MQ2GroupInfo

Release MQ2GroupInfo

Since the bard plugin is now out. I went and redid all my driver keys and converted over to DanNet from EQBCS. My problem is now my groupinfo buttons all tell me to connect to EQBCS... I thought they would use Dannet? Or is there some setting I missed to tell groupinfo to use Dannet vs eqbcs. Note I have EQBCS off and DanNet on. All my hot keys that I have converted to DanNet all work. I need my mimic key back to get into missions/raids :)

look in this from \Release\config
MQ2GroupInfo.ini

change all bc do dg

ComeToMeText=Come To Me
ComeToMeCommand=/dgge /multiline ; /afollow off;/nav stop;/timed 5 /nav id ${Me.ID}
;ComeToMeCommand=/bcg //multiline ; /afollow off;/nav stop;/timed 5 /nav id ${Me.ID}

;MimicMeHailCommand=/noparse /bcg //docommand /timed ${Math.Rand[20,80]} /keypress HAIL
MimicMeToolTip=Everyone do what I do: targeting, hailing, etc.
 
OK I changed that and the come to me and follow me work but mimic me does not work.....

MimicMeText=Mimic Me
MimicMeSayCommand=/dgge /say
|MimicMeSayCommand=/bcg //say
MimicMeHailCommand=/dgge /keypress HAIL
|MimicMeHailCommand=/bcg //keypress HAIL
MimicMeToolTip=Everyone do what I do: targeting, hailing, etc.

That is what I have. I also still get a warning to log into eqbcs.
 
I use mimic me to target npc and say ready so all my toons zone into encounters...

What does?

The eqbcs window? Because yes the eqbcs window will tell you to connect to it.

As far as Dannet goes, make sure to look at the instructions tab on the mq2dannet page
 
Ok I figured it out... I had to edit the target section too...

; This command will have the spawn ID appended to it
TargetCommand=/dgge /target id
|TargetCommand=/bcg //target id
ComeToMeToolTip=/dgge /multiline ; /afollow off;/nav stop;/timed 5 /nav id ${Me.ID}
FollowMeToolTip=/dgge /multiline ; /afollow off;/nav stop;/timed 5 /afollow spawn ${Me.ID}

you should considering just deleting your group info ini file and let the plugin make you a new default one - because it defaults to dannet usage
 
Small problem after last update. The corresponding /rg commands to do this don't work, either. Thanks for the hard work ><
 
Where do you see these options? RGMercs does not have MimicMe or Come to Me ?

I got lost want wandered into the wrong forum.

Mq2groupinfo is the "come to me" etc buttons.

You probably need to check Dannet is working

DialogDB was made for this especially on laz. all of the teleporters should already have their dialogs included.
 
Noticed that my "Mimic Me" button wasn't randomizing the /say messages or hails properly. It will randomize the driving toon, but then all other group members /say or Hail at the same time.

Have tried both variations with the same results.

MimicMeSayCommand=/dgge /timed ${Math.Rand[20,100]} /docommand /say
MimicMeHailCommand=/dgge /timed ${Math.Rand[20,100]} /docommand /keypress HAIL

MimicMeSayCommand=/dgge /docommand /timed ${Math.Rand[20,100]} /say
MimicMeHailCommand=/dgge /docommand /timed ${Math.Rand[20,100]} /keypress HAIL

How can I get all group members to randomize their /say or hail keypresses? This seemed to work before using EQBCS, but when I switched to Dannet, I noticed the different outcome.

This works for me

MimicMeSayCommand=/noparse /dgge /docommand /timed ${Math.Rand[20,80]} /say
;Not timed MimicMeSayCommand=/dgge /say
;MimicMeSayCommand=/bcg //say

;Not Timed MimicMeHailCommand=/dgge /keypress HAIL
;MimicMeHailCommand=/bcg //keypress HAIL
MimicMeToolTip=Everyone do what I do: targeting, hailing, etc.

the lack of /noparse will make all your toons using the same result of the ${Math.Rand[20,100]}
 
I do have the MQ2Groupinfo loaded. I don't understand why all of a sudden this quit working... I haven's made any changes that I know of.

There is the messages I get when I hit each of the buttons with no reaction from group memebers.

OK, I think I know what the problem is... I think it is the VPN blocking it. I found this discussion. I will read it and hopefully find the solution.

https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/mq2dannet.67218/page-9#post-507287
and make sure your vpn is allowing local network traffic
It is possible you may have to change the adapter dannet uses to the vpn adapter but I don't remember, i would definitely try to use the loopback first.
 
Apologies, Not sure where to post this or if there is one created already. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? I've been trying to figure it out for a while. None of the CWTN Plugin check boxes remove it.

Thanks :)
 
that would be the plugin mq2groupinfo, there is a command /groupinfo that will explain more, or if you just want to not use any of the groupinfo stuff, then /dga /plugin groupinfo unload
 
There are 3 plugins

  • mq2groupinfo - adds information and extra buttons to the group window, and adds extra options when right clicking stuff in the group window.
  • mq2targetinfo - adds information in the target window about your current target, like distance, if its a ph and if you have line of sight to it, the ph information might be outdated, not sure anyone is updating the file that contains the info.
  • mq2xtarinfo - adds distance and stuff to the xtarget window.

you can go to their resource pages and click the wiki to learn more about controlling the plugins.

My dude why did you wait a year to ask? This makes me sad.
I hope this is hyperbole.
If I'm being honest, it's been way longer than a year. I've tolerated it for however long it was there prior. It has been bugging me for many years. I did not see any mention of it during initial setup and never knew what it was called. It was just there. Great if you use it but, not if you have no clue what the hell it is. I am sure it would maybe make my life easier, if I knew what it was. I use mages, so typically i just coth everywhere because follow sucks in this game. I was hoping it was some sort of check box in the ui window. I appreciate the help. :)

I use these on a daily basis...

Come to me - I mostly use this when I want my guys to get right on top of me. (For example, when I'm taking the guild portal, and them following isn't close enough for them to get the pop up window to port. Or if I just quickly just want my group to come to me wherever I am in the zone.)
Follow me - Exactly that, it tells everyone in your group to follow you, it works better than the /fol command, and cheaper than pearls.
Mimic me - This one I probably use the most, when getting solo quests, it makes everyone in group do hails and respond to the quest dialogue along with you. You only have to hail once, and not on everyone.

THAT'S what Mimic Me does? Someone showed me dontmakemesayit recently and it does something similar.
 
Mimic me can be dangerous, if you forget to turn it off cause you miss click it or just not paying attention, and then suddenly your entire group is doing things in general chat or guild chat or shout or whatever and then the bad people will come for you!

where as dontmakemesayit, you have much more control over what they say and when, if i was to use such a tool, i would most definately use dontmakemesayit over mimic me

Understood! Thanks for the help!
 
Hey all, I have a question about "Mimic". I'm trying to get away from all thing EQBCS and only use Dannet. So I closed out EQBCS last night and found my Mimic button didn't work.

So, my question is (prolly something simple) how do I integrate the Mimic button with Dannet so as not to have it using EQBCS? Or is it even possible?

Also, ideas for other Dannet uses over EQBCS would be cool.


Thanks all,

BB~
