Release MQCollectionManager

I'm curious on what you describe here, are you saying after finishing off an entire set or expansion it displays something still needed? when you say database, there really isn't a database per se, basically its getting all your character information from the achievements window.
but I have had a lot of problems with the delay that EQ has in updating that window, sometimes it takes a second other times it will take up to 30 secs or more. I'm wondering on the big ones like full completion if its taking a long time and needing you to manually refresh the expansion?

Thanks for the info.
i chalk it up to me swapping characters frequently but for instance on at least two of the collections as i finished them in the tracker, i never got the carnival prizes so i had to open up the /ach/collection and hunt through to see if i was missing anything. its usually a collection or two tops, sometimes just one or two items. I mean since i picked this thing up, its been my primary focus. I JUST collect all day every day, and oh btw im also 6 boxing on the PC with all 6 of them running it. Maybe theyre crossing wires. But the plugin never shows more than i need which would be more likely since their collections are pretty virgin. IF they were crossing ghostbuster streams.

I dont think thats my ROF issue though

ROF im currently showing as completed in the plugin, but i THINK since its the first collection expansion it throws some achievements under collects to get the collection credit
The Depths of Fear has 8 components that are achievements like lessor and full hero (anyone know if i need all of those achievements to complete ROF collection?)
Stalking Fear (which is only avail if you had the collectors edition so not sure if it counts towards the collection ach or not, but forums indicate it didnt impact)
Dark Secrets (4 items of which im missing 2 which look like mini collects of 1 item)

Overall right now im down to 46 items needed of which ill likely not get the anniversary completed but this tracker is extremely wonderful even if its either got a glitch on a couple reads through user error (ME) or something funky with me overworking it haha

From a technical aspect i think it has to have some kindof cache as its reading 3k items/locs/prices so even if its pinging my collections achievement, it seems like it needs to store it elsewhere in order to do the real estate mapping and price checking, since the prices/seller do stay with the item search results until i refresh.

The only feature Id love to see would be a way to sort the table by the closeness of a particular collection to be completed. Just for eye strain haha:)

like some form of "count" on the unique collection name driven by the missing items list and then sort the collections by anything less than say 3. Then you have a table for easy collection finish targets if you are using this to level up more surgically:) Its easier as you get less collections/items but for a while there it was a task to sift through looking for one offs i could finish with an overseer or bazaar trip to get another 2% hit;)

edited to add a pic - pretty sure ROF is going to be how that expansion structured.

regardless - i love all my plugins and CWTNs - but if youre like me and like to hunt and kill things on spreadsheets (i mean i was sorting baseball cards on my bed by team and position and player 40 years ago so this tracks) - this plugin is so worth the buy. So thank you for putting the work in and adding a way to refine a part of the game that i hadnt touched because i didnt want to jump down the rabbit hole to manually track these or fill out excel sheets. Like seriously:) Thank you!!

So I should clarify, it does keep tables internally for that scan. so basically when you select the expansion and hit "check achievs" it looks at your achievements window and builds a table, once it has the table then it's using that internally as it scans through your real estate or the bazaar .. etc. if you hit "check achievs" again it wipes the tables and builds again on any changes in the achievements tab.

did you try the feature at the bottom1706807007142.png
if you click that it will give you the last of the set, so if its down to the final collect. I could maybe set that as a slider or something, so you could select 3 and then hit the button and it would show you any with less then 3?
there's a couple collects in RoF that have an issue, because they have duplicate names but it sounds like you got past those, and then there was one set that you got the collects through questing I think.

I have the main achiev completed on all 15 of my testers, and they all show these 2 individual ones not complete:
1706807304598.png
the 1 requires the collector version of expansion, and the first I think is the one that takes questing.(but isn't needed for the overall achiev.

hey and good afternoon! :) I figure weve had some large things on radar so i havent gotten back here yet. That filter last only appears on the real estate tab but ill see what i can get it to do. BUT i have one of the funky items. This is a different character than my "main" that the prior pic was for. Hes just working on LS. yesterday he needed 15. Today i logged in and it was 8. Then i hit the check achievements and it reduced it to 2.

