you're going to have to provide much more information than this.
can you please describe what the expected behavior is and what the actual behavior is?
do you have mq2nav with meshes?
do you have your group MA assigned in your group window?
have you adjusted your campradius so the mobs you intend to fight are inside your camp radius (red circle on your map).
I've been working with Rev02 (he's a RL friend) as he's not a very technical person. I've been botting one way or another for about 10 years. I'm not a developer, I have basic understanding of macro coding. I am very well acquinted with MQ2 and how it works, plugin requirements, etc.
MQ2Nav is on - downloaded all the meshes and placed them into the MQ2Nav folder inside the MQ2VV folder. Verified that RG installer is looking to the MQ2VV folder in settings. Verified that mq2nav works using the followme/cometo me buttons in the default RG UI.
Plugin: Mq2bst
Group has MA set and seen in the grp window
We have left all numeric settings on the left side set to default with the exception of autoassistat, this is now set to 100
Mode 1, Pause off expected behavior: when mob is pulled into camp, bst should engage from sitting position and debuff/dps the mob
Mode 1, Pause off actual behavior: when mob is pulled into camp, bst remains in the sitting position. Does not target mob in camp - even when mob is ontop of the bst. does not debuff. When the mob dies, the bst stands up for a brief second then sits back down.
Mode 0, Pause off actual behavior: when mob is brought into camp, if the mob is manually targetted and Melee Attack button is pressed, the plugin functions as expected.
Thanks,
Lugnut

it is going to be really difficult playing whack-a-mole with telephone information.
this behavior really sounds like what i already mentioned.
mesh issue, assist not being set, or campradius not large enough.
what class is his MA? MA's need to be in melee fighting range of the mob - is he trying to use a caster of some kind?
It's not telephone information I set up a zoom screen share session to see the behavior and set RG up.
MA is a paladin in our grp setting. I tested with my rogue as MA as well, same issue. I know MA is set in the grp, as I have mq2rogue running on my computer and the rogues engages as expected. I'll take another look at it tonight through zoom, uninstall/reinstall everything and see what happens.
I should add in that if I run the bst using KissAssist, everything works as expected.
Thanks

it is telephone if i ask rev a question and someone who is not rev answers it
@Rev02
can you take a look at your x-target window and ensure you have xtargets that are set to "auto"
you can right click on your X-target window and then select what that bar is set to
ahh I see and understand your point. However, I've played his BL through zoom and have first hand knowledge, but I get it. Trust me when I tell you he's not technical and is the primary reason we thought he should go with RG and the MQ2bst plugin as it's very user friendly and very well done.it is telephone if i ask rev a question and someone who is not rev answers it

Yes, all the X-targets are set to auto. I'm thinking there's a specific problem with the mq2bst.dll on his laptop. When I uninstall RG installer, would that remove any registry entries that might be lingering?
- Seller

we don't do anything with registry unless your windows or antivirus added some microsoft compat issues - in which case mq2bst wouldn't load.
its not an installed program either - its just a .dll that is run by mq2
I pm'd your friend.

Well - its pretty tough because of obviously the long recast - eventually you get AAs and extra spell gems and the group version of the spell which is a much faster recast (the single target version is as well later on).
In the meantime - I'm going to make us load it and keep it loaded in slot 6 if we have usemending turned off - this also means we will no longer memorize it to cast the buff because of the circumstances you brought up above. so if you want to use it and not be in byos - you will have to have usemending off.
Update: We got it working. Everything was set up correctly in EQ and the plugin. Checked X-targets and all were set to auto. However, the plugin posted a message that the Xtargets were set to MA/MT, when they were not. We uninstalled/reinstalled everquest and RG and huzzah! everything works as intended. EQ did not uninstall normally, so I surmise that somehow the EQ install was corrupted.
Thanks,
Lugnut

is anyone else having a problem with, when you un-mem a spell and your getting attacked if you switch from assist or any other mode to manual so you can take control the toon wants to sit and mem a spell repeatedly untill you die. Now i know the easy fix is to click the BYOS tab, but if people don't know that then they are going to die a lot lol. or maybe just a Note on the page to refer to this ? Just trying to help
- Seller

if you want to memorize your own spell either byos or pause the plugin.
its going to put its spells how it wants them to be otherwise.
if you have setup to CombatSummonPet its going to do your pet buffs and spell gems in that slot while in combat - that was the trade-off for people who wanted that to happen. if you don't want to summon your pet in combat, or replace those gems that get used for pet buffs - then turn off combatsummonpet

