I guess the lfs.dll was out of date and did not get updated or reinstalled when I deleted it as recommended in a previous post
I ran the following command in a CMD window "runas an administrator"
Code: 
"C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\VeryVanilla\MacroQuest\Release\luarocks.exe" --lua-version 5.1 --only-server "https://luarocks.macroquest.org/2.1.1697887905" install --deps-mode none --tree "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\VeryVanilla\MacroQuest\Release\modules\2.1.1697887905\luarocks" "luafilesystem"

Now MAUI and Boxhud run.

And the MAUI FAQs are outdated with the older version 2.0.5 of the luarocks files.

The FAQ specifically says in bold that the 2.0.5 in the command should be replaced with whatever version is printed out in the URL when the script attempts to install lfs.dll normally. Not sure what more I could really put there.

Also the whole reason for all these problems is apparently people running things as administrator which shouldn't be done.
 
Nobody should be running luarock directly.

You’re breaking your install by running as admin, making it so that MQ can’t write the required files.

Delete the luarocks folder in appdata/local and run eq without elevated

Aqo: we should delete the manual luarocks command instructions

Uhm...update your documentation to match the versions of the required software so non-technical people don't post the same question. I've worked in IT and cyber for 30 years and the most frustrating thing I have ever found is documentation with its doc versioning behind what is required to sucessfully install because programmers don't find it important enough to update their documentation. I spent 22 years in the military and laziness is not something I can tolerate. But thank you for your hard work, knowledge, and plugin.

Redguides launcher and EQ both pop-up a UAC when started.

Eq does not. That’s the only thing that matters here. If it is, you made it do that
 
I’m going to start sounded like a broken record here: do not run crap you downloaded from the internet voluntarily as admin. Geeze. That’s how you infect your computer with uncontrollable malware

Sorry the Steam client wants admin rights...not EQ
Click to expand...
It should not be doing that. It doesn’t for me. There is zero reason why any game needs admin. It concerns me and it should ABSOULTELY concern you
 
Sketchy. Maybe it’s something in steam compat settings. Are you using the steam overlay? Any reason you don’t just launch directly?
 
Just a question - MAUI seems to only want to show 15 entries from the heals section of the ini. When I created the ini, the heals0, heals1, etc were all in order, 0-28, with their conditions right after the heal. When I went back into the ini, its ordered up to 15, then it kinda goes crazy with a few lines that are usually above or below the heals/conditions in after 15, and the rest are pretty well scrambled up. I thought it was just on the computer my cleric is on, but when I checked the others, they also cap out at 15 in MAUI, it's just the cleric that exceeded that amount.

yeah for whatever reason its set to 15 in maui, you can edit it in maui/schemas/ma.Lua just look for Heals properties section
 
Anyone know why I would be getting the error "couldn't parse '/lassist'" when running maui on a emu server (RoF2 client)?
 
So I confirmed that Mq2Lua plugin was loaded. Noticing some other odd behavior, but it's been a while since I've used MA, so I could be mis-remembering the behavior I'm expecting. Will review the .mac and post or on forums if any questions or issues come up.
 
Can anyone help me with this, not sure if im missing a plugin or forgetting to load one. When i try to drag items to my spell boxes in maui it doesnt let me drop it into the box, it disappears as soon as my cursor is over thr ui window. New to all this so its a steep learning curve for me lol.
 
Shouldn't be any plugins that affect it - I had never dragged and dropped before, just used the right click menu on the spell slot in maui to choose from the menu. Just loaded a toon I'd never used it on, and found that dragging does work, it feels a bit different, as when you click on the spell slot (say, in DPS), the icon on your cursor doesn't go away, although the spell does land in the DPS entry. You do need to bump up the counter for the number of entries you want for each section, and a few of the sections have 2 counbters, like Buffs - one is for buffbegs, the other for actual buffs. The begs section allows you to set up buffs that can be cast based on a tell to that toon with one or more keywords. You'll still need to set up conditions for that spell, etc. by clicking into that slot. Setting up from scratch is a very difficult and drawn out thing - I would definitely recommend looking in the .ini resources are for one that is reasonably close in level to the toon you are setting up, copy and paste everything below general into the starter ini file MuleAssist created in your config directory using notepad, in place of what is there currently. You can use both MuleAssist and Kissassist inis, the KissAssist ones just need to do a conversion to work with Mule. I usually look through what is in several different contributor's offerings, and adjust from there. For extensive conditions, I'd recommend VorpalChicken's inis as a great starting point. Browsing through other's work though really can help you get a better feel for what can be done with the ini. inis without conditions produces the same effective result as putting spellgems in hotkey 1-6 and just going down the row pushing buttons whenever they are available. Conditions put some thought into when you cast particular things, so you don't waste casts that really don't accomplish anything, because the situation is not right when you get to that button.

awesome, appreciate the input. The issue is im trying to set some of my clickable items as a buff. I played on Peq with E3 and could set it up via the ini so im assuming i can probably do the same thing itll just be a matter of learning the language to put in the buff line of the ini.
 
for clickys I usually just start typing the name into the first line on MAUI, and it will autofill as it finds it in inventory.
 
Are you targeted on an npc? This would be expected, particularly if your start line doesn't specify an assist, or the toon is the assist. If toon is your assist, make sure target is clear, or self. All other toons should be starting with a statement like /mac muleassist assist MyAssist. You can also use a TLO in there, so if you set main assist with grouproles, can do /mac muleassist assist ${Group.Assist} (something like that - if you look at the options in MAUI, you'll get the correct syntax)
 
Wrong forum
Can someone assist me with the Burn tab on MAUI. I get the Name of the ability, but what do i put for Options line in this? Is it mob HP %?

Does MAUI limit the number of spells in a tab? The buffs section of the INI for my enchanter has 23 total spells, but only the first 20 show up and the last 3 are only visible in the INI. I've attempted to increase the size in MAUI to like 25, but it seems to reset itself to 20.

Same issue with the Cleric:
BuffsSize=22, but cannot display more than 20.

I have the DPS Section on my Zerker set to 29 and it seems to display all the DPS items fine.

Also, I'm noticing the INI is not updating when:
1) I edit the INI outside of EQ and then "Refresh Raw INI" with MAUI
2) Edit the INI in MAUI, then "Save Raw INI" and open it outside of EQ

Is it possible these are errors because I am using MuleAssist INI files that have the level in them?

File name: MuleAssist_server_Mage_1xx.ini

ETA: Overall, I'm very, very impressed with MAUI, it feels like a pretty seamless transition from MQ2Mule, awesome work!

Thanks!

There is a file you can edit in a subfoldert of maui: Look for Distro/Lua/Maui/Schemas/ma.Lua - open in an editor - look for the section you need more in, then under that section, look for Max=20, or whatever number it happens to be. Change the number to some larger number you like (I went for 40). save file, now MAUI will display all your entries.

[CODE title="ma.Lua snip"] Buffs={
Controls={
On={
Type='SWITCH',
},
COn=true,
},
Properties={
Buffs={
Type='LIST',
Max=20,
Conditions=true,[/CODE]
