That was it. I just had to move away from the place I had set camp and I also updated my mesh. So in order for me to control two groups I will have to go into raid mode and use those raid hot keys to set camp. After that both of my groups should assist my main tank right? Thanks again!!

if you would go into raid mode, and they would assist your raid assigned "Raid MA" in your eq raid window after you told the plugin which raidassist you would like to assist

if you would go into raid mode, and they would assist your raid assigned "Raid MA" in your eq raid window after you told the plugin which raidassist you would like to assist

Ok, so I do the following:

1. On my warrior: /war RaidMode on
2. /war RaidAssistNum 1
3. And everyone else running CWTN plugins to have RaidMode on, and RaidAssistNum 1.
4. Obviously be in raid grouped.

Anything else I am missing?

did you open your everquest raid window, and assign your warrior as raid main assist in the everquest raid window?

your warrior, unless in an assist mode (not in a tank mode) doesn't care about raidassistnum

1. open everquest raid window "Alt-R"
2. Select the toon you want designated as the "raid assist"
3. click the "MainAssist" button

I am not sure why but my MainAssist button seems to be grayed out. Any ideas as to why?

did you select someone in your raid window first?

Love the addon and use it pretty much exclusively as puller/assist for my group and I had a thought. Whats the feasability of putting in an option so that, instead of dpsing till the mob is dead then heading off, instead to go and get the next mob when theres only 1 mob on the Xtar and that mob is at x% health with a box to select what x is? You can tweak X to your groups speed and distance to mobs etc, Alot of the downtime for my group is during the run out and back after each kill and when I used to play my monk as a legit puller i would gauge how fast we were killing things and pitch it so that i went out got mobs and got back just in time for the kill. I realise this may be a Dunning-Krueger situation where I dont know enough to know why what I'm asking is impossible or unecessary but if it can can lead to 30 to 50% more KPH I gotta aask

we have 0 plans on adding any sort of chain pulling.

stop playing like 1999 if you want to lower your downtime and increase your pulls you should consider having your tank in a huntertank mode and everyone else in chase.

Thanks for the tip about hunter/tank trying it now

 

[avolonsummers]

Hi Sic, yeah I have my tank targeted and I click on his name in the raid window and the button MainAssist seems to be grayed out.

I am on the Emu PEQ server not sure if that feature is disabled there.

I have set group roles as my warrior as the main assist or the main rank. Still doesn’t work. Even my monk who is in the same group as the tank isn’t assisting in raid.

None of the melee characters are assisting the main tank. I am in bastion of thunder by the earth guys and I have move around as there was a concern on pathing.

If I turn off mq2monk, mq2rogue and just use kissassist with mq2melee it seems like all the melee characters are assisting.

Any other ideas as to what could be going wrong? Thanks again.

are you the raid leader? you have to be the raid leader to do raid leader stuff.

I'd check on your emu to see if that is just something not available there.

emu's vary so widely that is why they are more or less "as is" for emu

Yeah I am definitely the raidleader. What else can I do for them to assist me pls?

if i had other suggetions i would have mentioned them

if you are in raidmode we use the raid assigned raid assist

if you are not in raid mode we use your group assigned main assist

if you don't have raid assigned raid assist on your emu, you would not be able to use raidmode to raidassist

Lol…actually I can try out raid assigned raid assist as I am in a raid with two full groups.

How do I set the raid assigned assist? Do I assign a number to my warrior tank and then select that number on rest of the characters?

Are there commands do set this across all my characters pls? Thanks.

are there two people using your account or something?

this is the very thing we've been talking about

where you said that you can't assign a raid assist in your everquest raid window - which means then you won't be able to use the raidmode with raidassist in the cwtn plugins

Oh sorry I thought you meant that I could use cwtn plugins to use the raidsssigned drop-down option.

But you are saying that I gotta first set my warrior as the main assist in the raid window in order to use the cwtn plugin raid mode unassigned raid assist.

No just me using this account lol.

What will happen if I set my melee chars as tank instead of assist? I will try that when I get home.

you can use the raidassist in the dropdown. but those would use the raidassist toons you have in the raid window... ya know the thing we've been talking about for a while now

to use raidassist # and raidmode in the cwtn plugins - the "raidassist" has to be an assigned Raid Main Assist in your EVERQUEST raid window

This is where we were discussing this before

Yeah, I got you bro. Thanks so much again. I will try to figure something out. May have to delete ini files and recreate them.

 

[avolonsummers]

So I set the melee chars as Tank in cwtn plugins and as soon as a mob comes in they all charge in.

How can I control the stick thou? Like I would like for them to hit from behind. It’s set to snap roll behind options but they just run infront of the mob and atk. Thanks.

you can't adjust the stickhow for tanking modes.

Just put your to MA's for each group in tank mode and set everyone else to assist without raidmode on. Then at least you'll only have 1 toon in each group in the mobs face. Though ideally you'd be able to assign an MA which would then be used by everyone to assist as opposed to having multiples in tank mode.

Gotchya. I will try that. I did noticed a bug on my shaman where it kept on casting shrink on the pet over and over until I turned off group shrink. After that it started buffing my guys.

 

[ChatWithThisName]

The bug doesn't occur on Live, and as mentioned before EMU is kinda a "If it works, then that's great, but otherwise not applying specific effort into the plugins for EMU"

The program is not using any of my new abilities that are 115+

I have made it to 119 and about to go into 120. I have my new tomes and all RKII memmed. I have my focus AA's up to date.

