[Maskoi]

What spells are getting memmed in gem 1 Pet DPS BUFF?

 

[unprotectedtext]

Regular group buffs and pet buffs, then after the buffs cast mid fight it will remem the dps back in its normal spot.

 

[Maskoi]

Please download the newest compile and Kiss 8.0.1 and see if that fixes it. there have been some updates.

 

[unprotectedtext]

Ok. Thanks Maskoi. Will report back later tonight. Waiting like everyone else due to the emergency patch today.

 

[Pyrochaser]

I noticed your MiscGem=12 however didn't you want 1 to be your miscgem slot? Not sure if that will help but I hope it at least resolves spell memming issues you may have

Sorry this was meant to say your mage ini file had MiscGem=12

 

[Maskoi]

I think i fixed this error in 8.0.2

 

[TreeHuginDruid]

Please grab KA 8.0.2 and test / report back... thank you.

 

[unprotectedtext]

well the Gem problem has gone away, and about the destructible object problem I have been grouping lots lately so I have nothing to report about that, and the times that I did solo with my chanty it was good. until I get more time to test it out just the two toons im not sure it resolved. thanks a bunch THD and Maskoi.

- - - Updated - - -

Yup for sure spell meming in the right spot now. Now if only I can figure out the destructible object problem, it still seams to be troubling me.

 

[TreeHuginDruid]

I'm able to re-create this condition.

When targetting a pet.. and starting KissAssist with "/macro kissassist assist [PetName] 98"

The value that returns class type reports "Destructable Object"

${Spawn[=${MainAssist}].Class}

That is returning it.

If i have KissAssist running..... and target the pet... and do a "/echo ${Spawn[=${MainAssist}].Class} | ${Target.Class}" I yield "Destructable Object | Rogue"

This issue is highly erratic.... some times this happens... sometimes it does not... I'm trying to pin down under what conditions it happens atm.

--- UPDATE ---

I seem to have resolved this issue..... I need you to test my procedures.

I am able to re-create the condition consistently.... as well as resolve the issue consistently.... by the method in which I load the toons.

Loading multiple toons at the same time via a multilaunch in WinEQ2 / IsoBoxer creates this condition consistently.

Whenever I load multiple account/toons at the same time... this issue occurs.... if i load 1 account/toon at a time.. and wait for each to enter world before starting to load the next toon... this issue does NOT re-occur for me.

1) Go to your MQ2 directory... select it... right click on it... and disable READ ONLY attribute.. and apply it to all sub folders and files.
In this procedure we are ensuring all your MQ2 files and configs are not set to READ ONLY, thus preventing them from being updated / writen to by the system.

2) Load one account at a time / toon into world.
Meaning .... load one account.. select the toon.. load him into world... THEN do this for every other toon.... waiting until they are in world before loading the NEXT toon.

Once all toons are in world and setup.... startup kissassist by targeting the pet.. and issuing a "/macro kissassist assist [petname] 98"
Report back with your results.

If this works... I better see some thanks... lol


ALSO:

The method I use to launch KA on the toon having this issue helps me to know if the issue is present at all or not.
I have a social key setup with the following:

line1=/squelch /target /clear
line2=/squelch /target [petname] pet
line3=/macro kissassist assist

I have my assistAt value set in my config... so i am NOT supplying it in the command line kickoff... and I do NOT supply the pet's name in the command line kickoff.. I leave the macro to pickup who the MA is by having the pet targetted first.

EVEN if the pet is seen as destructable... doing it as I just said... will make it work.. the pet will be your MA and you will still dps if you have it turned on in config.

If the condition exists... this method will fail launching KissAssist properly after the pet is selected, clearing the target after the pet is already targeted, and stopping KissAssist.

If the condition does not exist... this will launch kissassist properly with my toon using the pet as the main assist.

 

[unprotectedtext]

Thank you so much for going through this for me THD. Unfortunately I am working still for another two days, but cannot wait to get home to try this out. As soon as I get a chance I will report back to you.

 

[TreeHuginDruid]

Hey ....