But the side by side has 4 open items just in these 3 sets. Its the damnedest thing:) I think it has to do with boxing but cant figure it out yet.

so i ran the the filter last run on the real estate side
initially it filtered to the 13 items i did need but the flip bazaar side didnt update (stayed at 2)
this morning i logged in and its showing the proper 13 on the bazaar side (where i do most of my work hunting the bazaar - BTW with regards to the other ogre in the room i run this searching bazaar pretty continuously, multiple times a day and so far all goood)
but the filter button i think worked in some fashion. if i hit this again ill run filter and log the account in and out and see what i see;)
right now its just coincidence if im applying scientific method! But i did see an effect

thanks again!
 
the filter button is of the direct list, so if you filter on one or the other would only affect the one list.(Ie- just the real estate list)

I tried across my 14 accounts to get them out of sync from the achievements window and couldn't. I'm glad you tried the real estate tab, I was going to ask what it showed you for the ones it shows missing.

Though it really makes no sense why one would show 2 and the others all, its using the same function to retrieve the achievements, its just a matter of it showing the already collected ones or not.
 
Can any of my toons who has access to the same housing use the same house to store collectibles?
yes absolutely, they just have to have high enough rights to pickup and drop items. I usually just set mine to co-owner.

But I do this exact thing, I have 7 houses now with certain expansions on each. I just give rights to my entire fellowship or the toon directly and bring them on the plot to collect.
 
Hey - so I just bought 50, parcel vendor filled up, and i clicked them all using the tool, so I should have ~50 found. When I re-click Check achievs it still says 0/2500 or whatever found. Am I doing something wrong?

if your on the Bazaar tab, and you do a scan its only showing collects you need. so the first time you probably had 0/2550. then you scanned and bought the 50 that filled your parcel. after you collected, you re-scanned which removed those 50 because you already have them show now 0/2500.
so it went from 0/2550 to 0/2500. not sure if that makes since or not.
 
had this crash like 5 times in about 20 mins. Was just sitting in the guild town pulling collectibles out of a house

@Trapper easy fix, it is trying to get the name of an achievement when achievement is nullptr
 
Trapper updated MQCollectionManager with a new update entry:

queueing enhancements and cleanup for overseers

1.27 Added LS overseer names.
1.28 Add Overseer queueing and cleanup timing on overseer action.
1.29 Change filtering from last 1 to any amount.
1.30 Add overseer Queueing of all filtered Items.
1.31 Fix some timing and clearing of queue if issue.
1.32 Fix NoS names Ruins of Shadow Haven, Shar Vahl, Divided, Paludal Depths, Shadeweaver's Tangle

Read the rest of this update entry...
 
Ran 14 alts through almost 4000 collects to max everyone's AA's for the expansion. figured I'd type up the flow I found worked best for me.

first I select all expansions and go to each property I have with collects, and do collect all.

second I select the expansions that have Overseer capable
1733530244446.png
I then trim the list starting with 1 or 2.
1733530338255.png

then I do a bazaar search with an ok amount for me
1733530275560.png
once done I go to the parcel guy, retrieve all and then click the "Click All" button.
third, I then select "Queue all overseer"
1733530444888.png

then I sit there and watch:
1733530475121.png

once its done, I re-scan and trim to 1 number higher. and repeat. I had about 300 overseer available along with all my real estate and bazaar at 1000pp to get that many AA. but was pretty quick.

one big warning is to make sure you have AAspend turned on, I forgot on a couple shm and wasted a few 1000 aa from being max aa.
 
It appears that mqcollectionmanager is not working with the latest update. attempting to load /cm gui and the mqoverlay pauses due to an ImGui error

ImGui Critical Failure: Calling PopID() too many times!
Plugin IMGui has been temporarily paused. To resume imgui, run /mqoverlay

If I unload mqcollectionmanager all goes back to normal.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks, I have been working on this all morning.. I believe I have it fixed but will need rebuild to push it out.
 
It wont even let me load the plugin. says my version is from december.
Did your license expire?

> Check this link <
If you have already checked the RG Launcher Plugin Tab then read the following:
- The RG Launcher is unable to *delete* old files.
-- This means you will get an error box if you don't have a current plugin that matches the mq build
-- your options are:
--- a: purchase a license
--- b: delete the old .dll in your plugin folder, and/or
--- c: change your macroquest.ini to MQ2PluginName=0 under [Plugins]
 
Release MQCollectionManager
