Question - My bard keeps restarting the melody/twist when a mob dies. How can I play a melody forever?

[alphachimp]

Whenever I kill something, the bard retarts the melody. How can I play forever? I don't want the melody to restart when a mob dies.

Kissassist would not be the right tool for that.
Did you try to leave TwistMed, TwistWhat void and Twiston=0 and Meleetwiston=0 and just use a hotbutton with /melody?

Kissassist is designed to use different melodies depending on the actual situation.
So when the situation changes it starts the melody defined for this situation.

Is that what you're referring to?

TwistOn=1
TwistMed=9
TwistWhat=1 2 4 5 6 9 3 11

Kissassist is designed to use different melodies depending on the actual situation.
So when the situation changes it starts the melody defined for this situation.

I was thinking of just using a melody, but if the bard gets stunned or silenced it won't start playing again automatically.

Yes. I want that melody to play continuously forever. Regardless or combat or not combat. If I pull 5 mobs, I don't want to restart my twist when one of them dies.

there was a thread like this I think

think they found something in the end.

Thanks, that helps. Same exact issue. I'm debugging.

Commenting our the CaseBardCheck works. Songs do not stop between fights. The downside is it my bard never casts buffs (like Rapier of Somber Notes).

[CODE title="SUB: CombatReset"]if (${IAmABard}) {
/varset DPSTwisting 0
|-/call CastBardCheck |- comment this out
/call DoBardStuff
}[/CODE]

But I'd rather have songs keep playing so I'm happy enough.

 

[ColdSimon]

Have you tried MQ2Medley @alphachimp?

I use KA and Medley on my 125 bard and it works like a charm. It doesn't stop songs between fights and it clicks items like RoSN for you.

Utility - MQ2Medley

Song scheduler for the modern bard. Known issues: * -targetid is not %100 reliable. works most of the time for me, but under some circumstances may not work. This plugin grew out my frustration with MQ2Twist and it being hard to change from...

[alphachimp]

Yeah I prob should look at that.

}[/CODE]

But I'd rather have songs keep playing so I'm happy enough.

I commented out the following block in InitData

| /if (${IAmABard}) {
| /if (!${TwistOn}) {
| /varset TwistWhat 0
| } else {
| /if (${TwistWhat.NotEqual[0]} && ${Int[${TwistWhat}]}==0) /varset TwistWhat 0
| /if (!${TwistWhat} ) /varset TwistOn 0
| }
| /if (${TwistMed.NotEqual[0]} && ${Int[${TwistMed}]}==0) /varset TwistMed 0
| /if (!${MeleeTwistOn}) {
| /varset MeleeTwistWhat 0
| } else {
| /if (${MeleeTwistWhat.NotEqual[0]} && ${Int[${MeleeTwistWhat}]}==0) /varset MeleeTwistWhat 0
| /if (!${MeleeTwistWhat}) /varset MeleeTwistOn 0
| }
| }

With that comment out and me setting the following in my .ini file

TwistOn=1
TwistWhat=1 2 3 4 5 6 8
MeleeTwistOn=2
MeleeTwistWhat=Continuous

If say I pull 5 mobs, my bard will not restart my melody between each mob killed in the pull. However, after the 5th mob dies, the bard will restart the melody from the beginning. Probably more annoying if you fight single pulls, but resetting after a pull has been less annoying than resetting after every mob.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

This seems to be a common problem a few people have, was a fix getting planned or I need to just comment out those lines of code?

 

[ctaylor22]

I have this on my list to look at. I think I see the issue with the above code, but I will need someone to test my changes. Any volunteers?
