I pulled the trigger purchasing this plugin a little too fast. I forgot that I can't run mq2dannet under Wine (environment for running windows programs under Linux), so far its the only plugin that fails (crashes on load). Is there any chance of adding eqbcs support to mq2grind?

heya hytiek,
wonder what happened to your plans for adding pause/resume when group is low on mana.
didnt you want to add some marks for mana/health so my group doenst run oom all the time?
The plans are to support it. I have some code written to support it, I just haven't finished it as I have been working on some core changes to support other types of instances. MQ2React is still the best way to handle it for now until I release this. I have a few personal things that I want to take care of before I get to this and other things in the todo list. I may just propose a list and let folks vote on the most important/impact change and let that drive my efforts.

So I looked into it a little more and found out what the issue was. It was a typical UE (User Error) issue. Turns out the UI I was using, wasn't actually default. Swapped back to default UI and it worked flawlessly. I apologize for that. It wasn't anything with this plugin.

I also made a fix to groupinfo so if you had a busted ui it wouldn't explode

This just means that you chose to purchase a new license rather than renew.
It doesn't mean anything other than you will see 1 expired and 1 current license

Here's a few options for my next priorities for the plugin, as I said earlier, this is your chance to vote on what gets done first. Please vote by means of reaction, I'll explain:
New instance (sub lvl 100, maybe even TLP based):
Configuration to allow for delay of Group navigation:
Aggro checker of XTargets (save the healer!):
Designated Quest-Getter (someone other than tank to get mission):
Auto resume (after all PC corpses are rez'd):
Check group for Mana / Endurance / HP:
Let's see what happens with this.

I'll give this a look, but would you mind sharing a bit about what races are in your group, are you shrunk? full height? which location or grind location number?

races: DE (3), Vah Shir (2), gnome (1) or half-elf(1). All shrunk.
I'll do it again soon and note the sticky places, but on general its at two huge doors that need to be clicked (i cant remember the exact loc, will find that out)

Today my group has been doing the following for Restless Assault:
1) starts grind 2) finishes the grind 3) boots group out 4) gets new mission 5) gets hung up and stuck at: "got the task, waiting for dynamic zone info"
I have to manually /grind end, and then /grind start after each and every mission. Logged all 6 out, and then back in. Still acting the same. Never seen this before. Thanks for any help!

Seconding this as it's been going on for me since Friday night. (March 4) Thought it might be something with EQ but, I see there was an update to Grind yesterday so, perhaps something is up with that. Sometimes, I can do 2 runs before it hangs, most times 1. Tried reinstalling Grind after a full log out and restart. Same deal, though.

Thank you both for sharing this issue.
I've heard from another about this as well and have started looking into how best to resolve this.
My initial testing seems to lean to the fact that there has been a change on the EQ side and I will cater for this as best as I can.
For now, if you are having this specific issue, please reach out to me directly on Discord and I will provide you with a dev-build which currently handles it.
I've tested my hunch for about 10 hrs now and seems to be correct. I'm not aware of any other instance that this is happening with at this time, but the fix I'll be publishing will cater for it happening at any instance.

You may see a few new things in your MQ Console or MQ2ChatWnd, I thought I'd share and explain what's going on with these things:
I was never happy with the way I initially provided the brute force fix for those characters that got skipped during the Task Add process. It was cumbersome and ugly. If you don't know what I am talking about, you are very lucky. For those of you who do know what I'm talking about: I've created a feature to scan the toons in the Shared Task and compare about the (PC) toons in the group. If there's a PC which which is in group and not in Shared Task and in the same zone (at quest giver before going in), then the plugin will automatically add the toon(s) for you. Here are 3 screen shots to see the kind of mess EQ has with Shared Tasks:
While testing this, I did not interfere with the game mechanics at all, these were all truly 100% EQ's fault and not manipulated by me at all.
Alright, let's move to the next thing. Recently I added some checks for open spell books and or casting and special checks for Bards specifically and this was all done over Dannet commands. Most folks seem to have "localecho" enabled (not sure why, but that's ok) - and I've seen and handled a few queries were folks weren't happy with it or rather questioned WTF was going on. So to help elleviate the visual burden of this, the plugin now checks if you have Dannet localecho enabled and if so, disable it for you until the end of the Grind at which point the plugin will toggle it back to "on" for you since you like having it. if you don't like it disable it by "/dnet localecho off". Any how, here's a view of what you might see relating to this addition:
As you can see we start by detecting that localecho is on, then disable it for you, then when you end your Grind, toggle it back for you. In the case where you have localecho off, we do nothing about it.
That's it for now. I thought I'd get this update in while the servers are down and have time to post this update.
I hope you all have a great day!

