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

I have them all set at bank 200, may be a problem that I have the last rank that cost 205, but still think it would purchase it once it gets to 205. As I mentioned this is only happening on the bard class. Seen someone else post similar issue with bard above. Will run some debug and try messing with the bank.

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.

@ctaylor22
using a trick on sham once maxed to only buy glyph and forget these enabled/disabled aas, /aaspend order 44444
so brute will only buy aas in special tab.

Any one having issues with AAspend working? I set it up today and it didn't spend any AA's.

works as expected here

this is what i do
Code: 
/plugin mq2aaspend load
/aaspend bank 200
/aaspend order 53214
/aaspend brute on
/aaspend save

and you can see what is holding you up with using the debug feature
/aaspend debug on
then
/aaspend brute now
 
This is not working for me! /plugin mq2aaspend /aaspend load /aaspend order 3,2 /aaspend save is what I did . Still can't get it to work!
 
got it to work for the most part then my mage kept crashing on login. it was Mq2aaspend unloaded it and now she's fine and running with the rest of the group.
 
Could this be modified to work with Merc AAs as well that would be awesome cause i forget to check sometimes when i do a mission and a lot of times will lose AAs due to max bank Thanks A Lot
 
For those of you who level characters and want specific AA's done. Would anyone share their AAspend.ini for a Shadowknight ---AA'd towards defensives and survivability?
 
When I use the bonus function to get non auto grant aa's, it only does a few hundred in class or archetype tabs and then stops buying altogether. It won't do any of the tradeskills or other non granted aa's and I feel like it used to. If it didn't, surely it's supposed to? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
 
I have noticed with bard or rogue (maybe other classes) with the aa that has "Enabled" next to them will give an error unable to purchase Enabled such and such aa" You need to purchase those by hand and close them out and things will pick up buying as normal. If this is the case you will see which aa is failing to buy in the mq window.

Is there a way to stop the "I couldn't find any AA's to purchase" messages when your toons are max AA? 99% of the time this is true, until I need to rebuy a glyph AA, but in the mean time the messages are spamming my MQ2 window every time I get some experience.

For context: I'm using the plugin to auto-purchase glyph AAs (that are spent by CWTN's plugins), so if there is a better way of doing the same thing I'm open to that too.
 
Turn off AAspend (until next xpac releases and you have more AA to buy) and use MQ2React
Code: 
Buy Glyph of Destruction: 
    action: /alt buy 5304
    condition: "${AltAbility[Glyph of Destruction (115+)].CanTrain}"
 
AASpend seems to be working for me mostly...until I tried to put a Focus: in the ini.
Bank set to 50, spend order 532, 140+ AA stocked up
0=Focus: Krasir's Recourse|m
I ran the debug on and brute now commands.
The debug says "DEBUG: buying (not really) Focus: Flock's Breath" Flock's Breath is not in my ini file at all, anywhere.
Then I see debugging lines:
MQ2AASpend :: Have Focus: Krasir's Recourse from ini, checking...
MQ2AASpend :: Focus: Krasir's Recourse is available for purchase. Cost is 40, tab is 5
MQ2AASpend :: Focus: Krasir's Recourse current level is 4
MQ2AASpend :: Attempting to purchase level 5 of Focus: Krasir's Recourse for 40 points.
MQ2AASpend :: Debugging so I wont actually buy Krasir's Focus

These Focus are 100 AA at this point, not 40. I'm pretty sure this is why it is failing.
Where is it getting the information that the next level is only worth 40 AA? And how do I go about getting that changed so it doesn't FAIL to buy the right AA I want.

Then to add insult to injury, when I take off Debug and brute now...the damn thing bought Flock's Breath level 5 for 100, but not Krasir's Recourse, the one and only AA I had in the ini.
Flock's Breath is not the first Focus AA in the list that isn't maxed, it bypassed a few others when it spent those AA.
I update VV everyday, this Failing to buy Focus has been happening for a while.

do you have brute turned on? because you want auto and not brute

/aaspend brute off
/aaspend auto on

Code: 
/aaspend brute on|off|now - Buys first available ability on ding, or now if specified. Default
/aaspend auto on|off|now - Autospends AA's based on ini on ding, or now if specified. Default

Yes and yes.
Here is what the AASpend portion of the ini looks like. It has ignored Focus: Krasir's Recourse and has already auto maxed Adamant Will and is working on Combat Stability (not Agility).
I just threw a bunch of AA in there so I wouldn't overflow the 230 cap while working on this 'Focus' issue I am having.

[MQ2AASpend_Settings]
AutoSpend=1
BruteForce=0
BruteForceBonusFirst=0
BankPoints=15
SpendOrder=532
[MQ2AASpend_AAList]
0=Focus: Krasir's Recourse|10
1=Adamant Will|m
2=Combat Agility|m
3=Combat Stability|m
4=Mental Stamina|m
5=Focus: Regenerating Counterbias|m
6=Focus: Halcyon Bluster|m
 
I read that it was recommended to not have BankPoints =0, so I had set BankPoints =215 but it kept hitting the 230 cap and I had a few wasted AA messages because it didn't spend on Krasir's Recourse.
I just tried changing to BankPoints =120 and when it hit 120 AA, it bought 5/10 Focus: Krasir's Recourse. So, that's good.