I think solved the problem for good, or at least have a consistently working patch solution.

If you have a pet targetted.. then startup kissassist.. and the pet is relatively close to you (within your camp radius) it gets seen as a "Destructable Object" when returning back ${Spawn[=${MainAssist}].Class} value.
If you move the pet 20 paces outside of the toon's campradius.. then start kissassist with the pet targeted... it always returns back the correct class type.

When your MA pet is seen as a "Destructable Object", it does not properly switch targets to assist the pet as MA and or heal properly....

When your MA pet is seen as a valid pet class type, it does properly switch targets to assist the pet as MA and or heal properly....

I have gone through roughly 30 restart tests.... and in all 30 tests... if the pet is far enough away (slightly outside my own campradius) and i target the pet and run kissassist in assist mode... it WILL see it as a valid pet class and work properly. In ALL tests where the pet was too close when i had it targeted and started kissassist... that is when i see it as a "Destructable Object".

PLEASE TEST THIS ON YOUR END AS WELL.

--- update ---

I threw together a quick macro to test the difference in what spawn class and target class return back for pet via distance.
Initial tests show that many zones do not experience this issue, but certain TDS zones do.
I haven't gone through all expansion zones for obvious reasons.... but here is what I threw together if anyone wants to test this issue in any particular zone.

SpawnTargetCheck.mac

Sub Main

/declare MainAssist   string   outer  ${Target.CleanName}

:MainLoop
   /if (!${Target.ID}) {
       /echo Ending macro, no target ID.
       /end
   }
   /echo T-Type:(${Target.Type}) T-Class:(${Target.Class}) SpnClass:(${Spawn[=${MainAssist}].Class})    
   /echo Dist:(${Target.Distance}) T-ClsSNm:(${Target.Class.ShortName})
   /delay 5
   /goto :MainLoop
/return

Just target the pet... and run the macro.
Let it go a few cycles then have the pet owner slowly walk away from you with pet following.
Check at what distance the SpnClass starts to freak out and report (Destructable Object).

To end the macro, simply drop target, or hit your social key with /end in it.

One zone I know for sure has the issue is Brother Island... going through zones one by one and comparing results.

I have tried all the things posted, this problem seams very erratic. the biggest problem I have when the pet goes destructible is the MA buffs. it tells me you must target someone before casting this spell. the small macro you made has helped me to know when to start kissassist on my second toon, which has helped greatly. I really appreciate all the help THD. I am still testing all this out with all the info you gave me. I'm starting to think it has something to do with my computer itself since I seam to be the only one that has this problem. Thanks again THD!!! I will be sending a donate your way.

Oh just so you know I have followed all your instructions to a T and the problem goes away then comes back. Very erratic. I think it has something to do with the fact that I never have a camp in one spot. always roving around and never afk.

 

[unprotectedtext]

Just an update, I've been using your test macro to find the best time to start up my second toon with KA and it seams the only time my second toon sees the pet as a warrior is when I stand directly on top of the pet, as a result I've been running the test macro till I it changes back to a warrior. I thought that it was strange since you were getting the opposite effect where you had to be farther away. since the MA buffs I have set up for the enchanter still wont land until he is on top of the pet I've made some changes to the way I set them up in KA. Specifically the rune spells that my enchanter cast, I have now set them up as heals and to watch an xTarget and set up an xTarget to be targets target and everything is working very well. I know this isn't a fix for the weird and erratic problem that I seam to be having, but it solves the issue that I been having with KA not hitting my pet with the runes to help the cleric with heals since I like to tackle stuff harder than I should be doing. As for the Mage I have now set up two KA ini files, one for when I am just pettanking and one for when I am in a group with a real tank, and I switch to them accordingly. when there is a real tank I have no issues at all with MA buffs in the dps section and buff section, just if I am trying to make the pet MA. Now I just switch back an forth between my group ini and pettank ini on my mage and the chanty is working great with the runes set up as heals.

Also just wanted to say thanks again TreeHuginDruid, I really appreciate you looking into this for me.
