Release MQ2AutoLoot

I'm sure this questions has been answered before but I couldn't locate it via search.

Is there a way to set no-drop items to a specific character so the ML doesnt loot them. I'm currently camping a class specific item and it seems pretty ridiculously rare and when it does drop I dont want my SK to loot it via autoloot?

Make sure you add a line like this to the LOOT.INI file...

INI:
Aluminum Coil Spring=Gear|Classes|MAG|ENC|NumberToLoot|1|

You can also set the default action for new NODROP items that don't already have an entry to be "leave on corpse." That way, nothing is looted that you can't trade around later. The caveat to this, is that if you're not paying attention, items will be left on the corpse and rot if you don't attend to it.
 
Gear|Classes|MAG|ENC|NumberToLoot|1|
For Gear would you have to replace it with Augment like if its a no drop aug?

what I have tried in the past is to make the group in the order I want the loot to go to, this option seems far more practical :), ty for that

Should you put the rest of the classes in there in order, so that if mag and enc are done everyone else gets a shot?
 
Hey all,

I just updated and logged back in from the patch and I am having trouble with mq2autoloot. I targeted a vendor and /autoloot sell. It opened the vendor window and all my bags. The first item I have marked for sell popped up and the vendor offered me the plat. Usually it would sell and move on to the next item(s). Now, I have to manually click sell to move on to the next item. Is there a new function or setting I need to adjust since the update to MQ2?

thanks,

couple folks reporting this issue (and i can confirm it is an issue)

this isn't going to be something that you did wrong, or something that you will be able to fix. it is likely either an mq2 issue, or something that changed with mq2 that autoloot will need fixin
 
I was able to chase it down so far to if (pMerchantWnd->SellButton->IsVisible()) is failing

When you go to sell, it will go down the list of items marked to sell but doesn't actually sell the items from your bags, was working fine before I patched etc today.

Selling is currently broken, we're working on a fix.
In the interim, you can use /mac sellstuff for selling
 
SO, I have downloaded and updated to the latest Vanilla. Everything is working fine, however, I am wondering if /autoloot sell needs updated? It is opening the bags/merchant, and going to the item to sell, but it is NOT clicking the Sell button. I have to manually click it now after patch. Any help/feedback is always appreciated.

yes there was an issue with the merchant window information which was causing autoloot sell to not function. the mq2 devs have a fix they are testing and will hopefully be rolling out - then VV can rebuilt at some point and all is right again

Awesome, thank you so much. And I am sorry to be such a newb. I tried to post it in this forum, however there is no new post option? I am able to post replies, but for some reason, when I go into any of the Macro/Plugin pages, and then to the discussion page, there is no new option.
 
What is the point of the /setitem deposit tag? When I target personal banker and do /autoloot deposit, it doesn't put those items into the bank; it instead puts the items tagged /setitem keep.

If you look on the command tab up top you will see this
/SetItem Deposit -> Will loot. '/AutoLoot deposit' will put these items into your guild banker.

My problem is that /autoloot deposit is not putting the /setitem deposits in the the bank. It puts the /seitem keeps in the bank.

Yes, targeting personal banker and it does deposit the items I mark "keep". You can also tag items as "deposit" as well, by doing /setitem deposit. My question was what is the point of doing /setitem deposit. It doesn't deposit those items into the bank. It deposits only the items I mark "keep".
 
My master loot.ini file is approaching 5700 lines. I've been having some wonkiness where my Master Looter will loot dozens of items just fine, then hiccup on a single random drop and give it to another group member. This happens most frequently when a corpse drops multiple items. Then it will work fine for many dozens of items again. It's unusual in that when the Master Looter suddenly calculates to put an item up for random that only the Group Leader actually rolls on the item and none of the other characters in the team. (My Master Looter is not the group leader.)

