Same account? You should be able to run overseer on any toon on a single account. Or does the toon have to be 85?
Click to expand...
yep has to be min 85.. if you do all your overseer stuff on a 85+, then /switchchar to another toon on the same acct, overseer Lua will spazz out, because EQ /overseer will not open and will give an error in the chat window..

There used to be handling of this to say: "MQOverseer paused while you are on a different character".
This allowed switching to baz mule or other - without causing problems.
Looks like it's broken. I'll look into it.


And thanks, blast. I'd forgotten about the "Sometimes it doesn't claim one of the rewards 'til next cycle" as it only happens rarely to me. Will add that to my "Look at it now" list.
 
Bah, thank you. CBD's response to that is correct and should be "More than" rather than "More than or equal to".

I'll update and have a guess at the floating reward. Testing more now. Hopefully push both later today.

I saw this yesterday and I changed them from 2 to 1 in game on each toon and it worked perfectly. Easy with only 8 toons though :P

Sorry, yes. There were enough comments pointing out things were counter-intuitive that saying "3" meant we kept 2.

This should have been called out better in the patch.

There are two options for this:
  • UI: Can visit appropriate UI tab and modify the values up/down one
  • Command: Can use/broadcast a command to update one or all characters to the appropriate values
    • e.g. /mqoverseer conversionCountCommon 5
      • Set character's Common conversion to 5
    • /bcaa //mqoverseer conversionCountCommon 5
      • Set all characters, etc...
    • These commands are usually in the tooltip for each property (though I can't show right now due to patch)
 
Just an FYI everyone, there is a new Recruitment quest this morning as part of the Scorched Sky Celebration. It's a Level 3 Elite Recruit called Divine Intervention. I just added it too all my Specific quest settings!

Edited to add another, Level 5 Common Research called Deepwater Symbol Research.

Hi all. I have a question which will double as a suggestion.

In my ingame.cfg file I include the line "/Lua run overseer" because more often than not I want this. My issue is that I have some characters that are less than level 85 and auto-running overseer on them is counterproductive.

Question:

Is there a way to make that "/Lua run overseer" be conditional based upon whether the character is level 85+?

Suggestion:

It could be generally useful to have the overseer script auto-detect that you're less than level 85 and terminate automatically.

Thanks.
 
GoldenFrog updated Overseer with a new update entry:

3.32 Bulk Addition of Event Quests

  • Added ability to add sets of quests for Events
    • Frostfell, Nights of the Dead, Stone Cold Summer, Scorched Sky

To allow characters to properly process a given event, add all quests for that event to the MQ Overseer system

Two mechanisms can be used:
UI
Settings > Specific
New options exist to add or remove all quests for a given Event.
This results in those quests being run after conversion & recruitment but before any others....

Love this Lua btw, thank you again!

I have what may be a silly question. Several of my toons are overseer maxed so I use this for xp and collections. I see that Scorched sky is on and I want to complete the last 3.

1687918425707.png

Question is, Divine Intervention is a recruitment quest and I turned off recruitment a while ago as I no longer need more agents. I did specify in
"Specific" to look for these 3 quests, but will it ignore them if I have "ignore recruitment quests" checked on the claim settings of the general settings or will it overlook the bypass for the holiday specific quests?

That's a great question. I missed this event last year so catching up now.

It should run the quest as the Recruitment stage will skip, but then the specific should pick things up.

I will try to set this test up and validate that shortly.
 
GoldenFrog said:
Yup. It'll work.
Click to expand...
Awesome, thanks for the reply! I'll turn on ignore recruitment on those toons again then since they do not need anymore commons. I suppose I could have tested it myself, but figured why reinvent the wheel if there is already an answer =)
 
GoldenFrog

I have a dumb noob question for you. I keep seeing comments like "When your Overseer is maxed out", what does Maxed Out look like? When all your agents are purple? When the different categories are at their highest number? What is the highest number you can reach? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

have all agents and XP maxed (last tab in overseers interface).
 
In response to my own question above, in case it helps someone else. If you want to auto-launch overseer, but only on characters that are of the appropriate level, then you can edit your ingme.cfg to add the following:

[CODE title="ingame.cfg"]/if (${Me.Level} >= 85) /Lua run Overseer[/CODE]
 
durango773

Could you expound "have all agents maxed" please? I am still at the point where I am converting agents to get them to all to purple color and how many agents should you have?. Also what level do those categories max out at? The highest I have currently is level 4 Recruitment. I have looked for info on this subject but I can't find anything listed on Google. Hoping you guys can help.

