Recompiled it for today's patch. Whenever core offsets change it needs recompiled. If they stay the same, it would work through a patch.
 
Saw you had a necro post so I wanted to give it a shot. Not bad! My only gripe seems to be that it seems to suck up frame rate for no reason, is there something I can play with that possibly would help with this?

I was running 12 instances with it yesterday with no lag, so I cant say for certain what would be causing it for you. The only class that should lag any more than the others is mage because it does a ton of inventory checks for modrods, clicky nukes, etc. The easiest way to reduce system stress within the plugin is to change your CycleDelay=3 to something a little higher, like CycleDelay=10. What that means is that once every 10 pulses, it actually checks the plugin. My base pulse is like ~30 times a second, so even once every 10 is usually a couple times per second.

[MQ2Bot]
CycleDelay=3

And since I was replying anyway, posted latest version:

20140715
-Fix pet heal crash
-Ether-Fused Shard should stop trying to cast if out of charges
-Disabled detection of all the punch in the throat line for zerkers, uses cry line instead
-Savage Spirit and Untamed Rage should now only attempt if not using a disc already.

20140718
-Added corpse check immediately before /targeting mobs to kill so that it would have to be checked almost exactly as you /target in order to accidentally target a mob corpse
-Changed: only activated AA should get added in the AAIfX section.

20140719
-Added Bot.Zoning to let you know if you are zoning
-Added Bot.Instance to let you know if you are in a zone
 
Nice! that seems to be working pretty well actually. I blame part of it on running with max spells and everything!
Thanks a ton Pete really good set up.
 
I have to say I'm impressed with your work. It runs very quick being a plugin.
I've run it on a bst and chanter so far. Neither requiring any setup to get going and minimal tweaks to tune.
I'd love to get my hands on the full version and see what all this will do.
If you ever want to get setup on another server hit me up.
Redcented!
 
20140729
-Added /bot pause

20140730
-Added SelfBuffIfX if statements

20140801
- Spells now display Target.Name rather than Target.DisplayName so you know what each toon is actually casting on.
- Scintillating beam is now a mez.
- AAs should now use the AssistAt % before using any AAs.


Side note: I am deployed and am at the mercy of the network here, which is apparently blocking EQ. I can get to char select but when I try to log into the game it disconnects me. I can VPN in sometimes and get sub 1000 pings, but usually it is over 5k so my updates will likely be fewer and farther in between since I cant really log into game and have it be playable.

Updated for today's patch. Let me know if there are any issues.

Known issues:
Mobs that don't leave a corpse will CTD you upon their death. No ETA on a fix, for now if you are doing any quests that involve these types of mobs, you have to temporarily pause the bot before it dies.
 
not 100% sure the caus atm, brought my bard out for a bit and did /bot on, works just fine buffing but always seems to crash when he goes to assist. i will do some testing see if i can see whats causing it
 
I put a little 3 character team together and ran it with Pete's MQ2Bot. They hit lvl 30 in just a few hours. I hand guided the tank/leader through the initial quests in Gloomingdeep. Then, after completing all of the Gloomingdeep quests, I went AFK and turned them lose on the undead at the farm in Crescent Reach. Next, I moved them across the last bridge at about level 20, and left them AFK. They went from 20 to 25 in a little less than an hour just clearing out all of the undead near the cave past the farm. Then, I took them to the wolves in Blightfire Moors and finally the bees to hit level 30.

This is the simplest form of Everquest macros that I have used thus far. The only set up required was to download the software and enter my ID/PW. Once in the game, it took two commands to get this bot going. I typed "/input mq2bot" then I typed "/bot on" and it went to work.

Great job, Pete!

Recompiled .dll for latest patch in case it was causing crashes with new version.

Build 8/21/2014 12:37:20 PM.
 
First, I really like this program and have used it a lot. But, since the last patch, my rogue using MQ2Bot is spamming /timeplayed

I noticed that my rogue was not positioning properly, so I have been manually positioning him behind the mobs for the last two days. I did not pay attention to the chat channels at first because I was in a hurry. However, I noticed today that he is spamming /timeplayed when he is supposed to be repositioning himself. The secondary chat window continually rolls the date he was started and the actual played time on the character over and over while he is in combat.

I am running 6 different characters at the same time, and he is the only one doing this.

Removed mq2advpath command /play off. your issue was because you didnt have that plugin loaded and eq recognized /play as /played. Updated first post.

Also, posting 5 diff threads on 2 diff boards and sending 4 PMs is excessive (I might be exaggerating a little, but not by much!). I read them when i get a chance. I work 12-13 hours a day 6-7 days a week right now because im deployed. I will respond when I get the chance.. which might not be in a timely manner.
 
I apologize for posting in two different places. I really was not trying to hurry you. I was simply not sure which one to use so I used them both. It's just a game, and your service to our country is very important to me. Thank you for serving in our military!

