Release Make Crew [Bind] 2022-09-07

[SpecialEd]

SpecialEd submitted a new resource:

Make Crew [Bind] - No frills, no fluff, just put my damn groups together I have things to kill.

A sexy little lua bind to throw your group(s) together in a jiffy. Combined with mq2autoaccept, we're unstoppable.

Credits: Shamelessly inspired (read: copied/stolen) from @exspes007 / entropy / core.

Steps below assume you have

1) copied the LIP.lua into the root lua folder
2) created "binds" directory under your lua folder
3) copied the makecrew.lua into the "binds" directory

Start the script on any characters who regularly form groups - /lua run...

Any chance this could add group rolls, such as MT MA pull etc? As is this is a great little script. I use it when autogroup fails due to spell casting.

SpecialEd updated Make Crew [Bind] with a new update entry:

Adding Group Roles

- Added functionality to store group roles when saving a crew. These will be assigned when the crew is formed.

Note: You should resave your crews to avoid any issues with the previous version of the ini.

Very cool thank you so much. It works great.

Would this allow me to assign the same characters to multiple group configurations? This is a limitation of MQ2AutoGroup and it only allows a character to be in one group.

As many as you want. That's a dumb limitation.

 

[RYN227]

This is really interesting then, i'll have to think up all sorts of new groups with existing characters and give it a try. Thanks!

 

[exspes007]

theres a plugin for making groups...

Agreed!! I have different group configurations, often sharing some pivotal roles, for farming, raids, progression, etc. I have these all broken out with multiple autologin profiles, but they won't group together with mq2autogroup -- so I've resorted to making "Invite" hotbuttons on my driver.

To future new users, <CrewName> = case sensitive.
If you save it by /mc Crew1 save, won't work when load it by /mc crew1

Is there a command to list what crews have already been created?

Is there a command to list what crews have already been created?

I don't believe so I always have to go look at my crew.ini for this sadly

 

[loqusiste]

So I have found my crew.ini and it does reflect the crew I built - ensuring I have it all case sensitive - they /mc command "/mc eziaincrew" returns the crew eziaincrew does not exist ?

Any hints please? Crew.ini is in the config folder if this is right ?

Crew.ini is located in your config folder?
Entry like this.

[Main]
Member0=Toon1
Member1=Toon2
Member2=Toon3
Member3=Toon4
Member4=Toon5
Member5=Toon6
Roles0=MainTank,MainAssist,MasterLooter

and running /makecrew Main

GUI for MakeCrew
If you have the binds folder place it in there and run /Lua run binds/makecrew
if not throw the makecrew.Lua in your Lua folder and run /Lua run makecrew

 

[Cannonballdex]

So I was bored and started modifying this UI again. Thought I would share.
Added buttons for
Disband All Groups
Disband Targeted Merc
Disband All Mercs
Players listed in the window are now target clickable. If you double click a name in a group it will target the player or merc.
Also, now when clicking the group name it will send commands to other group leaders to run makecrew and then form the group.

 

[Crash]

Ignore.. I figured it out. I put the whole makecrew folder that contained the init.Lua in the binds folder.

How do I get the UI?
My folder looks like this.

I am getting this error and I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it numerous times

For best results, you are going to name the Group the same name as your Leader of the group.