Wanted to add a couple of tips to prevent getting stuck while in a Grind.
1) For melee characters using the /stick option. Try modifying the '/stick how' options to use /stick front 10. This helps to prevent characters from becoming stuck on zone geometry, when by default, characters are attempting to stick snaproll or stick behind.
2) If you are using an Enchanter. Disable the 'Chaotic Mez' option (only when in a Grind). Otherwise the Enchanter attempts to hit every single mob with Chaotic, and this means potential roamers get frozen/mezzed somewhat beyond line of sight on stairwells and around corners etc. Which results in the tank, using /stick, becoming stuck on a corner or a wall while trying to path to the mob.

I got started with this about a few weeks before the most recent EQ outage and had mixed results concerning the grind location for Great Divide mission. Want to thank @hytiek for fixing the issues and reporting that it's been working great again and dependable!

I wanted to also note that I have been using the following mac I created for a week now on my Driver Toons to assist with issues where this plugin would pause and not resume until I manually noticed it.
This sends a /grind Resume command every 5min. For me it's usually because a toon died and took a rez and has already been buffed up.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this plugin.
i have to keep resetting my assistat to 100 every time it flip the instance. is there something i should be changing specifically? im using CWTN plugins sk,clr,zer,bst
and all reset to 98 once they zone back into instant. i have typed it in to assist at 100 and used the ui to do it.

The assistat value is set on CWTN plugins, not grind; unless its in grind and you haven't updated the configuration.
Take a moment and go into the class configuration and ensure your configuration. If you don't come right with it, send me your INI privately.
For instance:
Change that setting and ensure it's not in your Resume setting either (for each class you use)

So been messing around with this on test. In TOL Shei Vinitras I noticed you get stuck on the sacrificial table a lot. Because you almost always have multiple mobs ae aggro fires a lot from tanks. Which means you’ll end up targeting the table which will eventually kill your. I‘ll get screenshots of the area and the example but noticing how often it happens i can’t imagine it’s not causing a hitch in the run through for a lot of folks.

hytiek updated MQ2Grind with a new update entry:
New feature: Last Run
Read the rest of this update entry...

With the new update, I thought it was a good idea to share where to find the configuration and elaborate a bit more...
So when you are in game, you can run `/grind ui` and get the user interface that you see below. Under the General Configuration tab, you'll find lastRunCmd. This is completely optional. Essentially if you execute `/grind lastrun` while in a Grind, this will tell the plugin that it does not want to recycle any more and it will execute the command, no options. So if you want it to do something, configure it.
Sic messaged me this morning and raised this feature, it was such a good idea I couldn't wait to get it into the plugin.
As you can see above, the lastRunCmd has the option to be edited. I do recommend adding a timer based on some tests, just to allow all of the toons in the group to gain full control. You could leave this empty, use the example I've shown here, or execute a macro or Lua script. Hell ... you could `/dg /q` as well if you wanted to. The use case is along the lines of "Damn I gotta go do something and shouldn't afk ... /grind lastrun"
Mileage may vary, have fun and please let me know if there's any issue with this. It was limited testing but such a simple add.

I know this has been reported before but I would like to second this...
Since some days (dunno exactly when it started) my group sometimes doesnt drop the task at the end. The plugin is saying it does but all my toons keep the task. This leads to not leaving the instance of course and force me to manualy drop it.
I dunno what causes this so I cant reproduce.
For me this happens in Restless Assault but atm I dont do any other missions.
