Release MQ2RelayTells

Teichou · Aug 3, 2012

MQ2Relaytells -by Sadge is a plugin that will relay any incoming tell a character receives to a chat channel you specify (default /bc for EQBC). You can relay tells to either an email account or text message using the BLAT win32 command line email utility. You can also filter out messages you don't wish to relay using settings in the INI file.

Commands

Rich (BB code):

/relayhelp - Displays current settings and other command info.
/relaymailhelkp - Displays current mail relay settings.
/relayload Reloads - the INI file settings.
/relaycustom <text> - Adds <text> to the custom filter section of the INI file and will not relay any tells that include <text>.

Ini file settings

Rich (BB code):

ChatChannel: Defines what channel to relay tells to.
ChannelMessage: Custom message given when relaying tells.
RelayTellsInGame: Toggles if you wish to relay the tells in game or not.
RelayAFKMessage: Toggles the relay of the auto-AFK responses from tells.
RelayTraderTells: Toggles the relay of trader tells.
RelayPetTells: Toggles the relaying of any pet tells.
RelayPetAttack: Toggles the relaying of pet attack messages.
RelayPetSuspend: Toggles the relaying of pet suspend messages.
RelayPetMezzed: Toggles the relaying "Cannot wake" pet messages.
RelayNPCTells: Toggles the relaying of NPC tells
RelayToMail: Toggles the relaying of tells to email.text messages (using blat program).
EmailTo: Destination address for the relayed tell mail.
EmailFrom: Custom address for the sender of the relayed tell mail.

MQ2Relaytells is awesome.

Anyone know if there is a way to make it so my toon doesn't stop moving for a second when I get a message? it has gotten me killed a couple times.

This is just a guess based on the MQ2Notify plugin I wrote (It's on the MQ2 Forums), but you'd probably have to re-write the plugin to complete the notification asynchronously. I have a similar issue with that one. It sends the message synchronously, which means it can lock up the UI until the message is either sent, or fails.

ddeq1 · Feb 9, 2018

I was having this happen to me as well. Extremely Frustrating. Try this command and see if it does what your looking for as it did for me. /Flash off

This had been working, with tell windows, until recently. I had done some directed marketing in General channel over the past few days and noticed it wasn't working anymore. I played around with turning tell windows off and reloading the plugin and didn't make a difference.

Many Thanks!

LrdDread · Jan 5, 2020

I'm still not having any luck with this...

Till recently, a patch or 2, this had been working for me with tell windows enabled.

What I've tried so far...

Unloading and Loading plugin
Turning tell windows off, then unloading and loading plugin
Turning tell windows off and on, each time trying the /relayload command
Deleted my MacroQuest.ini and letting it rebuild the aliases (that was fun since I hadn't used the builder since joining RG! There some minor details to that step I had forgotten!)
Deleted all the relaytell.inis and unloaded/reloaded plugin to let it rebuild them.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Can this be configured to use MQ2Gmail?
GMail uses oauth2, so I do not think I can use username/password in this config

freeferli · Jun 10, 2020

I was having an infinite messages problem, but I fixed it.

If you have a message like this

ChannelMessage= sent ${Me} a tell that said:

Then you need to add a [CustomTell] like this to filter out the messages that are getting relayed.

Tell2=a tell that said

Ottotto · Jul 25, 2020

Has anybody an idea if it is possible to setup with MQ2Dannet?
I tried to change the ChatChannel=/bc
/bc only responds to all in the same channel
/dga or /dga /echo would respond to all active channels but I don't get that to work.

Ottotto · Jul 25, 2020

arrrg..
sorry guys, solved it:

ChatChannel=/dga /echo

with e.g.

/dga rtsetkey ChatChannel=/dga /echo

and this is necessary to work:

/relayload Reload

Lugnut · Feb 20, 2021

I'm struggling to get this set up to send a text. Here is the ini file:

INI:

[Settings]
ChatChannel=/bc
ChannelMessage= sent ${Me} a tell that said:
RelayTellsInGame=TRUE
RelayAFKMessage=FALSE
RelayTraderTells=FALSE
[Pet]
RelayPetTells=FALSE
RelayPetAttack=FALSE
RelayPetSuspend=FALSE
RelayPetMezzed=FALSE
[NPC]
RelayNPCTells=FALSE
[Mail]
RelayToMail=TRUE
EmailTo=<myverizoncellnumber>@vtext.com
[email protected]
Subject=Tell Received
Server=smtp.gmail.com
UserName=<mygmail_login>
Password=<mygmail_ pw>
[/CODE

Suggestions?

