Redguides and Sym bring you our newest plugin for testing.

MQ2Posse - Checks for PCs in a defined radius identifying them as friends or strangers

MQ2Posse allows you to create a friends list so any PC coming into range will be identified as a friend or stranger.
If a stranger is it identified you can run commands such as /endmacro
It also has several TLO's that allow you use MQ2Posse in your macros.

Commands
/posse - Lists command syntax
/posse on|off - Toggles checking of new pc's. Default is OFF
/posse status - Shows the current status and settings
/posse load - Loads ini file.
/posse save - Saves settings to ini. Changes DO NOT auto save.
/posse add NAME - Adds NAME to friendly list.
/posse del NAME - Deletes NAME from friendly list
/posse clear - Clears all char names.
/posse radius # - Sets check radius to # (ex: /posse radius 300).
/posse list - Lists current names and commands.
/posse notify on|off - Toggles notification alerts. Default is ON.
/posse friendnotify on|off - Toggles notification alerts for friends. Default is ON.
/posse strangernotify on|off - Toggles notification alerts for strangers. Default is ON.
/posse guild on|off - Toggles ignoring guild members, meaning guild members are invisible to all checks. Default is OFF.
/posse audio on|off - Toggles audio alerts. Default is OFF.
/posse testaudio - Test plays the audio alert.
/posse cmdadd "COMMAND" - Adds COMMAND that is executed when a stranger is near
/posse cmddel # - Deletes a command that is executed when a stranger is near

TLOs
${Posse.Status} - Returns enabled status as true/false
${Posse.Radius} - Returns size of check radius
${Posse.Count} - Returns how many total people in radius
${Posse.Friends} - Returns how many friends are in radius

Maskoi,
What would the command be to pause kissassist. It would be great to use Kissassist with AFKToolsOn=1 and have other toons out of group healing and buffing MA.
 
garland, as with any and all macro's to pause a macro it is /mqp to add to this kissassist is set to heal out of group should that be ur assist, an example of this my cleric and my shaman are not grouped up nor are they grouped together but they assist my tank which will always heal my tank then dps if it calls for it, also not that with the new version kissassist will buff everyone around u who uses kissassist macro, it will do the same with other macros if u include the include file but thats more technical for ur review. hope this helps
 
Yes, but I want to leave AFKTools on. So, my real question should have been how do I have MQ2Posse pause and the re-start kissassist if a non trusted toon comes to close.
 
kissassist utilizing the afktools=1 should automatically pause the macro after it has reached its current state automatically. for example if JOEDUNGCA is not on ur list and ur toons are fighting, it should continue to complete the fight in its normal routine then pause (HALT) until such time JOEDUNGCA is no longer within its radieus. also note that just cause u have campradius=20 it is dependeend on where the toon is actually at so ur casters/clerics which are normally behind the tank may have a different radius then that of ur tank, so ur tank may recieve the pause issue command but ur casters might not, then again i just gave an example. mq2posse can alos issue audio alerts if u want to define it, i have a special macro set on my tank, i dont use mq2posse cause my tank responds diffenetly. if there is a toon that is nearby it screams out a certain audio alert , if a gm shows up it pauses, kissassist wont respond to nothing unless my tank has engaged something. something u might want to look at
 
I understand all of that, and thanks for helping.

So reading between the lines; MQ2Posse is not capable of pausing and restarting Kissassist? My tank/puller is controlled by Kissassist so I need MQ2Posse to pasuse Kissassist instead of Kissassist pausing my puller.

it does using the /posse cmdadd "COMMAND" - Adds COMMAND that is executed when a stranger is near add the command /mqp or w/e but then again just cause one toon detected this and the plugin picked it up doesnt always mean that all ur toons picked it up and may continue. an example would be ur tank went to pull and I entered ur camp, ur macros will pause on whever the plugin picked it up and when the tank returns u got no support, my suggestion is have kissassist handle all the pasing and alloq posse \to just notify u. if you are affraid to AFK and dont want to risk it, just dont afk it at all. i afk mine most of the time have no issues, then again im set up differently with fidderent sceneraios/
 
Joe,
Thanks for the quick reply's, and advice on work around suggestions to my problems. Kissassist will not pause unless AFKTools is set to on. If I have AFKTools=1 and a toon out of group to heal or dps, then Kiss will pause because of my toon will appear to be a stranger. If I turn AFKTools off and allow MQ2Posse to pause upon stranger alert, what is going to restart the mac?


It looks like the short answer to my original question is NO. I understand the instructions on how to add trusted character names, how to set the radius to check for strangers, and how MQ2Posse can pause the macro if a stranger intrudes into my comfort zone. I understand each toon has it's own radius to check for strangers. A nodification will not work for my circumstances. So again I ask, Can MQ2Posse restart a macro that it has paused after the stanger has exited my comfort zone.
 
