MQ2Enchanter

Plugin - MQ2Enchanter (3 Viewers) 3.1.52471.11

Raid tonight. Had a situation where 95% of "casting" was continuously interrupted. Next version. RaidMode on. Vorpal mode. RaidAssist set. No macros running. No difference than any other raiding night. I'm...confused.

turn off interruptthenmez.

/enc InterruptForMez true/false/on/off/0/1 - Interrupts non-mez spells if it needs to cast mez.


I mentioned I was going to take a look at it, and i did, so the issue *should* go away next update.

its current form would be like "do i have a mob that i need to mez, then interrupt anything" and not "do i have a mob that i need to mez AND can/able to mez it, then interrupt before mezzing" - so it got a little goofy sometimes.

oh and you said next --- we'll its already live on next, but you're out-of-date.
 
Got it. Thanks.
yup, nothing you did wrong or anything, just a function that needed some massaging

and it *shouldn't* do that anymore, if it does just turn it off to stop the dumb, and then hollar in the thread there's still an issue ---- but *should* be good

Redbot updated MQ2Enchanter with a new update entry:

9/14/2021

- Added additional haste value checking for usage of haste.
- Added "Mindcleave", "Mindscythe", and "Mindblade" to the "synergy" spell group
-- you don't get synergy until mindsunder, so the group name is a bit of a misnomer :)
- Added fixes for tanking or huntertanking - y u do dis on enchanter :(
- Added Doppelganger AA usage during burns.
-- This is defaulted to OFF because it shadowsteps your toon when it uses it.
--- turn this on at your...

Read the rest of this update entry...
 
I noticed many times my enchanter, when two mobs are in camp, will continually switch between the two mobs and never cast anything. What do I have checked that i shouldn't? no mez, charm, nuke, dot, nothing until one is dead.

it should only swap away from your MA to *do something* and then once it is done, it would swap back outside of checking if a mob needs to be tashed.

I would check if turning off tashthenmez stops it as that is the only thing that targets something different without doing something
 
I have checked it off and will test. I have also noticed he gets stuck in the spellbook often. Right now, he's just sitting there with his spellbook open, one spell slot is not memmed, but he isn't memming anything. In manual mode atm. just seems sort of buggy since the patch.

been here for minutes now. I manually nudged him, he casted Night's Dark Terror, then memmed Voice of Quelliouis and is working like normal again (until he gets stuck again)

you probably have you max background fps set to "min". don't do that.

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
You will also need to check if you are using any external background fps limiting software - like isboxer - and adjust that accordingly.
 
where is that setting?
I provided that information in the previous post from the FAQ

It is an everquest setting in your alt-o window

>>> Alt-O -> Display -> Advanced - > Max Background FPS <<<
 
I set it to 25, we will see how that goes, thank you
i would strongly advise against anything lower than 30, and highly recommend 60.

if you have having pc performance issues you should consider checking out mq next with the built in frame-limiter and you can have everyone rock at 60 and have super lower performance impact. the eq "frames" is the game cycle where "work" is done. you're kind of telling them "be lazy and don't do any work". this will definitely impact your boxes ability to do things in the background.

1631837423075.png
 
I've never had PC performance issues, and i have a very high end rig. This issue just popped up since the patch, never before, and seems to be on most my CWTN toons that have a spellbook. I'll monitor and see what happens.

edit - i box 36 toons, right now i only have 6 on when it got stuck. and, i've seen it get stuck while having the toon in the foreground. i'ts like they get confused and just give up.

it doesn't matter if you are using a nasa computer, if you tell your toons to "not do anything in the background" you can run into issues with "not doing stuff in the background" that is why it is in the FAQ specifically for the spell book.

as i mentioned, the frames cycle is where "work is done" so if you tell it "do as little work as possible" it is going to "do as little work as possible". which can end up resulting in less than ideal movement like navigation or afollow, or spellbook issues, or just slugging response to things.

this is a common problem people have which result in issues with all sorts of things happening in the background regardless of which macro/plugin/automation you're using for your characters.


Here are several other threads over time where folks had similar things
 
Not deying that, I'm simply saying stuff started happening since patch, that's all nothing more. I'll do what you are suggesting and monitor. I have no reason to set to min, it was just set to that.
 
as a caveat to the above, you mentioning it happening in the foreground means I'm also inclined to suggest you ensure it is set to match sic's recommendation for the background as it would act the same below the values mentioned.

I run back ground in 120.. it does hang up in spell book.. it acts odd on follows.. generally its flaky (as ive asked 4 other users).. it does the job great, routines are on top.. just have to tab over and make sure its not f-ing off before you hit anything serious.

I use it on group, a oops is ok. On bot managed raids, its not meant for that so paused.

well brainiac recently found that even with unlimited frames, eq still sometimes sleeps the game client and i believe he says he has a fix for that with next, so hopefully that goes away.

also ensure you're not having a system resource allocation issue and have all your cpu affinities in your eqclient.ini set to =-1 you could have your frames set to infinity, but if they don't have any powah to do it, they can't/wont
 
My enc is stuck in a loop, chain casting Mana Reverberation Aura.
Seemingly it doesn't matter which aura I have selected, he just NEEDS mana reverb regardless... he loves it... as soon as the mob dies he goes at it... over and over... he definitely has issues.
I'm on Zek, so I've punched him a few times to try and get him to stop, but he's not taking any notice, I think he's OD'd on it now and his brain is fried! He wasn't the smartest to begin with, but now... he's on a whole new level.
Any advice, please?

show me your settings where you don't have mana reverberation aura selected, and your mq2enchanter window is casting mana reverberation aura

showing your eq casting window doesn't help much outside of showing timestamp.

