Question - Plugin Cleanup

[zuesizgod]

I've been using KA for a bit now, but I want to clean up my plugin usage a bit. Example is I don't need bard plugins in my Sk file. What is the best way to clean this type of stuff up?

 

[Redbot]

in-game, /plugin mq2pluginname unload

out of game, right-click mq2 -> Ini File -> scroll down to [Plugins] and change mq2pluginname=1 to mq2pluginname=0

Hey Redbot,

I know how to load and unload in game, but I want specific plugins loaded for specific toons and others unloaded. Can I just do this via my server_toon.ini in the release folder?

You could edit your characters .cfg file to unload any plugins you dont want loaded on entry to the game.

As a follow up to toots, here's an example to unload mq2melee for your character "zeus" on the Vox server:

In your Release/Configs folder, copy this line:
/plugin unload mq2melee
and save it to a file named Vox_zeus.cfg

Thanks guys

 

[toots]

Thanks Red. I could have been a bit more specific I suppose.

Thanks Red. I could have been a bit more specific I suppose.

I didn't know about character specific configs until you mentioned them!

hrm this is great - so I can make my non-wizzies NOT load up mq2afknuke and non-zerkers not loadup mq2berzerker nice

 

[zuesizgod]

Glad I could bring this up and it helps others

Here's my MQ2AFNuke sales pitch / thread hijack of the day (just to clarify @Sicprofundus 's statement)...

MQ2AFNuke works for Wizards, Druids, Enchanters, Rangers, Magicians and Beastlords... So, if you don't use any of those classes, unload it. If you do use it for the other classes, leave me some feedback/class info (in the MQ2AFNuke thread), and I will work to optimize their DPS and burns... I will eventually support every class, but I don't have the time to invest to support every class at the moment...

DPS is fairly well optimized for Wizards, Enchanters, Magicians, and Druids (It will chew up and spit out your enchanter and drood mana if you load their big spells - Strangulate for example).

Thanks Jimbob, I didn't realized MQ2AFNuke did stuff for other classes! really good info

Surprised no one mentioned that rather than unloading plugins each time, simply load the plugin with the noauto flag. This causes MQ2 to load it without remembering to load (or not load) it next time.

/if (${Select[${Me.Class.ShortName},WAR,SHD,PAL]}) {
    /plugin mq2discord noauto
    /plugin mq2hud noauto
    /plugin mq2NotATankPlugin unload noauto
}
