ok. so when you said chain casting you meant that you have 2 toons overwriting one another and they're getting into a buffing match.
I'll just add a toggle to turn off using the regular DS lines

well there is an issue that is fixed next update where it not respecting your campradius if your MA is already close to the mob, but we definitely do respect autoassistat value
from Elemental form AA?
there is no toggle for the AA usage - would be silly not to use it.
for the illusion it gives you, you can either add one of them to your block buffs (it appears one of them will block the others as well). the elemental form XXXIII will still apply, but the illusion portion will be blocked.
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
or you can leave on
/mag autoremoveillusion on
Hmmm...noticed this a couple of times. When pullertank dies...and group still has aggro mages just sit there iddle. Tankpuller is MA...what's am I missing here, the mages are in assist mode at 100...they should be attacking...sucks big time on mobs like zlandi which sometimes will oneshot a squishy tank...then the mages just sit there and the whole group dies...
well couple things - you quoted the thing about the AA ability which doesn't appear to have anything to do with your question? unless im missing something?
but yeah, if your MA is dead, they don't know who to attack, so they're not going to do anything, unfortunately.

this means you are trying to use a mq2mage.dll for a version of macroquest/mq2 that it does not match.
you should use the VV launcher to let it automatically download the correct mq2mage for your usage. you should not copy files around to the wrong directories.
Since it doesn't appear the VV launcher downloaded it for next - which is why i'm assuming you got the error.
edit: no doesn't appear you did - I have updated your next war and next mage license. if you purchase or renew any more plugins and wish to use them on next, please msg @ChatWithThisName or me as per that post, because we have to manually update the licenses.
run the launcher, your stuff is updated and you will be able to download them.
don't move files around manually, they won't work.
should be all good to go now
When in raidmode would there be a way to assign an assist(maybe with extended target?) if the raid leader hasn't assigned anyone as an assist? Sometimes they expect you to know what target to be on and if nothing is assigned the macro will then sit there and I have to go Manual.
Love the Macro. Thanks in advance.

no, you need either a group main assist (and not be in raidmode) or a raidassist set and be in raid mode so the plugin knows what mob to be casting on

Great plugin, currently boxing up to 6, 115 mages with it. Is there any way that it can give a certain % to start using mana abillities? I find myself in raid situations needing to manually use my mana abilities at a higher threshold than what its set to automatically. Also, can there be a way to have a setting on there that allows you to use the composite pet buff, or maybe use it when only Gift of Mana procs. In long raid fights that is a very high demand mana spell, so being able to turn that off would be nice.
Any how great plugin I love mages!

gathermana isn't currently adjustable - i can take a look at that.
composite pet only gets used during gom unless you are burning and if you're burning, we're going to burn
- are we burning? - then use your progressive spell if your pet is missing it
- are we not burning, but we have gom? - then use your progressive spell if your pet is missing it
I downloaded and put in live and it worked fine but what about MQnext which I prefer to use with Lua.
How do I get the CWTN mage plugin to work with Next? I did load the dll into next (plugin folder) but it did not show up when I did a refresh.
Did I choose the right folder?

howdy Demoria I moved your post to the mq2mage thread.
there is also a stickied post about > CWTN and Next <
tl;dr - any new purchases or license updates you have to msg me or cwtn to get your licenese manually added for next.
(which i have now done, so if you hit the vv launcher for next, it will download it)
you absolutely can't just willy nilly move .dlls for different builds around - they won't work
Last few times I have done a Named in a mission when the Mage goes into burn mode I get spammed "Your ability failed: Timer has been reset". It happens with Improved Twincast, Focus of Arcanum and Servant of Ro. while it is constantly spamming this the Mage does no damage and I end up turning BurnAllNamed off and it stops and goes to nuking, my solution is to do a Glyph of Destruction for the moment. Is there anything I can be doing wrong?I dont have a dump or know how... I have heard you talk about it before for troubleshooting. I can get it if you need it and point me in right direction how. I thought maybe Servant of Ro was an oor thing so I tried getting closer but the other 2 shouldnt matter on range. I highly suspect its something I am doing.
Thanks for any help you can give Sic.

nah, i've seen this with an AA that eq says is ready to be cast, but is unavailable - I'm not sure what causes it, and we don't have a solution for it at the moment, but it is a thing that is a problem. it is possible related to how eq casts swarm pets and has some weird thing that will make a new swarm ability not fire for a second - for mage this is Servant of Ro and host of elements being back to back
no solution at this time