No worries, comrade! We will make much success with /played issue! Once we quell these Ukranian dogs and deliver a crushing blow to the socialist armies of the west, I will return home and remove all bugs! For Mother Russia! This reminds me of joke good friend Ivan tells me!

Ivan: "When final phase of socialism, namely communism, is built, will there still be thefts and pilfering?"

I say: "No, because everything already pilfered during socialism."

This good joke. I like.
 
not sure why but sense the august 20 th patch, my mage does not auto send in his pet, i have all my plugins loaded that i normally did so i am not sure whats going on, i have been having to send a manual command to have him send the pet in. i have checked the ini and all pet options seem correct. also the bard still crashes one he is supose to go into combat, i am not sure why this is, i can /bot on and he does what he should starts to twist and what not, but the second i pull a mob with my puller and bring to camp, he crashes out. i have been unable to figure out what might be causing the crash but it only happens to him and i have 11 lvl 100's

- - - Updated - - -

also, is there a way for lets say i have 2 groups, for me to have the second group auto assist my first groups warrior. right now my main group assist group tanks target using xtarget slot 1 and works perfectly, but i am un sure how to get the second group to assist first groups tanks target without setting someone in second group as main tank and having that one person manually assist first group, then have everyone else in second group auto assist second groups main tank. umm lol hope some of that makes sense. just someone let me know of a more automated way for that if there is one
 
Running MQ2Bot on a few different accounts today, same setup on several classes and same zone just different servers:

WARRIOR, DRUID, and RANGER doing fine.

Running on my paid warrior(96) and monk(99) account there is no issues....But as soon as i run in on my F2P shaman(93), he crashes instantly everytime i run it.
 
I ran 4 pet classes plus a dru and wiz. Everyone crashed together but the dru and the wiz. All of the pet classes (including the SK) had the same ending to their log files. Each one crashed while attacking "A GIANT SPIDER'S CORPSE0"
Enchanter - [2014/09/11 00:24:10] Pet Attacking --> a_giant_spider's_corpse0
Enchanter - [2014/09/11 00:24:10] EXP: 0.00 (18.79%) - AAXP: 0.00 (0.00%)
Enchanter - [2014/09/11 00:24:10] Pet Attacking --> a_giant_spider's_corpse0
Enchanter - [2014/09/11 00:24:10] Pet Attacking --> a_giant_spider's_corpse0
Enchanter - [2014/09/11 00:24:10] Pet Attacking --> a_giant_spider's_corpse0
Enchanter - [2014/09/11 00:24:10] Pet Attacking --> a_giant_spider's_corpse0
Enchanter - [2014/09/11 00:24:11] Pet Attacking --> a_giant_spider's_corpse0

The Dru and the Wiz finished off the rest of the adds and never crashed. For the last two weeks I have been using MQ2Bot running around HoT with all non pet classes and had great success with this bot. I understand that this plugin has only been around for a couple of months and Pete (the owner) is currently deployed in military service. I'm sure these pet issues will eventually get worked out.

BTW, one more thing, if you do not create a log file then you will never know if your pet is attacking a nonexistent corpse. You will be left guessing, like I was. I had to apologize to Pete for causing him grief over this issue when I should have sent him a log file. I thought it was crashing when my healer healed the pets because that was all I saw on the screen. I had to produce a log file to find out about the nonexistent corpses that my pets were attacking.
 
Updated to latest compile. Also temporarily turned on full access for all so that i can narrow down issues.

I have 15 various 85 Heroic toons I wanted to get epic 1.0 on them all so this bot will fit the bill as almost every epic requires some form of mindless slaughter at some point and I have stumbled on a way to make over 100k a day and I think this bot may help me up that to 200k a day.....

oh sorry it took so long, I have 3 places that all give great plat! grounds trash to barter and AH, ANY of the old world zones especially the planes where I can just farm tradeskills, and my favorite is my special spot in beasts for plat and gear....
 
Oh thank you for the update. I hope he is doing well and is safe.
 
I will be using this tonight with my box team.. hoping to burn an 8 hour XP session, and see how I can leverage this plugin.
 
While it's not getting updated is the plugin still functional?
I have a friend who is presumably using this in his omnipresent grounds up, and I just need it for some simple enchanting.
I had tried it a while back but it just crashed my client
I'm only now getting around to trying it in earnest and I can't even progress past /plugin mq2bot /bot on
it just immediately crashes that window. I've searched through the various wiki's and posts on this site, macroquest:vip, etc. and still haven't found anyone having this problem.
I loaded all other plugins i could possibly use, save for the ones specific to mmobugs, and it still seems intent on not loading.

anyone have some idea as to what needs to get looked at or changed?
 
The plugin needs to be recompiled with the new compiles when they come out most likely. As far as I know, the source isn't included in the vanilla compile, and Pete was uploading recompiled versions. There likely won't be any updates until Pete is back from deployment.

Ah i figured since this was an issue i had been having from a while back and the fact I figured someone was currently using it, that it was something on my side.
 
the author has been deployed for the last few months and has not been able to update it.
