[hytiek]

I've been trying for the past couple of days to get into the GOBLINS AND FOOLS mission, but I keep getting this error:

I've already imported the navmesh above from hytiek (not that I think that should matter). I'm trying to run this on Live - is that my issue?

You have done nothing wrong. Goblins and Fools was enabled only on MQNext build:

Confirmed - I don't look at all of the posts in the Discussions, ha ha!

Thanks a ton, hytiek. I'll try again in a bit with the MQNext.

That’s some seriously funny Marine shit there. Great to know other Marines don’t read well either :P

I dont eat crayons, but they might taste better then ALL of the MRE's..

fixed it for you

 

[chris32]

could someone explain how to get this to run on Next?
I have it on Live fine. I tried using the Next Migrator but that didn't work.
I'm sorry if this is simple.
thank you in advance for your help

if you just purchased it, it takes 0-4 hours for the server to sync licenses from MQ2 "legacy" to MQ "Next", so 6 times a day.

I explain it a bit in the over view vid if this explains it better

 

[chris32]

Thank Sic! You really are the best...i was beating my head against wall trying to figure it out. You rock!

yeah sorry for the troubles, soon :tm: we won't have the 2 systems nor the sync and waiting thing

does this require reguides build for the subscription or can it be used with selfbuild/mq2builder?

It is an exclusive RedGuides plugin, you would need to have appropriate access. I see that you have Level 2 - you can use it in your own release folder, just copy it over post-build.

2 questions, Is the frontier mountains one going to be put back on? 2nd, I tried to do the GMM one, but when I zone out of the mission after it it is complete a few of my toons get killed by roamers and since it puts all the CWTN plugins in pause they do nothing. any suggestions?

I didn't remove EoK Goblins and Fools. Sounds like you were playing with Next and now back on Live. The EoK mission is only available on the Next build.

RE: GMM you could modify the pause, you could work on your faction, you could get out of GMM and move to EoK =)
I regret putting GMM in ... it's such a burden. I'm sorry!

not your fault they were stupid and put agro mobs right next to a quest giver. I dont use Next, I just aw it was available from the screen on the frist page. ran my dudes ever there and it said it wasnt available. I might need to figure out the mqnext. scared i will have to redo everything I have done trying a new platform. I appreciate all your work, now if I could get to where I can use it, it would be awesome .

 

[Gman]

What's the chance of either having a /grind command or a TLO that displays how long the current grind has been running?

 

[classifyde]

So I installed and migrated mqnext. Went to frontier mountains, mess around with stuff and finally get grind to start. Zone i to the instance. It says moving to point 1 and nothing happens. Everyone is just sitting there. Any thoughts? Seems like a bunch if plugins that were running in mq2 are not running in next. Everything is updated. I am used to the plugin manager so I have no clue whats working or not.

I found that the "one point" move wasn't exactly enough. I made sure that all of my group was set to "Follow Me" and inched my way forward until I got close enough to fall down to the next level. At that point, my other toons were following and I was able to engage in the first fight. After that, it all went smoothly.

Good luck!

 

[classifyde]

Yeah I figured that out. I have to drop down before it will start. Was hoping it was less micro managed, and it just ran. Maybe a bug that can be fixed?

If I were to guess, I'd say quite high chance. There is a command for Kills Per Hour (/grind kph). The time is already being watched, is this what you were looking for or something else?

@classifyde and @Colonel - USMC Retired the plugin was not designed for you to apply a band-aid. The plugin is fully functional as long as you apply what it asks for. =)

Both of your problems will be solved if you update DROGAB mesh as it says in the release notes.

anyone have this working with modbot?

Hey hytiek!

I wasn't complaining. I already put the new zone mesh in my files, but still had to "nudge" my SK into the area to get it to go, but definitely not a complaint. Since I've only run this a couple of times in the Droga ***JUST TO GET USED TO IT***, I didn't get much AAXP on a group of 115's, but I was more into watching how the mechanics were working and where I would be required to butt in, if necessary.

I think it's great overall, tho!

Thank you for the compliment; I don't understand the nudge though and I want to understand what is causing the manual intervention.

I'm an idiot.

I updated the "Live" mesh, not the "MQNext" one. (see my previous post above about not always reading through everything...).

I had 2 reasons:

1.) Sometimes I'm curious how long it's been running
2.) So I can calculate xp/hr over the duration.

I have xp/hr being calculated and displayed on boxhud using a TLO from mq2xptracker but it resets after every instance. Since I spend less than one hour per I'm never getting a true idea of how much per hour I'm gaining over time. I've been using kph as a general gauge of how much better a particular toon is getting as they level and increase in aa but I'd like to have something to pair that against.

