Release Overseer (1 Viewer) 04/27/2026

Twinkeltoes · Mar 23, 2023

I keep coming back to this Lua as I want it to work so bad. But it's very inconstant for me. On one machine I have all my overseer.ini copy paste. So they are all the same. I run multiple accounts and some of them will run perfect, some will continue to loop without stopping, and some will freeze up at reward claims and it's random when and which do it.
On the 2nd machine I just leveled a group to 85 and was so excited to start this from scratch on them. Again, those 6 toons are copy/paste overseer.inis. I ran the tutorial, and then tried to run this Lua. Some would take some missions, some wouldn't some didn't have the HUD dispayed, some did. Some would run a cycle then continue to run cycles in an endless loop. I scroll through the comments in this discussion and I see similar issues. Some are being resolved with stop and restart. I haven't had much luck unfortunately.

As a side note of another issue I'm having with that new Krono FTP group. After my tutorial1 has 4 / 1 max active missions (how he got 4 active with 1 max is beyond me), 4 accounts have 1/1max active missions and the 6th toon has 5/5max active missions. I have no clue what that is about, all 6 are brand new accounts I made this past week and I have only put 1 krono in each for the AAs.

Hi @Twinkeltoes. I've experienced some of the issues that you're discussing. I too had guys that were new to overseer, so I wanted to prioritize "recruit" missions. I looked at the .ini and found that the default ini's "Priorities" field didn't include "Types" at all, and so I modified the .ini. What I *thought* I could do was like this:

Code:

[QuestPriority]
Priorities=Types|Rarities|Levels|Durations
Types=Recruitment
Rarities=Elite|Rare|Uncommon|Common|Easy
Levels=5|4|3|2|1
Durations=24h|12h|6h

I figured that this would prioritize recruitment (due to Types being the first Priority), then when it couldn't do recruitment, it would move on to Rarities (the second entry in the Priority field), etc. This is not how it worked. I found that it would only do recruitment missions and no others. I guess the subsequent priority entries are only tie breakers for the first priority.

So I ended up listing all of the mission types (as shown below) and that fixed my issue. I now pull all 3 or 5 missions. The only issue that I see is that I will max out my exploration very early and never touch stealth, so my intention is to rotate the second entry in the Types section (presently Exploration) to the end of the "Types" list every couple of weeks.

Code:

[QuestPriority]
Priorities=Types|Rarities|Levels|Durations
Types=Recruitment|Exploration|Diplomacy|Trade|Crafting|Harvesting|Research|Plunder|Military|Stealth
Rarities=Elite|Rare|Uncommon|Common|Easy
Levels=5|4|3|2|1
Durations=24h|12h|6h

As far as your issue about not claiming rewards successfully, I've also seen that. It is a crash in the script. From what I have seen, (A) you can tell by seeing the red exception text in the MQ window, and (B) just run the overseer script again and I've never seen it fail the second time. It sounds like they're aware of this issue and are planning to squish this bug, but until then I'm perfectly happy with my workaround.

I've also seen the looping forever issue, but not for a while now. I feel like once I had enough agents to always get my max number of missions this issue went away. So I'd just tough this one out and either manually run recruit missions, or try my above [QuestPriority] section to see if that works for you.

Twinkeltoes · Mar 24, 2023

I also want to say that I appreciate GoldenFrogs work on this Lua. I know it's not easy and I don't want to come across ungrateful. I keep coming back to it because I know how diligently he has been working on improving it and the potential is there for sure.

SomeRandomDude · Mar 24, 2023

I agree. This script is an amazing help for me. I love it.

That is a bit odd, and sorry you had issues. Tried to cover all of the migration patterns but maybe something you had was unique.

So to be clear, right now it's working for you?

Cannonballdex · Mar 24, 2023

I think that has to do with either migrating from old ini files in the config folder or missing the rewards in the creation of the new file.

@a_moss_snake If you are able to share the contents of the original INI file, that would be great.

"config\overseer\Overseer_{charName}.ini"
- The INI version, not the new Lua one.

And if you paste the file, make sure to rename so the char name isn't included

Rare Spawn · Mar 25, 2023

Have same/similar issue on all my chars. I do have custom rewards sections in all:

Rare Spawn · Mar 25, 2023

Since the error is at line 144, that looks to be for upgrading from settings file 3.0 to 4.0, but my files are already 4.0... so I suspect the script is not properly recognizing I am already at 4.0 needing an upgrade to 5.0?

Thats not it, its something else.... even when I delete my ini files, expecting the script to create new one... I get the same error as above.

Are you using global INI or per-character?

I wish I could - but I modified all the ini files to let the convert run :-/ (now it's working fine

) what I did was:

Remove the double/triple rewards sections (no idea how they got created)
added the REWARDS section to the overseer.ini
fixed "duration" for one char (had "" instead of "12h|6h")

Something probably got converted wrong prior and then the newest version tried to convert that. The ini file was definitely missing the rewards info. I don't think the
[QuestPriority_Unsubscribed]
isn't being used anymore. At least for now.

