Tom, everyone has had to start learning Macroquest (not Marco
) from beginning at some point. Redguides is about the easiest place to learn Macroquest and people are friendly here.
Jigs compile has a directory called MQUI which does contain XML files (the extension might be hidden though by Windows but description should still say XML files).
Please, reread instructions at
http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php?p=148268
# Run MacroQuest2.exe from the folder you saved compile in (can be JIGS60 for example)
# Run EverQuest.exe
It really is that simple to get started
Once you have Macroquest and Everquest running you can load additional plugins that came with Macroquest. Plugins are like little extensions to Macroquest that make it more versatile.
Next you should learn how to run a macro. Some simple macros can be found in your Macroquest2 compile subfolder /macros.
They can be run simply by typing
/macro actualmacroname from MQ2 chat window in Everquest.
You can find additional macros here on redguides by searching for .mac extension . You save them to your computer by copy and pasting the macro code into Notepad (better if you have Notepad++ or another text editor though) then saving the file into your /macros folder with extension .mac. For example mysuperhunter.mac TIP:Make sure the file does not have extension txt at the very end (ie mysuperhunter.mac.txt) when you save.
At some point you should learn a bit about .inc extension as well.
Lastly a warning:
Do not run real AFK macros for extended periods of time till you know wtf is going on in them. Try to check your computer every once in a while. Otherwise you may end up being banned or at least made fun of by people on your server.
90 percent of macros you will find online, will not work exactly how you want them to, out of the box, you will have to tweak them to fit your needs.
