Safeguard.mac - For boxes and macros - Avoid GM issued suspensions for boxing on TLPs and Live

Description

With the introduction of Rizlona and Aradune, the EQ community has over-pressured Darkpaw to heavily police AFK botting. While AFK play is never endorsed, the result has left a lot of innocent folks with 7-day suspensions who simply failed to read a buried /say message within a few seconds. Outside of actual AFK botting, players have been suspended for:

1. Focusing on a long/tricky pull away from the group and missing the message
2. Getting...

Badass bro. I haven’t felt the need for anything like this yet but damn it’s nice to see it’s there if I do.

Added to my personal macros, and pinging @ctaylor22 to consider this for kiss

To be clear, the /startwatch command is only intended to be run on one character, correct?

Also I'm not sure if you know, but the auto "AFK" tag is a toggle EQ lets you set in-game. Options -> Auto Turn Off AFK

Sorry for the late response - yeah, /startwatch should only be ran on 1 character in the area of your group. It might be automatically enabled in the version I posted, either way its not a big deal. Everyone will just respond to the GM once.

Is it possible to have more dumbed down instruction to add this to kissassist? I'm a noob

This would be a great addition to Kiss12.

I apologize for posting this in your thread faiding, but there is a plugin now with similar functionality:

MQ2Say

This plugin is intended to catch say messages in close proximity to your group that may otherwise be lost in the game spam, or hidden behind another window. This is important due to the fact that if a Gamemaster is checking to see if your group...

It may be a better option for those who have trouble editing macros.

Hey. I'm having trouble with this plugin. When I try to test it out with my toons, the guy never responds. I've tried changing the MatchNumberCriteria=0. Any tips?

Cool! I would highly recommend they expand that to include other mediums of chat (GMs use /tells as well).

Are you testing /say or /tell? And are you using the .inc or the .mac version?

 

[Phalanx]

I was trying /say. I was editing the .mac version (the ini).

Hello. I got this working. Both in tell and say. Not sure what was going wrong

I had my first encounter with a GM yesterday while watching Netflix. I had MatchNumberCriteria=0, they gave their typical "hello are you afk?" line. Character responded a few seconds later with a random phrase and then GM said "thank you" and disappeared.

I'm going to expand the macro to answer OOC camp checks, but I need to be a bit more careful with it as I don't want a macro to bug out with OOC responses.