<Edited: Note, my Master Looter has many available open bag slots!>

I've taken steps like ensuring that AdvLoot filters are deleted from all characters and the UseFilter option is turned off. I've done /autoloot reload on all characters. I've done /autoloot sort from the Master Looter. I have a reasonably fast Internet and computer and I'm using an SSD as my EQ and MQ2 drive. Is it possible the loot.ini file is just getting too big?

Here is a snippet from my Loot_log.log file that illustrates what I will see. The item in question is set to "Keep" in my loot.ini so that Master Looter should just go ahead and snag it. It's a tradeskill drop of which the Master Looter already has a stack in progress.

Thanks! I haven't tried that and will once I can get some characters actually logged in tonight!
 
I have tried using the gear loot command but it only seems to work on the Rog poison making items everything else is sent to the next person at the top of the group list. even when I set it for" =Gear|Classes|WAR|NumberToLoot|1000|, it still sends it to the char in the top of the group list.
 
Feature Request:
Add an additional option for no drop items to be left in the window to be manually handled if so chosen. If you are going into a new expansion and do not know the loot or on a TLP and you go into a new camp with out researching. Getting a nodrop item handed to the wrong toon can really suck. Also leaving it on the corpse could be lost in the battle spam / corpses.
 
I continue to see inconsistent loot behavior. As mentioned a few days ago I have attempted to ensure that the mq2autoloot plugin has complete control over my looting. Just now I had a gimp group set up in Sunderock Springs. I have the group leader also performing as Master Looter.

This Master Looter has multiple open bags and bag slots.

The group killed a mob that had 3 items to loot. The Master Looter should have given himself all 3 items as they were "Normal" and there was nothing special about them. However for some reason it left the 2nd item on the corpse....

INI:
[2020/09/20 11:45:52] Looter :: SList: looting Black Sapphire
[2020/09/20 11:45:52] Looter :: PList: looting Black Sapphire
[2020/09/20 11:45:52] Looter :: SList: looting Burnt Out Water Elemental Essence
[2020/09/20 11:45:52] Looter :: PList: leaving Burnt Out Water Elemental Essence
[2020/09/20 11:45:53] Looter :: SList: looting Versluierd Fungus
[2020/09/20 11:45:53] Looter :: PList: looting Versluierd Fungus

The Loot.ini file had:

Burnt Out Water Elemental Essence=Keep

That item is nothing special:

Capture2.JPG

and I already had 13 in a stack in one of his bags:

Capture3.JPG

and there was nothing in-game to explain the logic or decision why it was left on the corpse:

Capture.JPG

I'm stumped! Looting works normally about 98% of the time, but there continue to be these unexplainable hiccups.

-----------------------

Edited to add: Within minutes of posting this I watched a mob die with 2 items on it, both common. The Master Looter looted the first item but then gave the 2nd item to the 1st group member in the Group List. The 2nd item was a common gem, Amber, and there was no reason for the Master Looter to have passed on it. :(

Hey guys, got a question. I am messing around with a macro for running an instanced mission on a loop. At a certain point, it drops the mission, zones out, and gets it again. I am wondering if there a command I can put in the macro to tell it to send the loot that is still in the shared loot window to a specific toon, what the "Set all to:" button does on the in game advanced loot window.
 
I apologize if this has been asked previously, but is there a way to add a /collectible setting so each character only loots 1 of a collectible?
 
Thanks Smokeybear! I guess what I would like to see is the loot recognize a "not collected" and "collected" item tag.
 
@B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y have you cleared out your eq adv loot filters? That’s probably your issue. I just cleared mine and I wrote a guide a while back on transferring them.

Yes, I've done that several times, most recently just last week. I actually camp to desktop, then go into the Userdata folder and delete them all.
 
I'm having the same issue, Big Daddy. Are you getting the same item(s) being stuck in the loot window like I am?
 
AutoForage seems to be the culprit to my issues with looting. If I forage an item that happens to still be on my cursor when AutoLoot kicks in then it blocks one item that then never gets looted.