Need a little help...logged in tonight and my plugins aren't loading correctly. Getting error to please recompile....mq2mage is out of date with respect to mq2main. I tried the beta mq2mage on a friends mage but I'm not planning on playing a mage so I'm not planning on getting mq2mage. Do I need something deleted so mq2mage doesn't try to load so my other plugins work? Thanks.
howdy Coop
mq2mage went "full paid release" on august 1st (cwtn announced this on july 13th). the launcher doesn't have a way of deleting old files, but if you have not purchased mq2mage, then you will either a: need to purchase it, b: go into your macroquest2.ini and change mq2mage=1 to mq2mage=0, or c: delete your mq2mage.dll from your release folder so it doesn't try and load the now out of date file
since you're not planning on getting mq2mage, you can just safely delete the now, out-of-date mq2mage plugin
sounds good. it will be in your mq2 -> release folder. feel free to pm me if you have trouble finding it or need further help in editing your ini so it doesn't try and load
redguides does have an issue open for this specific thing, so its definitely an "us" issue and not a "you" issue btw coop >here <
that's a first we've heard of that with mq2mage - i've heard some folk's antivirus flagging things like dannet, or eqbc, or even mq2rez (false positives).
it might be worth making an exception from scanning your macroquest directory as you can definitely have false positives.
to be clear, you're using the VV launcher, and then windows is unhappy about it? is this windows defender or an antivirus suite?
I'm sorry, I can't read that at all.
your download history does show it did download successfully.
again, it might be worth exempting your macroquest folder from whatever antivirus you're using, and possibly report the false positive to them
you should consider using screensnip which is built-in to windows --- Windows Key + Shift + S ---> drag to select the area you want to copy, then you can control-v to paste that image from your clipboard.
if your antivirus or other detection is reporting a false-positive, there isn't anything that cwtn or I can do to address that.
as mentioned you might want to consider whitelisting your macroquest directory and i would suggest reporting it as a false positive.
I'm sorry you're having these troubles, but there isn't anything that I'm able to do about it
well, they had several updates since last patch and were obviously recompiled.
if instead do you mean "did you put l337 hax inside to steal our cryptos/cat pictures" - I'm afraid we didn't do anything like that
I did check it through VirusTotal and i do see 2/68 flagging it but it doesn't really tell me much about why it thinks there is an issue
edit: I also ran the next version of mq2mage through VirusTotal and 0/67 there
Getting same thing with Bitdefender "Sorry it looks like there was an issue: Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\RedGuides\DesktopUtility\downloads\MQ2Mage.dll' is denied. Please report this to management.". I also tried to manually download and it gets blocked due to Bitdefender, tried to add an exception and still wont download.
You need to download via the launcher and not your browser if your browser if false positive flagging it (you should be doing this anyhow to ensure you're not manually putting a file in the wrong location)
If your launcher isn't downloading you likely have anti-virus, or something already running like eqbcs2 that needs to be exited so the launcher can properly download and patch
as mentioned in the previous posts - you should consider adding an exemption for your mq2 for your antivirus, otherwise you can and will run into false positives.
Bitdefender deleted the MQ2Mage.dll out of my redguides folder and I cant use the plugin anymore. I will keep playing with antivirus but I have tried to download manually(web browser) and using redguides launcher, the last post I quoted was an error the Redguides launcher gave me when trying to update. For now I cant use the plugin till I figure out the antivirus. I tried to disable it for 5 minutes to allow me to download it but its still not allowing it. Since it went in and deleted the MQ2Mage.dll from redguides folder I suspect if I do get it downloaded the AV will delete it again till issue is resolved. (Can you PM me a copy of the known working MQ2mage.dll so I can get rolling again?)
no, because your browser and antivirus is going to flag that exactly the same as it is now
it probably didn't delete it - it probably quarantined it, which means its still there just not accessible, which is why you can't overwrite or whatnot.
This what Bitdefender is saying if it will help you when I try and update through RG Launcher. The file C:\Users\xxxxx\Downloads\dad5b878-648d-4d90-9dc2-8cc641e3b0d0.tmp is infected with Gen:Suspicious.Cloud.1.5u4@a8zylLmi and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.
It won't help me unfortunately, like I said theres nothing we can do, if your anti-virus is flagging something that is a false positive you need to white list / exempt etc.
Sorry you're having troubles, whitelist ING your mq2 directory is your best bet
