MQ2Eskay

Plugin - MQ2Eskay (23 Viewers) 3.1.52471.11

the for power line not only becomes instant cast with AA, but hate continues to tic with moar hate plus gives AC, since you're pulling, makes perfect sense - against undead it even slows them lowers dual wield % and debuffs

it doesn't have the same hate override that terror line does, which means that it may be capped at the amount of initial aggro the +threat portion gives, but the overall benefits to what it gives, we feel, outweigh it with the threat overtime and the +ac, and the potential to slow
Thank you. I can definitely get with that.

With that logic, though - why would it third after Torrent or the Bite DoT?
 
My SK won't cast Insidious unless it is set as group main tank. Is this working as intended?

I'm attempting to get it to cast while set as main assist but not set as main tank.

I'll post an SS of my plugin window showing my settings.

correct. insidious is aoe threat (and damage), so we only use it when tanking (so assigned group main tank or in a tanking mode)

If you have already checked the RG Launcher Plugin Tab then read the following:
- The RG Launcher is unable to *delete* old files.
-- This means you will get an error box if you don't have a current plugin that matches the mq build
-- your options are:
--- a: purchase a license
--- b: delete the old .dll in your plugin folder, and/or
--- c: change your macroquest.ini to MQ2PluginName=0 under [Plugins]
 
I actually just ran into this last night. Ended up just shutting down MQ, reinstalling from the launcher and everything was fine after that.
yes, it will happen when you're out of date and don't have a matching .dll to match the mq build.

Thanks Sic. guess it was a VV patch i missed.
 
Just purchased. Game changer! Finally I don't suck at tanking. I do have a couple problems.

1st - when I choose PullerTank option he just goes and sits down.

2nd - how to I set a new camp. I moved from EW to GD and when I chose Tank option he started running back to EW, I'm guessing to the first camp. I just unloaded the plugin and loaded it again but I'm assuming it's easier then this?

Short answers are
1st - Probably check your pullradius and zradius
2nd - You shouldn't be moving around with a camp mode. Change to manual mode or chase mode to move around. then once you're where you want to be, go back into the mode that uses a camp.

But definitely click that link in my previous post. It'll help you a ton with getting started.

So manual mode will reset the camp on its own? And allow me to move my team. I switch back to the other modes and it will re-establish the camp?

So what CWTN is saying is
A) whenever you set up a camp and go into pullertank mode you have to go into the pull settings and set your pullradius before you begin pulling
B) to change camps change to manual mode or chase mode to move to your new camp then swap back in PullerTank mode to set your new camp.

this is done EVERY time you want to move camps
 
In your MQ2Eskay GUI there's an info tab that covers nearly all of this. Also it would probably be beneficial to look at Sic's Hotkeys as there's a plethora of info there.

Q: I can't get pulling to work / don't understand the modes?
A: Check out the MQ2War video >> << where we explain the tanking modes.
 
Hello hello,

I can't keep my SKs in the game since the latest update. Here's a crash message, I think it's related to the plugin. I haven't changed anything since the last time I logged in. Let me know if there's any other info I should add.

Well, I see no crash message. So there is a lot you could add.
But I would start by unloading MQ2Eskay and seeing if that makes it stop crashing. If not, then it's going to be unrelated to the plugin.
When you get a crash you can press CTRL+C to copy what is in the crash window. Then you can share that information using CTRL+V as that will paste it into whatever input box you're in.

Thanks, it seems to have resolved after a PC restart.
 
Hi everyone, I am trying to get mq2eskay to work, I downloaded the file, extracted it. It is in my users/public/mq2/plugins folder. It is in my plugins on my redguides launcher. but I still get this error message when I try to load it. Ant thoughts

You're on version 2174 of macroquest but version 2250 of the plugin.

Also, don't download and extract. Just download it using the launcher. The launcher will extract it and put it where it goes.

To recap: Update macroquest and the plugins at the same time anytime you want to update. This will avoid an issue where you're using two different versions and get the error.

Also, I deleted your screenshot. Please be sure not to include your character names and server information when requesting assistance.

Some final thoughts.
Your MQ output is going to your main eq chat window because you have mq2chat loaded, if you want to text output of mq to stop going there, you should /plugin mq2chat unload
There is a number for computr support (yes spelled like that) in your taskbar next to the weather, that's a scammer phone number (You can google the phone number and get the same results I did in theory), you may want to run a virus scan on your system.

Within the context of CWTN, no. I use the outassist Lua for my out of group CWTN melee dps. Put them in manual, vorpal, or assist mode. It’s not supported by Sic or CWTN so don’t ask them for help, but it works well enough.

I think there’s a sticky on this somewhere as well, but I’m not gonna try and find it on a mobile device. Others have suggest using KA with a basically blank ini.

Edit: here’s the thread: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/out-of-group-assisting-w-cwtn-plugins.73151/
 
Im trying to tank and not damage a mob. I have a stein in one hand and a shield in the other. How do I disable shield bash with CWTN plugin? I didn't see a command for that.

Bash is an /autoskill not Mq2Eskay. I was messing with mine and I can't seem to find a way to turn it off. You have options if you're just casting agro spells. Stein/Fire Beetle eye in both hands. You can turn your back to the mob or duck also. If these are mobs that are doing enough damage to warrant a shield hopefully someone will chime in with a better idea.

Yeh its enough damage that I warrant a shield as I cant be damaging and life tapping to keep myself healed.
 
if you don't want the plugin to do things, I recommend pausing the plugin.
Thats what I ultimately ended up doing. Was wanting to leave it in combat so it would cast the hate generating spells, but I just just ended up pausing in the end. Wasnt sure if there was just a simple way of disabling the shield bash ability.
 
having issues with mq2eskay only started since last patch not todays. so scenario i got to zone set team up set sk on puller tank everything works great. i decide to move camp so i set sk to manual move camp and start puller tank again,,he runs off back to first camp to start pulling again,ive tried diff options like setting to sic tank on camp move and ive tried pausing the program this is also happening on the necro version also.

You need to set a new camp before going to puller tank again.

manual deletes your camp.

you need to not have a camp before unpausing / swapping modes - if you're in sictank mode and then hit pullertank/huntertank, you will use your camp you already set.

going into manual mode destroys your camp. so either to manual first (you said you didn't but for sure you didn't) or use resetcamp before going into a pulling mode

thats just it manual is not deleting my camp
so when i set up new camp puller /tank/assists are all training half the zone back to the old camp

i am doing so. i go to manual run to new camp, set puller tank assist and they all get up and bugger off, ive tried doing it different ways with same results sometimes i have to log in and out to get it to work,previous to last patch it was all working as intened

Have had this happened serveral times. Not easily reproducible but happens on occasion. Can’t really tell what the root cause is but hitting manual and camp 2x will set you up with the new camp spot when it does happen.

I was just out running 5 SK based groups last night (necro with 2 groups), we moved camp fine. are you sure you dont have another automation (or action, IE /afollow) messing with you?
 
ill try the rest camp option but yess manual camp x2 does work but by then if its close combat confined area your screwed
