TY!
It just opens the file in notepad. I know I somehow funked up.
Did you follow the video?
You right click and run powershell

I am getting an error when running it in power shell first it was I couldn't run scripts so I changed my settings to allow it. Now I am getting a different error after it goes I get a security warning and I select [R] Run once:
New Error says

I found the line of code it was referencing but it looks fine where the less than signs are it has "-in".
Any ideas? I've done this on a few other computers no issues but the one I am working on now only has windows 7 if that is an issue.
well. is that your mq2 folder you wish to migrate over to your new, next folder?
did you check out > This Guide <
can you articulate what issue with the migrator?
a bunch of the files go in different places now, you'd spend all day doing it manually, and likely miss some or mess some up
unfortunately MacroQuest "Next" isn't going to run on windows 7
microsoft stopped supporting windows 7 a bit ago, you are definitely going to want to get updated.
not the answer I wanted to hear but thanks for the quick response. I have had no issues with 7 and hate the thought of switching everything over to 11. Never seems to go as planned and apps I have used forever always seem to vanish or become unsupported.
you don't *know* of any issues you're having with windows 7
it is very very very out of date, and very very very behind serious and critical security updates

The migration tool, for some reason didn't work for me. I'm sure I screwed something up and have no idea what. Using Next, MQ is wonky and some features are kind of working, but others aren't working at all. I'm thinking it might make sense to delete and reinstall everything and just start from scratch with Next, bypassing live. But I have no idea. I'm not a savvy computer person.
Just looking for some advice on what to do here.
MQ2Nav isn't working for me. Finding zone entrances and whatnot isn't working. The class plugins are working ok. Grind is working on one computer, but not on my laptop. But like the VV stuff is not working - the integrated stuff.
I'm just wondering if it's something I'm supposed to be doing with Next, like downloading meshes to a specific file or something else I'm not doing that's preventing me from being able to get the full functions.

that doesn't sound like the migration toon if it migrated all your settings and your settings are all working as they're expected to.
did you watch > This < ?
specifically the part about
mental notes:
1. mq2map click is Control+Shift+Click
2. new easyfind self travel is Control+Click (reminder in find window title bar)
3. new easyfind group travel is Control+Shift+Click
4. If you selected a destination in your zone guide and want to activate it you /travelto activate
5. /yes and /no are now aliases !yes and !no if you need them.
definitely consider posting next stuff in the next thread - or even the that functions/features thread if you had some specific questions about that.
the migrator thread is for the migrator utility which just migrates over things like your meshes and configurations/settings files to the new appropriate location
hi,
i am in trouble trying to switch to MQnext.
First step is ok, legacy installed in D:\MQ2 and and next installed in D:\MQ2NEXT.
Second step, migration:
- I downloaded macroquestMigrator.zip, unziped in D:\
- I right click on macroquestMigrator.ps1 and choose run with PowerShell
- PowerShell icon appear in my toolbar and... nothing more.
So i ran Windows PowerShell ISE by right click on powershell icon on my toolbar
In PowerShell, i opened macroquestMigrator.ps1 and ran it.
Result:
http://prntscr.com/268y1mi
so i launched https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=135170... = incomprehensible for me.
I m not an IT engineer so is it possible to have a tool to switch to MQ2Next for dummies pls?

just follow the installation guide.
it will make a new directory.
proximity does not matter.
what you don't want to do it force the launcher to install next into your old mq2 directory, which you would have to specifically tell it to do. so don't do that and you will be fine.
@Labagarre i already replied to you here, please don't delete and repost the exact same thing in other places.
regarding your question:
just follow the installation guide.
it will make a new directory. once the directory is made, use the migrator to migrate your mq2 stuff to the next install you just created

the problem was you already had folks answering you, then you just deleted, and reposted the copy pasta with flagrant disregard for the folks who took time to answer you.
sure i'll move your post.
please ensure you're reading the responses.
