Release MQ2AAspend

I use the brute mode, it purchases glyphs, as it says that i dont have any aa's left to purchase. but still have aa's. but they are CoV ranks only. i have special tab to go last in my order. weird. I have also tried manually inputting them into the ini to try and force it that way, still didnt work.

if you are using brute, you don't want to put it in the ini as that is for the non-brute mode - you're likely just below your bank, but not enough to actually buy the cov AAs - so it outputs that you don't have any you can buy.

I keep my bank fairly high - like 200/220 and order 53214 - maybe try that.

tho i do see an update i need to do - to update to the current autogrant xpac for the bonus aaspend stuff.
 
Ok, so. Tested it, set up my INI to autospend and turn brute off........It spent the aa's as set up, till the rank of the aa got to CoV. when the rank got to CoV, it went on to the next aa line that i have set in the INI. so im thinking its not registering there is more ranks to the aa's.
 
I have to figure out how to exclude an aa... aaspend messes up the toggle aa's like shaman languid bite. You never ever ever want languid enabled on raids.
 
Mine is buying CoV AAs as expected. I did not have to alter anything from my pre-expac setup. However, I was max AA on all characters so the only possible thing that it could buy at this point is new CoV ranks. But it is definitely buying CoV AAs, so if you're having problems, it's something other than "plugin doesn't recognize that CoV ranks exist".

For reference, my ini settings are as follows:
Code:
[MQ2AASpend_Settings]
AutoSpend=0
BruteForce=1
BruteForceBonusFirst=0
BankPoints=200
SpendOrder=43215

could there be a toggle AA that screws up?
 
[MQ2AASpend_Settings]
AutoSpend=1
BruteForce=0
BruteForceBonusFirst=0
BankPoints=0
SpendOrder=35214
[MQ2AASpend_AAList]
0=Leech Touch|M
1=Theft of Life|M
2=Cascading Theft of Life|M
3=Soul Abrasion|M

With this being the ini i have configured.
Leech touch ranked up on autospend, as intended. UNTIL it got to the CoV rank and then it proceeded to the next line of Theft of Life.
Thats why im suspecting its not recognizing the CoV aa's.

Your Bank is zero. so it's going to try to buy cheaper AAs until there aren't any other possibilities but to look for more expensive AAs. It's a bit unorthodox, but the way the plugin works is that it always tries to buy something, even if not in your intended order. In order to force the ordering, you need to have enough AAs banked that all things become viable targets.

Yup, my suggestion was adjusting the bank as well
 
stops working randomly on toons. Not sure why

/aaspend brute on
/aaspend bank 200
/aaspend save

Sometimes it works. and other times I have char that's been not getting AAs for a while then(

A common culprit is a 0 cost toggle AA. Things like Languid Bite, Bold Attacks, etc. The plugin can get caught up on those.
 
Redbot updated MQ2AAspend with a new update entry:

Autogrant update

  • Updated MQ2AASpend to automatically adjust with Autogrant for Bonus purposes.
  • my auto-space cleanup removed an extra space.

Read the rest of this update entry...
 
So being lazy like I am and not wanting to read though 4 pages, I have a quick Question. If I set Brute force on will it just buy all my AA as I get the points?
 
So being lazy like I am and not wanting to read though 4 pages, I have a quick Question. If I set Brute force on will it just buy all my AA as I get the points?
IF it doesn, try setting /aaspend bank 100 (or anything else)
IF it stops buying, check that there isnt a toggle AA in the way (that can cause problems)

yes if you set it up to buy aas as you get points, it will buy aas as you get points
 
Anyone figured out how to get /aaspend to ignore the Enable/Disable AA's? My Enchanter is stuck trying to purchase Color Shock: in brute mode.
 
if i want this just to buy whatever i dont have whenever i make my spend level, what do i need to do? I got the order and cap set... just dont care what it buys cayuse its all useless focus and tradeskill AAs

this is how i set mine up

Code:
/aaspend brute on
/aaspend order 53214
/aaspend bank 200
/aaspend save

then /aaspend status looks like

this is an included plugin - there is no reason to click the download button - the VV launcher already does that for you.

> MQ2AASpend Commands Tab <

and in the post above yours, i give a really quick and easy way to set it up.

Code:
/plugin mq2aaspend load
/aaspend brute on
/aaspend order 53214
/aaspend bank 200
/aaspend save

then your /aaspend status looks like:

ok i got it working, the problem im having is i have everything listed just like yours but its still wanting to spend my general tab first, so it keeps buying the tradeskill aa's
 
I did /aaspend brute on
/aaspend bonus on
/aaspend order 32154 , but it goes right to the special tab and keeps buying glyphs when I have thousands of aa to spend on all the other tabs that are listed before it.

any idea where I might have gone wrong ?

did you set a bank and save?

(i normally do 53214, but below is your 32154)
Code:
/plugin mq2aaspend load
/aaspend brute on
/aaspend order 32154
/aaspend bank 200
/aaspend save

and then do a /aaspend status
 
Greetings,
New to macroquest and after the patch my /aaspend commands dont work anymore i get an error saying that " Docommand - couldnt parse '/aaspend status' Any ideas? it worked up until after patch this morning

you need to have the plugin loaded

/plugin mq2aaspend load
 
I have 12 toons set up using aaspend brute on, for the life of me I cannot get my bard to autospend AA. All settings are the same in the ini files. I always have to run /aaspend brute on and then /aaspend save to get him to spend aa each time I log in.

Try to add /aaspend bank 50
Or
Do you have a toggle AA coming up making the macro halt? Used to cause trouble simetimes

if you get hiccups you can turn on debug and try and force it and see if it tells you

/aaspend debug on then /aaspend brute now