I guess even with the SpendOrder starting with 5, when it reached 20 AA it would buy Combat Stability, the cheapest AA in the AASpend_AAList from Tab 1 which is not even in the SpendOrder
When I set it to BankPoints =120 it accumulated enough to buy Focus: Krasir's Recourse under tab 5 and did.
It is working, but not quite as intuitive as I infer to get the SpendOrder working with the prioritizing in the AASpend_AAList.
I made the BankPoints =120 on my SK and he is now buying Focus AA too.

I think SpendOrder is only for Brute mode. If you're naming individual AAs, it's going to follow that list and disregard the SpendOrder setting.
 
Trying to get AAspend setup on my bard but it wont buy. Turning debug on lists all the AA's loading into maps, but when it reaches the time to buy it states "Buying(not really) Combat Fury."

Where have I gone wrong?

buying not really is because debug is on. meaning that is what would have been purchased had you not had debug on.

this is what i do:

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

Thanks! Not sure what was wrong, but it is now working.
 
Curious question. is there a way to auto spend on Merc AA too? or is there a specific AAspend for merc? Just curious. Thanks.
 
I have mq2aaspend working on 6 toons right now and on each one Brute is turned on, with an order of 32154 ... but it keeps buying tradeskill mastery AAs while ignoring the buy order. Is there a global .ini type file for this plugin that I can nuke in order to start over?

your aaspend settings go into your "servername_toonname.ini" file in your release folder, in that file under the [MQ2AASPEND_Settings] section

you might need to set a bank

here is what i do

Code: 
/plugin mq2aaspend load
/aaspend bank 200
/aaspend order 53214
/aaspend brute on
/aaspend save
 
Trying to type /aaspend brute on with my Shaman and it will not work but it is working just fine with my Mage. Any suggestions!

set the bank something high so i can make sure i get the high cost stuff first - order set to do focus, class, arch, general, special, turn on brute, and save.

there are some AAs that are a 0/1 toggle that aaspend sometimes gets hung up on

you can do an /aaspend debug on followed by an /aaspend brute now and it should tell you what it would try to buy, and why it might be failing

For some reason, it would not create an .ini file for the Shaman ....so I manually created it and it works fine. Not sure why it would not work ...but it is now and not worth the energy to figure out why it would not create the INI file. Thanks for your help SiC! I just manually put in what you have showed me and it is working fine. Ciao and Thank You!!!
 
Hey Mates,

I've been sitting at my PC since 8h and try to set up MQ2AAspend at 3 different chars.
it works very well with 2 out of 3 characters. With the 3 Char, the MQ2 Brute Force on does not want to work .... it saves 220 AA and then does nothing ...
Restart, INI reload everything doesn't help ... now I've restarted all 3 characters and now the phenomenon has reached another character. it is always the same 2 of 3 characters use MQ2 AA spend Brute on and the 3 Banked 230 points and does nothing

The INI is always the same: 2 out of 3 spend aa at brute force.. the 3rd doesnt spend auto!

INI: 
[MQ2AASpend_Settings]
AutoSpend=0
BruteForce=1
BruteForceBonusFirst=0
BankPoints=220
SpendOrder=35214
[MQ2AASpend_AAList]

I merged your aaspend question into the aaspend thread, and updated your post so only the aaspend information is in there.

This is what i usually do, it appears yours is setup correctly, however.
Code: 
/plugin mq2aaspend load
/aaspend bank 200
/aaspend order 53214
/aaspend brute on
/aaspend save

you might be running into one of those 0/1 off/on AAs on that toon in particular - the AAs that you can toggle its usage of.

you can test this by doing:

Q. It is not spending anything?
A. You can debug it with a /aaspend debug on and then /aaspend brute now and it will spit out what's hanging you up.

Anyone got an aaspend list for a 110 sk (autogrant used already). I searched around and found a lot of aaspend info but nothing as far as a list to setup the aaspend for an sk. If i missed it i'm sorry and thank you in advance for any replies.

Most people just use brute mode. Having to input each AA name so that the plugin follows a specific order is a very tedious process.
 
ah ok , ty. Now for a supernoob question, I went to download it to set it all up and it takes me to you're git sic. It wants me to download a whole very vanilla thing.... i dont know where to go from here cause im assuming i don't want the whole very vanilla being that i already have it.

MQ2AAspend is already included in VV so you don't need to download it. Just enable it.

/plugin mq2aaspend load

yup like tibs said, you can just load it up - it is already part of the Very Vanilla install. there's nothing extra you need to do for any of the "included" plugins other than fire it up, put your settings to how you want them, and off ya go.

this is what i usually do (type these out in game with the slash)
INI: 
/plugin mq2aaspend load
/aaspend bank 200
/aaspend order 53214
/aaspend brute on
/aaspend save

this says:
Load the plugin
set my aa bank to 200 aa points - so you will have 200 points before spending any
i would like to apply my points in this order in the AA tab windows: focus, class, arch, general, special
i would like to brute buy based on those settings
i would like to save these settings


keeping a high bank allows you to ensure you actually buy still you still need to buy in that tab, it also allows for "manual intervention" if you happen to have AAs burning a hole in your pocket - i keep these settings on all the time, and i still pop over and manually spend here and there - but i'll never cap out and be sitting on unspent AA this way
