Release MQ2GMCheck

[AnonymousHero]

I am planning on using the TLO's it provides for my CheckGMs subroutine and I was inquiring about behavior since it doesnt seem to list details.

${GMCheck} - I would assume this returns a TRUE if any GMs are online and not stealthed? Like if you typed /who all GM. I think I noticed this thing reporting positives to my MQ2 Window when GMs were online but not hiding.
${GMCheck.Status} - Is this to check if the plugin is on? or is this a copy of ${GMCheck}?
${GMCheck.Count} - I would assume by documentation this is the same as ${SpawnCount[GM]}

 

[Maskoi]

${GMCheck.Status} = ${GMCheck} same thing = if gm checking is On/Off//Disabled
${GMCheck.Count} = number of GM's in the zone

MQ2GMCheck - This plugin checks to see if a GM is in the zone so you can say hello or hopefully attend their event. This is not fool proof. It is absolutely true that a GM could be right in front of you and you'd never know it. This plugin will simply find those who are in the zone and not gm-invis, or who just came into the zone and were not gm-invised at the time. If a GM comes into the zone already gm-invised, you will not know about that.

I'd like to remove this plugin as it's silly, GMs can hide from it if they like. Does anyone want me to keep it around?

I got nothing to Hide..... So there is that..

 

[Redbot]

There's just too many macros that demand this plugin be loaded, so I think we have to keep it around. However I will change the wording so people don't get a false sense of security.

I don’t know what it said before, but reading it I love this line:

You can test the celebratory audio in MQ2 after you have loaded mq2gmcheck with the following command.

celebratory audio has me cracking up. I am picturing cop siren after a hidden speed trap

I'm imagining GLaDOS saying this.

did you follow the instructions?

MQ2GMCheck.ini is not created until it encounters a GM so you may need to create the file.
Open MQ2GMCheck.ini in your favorite editor.
Add the following text to the top of the ini file

[Audio]
Sound=C:\\Program Files\\Macroquest2\\gmcheck.wav[/Audio]

[Audio]
The sound= must point to the correct folder of your sound file. The folders must be separated by \\ for MQ2GMCheck to properly read it. The default sound gmcheck.wav is included in the compile. You can use any .wav file for the audio warning. You just need to correctly point the sound= to it in the in file.

You can test the celebratory audio in MQ2 after you have loaded mq2gmcheck with the following command.

/gmcheck testaudio

[/Audio]

 

[KS1980]

allow me to try this like i said maybe i misunderstood the intructions

 

[KS1980]

I made the changes to reflect:

[Audio]
Sound=C:\\Program Files\\Macroquest2\\GMcheck.wav[/Audio]

However when doing the test audio it gives me a different sound other then whats in that directory.

this is currently where its pointing if im correct



the sound on this folder isnt the sound on the testaudion. Thabnks again

is there a plugin or an option within this to make you gate or even exit out of EQ if the GM alert goes off?

Sounds like you want one of the other various tools.
I'd start by looking into https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/alert-master.2062/ perhaps

You can take a look at MQ2Posse
I think there is some more aswell, but that might get you started.

This plugin checks to see if a GM is in the zone, as they're usually running special events or just chatting with players. What fun! A GM can only be detected if they choose to be detectable. If a GM wants to be undetected, this plugin will...