However every time I load in it is still not using the new stuff. Please help.

Howdy Cheops,

It seems you missed the stickied thread from a little while ago

https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/expansion-spells.79862/

Hey all,

If you are not on Next and you want to take advantage of the updates done for the new expansion you'll have to convert to using MQNext. Since redguides is transitioning to Next as their only build in the near future we started updating the new spells lists with the understanding that the Legacy version of Very Vanilla would no longer be supported at redguides, so opted not to update the spells for Legacy.

With that said all the spells have been updated. But only on Next. So when you're ready to enjoy the new expansions and the new abilities that come with it, you'll need to migrate to Next.

If you're not aware there is a MacroQuest Migration tool available to help you transition from Legacy to Next and get you moving in the right direction in short order. If just the overview for the resource for the migration tool isn't enough for you and you need a little bit more assistance you can always check out the guide done by Sic.

For those of you that were asking if the spells were updated for the new Expansion or reported issues with the plugins not casting new spells when manually memorized and are still using the Legacy version of Macroquest, we apologize for the inconvenience. We've been pushing to get people moved over to next to avoid issues like this and we don't want to leave you behind. So join us on the "Next" iteration of MacroQuest!


CWTN/Sic

tl;dr - Update to next

Okay I did the download with the Launcher and then got the migration tool to work. I walked some of my compatriots through the process. Thank you for the quick reply. Good Work

Possible to get Destructive Force added to AoE count ? My monk wont use destructive Force when there are 5 mobs in camp, and AoE count is set to 3. From what I know it's the best AoE damage

if you have usedestructive (and useaoe) on we use destructive force if your xtarget is equal or greater to your aoecount. change your aoe count if you don't want it to be 3.
if you have usedestructive and not useaoe, we use focused destructive force.


so sounds like you need to turn on useaoe.

> MQ2Monk Commands <
/monk UseAoE true/false/on/off/0/1 - Sets UseAoE to the provided value.
/monk AOECount ## - Use AoE at or above this number of mobs on XTarget

I am an idiot. Can't believe I didn't notice OR look that UseAoe wasn't on. Thanks Sic, happy holidays

 

[scoops420]

Perhpas I spoke too early. Use AoE is on, Use Destructive is on, & had multiple 3 pulls and won't use destructive. I even set UseAoE to 1 and won't use destructive. Also tried turning off UseDestructive in the chances that you coded it so that it will only fire on Burns.

it works as i mentioned, as part of the tier'd burn routine.

it isn't just willy-nilly fired.

Might want to check out the mq2monk overview as this is explained by like 1:00 in the video.

 

[scoops420]

I understand the video. Watched it in 2020. It seems to be this should be similar to Rampage for a warrior. Why can't I fire off an AoE ability without it being a burn? I'd be happy to tip well to make it use it similar to an AoE ability.

there is no "i will tip you if you do this".

this isn't an al a carte menu either.

and frankly pretty insulting.

it is part of the tier'd burn routine, and is going to remain that way.

 

[Sic]

Before I bother Sic / Chat, is anyone else getting their monk to pop Destructive or Focused Destructive?

Yep. Mine fires as expected

Wasn't sure where else to post this but since this is related to mq2monk, i figured i'd post it. I'm having issues with mq2monk puller assist. It will be working great for a while, then it will just stop pulling. It will say it is targetting a mob for pulling, but then it will walk up 100ft or so away and just look at the mob. Like i said, it works fine 90 percent of the time, but that extra 10 percent is what is making me scratch my head. The only thing that seems to fix it is a complete logout/login of eq. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

that's not really much information to go by. sounds like maybe you're somehow getting off-mesh, that's the only way we would just end up somewhere and then stand there not doing anything. I would check that you have a good mesh, and you're not falling off of it somehow.

alternatively I would check that this is a mob that you can actually pull and it isn't just standing there trying to distant strike something that isn't pullable - you can add anything you don't want to pull to your ignore list /monk ignore

What is the easiest way to check the mesh? I assumed it was because I was in a newer TOL zone, but the issue seems to have followed me to other older zones.

well if you're now saying you're having this all over the place, then it sounds like you have something *else* happening, and no idea what that something else would be. but if you wanted to check your mesh, the easiest way to see is by trying to nav to yourself /nav id ${Me.ID} (even easier than rendering the mesh). if you say "navigating to spawn: yourname" then you're on mesh.

/mnk debugpull on once would cycle once and you why the plugin isn't pulling if you're not pulling, but as to why you may stop while pulling and do nothing is a mystery to me. i do a good amount of farming with one of my monks in a puller role and haven't experienced this.

do you have any other automations that might be interupting? a react, Lua, macro, etc?

 

[justinh39443]

the only other macro i run simultaneously is Overseer, but i haven't seen affect anything other than my toons that run KA. I'll end that macro to see if there's a difference. Only time will tell. It's working 4.0 right now but will eventually the same issue occurs. This issue only seems to have started after i migrated to mqnext. I don't recall this issue using MQ2 .

 

[Jester22]

I feel dumb i couldn't find my answer on my on but my monk isn't pulling with distant strike like hes supposed too. Just running up and whacking stuff. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? He's 120 and should have everything he needs.

usually means a line of sight problem, either mob is under the ground, or we don't get LoS running up to the mob