I considered mine maxed when I reached all the available overseer tab on the achievements. Why keep recruiting/converting when you can run any of the quests you want X5 and there are no achievements left. Maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks for this, SomeRandomDude.

The script has logic to properly report and not run in this situation but it looks like it broke at some point.

Meant to fix last week. Will try to get to it this week.

There are a few things going on
  • Do you have all agents or missing any?
    • Can use MQ Overseer last tab [Stats] to determine this.
      • 1687992703688.png
  • What are your quest levels?
    • EQ Overseer [Stats] tab to show this
  • How many of each agent do you have?
    • Everyone has their own value here. I keep 4, but there's no right answer.
As psymorph said, there's really nowhere else to go. It's a silly addition to EQ that gives an avenue for "free" exp and some loot. Otherwise no value.

I just keep it running to build up Tetradrachms for some hypothetical day I'll wanna spend them.
 
Love the stats tab!!!

I use it for 3 items once my quests are all complete in this order;

1) Char exp - helps after unsuccessful raids LOL
2) Collection fragments
3) Tetradrachms

It really is just an addiction

/addiction on
 
GoldenFrog

Thanks man, appreciate the in depth answer. And Psymorph too, thank you. I never even thought to look at that Stats page lol. Again I have to say, there is soooo much to learn in this game. But since I have your attention, can I bother you with another couple of questions?

What is the criteria for Conversion quests? I keep seeing at the very end of an auto session, "Not enough duplicates to run conversion quests". So I keep running the conversions manually, just because I don't like all that clutter lol. Am I wrong to run these manually? Are conversion quests determined by how many duplicates of one particular char you currently have? Or does it go by how many of a certain type you have (Common, Uncommon, etc)? I am just trying to get all Elite chars.

What is the highest level (for the categories) you can attain? And why do the Military/Stealth/Plunder ones seem to be the lowest priority? I have any wheres from level 2-4 on most of the other ones but just level 1 on those previously mentioned. Do I have to setup priorities differently? I thought I had them setup to prioritize them all at this point.

Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide.

I was thinking the same thing this morning when it popped up on a couple toons during the under seige mission. I made a quick hotkey /dgga /Lua overseer stop and then a run so I could do it when I was ready and still remain automatic the rest of the time. But I'll bet there is an easier way out there

Could make a LEM do do this, is toon is in combat --> pause, toon is not in combat --> unpause.

Hmm, sounds like a good place to start tbh. My knowledge of programming is minimal to say a lot and this sounds like one of the more simplistic ones to start with. I may just give this a shot, thanks!

Of course until Goldenfrog pops in and says it's been incorporated into the app before I get it done :)
 
Ok, So I screwed up I am certain.

I have Overseer.mac and decided to try the Lua so I blew away Overseer.mac and all associated ini files... Now when I try to "/Lua run Overseer" I receive the below screenshot, literally the whole attempt is shown.
Files are in "C:\RG\Lua\overseer\" ...

Overseer_Error.jpg

I don't know what it wants, I woulda been a coder if I hated my hair and wanted to yank it out all the time. Instead I became a SysEng lol.
 
EQStreamz

Do you really stream EQ? ...just kidding man, I am in a weird mood tonight, sorry.

I was just thinking that you could probably get those files back if you look in your Recycle Bin.

And I thought I read that there was a different routine you had to run when you installed the new Imgui over the old mac. Without going back and looking that is. You might want to review that procedure.

And btw I can really relate to what you said about the yanking out the hair thing, but you forgot the gnashing of teeth thing to go with it...just saying.

LOL, I used to.
Honestly, I am a Senior Systems Engineer by trade and I have this bad habit of holding down shift when I hit delete... Recycling Bins should be empty right?

You coders... I have supported hundreds of "Devs" over the years, providing them with Servers VM, Patching, Testing, Validation etc etc etc... Love you guys but so needy... JkJk

I know enough to read the code but as for knowing what goes where and what syntax, I have no clue and am too old to learn new things this complex.

Stupid question but why would I want to retire Elite Agents?
Click to expand...
I did it to get two rares that I could then try to combine again for an elite I didn’t have. Once I had them all, I then did it to level up my overseer on the missions I rarely used (crafting, harvesting, etc.).

Now I just them stack up. Maybe use for experience sometime in the future.
