Other - Macro without X-Target window?

[DriveCrash]

Greetings all.

I've ventured down a new path on emulators, playing on the Firiona Vie Project (FVP) Classic server. The FVP servers do allow and support MQ usage, but both the classic and kunark, and some other "classic" servers do not have xtar function. I've tried to find some workarounds for this, but thus far I've come up empty. I remember there was a time in EQ when we didn't have xtar, and bot toons would still respond to assist, perhaps with a direct call to assist through EQBC, but that was eons ago and my memory isn't that hot.

Does anyone currently macro on a server without xtarget, and if so what are you using? I'm running the current release of red guides MQ emu. I don't expect something like KissAssist to work, but if it could, that would be great too. (add command calls in dps to issue dannet/eqbc commands? hmm)

Thanks for any input you have,

I would look at something like Mq2React maybe and the leverage TLOs such as dannet, netbots, where you can.

Try Modbot. It doesn't rely on XTarget. If you do, let me know how it goes. I am working on some changes and would love the feedback on its current functions on EMU.

I made a team on an emu server which didn't have xtarget. Muleassist generally worked. I was able to run with puller bringing mob back to camp completely afk. I made a LEM condition that had the tank target anything within a certain distance: (might be better to break this out into a separate Lua on it's own loop vs running in LEM)

(edited post to remove server name since it isn't even relevant to the post, but I'll leave the post below to clarify what server I was talking about)

local mq = require('mq')

---@return boolean @Returns true if the action should fire, otherwise false.
local function on_load()
    -- Perform any initial setup here when the event is loaded.
end

local function condition()
    return true
end

local function action()
    local nearest_npc = nil
    nearest_npc = mq.TLO.Spawn('npc targetable')
    if mq.TLO.Target.ID() == nil and nearest_npc ~= nil and nearest_npc.DistanceZ() < 10 and nearest_npc.Distance() < 30 then
        mq.cmdf('/mqtarget %s', nearest_npc.CleanName())
    end
    mq.delay(500)
end

return {onload=on_load, condfunc=condition, actionfunc=action}

Just FYI. Mischief is true box. TrueBox is not supported. Circumventing macroquest not working on a true box. Server severely puts your characters at risk.

Are you sure you mean mischief?

To clarify there is an emu server using mischief ruleset called Mischief of Maceblade. That is the server I am referring to. That server allows and encourages the use of MQ

Mischief of Maceblade != Mischief --- thanks for the clarification, probably important for folks to know
