Just sharing. I've been having an issue sending messages and tells from discord. I made a new bot a few days ago, and found the following option in the Discord Developer Portal to default to OFF. Setting it to ON solved my issues.

I am trying to repurpose the TellsChannel section of the "All" category for General chat, with out luck. Is this supported?

It was a Discord permissions issue, resynced channel permissions to category fixed it.
 
Not really sure what is causing the error here. I haven't changed that section of the file since I first made it and the problem has only started after the latest MQ patch. here is the error message and the section of the config causing the error. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm sure this is a discord thing and not MQ2 thing but is there a way to stop the incessant spam of "Connected" by the bot every time I zone my toons?

Is this not something already handled by the config yaml file?

Notice line 27 for notify? []
You are missing this from your blocked section, its indicating that blocked is empty
So make blocked and notify sections look the same
 
Most of the configs in thread are old so I am sharing my config

This is what my personal server looks like
You can mute channels or do whatever to get notifications

If you dont have the Copy Channel ID thing in your discord you need to go enable developer mode in your client under Settings>Advanced

@alynel @Knightly could you add a config flag to not report disconnect messages or to specify a channel for GAMESTATE ?
gitlab.com

Cant filter disconnect messages because they tied to GAMESTATE (#3) · Issues · Alynel / MQ2Discord · GitLab

Unable to filter the client->enqueueAll("Disconnecting, no longer in game"); message. This occurs on zone very often and spams multiple channels Would be nice to...
gitlab.com gitlab.com
C++: 
PLUGIN_API void SetGameState(int GameState)
{
    if (GameState == GAMESTATE_INGAME)
    {
        Reload();
    }
    else
    {
        if (client)
        {
            client->enqueueAll("Disconnecting, no longer in game");
            client.reset();
        }
    }
}

Was messing around with this and got it to work fairly well, but I notice the Discord bot in my Discord will frequently show the "xxx user is typing" indicator, even when no matched messages are pending. Not a huge deal, but is there any way to disable this behavior? Or is this a config on the Discord bot side of it?

Edit: nvm, I see this is a keep alive thing.

LamahHerder, random question but in the snippet below from your config, what exactly does "Specific toons watching global chat" and the line under "characters" mean? Should they be the same? Like, should it be "name: foromoro" and "characters: server_foromoro" ?? I'm sure it's very simple but the usage of both "toons" and "characters" is throwing me off

C++: 
groups:
  - name: Specific toons watching global chat
    characters:
      - vox_Tankname # 1 toon per line, can add multiple lines/toons as server_Name
    channels:
      - name: Alerts
 
Nvm I think I understand. The group you have created in there is actually called "Specific toons watching global chat" and from there you have individual toons laid out doing the listening you want them to do, right??
 
Just putting down a template that make it easier to maintain your allowed and blocked sections in one place versus in each toon section. All you have to do is add to the Allowed section or blocked section and than each of your channels reference it as you can see in the code below. Just need to put in your discord channel information.

I couldn't get that to work. I would get an error message that "the referenced anchor is not defined: allowed"
 
Can confirm same thing "Failed to send message to:" doesn't seem to be taking commands either. Was working fine until recently.
 
Also having issues, and more frustratingly, it’s arguing about being unloaded and refusing saying files are still loaded. Have to adjust the ini to stop it loading up.
 
If I recall correctly, EQLogParser has the ability to push text to Discord.
You won't get all the features of this plugin, so it all depends on what/how you use it. You cannot send commands back to the EQ client.

I ended disabling it from loading in the MacroQuest.ini until the devs get time to look at it.

unfortunately im not sure if @alynel is active or maintaining this. I think the only change that brain made was to make it cpp20 and toolset v143

Sorry I did not get back sooner but I had missed one vital piece and I have added it in so it works.... after Allowed: at the top is should look like allowed: &allowed_chat and also than blocked: &blocked_chat. I have corrected the template also. Thank you for pointing that out.

and yes it did break I have been looking into the code some just to see what might be able to be done to update it since it is very outdated. Hoping some re-vamping could help. I love this plugin.
 
Re: this worked through this problem today.

Summary:
- Fixed C++20 compile error — added explicit string cast for Snowflake comparison on line 246
- Added WinHTTP-based SendMessage() function that bypasses libcurl (which is broken inside EQ due to Winsock hook conflict)
- Replaced client.sendMessage() with WinHttpDiscord::SendMessage() for outgoing messages
- Removed sendTyping/updateStatus keepalive calls (also used broken libcurl)

there may be a cleaner solution but this worked.

https://gitlab.com/mmdab86/mq2discord/-/tree/c20-fix?ref_type=heads until someone can do this proper
 
I threw it into a diff viewer. Replacing curl with something else would work but a lot of the assumptions your ai bot made are pretty obviously incorrect (there are no curl/winsock hooks for example) -- i would expect this to do some dangerous/unexpected things if you tried to unload the plugin.

I think theres some sort of issue with https in the curl library. i heard @Knightly is going to look into it!
