Plugin - MQ2Mage (1 Viewer) 3.1.52471.11

[Sic]

Please let me know if this has been addressed. I searched for the error ("The procedure entry point..." and skimmed the search results for "dll" and didn't see anything relevant.

My setup is slightly unusual in that 4 accounts have their own EQ folder, while 2 accounts share another EQ folder. The mage is one of the 4. The zerker is one of the 2. I only have one MacroQuest folder

I just installed MQ2Mage. I am using Next, and have been using MQ2Berzerker for a week or so with few problems. Now when I "/plugin mq2mage load", I get this error:

the procedure entry point ?RemoveBuffEffect@PCZoneClient@EQClasses@@QAEXHH@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library xxxMQPluginsPath\mq2mage.DLL

I did get a similar error with MQ2Berzerker, googled the error and followed a few of the suggestions, one of which (admin cmd -> scf/scannow) appeared to fix it. It didn't help with the mage plugin.

I tried putting xxxMQPluginsPath into the system path, still no luck.

This is windows 10, up to date. I ran all the optional updates in case there was a driver / graphics problem. I have 211gb free disk and as far as I know, no RAM problems.

I've attached my server_toonname.log for the last session and also the MacroQuest log.

A little extra background. I'm setting up a new Windows 11 computer, but I don't know if Win 11 will be a problem for EQ, MQ, or the CWTN plugins. I'm willing to just abandon the effort to set up this plugin on my old computer for the time being, as regular KA is working ok and that would be fine for a month or so.

I don't want to move my EQ play on to the new machine until the 64-bit version of EQ forces me to. While I'm working on getting EQ running on the new computer, I'd like to keep playing on the old one.

you can't use mq2 .dlls in mq "next".

it looks like you manually copied over the mq2 file to your next directory - you can't do that. it will not work.

your "did a scanf" thing didn't have anything to do with it. the error message just simply means the dll you're trying to use doesn't match the mq version.

> Stickied Thread about "next" licenses <
Next licenses sync ever 4 hours, 6 times a day. if you purchase a new license or renew an existing one, it takes between 0 and 4 hours for that to "sync" and give you access to the "enxt" license.

tl;dr - sorry for the troubles, use the launcher, when the launcher is able to download the next version of the plugin, the plugin will load; don't try and copy around files or mix/match.

Ah. So how do I run the CWTN plugins?

 

[Sic]

Ah. So how do I run the CWTN plugins?

for mq "next" as i mentioned, the licenses sync 6 times a day, ever 4 hours. so new purchases and renewals you have to wait until the server syncs that information, and then it will be accessible on the launcher.

 

[Lidori]

Got it! Thanks much, I should have realized it was something very simple, since no one else reported anything like this problem. There's never only one :P

 

[Sic]

while you're waiting don't be shy and have a look at the > Getting Started With CWTN Plugins < so you can hit the ground running.

 

[Sic]

@annepruitt your next licenses are already active, so it is just a matter of updating on your launcher.

This plugin works so well sometimes I think MQ2Zerker is broken lol.

Seriously though, I notice it wont cast my BP clicky unless I have Use Melee on. I would like it to click without entering melee. Is this a me thing?

and yes, your bp depending on where you put it (like offensive), would fire when in combat fighting.

if you add it to burn you don't need to be in melee
You can see addclicky information > HERE <

you can see on one of my poo tester mages (lul in conflag)

 

[Chibz]

Thanks as always! I had tried adding the BP to downtime clickies but it didnt seem to work. I will add it to burn clickies!

 

[Sic]

downtime absolutely does not require melee to be on. and downtime is "Downtime - when we're downtime (not fighting, not invis), and we are missing the buff from the item." so i suspect you don't want it during downtime anyhow =p

 

[Fyrepheonix17]

I was in the new Maidens Eye and my pet would stay on the mob it kept back off and my mage wouldn't use any spells or abilities and I'm wondering why are there any suggestions @Sic @ChatWithThisName ? Or anyone that uses the mq2 plugin for mage ?

 

[Sic]

well first, you could post mq2mage questions in the mq2mage thread.

sounds like you need to adjust your settings.

you're not going to fight stuff outside of your camp, and since you're backing your pet off it sounds like that is the case.

Even in manual mode ?

 

[Sic]

Even in manual mode ?

you said mq2mage was backing the pet off, which would mean you're in a mode that does that, or you're not assigned as the MA (which means you'll need a merc or something so you can be MA --- or no MA, but using /mag usemelee on)

your post read like this is a brand-new issue with the new xpac.

have you use mq2mage before? as in familiar with how it works and are posting because you think some behavior is different? (no behavior has been changed with regards to the things thusfar discussed)

the plugin needs some means to know "hey this is a mob that i do, in fact, want to be fighting." if we just willy nilly started nuking everything or sending pet on everything you targeted in manual mode, it would be bad times for everyone.

I use it but I usually have a tank tanking instead of my pet

OKI messed around with it and my healer merc still can't keep up my pet I don't cast heals on my pet when hes low and I don't Dd like I'm supposed to in manual mode what am I doing wrong

I have me set to ma and merc on reactive ?

