Evening yall,

I am trying to use KissAssist in tandem with "downshoots" & "holyshoots" to create a group on in Everquest on an emulator that has disabled Xtarget windows in the current expansion of Kunark.

So this has caused some issues with assisting the tank and attacking mobs within the group. I found some work arounds with MQ2Melee and I was hoping KissAssist could still buff the group and handle spell DPS.

I haven't tested other classes yet but wanted to post this to get started.

I reinstalled MQ2 and reinstalled KissAssist in my attempt to fix this as well as debugging to my limited knowledge.

Problem 1: Mage cannot buff himself or others...but can buff pet​

The buffs that my magician attempts to cast return the following error message:

No such 'spell' member 'WillLand'

It also gives a pretty lengthy code in the MQ window with this error code.

I have tried within the Buff area of the character ini file: Elemental Armor; Arch Shielding; Greater Shielding; Shield of Lava.

I put not conditionals and made it so only the first buff slot was being read.

Weird enough, the mage will cast the pet and buff it with Burnout III & Shield of Lava just fine with no error message. And, as well, rebuff when it is gone.

I have found the code in the kissassist macro file, but I don't want to change 'WillLand' to 'Stacks' just yet because A) its used multiple times throughout the code B) i hope for a solution that will be more stable.

[CODE title="Buffs On" highlight="1-4, 16-20"][Buffs]
BuffsOn=1
BuffsSize=1
Buffs1=Arch Shielding
Buffs2=Modulating Rod|summon|Summoned: Modulating Rod|1

//Mod rod for Problem 2; I switch the spells from Buffs1 to Buffs2 while testing each individually

//skipping to pet code; let me know what you would like to see

[Pet]
PetOn=1
PetSpell=Greater Conjuration: Earth
PetFocus=NULL
PetShrinkOn=0
PetBuffsOn=1
PetBuffsSize=8
PetBuffs1=Burnout III
PetBuffs2=Shield of Lava
PetBuffs3-8=NULL

//PetBuffs3-8 are on individual lines each accordingly

//let me know if you would like the other pet code to verify stuff[/CODE]

Problem 2: Mage will not summon mod rods
​

The magician will not summon mod rods.

The MQ window will state that:

No room in inventory skipping summoning >> Summoned: Modulating Rod <<.​

The magician has open inventory slots with bags. I have even tested a bag slot to be empty and it still brought up this issue.

Problem 3: Mage will assist with pet but no DPS spell triggers​

The magician will assist on a mob, but only with his pet.

No error codes are produced.

• Pet assists at 100​
• AssistAt=100; under [Melee]​
• DPS is on​
• MeleeOn=0​
• DPSInterval was tested with 1 and 2​
• DPS1-8 slots tested with HP and without​
• The mobs tested are lower level at the front of Mistmoore, so not sure if something is preventing him from casting by considering the total life pool compared to the damage output from the spell cast; idk if KA does that or not​
• Example1: Shock of Swords|100​
• Example2: Shield of Lava|98|Melee​
• Example3: Malaisement|99|malo|Once​

Let me know if you want actual code.

Appreciate any and all help.

God bless.

I heard that Kiss 12.2 is just bad with emu. It is recommended to use 12.1 or some other version. Also I know that the mages giving pet items is not 100% in most of the versions I tried. But some of them are close and if you put a slight delay in the kissassist file then it works.

I'm not sure if any KA version will work without X-tar window, but I have not tried on a Kunark era server. Which client is that using? Titanium or RoF2?

I have already tried change .WillLand to stacks, it makes a mess of /continue commands where it gives errors of continue without while or for.. haven't sorted that out.. been busy with RL.

And while 12.002 has made some good steps on EMU servers, it still have issues with buffing.

The xtarget window itself is fully working, but some (or all) of the /xtar commands wont work. I managed to make conditions using ${SpawnCount[npc radius 60 xtarhater]} and that seems to work ok. For me KA on emulators is almost perfect, just a few small things that might be in Live too.

@tqmohr101 Try using an /echo command and see what is returned. Try using:

/echo ${Me.XTarget[1].ID}

while you have a mob in camp, and see if it echo's a number. you don't have to have kiss running for this test.