Knightly · Mar 1, 2021

If I recall correctly, relaytells relies on an extra program (which I think is no longer maintained) to send text messages. Probably use another plugin for that component. I just use mq2discord with push notices.

JerkChicken · Mar 1, 2021

Blat has not seen much love, but it should still work in very basic environments
Unfortunately GMail is not a basic environment. Here are a few problems you will run into:

-- GMail is a real pain in the arse to make work with simple SMTP login. Think they call it Less Secure Auth or Legacy Auth.. Even with less secure I do not think they allow non TLS/SSL connection. Given the age of Blat I doubt it would support the needed levels of encryption.
-- vtext.com is limited. It is a low limit. If you send too many in a short period they drop future attempts for like a day. You do not get a bounce back, it just never gets sent.

MQ2Discord can be finicky to setup but once you do its great. Push notification on your phone and you can respond back. I've chatted with guildies while mowing the lawn.

Ravyns · Apr 14, 2021

How do I make this work with a regular chat channel? i.e. I made a password protected channel but anything I put in the ChatChannel setting other than /bc doesn't work.

I tried ChatChannel=/MyChatChannel and I tried ChatChannel=MyChatChannel but result in "Couldn't parse /MyChatChannel..." and "Couldn't parse MyChatChannel.." respectively.

Any examples of using this with something other than /bc ?

Needs to be an actual chat channel. IE: /g, /gu, /fsay, /say, /1, /2, /bc, /bca, /bct mytoonsname, etc.

You can't just /SuperDuperChatChannelThatIMadeUpButDoesn'tReallyExist

Ah ok, so if I make a chat channel with /join MyChatChannel:SomePassword I would have to use the /# where # is whatever was assigned to that channel I think. Though, I wonder, if the number is persistent enough to be the same every time I log out and back in.

Thanks for the other list of options, I wasn't sure how do go about using other channels anyway, so that was helpful.

Tebus · Jan 24, 2023

Good evening,

Just want to confirm, ChatChannel=/dga /echo is the correct INI entry for Dannet, and what in-game channel will the tells show up in? I'd like to get tells forwarded from my 6 toons to my drivers /g channel is my goal.

Thanks,
T

Going to bump this just one time.

Trying to have toons relay incoming tells to a single driver toon. The tells I do receive get lost in other chats.

best I can tell there is a build in option to watch for tells that will relay it to bc, which is to say it would just put it in the chat channel of EQBC (doesn't issue any commands) this is the same as typing /bc hello.
While all members on the EQBC could see this message, assuming you're running all the characters that should be acceptable under normal circumstances.

Try /bccmd set tellwatch true

Could I get some help with this. I got the channel added.. /Character name. All toons joined it. Set each ones Ini file the same. Sent one a tell and this is what I get out.

Any chance at help on this one? Or did I do something so obviously wrong that all just not willing to tell me?

Crash · Aug 25, 2024

I have moved to dannet and I haven't got this working yet. Is there help for Dannet? I just want it to relay to my MQ chat window or anywhere.

Have you tried:

ChatChannel=/dt

ChatChannel=/dgt

If you want all your toons to see it.

EQStreamz · Jan 5, 2025

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have read every link regarding DanNet and RelayTells.
I want anyone in my group to send a tell to my main anytime they get a tell with dannet echo. I can get them to send messages to each other and get a correct messages.

I am not sure if I am screwing up DanNet or RelayTells TBH

I have DanNet and RelayTells freshly unload/reload, I send a tell to a from one alt to another alt, I do not see it in dannet if not part of the tell window itself.

It is likely something simple I screwed up.

I just want to log in and if any character gets a tell or other send my main a tell with the info.....

Darkwynd3 · Jan 10, 2025

I'm probably missing something obvious, but is there an in game command to update the chat channel, or do you have to manually edit every character's ini file?

Make sure the plugin is loaded on all toons first.

I tested it last night and received the same error you did when the plugin was not loaded. Once loaded, it worked.

EDIT - I also was receiving multiple spam tells once it was setup and found this post above - https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/mq2relaytells.66881/post-418638. Just to clarify it for folks that may wonder exactly what the poster meant, you need to add the line below to each of the ini's manually to add these lines at the bottom;

INI:

[CustomTells]
Tell1=a tell that said

or use the command

INI:

/relaycustom a tell that said
