you just do /<command> in the discord channel for any of your characters.
 
/tell etc doesnt work from discord but i think it has never worked.....what is required to send commands from discord to EQ?

[MQ2Discord] #*#

Makes it work I think. Tbh being able to respond to tells from my phone is one of the main reasons I use it :)
 
Correct, there's also no point in blocking [MQ2Discord], as far as i know it doesn't spam at all and is required for using Discord to send commands.
 
Bit of a feature request... I have mine set up to log looting, and it adds some kind of link info e.g. 000000000000000000055E4CD45Diamond when sending to Discord.

I was wondering... if that could be interpreted and made into Magelo links somehow? That would be most awesome! I'm pretty sure the same thing happens with item links in other channels too.

To do this, you'd simply cut off all the Digits prior to the first letter (all the hex related stuff that makes the link in game), then strip the item name down to a string, and parse it as "https://eq.magelo.com/items?q=<ITEM_NAME_STRING>". But I don't honestly see the usefulness in a feature like that.
 
I've updated the plugin, well more of a full rewrite really. It's attached, would encourage anyone who wants to use it to give it a go and give me feedback. Seems stable enough to me but I'm biased :)

Good new stuff:

* Multiple channels. You can have any number of channels, each with their own set of filters
* In addition to channels for a character, you can also configure global channels that all characters will join, as well as for a server, class, or a custom group
* Notifications. If you put a filter in the notify section instead allow, it will append @everyone to it
* Command responses. For a configurable amount of time after sending a command, all chat text will be send to the channel you issued the command on. So you can see if it worked or not.

Configuration is now yaml rather than json as it looks a bit nicer with the amount of nesting happening, no more worrying about matching braces. Sorry to those who finally got comfortable with json :p It should also give you a better output if something's wrong with it, i.e. tell you what line the error is on.

It's now a single file instead of one per character. An example will be generated on first run of the plugin. You will have to edit the file, I've removed the ingame commands as it's a bit too complicated to be worthwhile. Use /discord reload to reload it once you've made your changes.

Here's an example, this is what I'm using:

Code:

Absolute Legend!
 
Yaml is amazing. But you know what's really great about yaml? If you really want to write it in JSON you can because YAML is a superset of JSON.
 
I'm still getting the old MQ2Discord_server_character.json ini files
 
Omg, I just got json working and now I need to move to yaml... ok and I have no idea what that means... but i really appreciate the work that has gone into this!
 
Can anyone who's modified their .json file to allow tells, say, ooc, and maintain the ability to do commands (like respond to tells) share your file? I'm getting a TON of spam in my discord window.... it looks like it's essentially dumping everything from EQBC into discord, PLUS a some spammy MQ2DISCORD error messages.
 
Ohhh... or do people use a separate channel for each toon?
 
I got all the filters running well now...

Now my issue is I can't get any commands from discord to be recognized by the players in game.
 
Nevermind, after editing the .json files a bunch and doing a bunch of plugin unloading and loading, the damn plugin crashes me when I try to load it. awesome.
 
Anyone have any issues getting push notifications to their phone for channel messages? I see the channel has activity but was really hoping for an Android notification.
 
Do you have the channel set to notify on all messages? I think the default is push notifications only for mentions.
 
Which one is working? I am trying to use the one included with vanilla compile and plugin keeps crashing. Is the version linked in discussion working well?

mq2Discord in the VV compile works as I use it regularly on live.

Fixed my notification issues by resetting all notification settings in my discord channels and setting the Push Notification AFK timer down to two minutes.
 
I recieved the crash report. For the most part it seemed like some crash handler in the plugin was mostly on top of the stack. The first reference I get where it's not part of a crash handler is in Connect(std::string connectMsg) at line 47. after that it's all downhill.
1576626749317.png

C++: 
std::string channel = config["channel"].get<std::string>();

Being item on the stack at line 47 in the connect Function that appears to spiral everything downhill.

next thing prior on the stack points at an ending bracket. Which doesn't make sense to me.

1576627029724.png

But then again, a large portion of this particular plugin doesn't make sense to me.

There's not much error handling on a bad json file, in the one with VV. I'd start with making sure your config is good and proper. https://jsonlint.com/

I sent that crash report to ChatWithThisName and what's really strange is it worked fine yesterday with same json file. I use ultraedit to modify and it shows no errors in the file.
 
JSON value type doesn't match what is expected is what that error is telling you.

@wizman1 Check your config for the "channel" entry on the character that crashed.

I've checked the channel- appears correct- not sure what the issue is- I will mess around some more and see if I can figure it out.
 
Odd request, I think. One thing I love using MQ2Discord for is the simple stuff--like trying to sell stuff while in my living room. The problem is that I can't link items through discord. So instead, I've tried to work around it by using discord to issue the keyboard command to cycle to my last chat message and then send that, but I'm having trouble on the "send" part.

Example: I use discord to /keypress Shift+UP and then try to /keypress ENTER but instead of sending the stuff in my chat box, it just removes the blinking cursor from the chat line, leaving my string of text un-sent. If that makes sense. No matter how I have tried to spin it, I have never gotten MQ2 to send something that is typed into my chatbox unless it was a literal /say or /ooc command (but again, I can't link items doing that).

So is there a way around this? Maybe a "submit chat" command I'm not aware of?

If I'm not explaining it well (a habit) here's what I am trying to do. I am at my keyboard, physically, and I type "/4 WTS Prize: Visage of the Siren Enticer PST" with the item linked, and send that to the General channel. Now let's say 10 minutes later I am on my couch watching TV, and I want to send it again because I haven't had any takers. I want to use discord/MQ2 to cycle back to the last item I sent in chat and send it again, that way the item link is intact. Is that doable?
 
Does anyone still maintain this plugin? It has definitely been crashing me and my friends clients increasingly for the last 2 months. I have crash dumps that indicate it was the culprit but as far as fixing it I do not have the skills. If anyone is interested in the dumps for fixing I can provide.

This is one of the plugins that me and my friends use as far as ease of sharing controls over distance. EQBC has been ok, but has its own challenges.
 
Love mq2discord... I just started using it and everything was working perfectly.

Today, out of the blue, I'm getting an error that says, "error. youre being blocked from accessing our api temporarily due to exceeding our rate limits frequently...... blah blah "

I'm paraphrasing here, but has anyone experienced anything similar??
 
I've occasionally gotten rate limit messages. The default mq2discord options really need to be paired down. I've also noticed that if you don't provide an individual channel for each of your characters you're going to get rate limited a lot more. Doing these two things and waiting for the temporary ban to be limited should help you out.

Damn, Ok. So, make a specific channel for each character? Then trim down my allow filters on my non-driving toon channels?

Do you remember how long the ban lasts? I love this plugin
 
I think your process going forward is sound.

No clue how long the API ban lasts. I've usually gotten to temporary rate limiting and that's it.
