Release MQ2Grind 3.1.52471.11

[tomahawkeer]

Looked back at the logs. There is a message that shows up after he zones in. It says Time Expired, camping now.

 

[hytiek]

Is there a misconfiguration that would cause one of my bots to immediately start to camp when he zones into an instance? For some reason my cleric immediately starts to camp once he enters the instance. If I don't switch to him before the 30 seconds is up, he will camp out. When I hit cancel it stops his mac. At that point, I can restart kiss and he will run fine there after, but when I initially start, he is doing this.

There could be a misconfiguration in your settings, but nothing that Grind shipped with or has any buttons related to.

https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/afkamp.85451/ maybe? (or similar, just looked through the code there and doesn't show that exact message)

I only run 1 Lua right now, and that's for overseer. I am close to blowing away my cleric ini and starting it from scratch. The fact that its only 1 of my toons screams cleric config.

Ah I see Sic has already asked the most relevant questions. It's probably somewhere hidden in your KA config

Kissassist.mac, yes:

 

[Silverspaceman]

Bard using kissassist, after rezed just chases group. Not sure why kissassist doesnt resume.This only seems to be the case when using grind. Any suggestions?

What are your MQ2Rez settings? IIRC, there's an option to turn off macros on death and restart on resurrection, so maybe the plugin is sending /end on death.

 

[Robahn]

You mention in the FAQ section that your PL toon is not doing anything. How would i have to set this up?

My PL'ee keeps running into troubles/deaths.

EDIT: ... hmm, perhaps if i lower % value for assist? to 1%? this might work .. will test ..

or perhaps there is another / beter solution?

I unload the controlling thing (eg. plugin/kissassist/rgmerc) on my PLee. Often I run chase.Lua on the PLee and pin him to the healer of the group.

You could change the assist at % but I suspect your real problem is running Selos during a crawl. Selos will overshoot the location markers and create proximity aggro.

[BGCOLOR=initial]Awesome plugin! Ive been running it a lot since I purchased it![/BGCOLOR]

I was wondering if youre planning on adding older missions to this?

Ive been doing some Mech Guardian lately on a new group, and mobs in there respawn, so it could potentially run back and forth for 6 hours! - wouldve been awesome having this added to Grind to level up alts!

is this one of the zones that the meshes end up getting whacky because of the zone using a base mesh just an alternative state? if so, nav doesn't have a way to handle that yet, which would create a huge problem for nav (and grind)

I'm always up for reviewing something which might be viable. Please feel free to share the link to the quest you are talking about (make my life easy please) and I'll be happy to look at it.

If this is the zone where you have to take multiple elevators: I will not be adding this.

Nah this is the giant robot that walks around dsh with multiple floors inside. Better to just pick a good area and hunter tank for 6 hours

yeah, you sure we're not talking about the same zone?

the zone is "guardian" which is "guardian_80" the _* is an alternate configuratation of the zone

 

[a_moss_snake]

You can huntertank at the topmost floor, that should work fine. All the floors below are such a pita mesh wise.

100% same zone sorry I tried to block that place from memory.

Yeah, that seems to be the best solution. Kind of figured I'd ask, cause I found it messy navigating the elevators manually. Haha.

Thanks for the discussion though!

 

[okio]

is there a way turn pause off while gathering mana before exit or a way to kill off charmed pets before you go into pause?

 

[hytiek]

At the moment no but... maybe soon... (tm)

In the meantime, disable charm for more safety.

 

[okio]

Thanks Hytiek, Thats how I am running at the moment.

Have a suggestion for a lower level (85) instance in Underfoot called Dont Fear the Destroyer. It's in T1 UF, and seems pretty decent both when it comes to mobs, but also navigation. It's a relatively open zone, with little to no chances of getting stuck. There's also quite a few areas to clear; some more dangerous than others, but at most in the suggested areas you get 2-3 mobs.