I don't know about your healer merc, but it sounds like you may be trying to do content that is above the abilities of your setup with just you, your pet, and your merc if your merc can't keep up with your pet.

if you are in a tanking mode (or assigned as group main tank), you will memorize your pet heal - but you won't if you're in manual mode and/or not assigned as main tank.

since you mentioned a real tank previously, i suspect you're going to get much more use using that real tank setup, and letting your mage be in an assist mode off of that tank

So a mage can't solo in ToL with the plugin atm ?

?

I'm not sure you digested what I posted.

a: sounds like you don't have your things configured correctly
b: sounds like you're not really familiar with how the plugin works, particularly the limitations of solo and manual mode combined.
c: there is nothing that says "if im in ToL then act differently"

thats not a plugin question, thats a mechanics of new xpac question.. :-/

OK so how do I get my mage to heal pet when needed and to dd the mobs I pull and have pet stay on the mob ?

if you are in a tanking mode (or assigned as group main tank), you will memorize your pet heal - but you won't if you're in manual mode and/or not assigned as main tank.
then you would adjust your heal value.

I've also already mentioned that, and i mentioned the part about the other things as well which is why i said i don't think you're digesting what I'm saying.

I 100% recommend using that tank you mentioned you normally run with.

I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for here trying to do manual mode and solo.

No I guess I'm not understanding I just don't get why even as even as MA and MT my mage is acting so weird

you might find that another tool might be better suited for your needs.

as i mentioned i don't think trying to manual mode and being solo is going to be able to meet your current needs.

So how can I solo Sic? My sk is preoccupied leveling people to 120 I wanted to solo on my mage since she was the first 120 toon on test I want to see what she can do now

we're like 15 replies deep at this point, i already merged 3 of your responses after moving your post from the wrong section, i've also repeated myself a few times at this point.

I don't have an answer for you.

I don't think this is going to meet your current needs as i've now mentioned several times.

you should consider not being in manual mode and/or not being solo.

 

[Sic]

there isn't a magic 1 press button that magically does all of the things in a magical flawless manner, these plugins aren't going to necessarily meet all of the needs of all of the people all of the time. While it does handle solo/manual mode things, it is limited as they are boxing utilities designed for boxing, a melee character is a little more straight forward, because if your melee attack is on we know you intend on fighting it - which is why, as i mentioned, if you turn on *your* melee attack you would start doing stuff as well (since you're in manual mode).

obviously, that is probably not the perfect ideal scenario, but that is how it functions, that is how the tool is designed. no amount of "But sic, I'm asking for an answer that you won't give me" can make it magically now do something different that i've already mentioned, or make it do something that either the tool, or the user is incapable of doing

in this case, as mentioned, i don't think it is going to meet your needs in the way you would like it to

I'm sorry it isn't meeting your needs

*get good*.. all the tools on RG's are that... tools.. they do what you tell them, to a highly effecient degree.. but they take whats avaible.. your not saying this skill/ability or logic chain is broken.. just that i *cant* im not on test and maybe come wed or thur ill be like f**k.. and im not a solo person so might be missing out.. i still dont see this as a plugin issue as much as a new content issue? :-/

mage + merc
set mage to role main assist
set mage to mode vorpal
target a mob, tell pet to attack
sometimes the mage targets himself, you have to retarget the mob to continue nuking

well yeah, again, fyre wants to be in manual mode /shrug. Not sure why you're suggesting vorpal as there are more appropriate modes to be in here, like tank, or sictank mode

as i mentioned before if fyre was in tank mode it would also memorize the heak spell they said they wanted to use, and treat the pet as the tank including for engagement, but fyre insists on being in manual mode

What about puller tank ?

 

[Sic]

What about puller tank ?

what about puller tank? did you try it and had a question or just thinking out loud or ?

yes, puller tank does puller tank stuff - again, not manual mode. which you just skimmed past the other things i said so not really super inclined to keep responding at this point.

but yes, puller tank does pullertank stuff. that is almost certainly more useful than manual mode.

 

[Sic]

one shining star in this convo, is there does appear to be an issue using "sic tank" mode, so that i'll get fixed up

 

[Fyrepheonix17]

OK I tried that and that might work if I could get my pet to live I keep dieing

 

[Sic]

@Fyrepheonix17 please absolutely don't start PMing me on top of all the time i've spent replying to this thread.

use pullertank mode if you want to pull and then tank.

I mentioned being in not-manual mode a few times. maybe give that a try?

Well u are making out to look like some sort of stupid person and I am not I am just trying to get a better grasp on things and how I can more efficiently solo on my mage. So maybe instead of making me feel stupid why don't you be more what's the word someone who uses lamens terms.

Please do your testing in a lower level zone.

Once you get the scenario that you want working, move back to whatever zone you want.

I'm not out to make anyone look stupid. I'm sorry if i made you feel that way.

you keep blazing past my responses and frankly have worn me a little thin.

you don't seem super interested in my responses and you just "want it to work".

me repeating myself over and over is not great.

since we're talking about how we feeli don't feel like you're listening to me, value my time, input, or passion for trying to deliver the best product and service and help i possibly can, and i feel you are just completely disregarding the help.