I need to see that mq2enchanter is casting it, and that you somehow you don't have the aura chosen.

because it sounds like you have a macro running.

also - your toon might have some brain dmg by all this negan'ing upside the head - poor enchanter is just doing their best

Hi Mr Sic,
You're probably right, I've been too hard on him, poor guy... I'll stop slapping him about, it's probably not completely his fault!

Is this ok? Please forgive my noobness!

Cheers for the help!

you have spell focus aura and combat innate aura --- your combat innate aura is the aura that you're trying to cast - that you said you didn't have.

since we now know that you're saying you want to cast it. we now need to either a: pick a different aura, or b: determine why it isn't landing - you would check your red eq error messages and check that you don't have an error - or why it thinks it is missing.

in the mean time you should turn off "please cast this aura" and then it won't cast it :)


looks like the issue is because the spell doesn't cast the spell it says it does, so we click it off.

this shouldn't be called this.

1632079272313.png

anyhow, know we know that you *are* telling it to cast this aura, swap what auras you're using, untill we address this eq issue

Ok, so played about with the aura's - i think when Combat Innate Aura is selected, the plugin is trying to cast Mana Reverb... it even shows it as Mana Reverb in the output:

So, as long as I don't select Combat Innate Aura, all is good:

Thanks Sic.
The names are confusing me :)

nah, it is because it doesn't cast what it says it does like i mentioned.

I appreciate the assist, but unless i need more info it just adds works to address something that i already said was the cause of it and then respond and chase that.

a few looks a bit weird
Runic Radiating Aura is "Runic Rad. Aura"
1632096541893.png

I dunno if these changed or just no one has noticed, but i'll go through every aura and check for any weirdness.

unfortunately spell data doesn't say it casts "runic rad. aura" heh so i'll need to go through them all
 
Hi there. This is my first cwtn plugin and I've been watching videos and reading posts forever to try to figure it all out but I still have 2 questions I'm hoping are simple answers.

1) Is there a way to turn pet off completely? I like to off night raid on this character on Rizlona TLP and I don't want to charm, but I also don't want to deal with the gimpy enc pet because it has no pet hold yet on that tlp.
2) Is there a detrimental version of addclickie that's not buff related? I would really like to be able to slow with my Serpent of Vindication because its faster and has no recast / mana cost. This will be useful on TLP for at least a year. I'd also love to be able to dispel with my Wand of the Vortex. I just wasn't sure if these things were supported yet.

Thank you. It seems like a lovely plugin and I appreciate all the hard work.

howdy NJAS

1. you could just not have any pet components on your person with use charm turned off. then you couldn't summon a pet.

2. There is not for either of those things

Hi, NJAS. If you add the Serpent of Vindication to your offense clicky and set your enchanter to melee (and turn off UseSlow), they will use it to slow the MA's target. Probably not what you want to do on raids though. I have it hot-keyed to use it on raids, and I have my enchanter melee with it when not raiding.

Maybe in addition to MQ2Enchanter you could run the Kissassist macro during your raids (only using the DPS section of the .ini) with your wand of the vortex and serpent of vindication along with some conditions? I don't know if that works, but I know you can run a macro at the same time as your plugin. Might be worth a shot.

on the serpent - keep in mind it isn't going to check for the debuff on the mob vs the spell from the clicky. it going to use that item if YOU are missing the buff from the item. Which is why i said "There is not for either of those things ".

CWTN AddClicky Information
Downtime - when we're downtime (not fighting, not invis), and we are missing the buff from the item.
Defensive - when you are the target of the target you are fighting, and we are missing the buff from the item.
Offensive - when you are fighting, and we are missing the buff from the item.


Please be careful suggesting people to run additional automation suites on top of existing automation, they can and will have conflicting behavior, then it becomes impossible for anyone to help.

the best bet, would be to use mq2react to use the items. using kiss is probably not the answer.

hola,

it seems like the plugin doesnt mem the lvl 65 aoe mez "Bliss of the Nihil".

Would be cool if you could add this. Atm my chanter only uses single target mez "Bliss".

On TLP this is.

going to check if there was a reason that chat didn't put in some of the TargetRingAEMez, I don't see a note, but there might be a reason. if no reason i'll add the missing ones

oh, because bliss of the nihil isn't a target ring AE, it is just a target AE mez

Mesmerization is in that group, but i have a feeling the rest were left out on purpose until we get to Stare for TargetRingAEMez. We use the PBAEMez stuff, which has a huge gap in the middle from lvl 30 to lvl 62 with no new spell. - but i'll get with chat about it and take a look.

We try and avoid using the non free-target ring mezzes so you don't mez yourself. but will look into it - if its something we're gonna use, i'll add it.

thanks for the msg

you should also be using your lvl 63 Word of Morell PBAEMez - are you missing that or otherwise not memorizing it?
Word of Morell is obviously shorter duration and whatnot, but just curious

ok yeah, so just missing some stuff in the middle there krause, i'll add em in
 
Just logged in this morning after running updates from VV launcher for Next and my enchanter is now memorizing Fascination (only mezzes mobs up to level 55) instead of Word of Morell.
 
k, will likely need to add a level compare to decide - will look into it.