Is there a way to force UseBandoSwap to swap to 2HB for not just Vindication, but also casts of Composite Fury? Right now fury is a ton of dps and beastlords are losing out if they don't have a 2-hander out when that fires.
- Seller
- #741
nah, i would suggest turning off bandoswap and keeping your 2hander equipped if you wanted your 2hander equipped full time
I'm assuming its because of the big flurry chance? I'll look into if its something i want to change - have any more information that isn't "obvious"?
- Seller
- #743
yeah figured
i edited the post but just missed you.
I'm assuming its because of the flurry - or is there something else i might be missing about fury and wanting the 2h?

I use this plugin on Rizlona and my BST is constantly oom from spamming chloroplast on the group. I don't see a toggle for use regen, any other way to shut this down?
- Seller
- #748
yeah sounds like one of the early/middle spells that mq2 has funky stacking reporting - I would suggest blocking the spell on whomever it is getting chain cased on.
Question on settings. I have to heavily edit settings while in a raid so the bstie will only attack MA and not burn or buff unless I want too. I have noticed when I run very low on mana or end my bstie will sit and med while they should be DPSin. Same thing if I die he just wants to med. What do I need to tweak for him to just fight no matter mana/end?
- Seller
- #751
we absolutely don't just stop to med and sit down if you're fighting. are you sure you're not in manual mode? or have all of your xtargets blocked or something
you also can't edit your settings so you won't buff (or you go byos) unless you unload mq2cwtnbuffs - which you would end up loading back every time you loaded the plugin.
I unlick almost every thing in the list unless it is an attack ability. I normally have him set to assist. Unless he is my only toon in raid then he is in manual mode. Most the time he is in assist and if I die. I pretty much have to unload the pluging or he mainly just sits or tries to load buffs does not have the mana I guess and then loads back the combat spell over and over and over. So I unload and just auto attack. I use the zerker one too and he just attacks not matter what. If he dies and gets rezed he just umps right back in and fights. I am guessing since the bstie is a pet and buff class too it is trying to rebuff after death and not attack until rebuffed. Even if I have all that checked off.
- Seller
- #753
no, if you are in assist and you die and get rezzed - your main assist needs to give you a fresh target to assist - you don't insta b-line for the mob after a rez while combat is happening.
if you are in manual mode and you are fighting - you can and will target someone or yourself to para/focused para, and then you will chill because you no longer have a target to fight (since you're in manual mode).
if you have "combat summon pet" turned on you'll stop what you're doing and summon your pet and buff it and return your gems to what the plugin wants - but outside of that no - we don't do any memorizing or buffing (from memorizing and casting buffs) in combat at all.
Ya in manual mode I click off target about every 60 sec for focus para and I just retarget. That is why I like to stay in assist mode. I am guessing I need to turn off summon pet in combat. I was spoiled for years I had a custom bstie script made for me and I was able to have multi ini's. So if I was grouping I could load it up in group mode with all my settings. Then if I was in a raid could load the raid ini. I have just found it alot harder since I came back and trying to do the same again.

yes, your assist need to re-give them the target - they can just tap their escape button
of just have a button to call toons to attack - which as a boxer this is a handy button to have anyhow.
With the new patch, as soon as my beastlord logs in, he starts spamming memorizing Salve of Reshan, unmemming it and memming Minax's Mending....over and over. He will engage with the pull, but as soon as downtime happens, he continues the swapping of those two spells. I am on a TLP (ragefire) with max level of 85. I tried rebooting the computer and reloading the plugin and the same continues to occur.

what expansion is your server on?
are you missing spells? /bst missing because the only way that can happen is if you're missing the bite line - which you should have 3 version of the bite line by 85
(its obviously a bug that i will fix - but its only possible if you don't have Bite)
We are on Underfoot. I am missing a ton of spells, but this has never happened until this patch. I have been using the plugin on this character for months. Yes, I am missing Bite of the Empress (level 73), Bite of the Borrower (level 78) and Bite of the Vitrik (level 83).
- Seller
- #760
yes i know.
like i said it is a bug (that i made happen with this last update - big sorry about that) and i will fix it - but it only possible to happen (in your circumstance) because you are missing 15 levels of spells bite is good deeps - you should go and get it.
will be fixed in next build - already pushed the fix.
