I just signed up to the site, downloaded and installed the emu version and then did an update. I have a full group running on a private server. One problem I have, is the guy I have set as the looter gets the following two errors. The smaller error he will chain spam it.

Is there a fix for this? I did a search and found another person with the same error and he was recommended to use MQ2AutoLoot. From what I read MQ2AutoLoot isn't an option for the EMU version.

EDIT - Solution : Using Kissassist 11.004 and ninjaadvloot Updated 31 Jan 2019, I found the following to have corrected the bad looting problems, for me, for those versions.

In the ninjaadvloot.inc scroll down, or search, till you find "/declare zdist" and rename "zdist" to "zdisttwo". Remove the "". Afterwards, logout, close macroquest then relaunch everything. The line should now read...

/declare ZDisttwo float local ${Math.Distance[${Target.Z}:${Me.Z}]}

To add a bit more details. Sometimes he will get in a loop of kneeling, giving the small error message, standing, and then repeating over and over. Other times he will loot normally, sit and then infinitely spam the error message. When he does the odd kneeling, I notice he doesn't add the new items that were on the corpse to the loot.ini. I just started so a lot of items are new for my file.

I also noticed that for the looter, when starting the kissassist mac, it gives a NINJALOOT version mismatch error. Writing aliases. I don't recall seeing it on the others but only he is setup to loot.

If you have any questions or things for me to try, let me know.
 
Sorry to spam, but I have an update. I did find one other post on this with some advice. Kissassist has /declare zdist outer and ninjaadvloot has /declare zdist local. I changed ninjaadvloot to /declare zdisttwo and the error went away but not sure if it corrects the obsessive attempts to loot yet. I will touch base tomorrow and let you guys know how it goes. Might be a needed change to the distribution if it works out.
 
Original post edited and updated with the solution that worked for me. If others are having the same problem, and this resolves it, let the powers to be know so a correction can be made to the original file.

Glad to hear you resolved your issue - a personal recommendation would be check out MQ2Autoloot instead of ninja loot - I think a majority of us use MQ2Autoloot these days

From my understanding MQ2AutoLoot does not work in the EMU. If you know of a way to make it work, let me know.
