Plugin - MQ2Bst 3.1.52471.11

[Sic]

Great stuff CTWN, thanks for getting back to me.... perhaps I should get on and role that warrior and unpack my aging paladin!

I had already PM'd you on discord.

I guess you might send your pet with a Hotkey. Maybe you could add Sic's manual Assist to that Hotkey:

Ass Me - Definitely not the best thought out button in the world, but i use this for some missions when using mode 0 to manually call toons to a target
Code:

/noparse /bcg //if (!${Me.Ducking}) /assist ${Group.MainTank}
/noparse /bcg //if (!${Me.Ducking}) /attack on
/noparse /bcg //if (!${Me.Ducking}) /nav target

U could ass add it as an addclicky.

It specifically doesn't auto use it because there is debate that it does or does not cause another proc/stun roll to not occur. The dps addition is very low at 115, and if it does cause proc and/or stun to get blocked it isn't worth it, imo.

But u could add it to offensive clicky

Thanks, appreciate the info =)

Trying to use Spider's Bite XIX but still acting weird ( chain casting it until i run out of them).
Tryed on other plugins, same thing.

 

[ChatWithThisName]

all of the plugins will act the same. I had believed this was addressed, it's possible the fix just isn't live yet.

 

[Sic]

It is fixed internally, will be live next live build. This was an issue with all the plugins, not bst. This issue actually fixes things like shitty mounts and other dbg fucked clickies as well - in the case of the shitty mounts - some of the bazaar clicky horses don't actually report that they, in fact, give a mount buff from their spell information, doing some additional checks as a final "catch all" to fix the poisons actually fixed the mount issue as well - so shouldn't have any more clickies that you're trying to get a buff from doing weird stuff *knock on wood / cross fingers* we figured out the fix back on 9/23 - just needed to test internally and then waiting on a new live build.

Bunch of other clicky type stuff coming with that update too - like addcures clicky

Question... why when my bst is not the main screen, and he is attacking the mob my sk is tanking.. he constantly walks forward backwards while dpsing? - what do i need to do to fix this? makes it pretty obvious im up to something in my opinion!

Are you using mq2eqwire or mq2fps ?

not sure what you're saying - he is running forward while dpsing?

Assuming you don't have followme stuck on, if you're having weird background follow/action issues - you might have your background fps set too low - you need at LEAST 30 background fps in the eq alt-o window... i recommend 60+

 

[william12]

Thats what it likely is for him. Either set the bgrenderrate for wire to 15 or mq2fps bg to 15 (i use 25) Any modern PC/GPU can handle that just fine.

if folks have their in-game background fps set to "min" they will end up skipping "doing work" as the fps cycle is where eq "does work"

 

[Sic]

in alt-O -> Display -> Advanced need max background fps set to something that's like 60+

 

[Sic]

this is the same cause of getting stuck in your spellbook

Q. I sometimes get stuck in my spell book?
A. This is often due to your background fps not being high enough. It is strongly advised to utilize at LEAST 30 fps for background, recommended 60+ background fps. The fps cycle for eq is where "work" is done. If your background fps is set to "min" you can and will have undesired results with all sorts of automation activities.
Alt-O -> Display -> Advanced - > Max Background FPS

 

[william12]

yep everyone should set it to 60-unlimited and let mq2fps or mq2eqwire limit the fps.

 

[Demonator]

yeah i just bought mq2eqwire to try fix it, basically when he's dpsing the mob he wont position, just inches forward then backward then forward, etc... but i just tried what u said with the FPS

 

[Demonator]

that FPS thing seemed to fix my issue, thank you guys.

background FPS setting, make it higher. if you're using mq2eqwire, you can make background fps set to unlimited and not lose frames from your main screen.

how do you update mq2bst i havent played in a couple months but for some reason wont load. Thanks!

 

[Sic]

mq2bst is one of the cwtn paid plugins - so if you have a license you would download it via your VV launcher - if you are on test server it is included and would auto-download when you update VV

 

[patherfinder08]

i could have sworn i had purchased it back when it first came out.

I'm not showing you have purchased any of my plugins. It's possible you were using it during the free beta.

