Plugin - MQ2Mage (1 Viewer) 3.1.52471.11

I've submitted the file to Microsoft as a false positive so that they will unblock it. It happened to me as well. Hopefully fixed after this weekend.
Thank you for the heads up, my first post and its a failed one. Well, this is my first issue with any of the CWTN plugins. Ill see about better research before I speak out next time folks.

the awesome and mighty @Redbot is going to do a VV rebuild for us later, we're hoping that the rebuild won't have the false-positive flag, so cross your fingers :)

I would still recommend whitelisting your mq/mq2/VV and even eq folders just from a performance perspective alone
 
Would it be possible to get mage buffs / pet weapons option for xtarget like some of the other classes have? I love being able to run through my guild hall and get buffed like the lag piles..

possibly down the line, no timeline, however
 
In the mean time you can clearly see Microsoft online engines do not think its malware. I suspect once they release tomorrows virus definitions that it will stop detecting it as malware.

our good buddy @BrianGragg heard back about his submission for the false-positive for mq2mage

Thank you Brian!

These are the instructions given back:
Code:
1. Open command prompt as administrator and change directory to c:\Program Files\Windows Defender
2. Run “MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures”
3. Run "MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate"

Alternatively, the latest definition is available for download here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/definitions


I'm assuming once the definitions are re-auto-downloaded it would just fix itself but the above would make those fixes now, correct Brian?

Correct. The commands from M$ will remove the 'bad' definitions and then force Defender to download the updated correct definitions. If you are having trouble or are not conformable excluding the RG patcher folder or your MQ folder you can use the above commands to stop Defender from flagging it as malware.
 
Everyone should have their MQ folder and the EQ folder excluded from any virus or malware scans. You EQ log files especially will kill your performance if you allow active scanning. People on my guild raid run into this all the time because they allow their log file to be scanned and it kills their game performance on raids. The mistakenly blame the game for "lag" when no one else on the raid has lag.
 
can a old guy with a brain cramp get an answer? I am getting a empty spell gem atm...not using BYOS at all yet, swear didnt have a empty gem before? is there somewhere that tells us the set of spells used?
 
Is there a way to make charmed pets not eligible to receive pet weapons? Just noticed my mage spam summons weapons and constantly tries to give em to the Enchanters charmed pet LOL

/mag missing will tell you of any missing spells the plug-in might want to
Use for your level as I understand it.

no, not at this time, you can turn off selfpetweaponsonly, however and it would only give them to your pet.

no, but imagine if you mentioned more information in your post.

like what level, your settings, and what gem slot is empty.

There are a couple of slots that could end up empty if you turned off settings - like turning off veilds or skinds might result in an empty gem slot

115 max all AAs I have 3 kids I m gainfully employed nothing turned off....purposely made sure byos was not on...I like moonlit walks on the beach and the last spell gem slot ie #13...anything else please feel free if I omitted anything here.
 
i have not touched a setting but byos to swap shield for coth but again made sure it was not on so it would load mage as it was intended
 
will use alliance in that slot if UseAlliance is on, otherwise will use Paradox in that slot if UseParadox is on and it's not already memorized in another slot.

AND FOR THAT I thank you. Paradox was off and couldnt remember what I was missing tho it was there before. thanks for that. not sure why it was off. Thanks again

so when you adamantly said "i have not touched a setting" dripping with sarcasm upon me asking for more information including your settings to try and help you, what you meant was, "yeah i turned off a setting and that is why i'm missing a slot" :p

glad you sorted it out

P.S. I haven't walked on the beach in ages, that sounds nice actually, saw some bioluminescent phytoplankton a few years ago and it was incredible

Redbot updated MQ2Mage with a new update entry:

9/14/2021

- you can now adjust when you use Gather Capability line at
-- /mag GatherCapabilityAt #
- Fixed issue where you would spam swarm AA back to back, but it would fail because you cast another swarm pet too recently.
- Updates to correct issue with retargetting mobs if you're huntertank or tank mode and you buff.
- Fixed spelling error for "Annihilate the Aberrant".
- Corrected issue with Eradicate Magic firing if we had just targeted a friendly.