I too would like AFKtools to have a trusted PC list so if i bring 7 toons lets say extra DPS and a char in group to PL. that the outside character doesn't pause my macro. That would make me so happy.
 
By magic? Or do I need to know the secret handshake to get someone to give me the answer I long for?
 
/posse cmdadd "COMMAND" - Adds COMMAND that is executed when a stranger is near <--- theres the secret handshake... play with it... might get something back...

Dencelle, I have said numerous times that I can follow directions and use Posse to pause if a stranger approaches.

My question is: How do you get MQ2Posse to restart after the stranger leaves the defined radius?

It currently doesn't do that but I'll see about adding another command option that will.
 
That will be a little more difficult that I first thought. It's not really designed to pause a macro since pausing is a toggle and additional strangers will cause the pause to undo itself. It's more useful for ending a macro altogether as a panic button, but the real power comes from the TLO. Having a check in your macro to sit in an idle loop is the preferred way to "pause" a macro. Something like

Rich (BB code): 
:CheckStrangers
if (${Posse.Strangers}) {
    /delay 1s
    /goto :CheckStrangers
}

Thanks for the feed back. MQ2Posse is evolving still.

We created MQ2Posse for a new level of player detection to allow a more confident AFK experience. Sym has been working very hard to get all my ideas and tweaks into it. Why it is currently in beta.

MQ2posse will be fully integrated into the next version of KissAssist under the AFKTools.

Sym is lookng into a plugin function to pause/resume a macro running via the plugin and not the macro.

Keep your input incoming its very helpful.
 
if ur mainassist is one person u can have advance features set as i do. for example when people enter my camp i have an alarm that goes off, if they remain in the camp longer then what i set it for my tank issues a command to each individual person to pause there macro until such time the coast is clear once again this is one toon issuing commands. if in the event people are within my camp and the same people are detected my toons do different things like move arround or sit or talk in say brb, put up an akf but each of my toons do different things.
 
its a timer on random provided eqbc is issued on my tank, my tank does not use kissassist (BUT KISSASSIST IS AWSOME) the reason for this is my macro is capabvle of cutting corners, opening up doors going around things, but as stated my tanks macro was alot of improvement based on what my group can do and how it performs. kissassist uses LOS which for the most part this works great in out doors, as i use it in that sceneario. my tanks macro utilizes 7-12 different paths lining up when firsty statred it will pull a certain path, and each path has a dedicated time to attend, so path 1 can be set to 3 mins whereas path 5 can be set to 1 min, to eliminat bot looking the tank before it pulls a particular path it scans however many paths it has gone through thus switching paths to the nearest npc to the camp, so for example i got path 1, 2 3 4 5 6 in that order, if a mob in path 5 is closer to me it will skip path 1 in rotation and assume path 5 untiol such time it will then go back to its original spot. once again there is no predetermine order on the patyhs. as my setup is does not look like its being botted, aside from my tank Kissassist is ran by each and every toon i got so work with it cause its a damn good macro
 
I use kiss for every thing. All my toons run it. Tho the pulling with Los some times can be a pain. Some names I want are not in a Los to a safe spot. When that happensI pull by hand tho lol

yeah im rarely home, at one time we ran kissassist with my tank macro for 48 days straight non stop lol in the same camp
 
Yes it should but still in beta but will be adding soon. There have been some changes I haven't updated yet as well.

When I use mq2posse to check nearby strangers, it works perfectly.
But I have a question if some strangers close to my group mq2posse will alarm message "xxxx nearby", if someone leave have alarm message "xxxx leave" too
Is there TLO like ${Posse.Stranger.Name} ?
 
Almost nailed it

${Posse.Strangers} will be number of strangers

${Posse.StrangerNames} will be a list of names

Seen StrangerNames wasn't in the WIKI, so I just added it.
 
It is not doing anything on 4 of my computers. Not sure what changed or is it borked?
 
Well, it doesn't seem to be seeing any characters coming in and out of range. I remember seeing a message when people were to come within my set range, but I do not see that now. And because of this, nothing is working, like KA is not pausing, etc.
 
since the major patch certain plugins are defaulting to off regardless of there ini settings, just make sure posse is on then see what happens

That was it, Thanks so much.
 
I have noticed that when I use Posse the last couple of days, I have to unload/reload and then it will work with /posse on. but after a while, it simply stops working.
 
I've noticed posse not working. I have to reload it and then sometimes it works, but doesn't seem to truly be fully functional right now.
 
Anyone know if there is a command to add for Wizard to evac group out when someone approaches camp?

Just do /posse cmdadd /casting Exodus

Mine is actually this:

1 - /interrupt
2 - /casting Exodus
3 - /bct PULLERNAME //endmac

Puts you to zone and stops the puller from continuing actions.