 

[num1pkfutura]

@Sic, were you able to come up with a solution in reference to offering a combat rebuff or at least combat resummon pet feature? I know you said you were going to look into it but I am curious if anything came to fruition.

nope, not yet. like i said before its much more challenging than just moving 1 line to a different spot.

I've already said this a couple of times. when it gets added, it will be added and announced and in patch notes.

[Sic]

Need to continue testing, but so far does what i expect it to do - if everything works, will be in next live build (which is likely the 19th)

hi there, my bst runnning mq2bst is spamming 'focus of sanera' over and over again, as they are blocked by other buffs on my clr and mage. how do i make it know they dont need em?

there are still a few buffs that report stacking incorrectly in mq2/eq.

just /bst usefocus off to stop trying to use focus - or block the focus buffs on your clr/mage etc

 

[oz1]

ok thanks Sic

Hi guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. I got this plugin an the monk one, and have bandolier setup on both toons. but I never see either plugin do the "bandoswap" even if i have it set up like the video of Sic tells us to.

Can anyone tell me why neither my Monk and Bst swap to gain the extra attack ?
do i need to activate something other then clicking on the mq2bst window?

Q. What is BandoSwap?
A. BandoSwap will check your bandolier sets for a 1h or h2h set (or combo of those), and check if you have a 2h set (it goes top to bottom in the list, no need to name it specifically).
When you are outside of "Vindication" you will keep using your 1h/h2h set, but during Vindication you will swap to 2h set for those sweet extra melee hits.

When the plugin loads, it looks at your bandoliers and verifies that you have both A: a 2h bandolier set, and b: a 1h/h2h (any combination) set. if it does and you have UseBandoswap toggled it, during vindication you will swap to your 2-hand bandolier set, and outside of vindication, you will use your 1h set.





mq2monk I wouldn't bother with using the bandoswap - the AA that procs is broken - A: it doesn't proc nearly enough to be worth while, and B: it can proc on anything, not just 1 handers (which means you can leave your 2hander equipped full time). I mentioned this in the mq2monk overview video, but planned on leaving the functionality hoping that one day the AA would work as they intend it to and it would provide use.

 

[Tunguz]

thanks for the reply Sic. well noted.

 

[Sic]

Thank you for your answer.
does it work the same for monk?

yup - same deal. it checks for you having the relevant two different bandolier sets upon plugin load (which is either A: when you load the plugin while already in game, or B: load in game with the plugin set to load)

 

[Redbot]

I have loved mq2bst combat wise my only complaint is it won’t use my Visage of Queen Pyrilonis I have it on addclicky downtime I even blocked the damage shield it gives since it lasts longer than the illusion but still it won’t cast it, any idea a work around?

the addclicky stuff is across the full cwtn library - its not a mq2bst specific thing, and we would have to have the item to check - some items are fk'd under the hood and require special consideration. (like metamorph sporali wand is fk'd and not much we can do about it atm)

this item is a LoN hard to come by item isn't it? other similar items have no issue (edit: unless it is a benefit BLAH buff which doesn't stack with other stuff)

have you tried after this recent patch as we added some additional function checks to our add clickies.

What actually happens when you add it to downtime? chain casts or doesn't cast?

if it isn't casting it, then it likely means that it doesn't think it stacks, so its not going to cast it

without being able to get ahold of the specific item might be difficult to replicate

checking against other similar items like - I would double check your mount buff isn't blocking it. Some items have effects that trigger other effects - and if it looks like we can't stack the effect it says it casts, then we won't cast it for stacking purposes.

This buff for example - addclicky won't cast it if you have your modern mount buff up first because the paza won't overwrite your Kala (for example).

if you swap around the order that they are cast, they will cast
where the shittier thing goes first.





Now again - you're not going to try and cast the visage with the shitty paza OVER the kala mount - because they don't stack

not much of a work around that

Yeah she don’t even have a mount and I blocked the damage shield buff it gives since it was on a different timer was like this before patch figured maybe after it would work but still the same. Yeah it’s Lon item. I don’t mind if it’s messed up I just didn’t know some items were dumb but atleast I learned something I didn’t know about some items being different. Have also tried with and without buff as a test I’m not sure what else I could test it’s most likely just the lon item lol I will have to get other illusions and test it
