MQ2Mage

Plugin - MQ2Mage 3.1.52471.11

I tried with both the level 1 and level 2 basically all the ones you would use in the tutorial and they do this. Same ones out of tutorial don't change, but the next pet I got out of the tutorial worked fine. :shrug:
 
Hello,

This plugin looks amazing.

Would it be overkill for a Mage on an emu server where PoP is the last expansion the server goes to?

Thank you!
 
I have a some problems with giving a summoned weapons, with multiple mages in grp.
So, I have em(2/3 mages) "SelfPetWeaponsOnly OFF".
Only one is giving weapons, to others("SelfPetWeaponsOnly ON".)
but still I have issue with when it tries to give weapons for enchanter charmed creatures.
They don't want em(for reasons I don't know, it won't quit offering em. It's kinda verbose, and I don't like it saying that all the time.
So, I had to put last mage that was handing over pet weapons off too...
Not a huge issue, just wanting to ask, if is theres a fast fix(or read the F***** manual) case in this?

Unfortunately some charmed pets have issues, and won't. We won't try and give something to a pet that already says it has a primary and secondary weapon ID.

Would suggest either not charming those mobs, or doing what you're doing
 
i'm terrified to even post this, but i need an answer to feel complete. i've used search, and read all the things, and i'm still coming up empty, but it seems like a problem that someone else would have reported, so there is a very good chance my google-fu is trash and if that's the case, i sincerely apologize.

i can't get iceflame barricade rk ii to cast. if sic reads that sentence, i hope his bp doesn't spike with another mention of barricade. it's not spamming the spell, it simply never casts.

mage is gold. he reports having the rk ii spell. spell is not blocked on pet. using default ui so assuming/hoping pet window isn't causing issues. pet window is visible. all other plugin pet buffs work/land. i am not using BYOS. i can manually cast the spell and it will land. i tried blocking iceflame barricade w/ and w/o a space to idk, say i tried things, but the mage still refuses to cast the spell (yes, i double checked that nothing was blocked after blocking random things). tried switching to different modes. still no barricade.

if someone would show me what i screwed up and how to fix it, i can delete this post before sic has to see barricade mentioned again.

Lol this darn spell

You're gold with rank 2 as the spell, but it never casts?

Lemme see if mine is casting it as expected.

In the meantime can you share your blocked buffs? You can just open the file and copy paste the whole thing

Thanks, can you unload and reload the plugin and snip what it says for iceflame barricade
 
yep - definitely not casting it.

and yep found the problem

1691171414516.png

absolutely wild that no one else reported it - but it hasn't (or shouldn't have been able to) casting iceflame for anyone

i'll patch and toss up a build here shortly, if you don't mind to confirm this fixes for you later i'd appreciate it
 
Being the slacker that I am, I didn't have this spell. I purchased, scribed and updated MQ2Mage. It's not casting for me.
 
My apologees for the lack of info. Rank I and I have no spells/buffs blocked on pet.
 
Took a minute, I needed to grab rank II spell unlocker from marketplace. Scribed rank II and no change.
Wasn't great trying to get a 119+ mage with just rank 2, since mine are rk III, but casts as expected

Would double check your blocked pet buffs, that you're using most recent build (and i'll double check the build built with the latest --- i did only rebuild live fyi)
 
@timmy hollar and lemme know you're all good with iceflame.

I appreciate you letting me know it was an issue
 
Works like a champ. I gave your post about the required rebuild rebuilding a like earlier. It’s a veritable bonanza of barricades in my neck of Norrath ~
 
This is a very good plugin but really hope this gives the rest of the pet gear to pets, especially muzzles. While I really love this capability to give out weapons, but it doesn't feel that useful if it isn't going to do muzzles or other gear. So far, that's my #1 request for the plugins so far since I'm running a full pet box setup.

Focus negated need for it.
 
Enhanced minion. Mage pets come pre equipped with a lot of the summoned items, other pet classes do not.
Well that doesn't really make sense then because the plugin hands weapons to all pets in the group as well so I think it would be really helpful to do the other armor, especially muzzle / girdle to the other pets at the least. Preferably everything.

Mage pets on live, in current content, do not use all that other stuff. Yes, they'll take weapons, because you can choose which proc weapon to hand them, but the mage summoned armor is NOT an upgrade for the mage's pet. They did this as a QOL so you wouldn't have to spend so much time dressing your pet after every death. They didn't do it for other classes so as to keep them dependent on mages for the summoned gear.

We have no plans on doing that
 
That's unfortunate. Hopefully it gets added to the backlog. It's such a massive QoL boost. Thanks for your contributions.
You read the part about modern content it doesn't do anything right?

Unfortunately, unlike weapons, theres no way to said "hey shitmonster do you have a breastplate".

That's only relevant for mage pets right? If you run extra pets in the group, like SK/shm/mag/nec/bst/enc, etc. then you have to hand everything but weapons over. That's actually interesting. There's a way to validate weapons in hands but can't validate other pet gear? Would make sense, but I haven't seen the available data so good to know.

Correct you can not, which is why i said you cant. :P

Which means a lot of false negatives, including after each time you zoned (spawn ids change when you zone).

It would be pretty cool if pets had a buff on them if they had those sort of things then we could just check for the buff and if they don't have a buff then we give them the armor piece, But unfortunately that's not how it is.

The reason why you can see what weapons something has because they're are visual items even if you see them or not the spawn information will tell you what ID is the thing in their primary or their secondary.

We don't get the information for anything else in their inventory so if somebody gave gabartik "awesome blue lollipop shoes of destruction" We would have no idea that we don't need to give gabartik "summoned sandals of coolness"

Thanks for the info. That sucks. An option could be to add an interactable button or command to do it on demand like /mag coth, but with all pet gear. I know there's a macro that sort of does this but I haven't tried it yet. Going to try it later. Might be good enough.
 
Mage tries to hand out the rainbow swords on my 115 mage. The ones that reduce threat and don't proc dmg. He won't give out the increased rage one but will try to hand out the reduce threat ones. Not sure if this is intended but I'm assuming not?