Mobs are between 82-86, and consists of gnolls, kobolds and plants. Some spellcasters, but shouldnt be an issue. See screenshots of maps below for suggestions:

Overview:


Probably stay away from this area:------------------- Can pull and kill here: ---------------------------------Also here. Few adds, but should be fine:

I wanted to let you know that I'm not ignoring this; its behind some progression and I've just started working on it.

This is good news. I would love to see grind adopt some lower level missions. It will help people bringing up full groups, that don't have the ability to use Grounds PLing, it also fits nicely with level 85 heroics.

 

[lilwizzie]

Another good mission, but also locked behind progression in Underfoot, is Search for Saunk. Lots of mobs in this instance that are spaced nicely!

No worries man, its EverQuest after all, weve been going for 20+ years, we can wait!

I LOVE MQ2GRIND!

However, one issue I am having is after the grind is over with, my chase mode will not work unless I click follow me.

follow me also does not work all the time after zoning iv noticed as well

 

[hytiek]

Hey Monkeyman - help me better understand how to test what you're suffering with there. For instance, would you please share the steps which I may follow to test this problem in order to remedy it.

Thanks!

 

[Sic]

hi monkeyman, you replied to a post back in 2020 about followme (which isn't about mq2grind).

hytiek is going to be confused trying to help you with mq2grind, but it doesn't appear you're asking an mq2grind question

 

[KS1980]

2 Questions.

1. If all toons have an item set to NEVER on advance loot at the end of the event, is there any way it can just drop the mission instead of waiting for the 20+ minutes for the item or the mob to decompose and loot window clear?

2. I know this is a far out question but any chance at the end of the p[ath say 24/24 it can back track to clear any possible paths mobs it may have missed then drop?

thx

Hey there

So for question #1: The idea behind "Wait for loot" was to loot things which you might want, never the opposite. I understand why you are asking this and feel that a way to approach this is perhaps try Lootly or CWTN's loot manager to help speed up the Adv Loot window.

Regarding your second question is the concern something which attacks you before exiting or are you trying to ensure that you've killed all of the mobs that you could?

just trying to clear possible missed mobs

 

[hytiek]

The amount of work _you_ would need to invest isn't worth the missed mobs. Recycling and allowing the automation to do its thing will be the most effective approach here.

Does anyone remember the aa per kill you get in shei grind at 120?

 

[durango773]

1.77-1.94 (on FV)

 

[oldtimer]

Yeah, that seems to be the best solution. Kind of figured I'd ask, cause I found it messy navigating the elevators manually. Haha.

Thanks for the discussion though!

You can get clickys to teleport you to various floors. Years ago I used to enter robot, Teleport to top floor and AA xp for hours.

 

[orbitz]

Thanks durango.

On live I'm getting 1.3 to 1.6.

 

[compleatp]

Cleric on pause. I am seeing a lot of cases where a group member or 2 die in a fight and then the plugin pauses the group, but it pauses the Cleric so they can't res. If you unpause the cleric MQ2 plugin everyone gets rezzed and back to work. There needs to be some logic that if paused for a death, make sure cleric is not paused. My group also has a pally so he could have rezzed but he was paused also.

That is the only comment for improvement I have. This is the most amazing plugin I have ever used.

So I'll start out by saying that I came back after leaving in 2010. Like many, I was raid geared and could box (what was boxing then) pretty much anywhere at the time. I ran with my BL tanking, my wife's mage, my gimp clr, and a friend ran his mage and pulled with a bard. Here we are after 13 years and the game's changed. I'd digging it and I've bought licenses for mage, bst, and clr (I started an enc and got that too). I stumbled on MQ2grind and I've read thru the Discussion here and I've got a few questions. Could the bst (114) tank with a the /grind waiver? I'm not 100% on this one or would it be worth my time to just make a WAR or SK and do the heroic 100 for it? That's what I did for the rest of the toon to get them to 100. The mage and clr are sitting at 112 and the enc is at 107 now. Presumably an SK could pull.

Thanks in advance!

it could - and you can do a lot pet tanking - but using a #real tank is going to substantially increase your ability to do things like missions and achievements and more complicated things
