That's all eqmule, but yes I don't doubt macro authors will find it useful!

 

[SpecialEd]

Is the source not available for this in the VV repo?

 

[Redbot]

that's correct

 

[SpecialEd]

It feels a little soon for RG to distribute more of eqmules closed source resources, given the very recent mq2ic scandal. Hopefully you've at least been able to review the source.

Ideally, the next team is able to port this over and open the source so everyone can feel comfortable using this functionality.

 

[Redbot]

Yup, I can review the source as can other creators, and can confirm it meets our rules & guidelines. The source is not peer-reviewed to the level that a public plugin is, however.

mq2ic can be discussed here: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/mq2ic-is-not-necessary.77442/

@SpecialEd you are throwing a lot of shade for someone who is 40 days into your subscription. An awful lot of servers, databases, applications and code out there are centralised, private, or encapsulated code. I hope you are equally vociferous in your objections to these things, otherwise your post looks like an unjustified personal attack.

Hey so trying to figure this out.
Using my Novice Hunter of Torment of Velious as an example
I have completed this achievement already.

Doing:

/echo ${Achievement[32].Category[7].Item[1].Objective[1]}
Returns "Hunter of The Eastern Wastes"

/echo ${Achievement[32].Category[7].Item[1].Objective[1].Completed}
Returns "FALSE"

Why does it return FALSE when I have completed this objective of the achievement?

He's saying it because closed source plugins are a violation of the open source license mq2 is released under.

Can confirm. Getting FALSE on items that show as completed in the Achievements UI.

Three feature requests:

1. Add an alias "Hunter" for "Hunts" category
2. Add a field "Count" (or other suitable name) to the Achievement TLO for the total number of "groups" at the top level (i.e., Achievement.Count) to allow for iterating through the "groups"
3. Add a field "CurrentCount" to pAchievementComponentType giving the current number (if applicable) of items counted toward the required count

Side questions:

1. Is there a difference on pAchievementComponentType between Index and SequenceNum?
2. Will this be brought over to Next?

 

[rouneq]

Under what circumstances is the Type of pAchievementComponentType set for each of the values Unlock, Completion, Indirect, Display and None? I ask because I'd expect that while something like

<Call of the Forsaken>.<Collections>.<Hearing the Call>.<The Source of the Ethernere>

is completable, it's only done so indirectly.

I feel like this is a dumb question, but I am not sure what I am missing.
Is there a build for this plugin for MQNext?
Do I need to download it manually? I don't see the download button.

I thought maybe it was built in or something, but when I run this I get "NULL" Similar stuff was working before
/echo ${Achievement[Claws of Veeshan].Category[Quests]}
NULL

@Redbot @eqmule

 

[Knightly]

You’re not missing anything, it’s not in Next and the source for it is closed so that author has to do the conversion.

 

[freeferli]

@eqmule or anyone who knows would it be possible to get a build for mq2next, that we can download manually or through the launcher?
For those of us who do not care as much about the open source issues for this plugin.
