• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.
    Read more
    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

Question - Release

What is saying its password protected? MQ2, the zip file? the post?
Also
Right click you macrtoquest2.exe file and select properties
Under the Compatibility tab make sure "Run this program as an administrator" is checked
 
I'm running on an old laptop with Windows XP home. I don't see an "admin" option. It just shows compressed item properties. Doubled clicked Macroquest 2, hit Extract All, then Next, then Next again, and it says "File Release is password protected. Please enter the password in the box below".

It also gives me the option to skip that file, but isn't that one I need? Sorry I'm a little ditzy I just extracted it all before and it worked like magic.
 
OK I just downloaded Winrar and tried extracting it with that, rather than the one through Windows on my computer and it seems to be working. Guess I'll just have to keep Winrar on my computer from now on. I don't know why it's doing that though, but thank you a ton for your help and patience.
 
Yes I just saw that same weirdness when I dug out my old laptop with the default windows xp zip extractor. No clue what that is about but winrar or 7zip was my next suggestion. Glad you got ti working.