After yesterday's update my overseer Lua is running on my lap top, but not on my PC, both appear to be the same other than on my lap top there are sections in function InitializedAgentCounts that have 'xxx Iconic' that for some reason isn't in my pc file. I deleted all overseer Lua files on my pc and reinstalled fresh and still not there. I don't think that is the issue but I could be wrong. All my characters on my PC have the same copy/paste overseer.ini file

First error was on character load up, then I tried to /Lua run overseer again and got the same error.

where as my Lap top it is

[Rewards]

The 2nd difference is my Gold toons are on my PC while my FTP (currently krono) toons are on my lap top (which I don't know if it matters for the subscribed/unsubscribed checks)

First thing, can you check that you have the latest. There was a tentative fix for that problem that I haven't been able to reproduce.

Line 145 should be:
if (Settings.Rewards == nil or Settings.Rewards.index == 0) then

Also the latest version changed something with the "xxx Iconic" to remove the "Iconic". I think one of your systems is on the previous ver.

Melwyrm · Apr 4, 2023

This has been working really well for me up until last night when for some reason the window has closed down to a tiny box with an "X" to close it right up in the top left of my screen. No matter how many times I mash the "X" button it won't close or re-open the window.
This is on all my chars too, they're all minimised to the top left for some reason.
Other than that everything still seems to be working, it's still claiming rewards etc.
It doesn't come back up after a re-boot either so I just don't know what to do.

Curious. I'll look at if we properly handle the 'X' click. Don't recall.

You can try /mqoverseer hide/show to toggle display of the window, however since that doesn't otherwise change the window state, probably won't help you.

I've never been able to click the X to close the window. There is an option on General Tab to "Hide This Window" which is what I end up having to use.

You can comment them out by putting --mq.cmd('/cleanup') (--) in front, or remove those two lines. Will have the same effect. This command only forces the close of all open windows. So It won't affect opening any windows.

It's really just a preference, do you want to cleanup all open windows after or leave the windows open. Some people like having other windows open and /cleanup would close them all. I personally like to just open the inventory bags to claim stuff then close the bags after.
mq.cmd('/keypress OPEN_INV_BAGS')
mq.cmd('/keypress CLOSE_INV_BAGS')

mq.cmd('/keypress CLOSE_INV_BAGS')

Ok, I follow.

So, in my upper left hand, I keep the MQ Window, Plugin Manager, Quest Journal, Achievements, AAs, and CWTN windows for non-main toons open at all times, just minimized, so that I can drop max/min the window when I need.

When I run the Overseer Lua, it opens the Overseer interface, Overseer window, and Reward Window. At same time, it closes the other windows. Once the Lua is done claiming rewards, it closes that window. Once the Lua is done with the quests, it closes that window. The only thing left open is the Overseer interface.

What I believe you to be telling me is that the function that is closing the windows, the ClaimAllAdditionalItems section that appears to only deal with settings for Collection, Packs and Bonuses, will be unaffected by commenting them out. If I modify it like that, the rewards should work just fine, open and close, etc. I just will not get the general open window cleanup that is built in.

Do I have that right?

Cannonballdex · Apr 11, 2023

/cleanup is what is closing all of your windows. Has nothing to do with opening or minimizing windows or what windows get opened. Anything else that might close those windows or minimize them would be other commands to do so.

If you do not want overseer closing all of your windows just remove the two line that contain /cleanup.

If you just want the inventory bags to close after a full cycle, replace the second instance of /cleanup with mq.cmd('/keypress CLOSE_INV_BAGS')
and the inventory window itself mq.cmd('/keypress i')

like so

Code:

function ClaimAllAdditionalItems()
    if (Settings.General.claimAgentPacks == false and Settings.General.claimTetradrachmPacks == false and Settings.General.claimFrags == false) then
        return
    end

    if Settings.General.claimCollectionFragments then
        ClaimCollectionFragments('Overseer Collection Item Dispenser Fragment')
    end

    if Settings.General.claimAgentPacks then
        ClaimAdditionalItems('Overseer Agent Pack')
        ClaimAdditionalItems('Overseer Bonus Uncommon Agent')
        -- TODO: Elite Retire
        -- ClaimAdditionalItems('Elite Agent Echo')
    end

    if Settings.General.claimTetradrachmPacks then
        if (ClaimAdditionalItems('Sealed Tetradrachm Coffer')) then
            logger.log2(string.format("    You now have %s Overseer Tetradrachm", mq.TLO.Me.OverseerTetradrachm()))
        end
    end
    mq.cmd('/keypress CLOSE_INV_BAGS')
    mq.cmd('/keypress i')
end

Two questions:

1. Is the interface available for this now? I tried a few days ago and couldn’t get the window to open up so I figured it was being worked on. A big reason I’m wanting it is to set up auto claims for rewards.

2. I ran this on a toon quite awhile back.. (like maybe a year or two) anyways somehow I think he failed during the tutorial or something because he hasn’t been able to run overseer since. I tried messing with the character ini but nothing worked and I just gave up. Wondering if anyone knows a fix. I debated petitioning in-game but was afraid to draw attention to myself.

Any help or advice is appreciated!!! Thanks!

1. The UI has been available for the Lua version for about a month. If your using the MAC it wont have a ui.

2. There was a discussion here on the overseer.mac thread, about 2 years ago, discussing the 85 quest being bugged, afaik, petitioning ended up being the fix.

PS adding this *claimRewards=true* to the mac ini [General] settings will have it claim rewards based on your settings in [Rewards] .