Read the rest of this update entry...
 
I think this issue might already be known but last night while playing on test I noticed my mage got stuck in a loop trying to use the item frostbound paradox from the self cast DD item. When this happens it seems my entire group crashes to character select and the mage is often rolled back a few mins. My question is.. is there a way to disable this issue is fixed? Thank you.

howdy Ajhram,
sorry to hear about your troubles
mq2 on test has several issues right now which cascades into plugins and macros causing issues with items.

you can /mag useparadox off to turn it off, but you're going to likely continue have other issues

 
Hi,

I am really satisfied how this addon works!
Just a minor thing(always there is one of those, sry)...
It keeps giving summoned weapons for my SK. Gives for pet too, but SK don't need em :)

we are only checking for and giving out to pets

are you sure you don't have something external switching your target some somesuch?
 
Please define:

The MQ2AutoLoot Accepts em as "To Loot".
Should I try to put em to Not loot?
Problem is, that it's offering them to SK.
Other chars in grp are left outside of this.

?

we say "is there a pet near us that is missing primary and secondary weapons, if so, give them weapons" then we summon a weapon and hand them to that pet.

We don't check players or hand the items to a player

when we go to trade we say "is the spawn id of our target the spawn id of the spawn we've identified that needs the item"

can you PM me a screensnip where it says it is handing items to your tank (if you don't want to pm me your toon name that is fine, but if you can show me somehow your toon and your pet that would be useful)
 
has anyone else had any issues with trying to load mq2mage? everything was working flawlessly until today when I logged on. I'm unable to /plugin mq2mage load , it states its an invalid command. What am I missing??

make sure you are spelling it correctly

/plugin mq2mage load

if you are getting invalid command on /plugin that means that mq2 isn't loaded

if you are getting "Plugin 'blah' could not be loaded."- then you are spelling it wrong or don't have it downloaded.
 
Strange, MQ2War, MQ2Shm, MQ2Mnk all working, just not this one
well which of the two things i mentioned are you getting?

if you are getting invalid command on /plugin that means that mq2 isn't loaded on that character

if you are getting "Plugin 'blah' could not be loaded."- then you are spelling it wrong or don't have it downloaded / unable to be accessed like antivirus holding files hostage or similar.

you said
it states its an invalid command
which leads me to believe you either don't have mq2 loaded on that character, you spelled "plugin" incorrectly, or you are mistaken in what it is telling you, but i need to know the answer to those things to help you

I'm getting "Plugin MQ2mage Could not be loaded"
 
I'm getting plugin could not be loaded.



I'm getting "Plugin MQ2mage Could not be loaded"
ok, yeah so #2

if you are getting "Plugin 'blah' could not be loaded."- then you are spelling it wrong or don't have it downloaded / unable to be accessed like antivirus holding files hostage or similar.


I would start by ensuring it is downloaded
then i would check that you don't have your antivirus holding any files hostage (you should consider exempting your mq / eq folders from them as it can severly impact performance plus cause launcher issues downloading things, plus cause the aformented "hostage" situation)

Well, not sure what happened after reinstalling all the plugins, and unloading all chars and rebooting the redguides launcher, it loaded up no problems. Thanks for the help!

you probably had one of the issues i mentioned a few times with your download and/or antivirus/defender.
 
is there a known issue with test server not auto inventoring summoned items? just getting back after 10 months or so and was going to try out mq2mage but he wont inventory summoned stuff. more than likely its something i am doing but for the life of me i cant figure out what it is.
 
I am getting a fairly regular crash with mq2mage, Where do I send dump files/logs/whatever you need for it? Crashes the entire client only on the one using MQ2Mage.

mq2 live, mq2test, next live, next test?
you can pm the mq2mage .dmp file to me and cwtn plz and we'll take a look

if on mq2 in either flavor (test or live) there are currently issues with things, most prevalent on mq2 test atm

for next live there is an issue with next and clickies, which *shouldt* cause a crash, and is already fixed for next and for the cwtn plugins for next next build
