Question - Questions about automating a group and functions.

[Razadine]

Hello folks I’m a new user of this program and have read the beginners guide and I’m not finding my answer to my questions of what I want this program to do for me. So I figured I would post my questions here and see what help/direction I could get.

What I want this program to do for me is the following.
1) Be able to allow me to control my lead character fully non botting it at all.
2) Have this program control all the other 5 characters doing all of the other jobs that includes mezing mobs that are not being attacked by the Main assist.
3) Make it so other toons in the group don’t attack any mobs that the main puller/main assist did not bring to the group, so as to not get other players to notice what is going on, there by reducing the chance of people who can’t stand mulitboxers/boters complaining to GM’s, running the risk of getting suspended/banned
4) Not sure if this was covered in #1 but able to issue follow on one characters and the rest follow without having to switch between multiple screens to get the toons to follow each other. Also any good macros for making it easy for looting and selling and avoiding getting detected that one is botting. EG protecting yourself from Daybreak 

I Thank you guys for all your help and really appricate it.

Set up kissassist to assist your main char then run your main as normal

The kissassist macro is almost tailor made to perform most of the tasks you are requesting. Here are a couple of the links that describe how to set-up and use the macro:

You can also read through the kissassist forum and support sub-forum to get a feel for the kind of problems encountered by people and how they are resolved.


To issue commands to your group you will also need to set-up EQBC, see these links for more info

1. use /kissassist manual on main
2. set up kissassist ini files for all boxes
3.set tank/puller as such in grp
4. run EQBC and set up hot buttons on main with

/bcg //target main tank
/bcg //mac kissassist
/bcg //chase on
/bct shaman //alt act 630
/mac kissassist manual

this will get your 5 boxed toons to target MT, run kiss, follow and shaman to cast invis. can change shaman to anyother toon with grp invis and alt atc no. to match

ok each toon will have a kissassist.toonname.ini file. this file has sections for buffs, dps etc where you will list which spells discs and AA's you wish to use.

can useually find a decent ini for most classes in the Kissassist forum, just change spells/dics to suit toon and lvl.

eg for the enchanter to cast group invis change

/bct shaman //alt act 630

to

/bct enchanters name //alt act 1210

As scotsbiker said... every one of the 5 toons you want to assist your main toon (the one you decided to play manually )... will have their own unique KissAssist_[ToonName].ini

Assuming they will be just assisting the main assist toon (the one you play manually) then their ROLE=ASSIST in their config ini.

Each one needs to be tailored to that toon......

DPS section, BUFFS section, BURN section, GENERAL section... if healers the HEALING section, ... if pullers the PULL section... if pet class the PET section.....

It is specific to that toon's class... what spells/songs/aa's/melee combat skills/clicky items they have.. which need to be defined in their own INI file....

Using the "STOCK" ini's for like say a 105 paly... is great... but remember.. it is specific to THAT person's toon... they may have clicky buff effects being used on a breastplate you don't own... defined in their BUFFS section... they may have diferent rank of a spell than you do.... etc etc etc etc

Stock inis are just that.. stock.. give you an idea of a working ini profile... you still gotta tailor it to your toon.

But the good news is... once you get it done.. you never need to touch it again unless you upgrade / change spells.... or gear with different named clicky effects..... or something changes where you need to update the ini.....

Hey a couple of quick things i'm not sure about. 1) for slows i assume they go in the dps sections and use the |once flag or what ever you call |once. Second for items with click effects those go in the buff sections such as Castaway Breastplate from TDS? Thanks for your time folks.

 

[scotsbiker]

buff section is ignored during combat so both would go in the dps section.

other clickies such as one with DS (back slot) would go in buffs section