It's not a huge want, but if it were easy and if you have time I'd sure appreciate it. =)

I'll work on it tonight and let you know when ready.

 

[game_sparks]

I have found that rogues are getting stuck (in great divide, Restless Assault) because of skill:hide outside of the instance, the rogue is hiding when he says ready. I think always adding a makemevisible before having a rogue say "ready" would fix the issue(s) even if it is happening for other instances. Thank you

 

[hellfyre]

Could just turn hide off on the rogues. That's all I do as there surprise attack isn't worth alot in dungeon grinds

yeah you can just add the makemevis in your pause, i believe hytiek was going to update the default to include that

Pause=/multiline ; /rog usehidesneak off; /rog pause on; /timed 20 /makemevisible

 

[classifyde]

Thanks Hitiek. It was a bug, a bug in my head. Let.me update the next mesh, as I had only done the live. What he meant by nudge was you physically have to move your tank forward to get it to start running to the first spot. I will report back after I update the mesh. Thanks for the help.

 

[classifyde]

I have updated my mesh ( I think ) There was not a mesh folder in my next folder so I copied and put on there then replaced the droga mesh. everything loads in, and it says navigating to the 1st spot and my tank does not move. I have to manually make him run until he falls down the hole then he will start the nav and it takes over from there and finishes. Then I have to run him down the hole for it to start every time. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong or have not done to make it work correctly. I am sure it is my error, but no freaking clue what I didnt load or move to the next folder to make it work.

Have you put this file (https://www.redguides.com/community/attachments/drogab-navmesh.34638/) in your Next\resources\MQ2Nav folder and reloaded your meshes? Let's be sure you've put the file in the right location. This is definitely a user issue; not a plugin issue. Please reach out to me on Discord (hytiek#2341) for faster assistance!

Just to help, your meshes should be in a folder structure like this:



The green arrows are optionally named which means you might have your folder on G: or D: and you may have called your install for MQNext something else like "coolRGStuff"; but the red arrows are pointing at mandatory locations for MQ2Nav to work, these cannot be named anything else - which means that the drogab mesh you downloaded must be located in the resrouces > MQ2Nav folder. Anywhere else means you didn't install the mesh correctly.

hytiek updated MQ2Grind with a new update entry:

Crash fix and updated some default settings

11/8/2021
---
Enhancements (MQNext build only)
- Updated MQ2Rogue default settings, recommended to reset to default
- Reduced internal pulse to allow the plugin to react quicker (pulseSkip)

Resolved defects (MQNext build only)
- Hopefully fixed a crash - if you are crashing please reach out

Caveats (known issues)
- /multiline issue with /rgstart in MQ2Grind.ini (work around is to replace /rgstart with /macro rgmercs\RGMERC.mac)
- Plugin is not available for EMU
- EQ, MQ2, and...

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[Redmarine]

Now sure how but keep walking back to this. in the GMM mission. i think the ranger using Kissassist gets stuck and the rest of the team moves on so him merc stays back with him and the team dies.

 

[classifyde]

Thank you for all the help guys. Love this community.

I've had this ask a few times and I've thought about it a lot... I really don't want to build it into the plugin because I think it's better suited to be handled with MQ2React to interact with the plugin, instead of yet another layer of configuration buried into a plugin. In saying this, in order to enable this use case, I need to extend some data of the plugin to a TLO (for instance: ${Grind.Active} - this way, a MQ2React could be configured to check end/mana and if a grind is active, and then instruct the plugin to pause as soon as its safe (my thought is /grind safepause). What this would do is ensure that there's no mobs on xtarget and nothing around us to surprise kill us while we paused. Then a second MQ2React which picks up that our end/mana is better and we're ready to continue.

In typing this out, I'm really on the fence because I can see the configuration being built into MQ2Grind and it watching the group stats and such.... and I can see MQ2React working but then getting complicated by support classes asking the tank to safepause. Another option is by introducing a delay at each location that is user defined. Something like "PauseAtLoc=20" would pause for 20 seconds before continuing. This would give your crew the ability to self-manage their end/mana accordingly by sitting or canni or mod rod as their controlling plugin/macro has defined.

I'll sleep on it and give it more thought.

With this information, I'd love to see your opinions on the matter. Help influence me. =)

I have been looking how to do this, Thought I would look in /events, but then found this reply..

Was there a react that worked to pause or unpause automatically?

Where do i put the mq2grind.dll file and how do i load it with my sk? /mq2grind load? Also says have to use dannet, what is dannet/? Tried opening the dll file to review, as its mentions will have to customize ... thanks in advance.
