when eqgame starts or exits))

Thank you EQMule, I'm out of red Cents else I would click it for you.

Additional thought.
If the item is LORE you can not send it to someone that already has one, even if it's in their bank.
If the intended recipient has the item filtered to 'never' you can not send the item to them.
Watch for message in your main EQ window.

Like others I have occasionally had strange things happen using macroquest. Clicking the tray icon and refreshing injections has always worked for me.

Thx EQMule; that explains why I was suspecting MQ2 caches code, because given the method, it didn't actually unload. I have had a toon bumped completely out and upon logging back the macro that was running continued. I was thinking that could only happen if the execution path was stored somewhere.

I will say I have had the best luck simply 'refreshing injections'. Now that I think back, there have been times I issued an /unload and that seemed pretty thorough and solved whatever it was at the time's issue.

I haven't confirmed it, but I've heard that if you click on the "manage" gear button (or whatever it is) it breaks the right click functionality sometimes.

may have nothing to do with what you're experiencing, may not be true anymore, but maybe it helps.

If the UI stops working like mouse clicks don't work and so on you can reset it by doing a /loadskin default

(Or whatever your UI is called)
