Problem - PullerTank issues

[KMBx5]

Good morning, i am trying to figure out what is going on with my pullertank ini. When i used it in legacy it worked just fine but since the move to the new macroquest my tank will not move out to pick up mobs on his own. I have to run out and then the macro will either run my toon back to camp or target and pull a mob. Is there a new setting or something i need to turn on with this new version in order to get my pullertank to work correctly?

I don't want to speak out of turn here as I have never used KA in a pulling manner, but don't you need the Role to be "Puller"? There are a couple of other things about that .ini that I have questions on. You posted a Ranger .ini and in your post, you stated it is your pullertank.ini, so if you are using Ranger to tank, why would you have Jolting Crescent Kicks as an agro reducer active? I have more questions, but maybe you posted the wrong .ini file?

bah, wrong ini, lol, put the right one in there, and please always speak up i need all the help i can get, thank you again.

 

[Ranger S'corpse]

Did you load a new Navmesh with MQNext?

 

[KMBx5]

Did you load a new Navmesh with MQNext?

sure did, i had to a do full delete and reinstall of MQ, nav and inis as i could not get my toons to work correctly.

 

[KMBx5]

So do i need to use muleassist to get my pullertank feature to work now with the new MQ? I have never looked into that before so any pointers?

These are the roles for kissassist

pullertank is valid


Role Values - Use the following list to determine and define your default role.

• Role=Assist - Default role of assisting Main Tank on mobs.
• Role=Tank - Sets up tanking feature and will target and attack any aggressive mob that comes into defined melee range. Target (or declare) yourself as MA.
• Role=PetTank - This role allows for a pet class (Mage/Necromancer/Beastlord) to 'have their pet tank'.
• Role=PullerPetTank - This role allows for a pet class (Mage/Necromancer/Beastlord) to BOTH 'pull and have their pet tank'.
• Role=Puller - This role basically duplicates the oldie but goldie puller.mac. It will pull mobs within a certain radius back to camp for your party to kill. Target Main Assist for this role.
• Role=PullerTank - This role combines pulling and tanking. The character will pull mobs back to camp then engage them when within defined melee distance. Target your self for Main Assist with this role.
• Role=Hunter - This role duplicates the old hunter mac. It will run your character around a zone and hunt any or predefined mobs with the pull radius. Target yourself for Main Assist with this role. ** This setting will ignore any Mob HP % you may have defined in your DPS section in the .ini **
• Role=HunterPetTank - This role duplicates the old hunter mac. This role allows for a pet class (Mage/Necromancer/Beastlord) to 'have their pet tank'. It will run your character around a zone and hunt any or predefined mobs with the pull radius.
• Role=Petassist - This is mainly for Pallys, Rangers, Beastlords and SKs asssiting Mage pets tanking . It turns off melee so they just send in pets and cast.
• For Manual Role/Mode see the Miscellaneous section.

Yep, and i have him set at pullertank but he just stands there in the camp and does nothing. Only changes was going from legacy to MQ and turning dannet to 1 in my ini. He just will not run out and pull mobs, its very odd. /debug showed nothing. I did not have to have him set as puller in eq before only MA and MT. Could that be the issue? He wont run out and pull because he is not set as puller along with mt and ma?

After kissassist is running, do
/debug pull 1
Then pull up the console window for mq using
Ctrl + `
See what it says

Note: I normally do not use kissassist so if nothing comes up, also try /debug pull 1 log . And if nothing still comes up. Just do /debug all. Maybe it's getting stuck on something else outside of pull?

 

[Szazor]

You have your Z Radius set to 150. Are you in a hilly zone? Maybe 150 is not enough?

Dude, I LOVE you! Typing /debug pull 1 makes it work, although there is a LONG pause between pulls, 20 seconds, where as he use to run out for another mob a few seconds after mob died. Thank you again, no clue how that fixed it but rock on man!!!!

To be honest, I didn't expect it to fix it lol. It was just to supposed to write out what it was doing. But I'm glad you got it working

For the long pause do /debug all. It could be thinking it's doing something, like that rest|end|20 you got in there but I don't know. I don't usually play melee Chars lol. I'm legit just making guesses.

Btw, if nothing comes up on debug, look in your config folder. There may be a file named similar to kissassist_debug_toonname after a debug. Not entirely sure how it works for KA

I have used Pullertank with my BST for many months and had my pet set to "taunt" so that it will just assist at 97% and then take agro. This function seems to have changed. It now turns taunt off every time I pull. Where does the problem lie? is there a different setting i need to fix? Thanks

Just curious why not just use pullerpettank

 

[Davidnapagr]

I just switched to that but now I am pulling, the pet is taking it, and now i dont melee, i just sit and cast.. which isnt what i want.. i wanted to pull, and then have the pet take agro while i continue to melee... So i need to solve one of the two problems so that it works correctly ...

To tell you the truth, until a week ago when i had this issue start, I didnt know pullerpettank was even an option.

 

[Kuhle]

What's your melee section look like

 

[Davidnapagr]

 

[Davidnapagr]

And I dont know if there is a way to edit "mq2melee"... which is what i was hoping was maybe the issue with the tank/pet/etc piece

 

[Kuhle]

yes, you can edit mq2melee. there are lots of options for mq2melee

https://www.redguides.com/docs/projects/mq2melee/

 

[Kuhle]

And I dont know if there is a way to edit "mq2melee"... which is what i was hoping was maybe the issue with the tank/pet/etc piece

when you start it, are you just doing /mac kissassist pullerpettank
or are you doing /mac kissassist pullerpettank (petname) 98

 

[Davidnapagr]

I am just doing /mac kissassist The pullerpettankis already inside the INI.. I can try the second method if you think that will change it

 

[Kuhle]

When you start ka, you can change the role quickly by doing what I sent. As for if the second one will work, I don't know. But it doesn't hurt to try

 

[ctaylor22]

Yea. There was a change mode to turn off Pet Taunt if you are in an assist role. It should not have any affect on tank roles. Any of the Pet Tanking roles, pet taunt is turned on.

I haven't cared enough to search and find a way to change this, but my personal preference was to keep the mage's pet taunting at all times so when the MA/Tank died the mob would instantly jump on the pet instead of the healers or chanter. Please don't change this on my account, I just wanted to express my own use case here. And if I ever care enough to change this I'm sure I can find it and modify the macro.

 

[ctaylor22]

@B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y The problem was people using their Mage and/or any pet class running in Hunter mode, and then switch to running in a group situation and NOT turning off pet taunt. Enchanters and other pet classes couldn't figure out why their pet kept dying so much. They had pet taunt on the whole time. I can add it to my list of things to look at so that you can override this setting, shouldn't be that hard to add. Thinking to just add an entry in the [Melee] section PetTauntOn=0/1 and have it set to 0(off) by default. Now this would get overridden if you were using any of the pet tank roles. But for all other roles you would be able to control your pets taunt ability.
