Question - Lua for SK

[Vedaire]

just wondering if there is anyone out there that mains an sk that does coding for Lua and could make something similiar to Lerogue for an sk
mainly looking at 2 possible mods dps and tank mode with toggles to be able to turn tank mode off. yep I know bout the plugins. But, I honestly
prefer to drive myself. But, would like to let Lua handle all the button pushing for me.

I think several classes could benefit from this. And I think it could work well with the plugins. I'm running RGMercs on one toons and plugins on 3 toons as I type this. So I'm up for diversity.

That doesn't add up for me.

"I like to drive", "I want the tool to mash all the buttons".

What you described is MQ2Eskay in manual mode which means you drive and when you engage, it will mash all the buttons.

its not that simple wish it was but I'm talking bout custome spellsets that need to be remembered and cast under certain conditions for specific situations
and the plugin just isnt that versatile it works great for plain jane groups but thats not what works for thie situations im talking bout. for instance multi dotting
when there is more then one mob in camp or if I'm only gonna be the backup tank where i dont want it going crazy with agro I just need to be high enough on the
list so it comes to me if the mt dies. and other such things

you're trying to multi dot with your sk? and have a backup tank in group content? I think we play very different games

for instance multi dotting
when there is more then one mob in camp

Manual mode allows you to target and cast what you like and if you use byos, you can set your own spell line up. Hardly see this in group content if your running CC, but I can see it in a raid for sure.

if I'm only gonna be the backup tank where i dont want it going crazy with agro I just need to be high enough on the
list so it comes to me if the mt dies

If you are a backup/OT and not in the same group as MT, then make sure only to set MA and not MT. No taunt with plugin and you can grab agro with AA's

Just some thoughts

Not putting down your request, but why not use KA? It can be configured for exact things you want. The plugins are a great tool, I love them and use them a lot, but I can understand they are not as configurable to personal needs. They exist as another tool. KA also exists and is configurable. More power to you for a SK Lua, but you are asking for a very large amount of work to make so many options in it. Not saying it cannot be done, its just a LOT. You would likely wind up in a similar situation as the plugin. Created for 'most people' use, its difficult to cover every situation. Kiss was designed more with options in mind. Perhaps try it, if you have not.

its not just group content sorry and yes sks can multidot quite well just doing it manually is a pain
I've been messing with ka. but' I was more interested in a nice Lua setup where I could use check boxs and
such to put it in or out of tank or backup tank and just strait dps mode and all the other goodies but
guess I'll just have to try and learn Lua to make it what I want.

I can get having a nice GUI or easy Lua console would be great. Its a part of why Chat's tools are so enjoyed. I play with LeRogue and some of the others, they're great. I have no true idea on its usefulness, maybe a concept that seems good but isn't, smarter people can answer it, I hope a Lua type version of KA exists one day, perhaps similar to your desire for a SK Lua. I may only say this because of lack of knowledge on difference between macro and Lua, and because Lua is the 'shiny new thing' in my eye. I wish you good luck and hope you succeed well and will help in any small way I can. I have been learning enough to break everything well and make small things work. May you build your dream great!

 

[Vedaire]

I'll wind up trying to learn Lua but some stuff like that just winds up
baffling me. But, since I have Lerogue to look at and use as a layout guide
I might just be able to pull it off. Will just have to wait and see.

 

[Undefeated]

Don't, use the plugin, that simple.

Lerogue was made for a Rogue, not SHD - keep that in mind. Rogue doesn't cast spells like SHD does.

If you don't like what X does, don't use it. If you don't know how to write your own, learning is by far the best option because you have a goal in mind which will help drive you. Keep in mind that when you think you are done, you are wrong. You are never done with these tools, the research, the edge cases, the bugs, the eq bugs that you have to code around, the community based feedback of valid different ways of playing, etc.

The $20 I spent on a single plugin was the easiest spend ever. The reason I say this, is that I look at my time versus the money I'm spending. The amount of time I sunk into KissAssist INI files costed me thousands.

Good luck to you in your endeavor.

why would you multidot for aggro? you got massive amounts of aoe aggro spells
