shortly after the expac dropped, i tried to find folt but he landed in eternity, then there was an update and he landed back in hodstock. I'm about to do an update to fix all that again.

apparently I let my sub lapse on rg so I've gotten no notifications on this whatsoever. what are you wanting to see. is it not working anymore? I've not played EQ in about 1.5 years but do plan on updating it.

OK for one, a lot of the times if drunkard steins on cool down it will not use anything else,would be great for it to actually use the Philter of Major Translocation as most non casters have those in their inventory, Lua just refuses to use it.Be nice to manually add a item for the Lua to use as well,a UI to check off dif things that could possibly be used to port back would be a godsend.Also when zoning to the Western wastes,when going through Sirens Grotto,the only way you can get through is to use a shrink item of some sort .
Once again thank you so very much for your time and effort in this Lua,its the best thing i use.

didn't know it would do that, I'll see get it fixed up.
 
After having 6 toons perma banned, I'm done with using RG. If anyone wants to take over Scriber, I'll pass off the git hub to them. just let me know.
 
Hi all.. I'm fairly new (a week or so) to MQ.

I installed last week, and two days or so ago (before the patch), I ran scriber on a 125 Monk, and the script was able to run him to all of the vendors and buy all of his tomes with zero issues.

Today, I ran it again, this time on a Mage and on Wizard. In both cases, I ran into a problem.

After the first successful vendor purchase, after gating back to the GL and entering the GH, I started getting an error message from [EasyFind] saying 'You are already in the Guild Hall'.

I tried to nurse it along by goign to the GH Teleporter and manually going to what I thought was the next zone. sometimes this would work to get the spells in that zone, but the problem re-occured when I got back to the GH. In one case, I apparently chose the wrong zone (there doesn't seem to be a specific order, so I probably just guessed wrong). Anyway, when the toon got to the zone, the Nav tool immediately started runnign her across the zone to get to some zone line. Unfortnately she got agro and died before I realized what was going on and to get Nav stopped. No biggie, but the experience was a little frustrating.

I'm truly a newb, but I took this to mean that Scriber didn't detect that the character was in the GH, and was trying to go there despite the fact that I was already there. I'm not sure what might have changed on my side. Scriber is the only Lua I have on Watch, and I double and triple checked that the mesh was updated.

I did see a post on the first page of this thread that there are two zones that had incorrect mesh's, and there was a download link for updating them. I did not do this, as those were fairly old, and I presumed that the current mesh was correct.

I see the post above that the Dev is no longer supporting this. I posted in case someone might understand whats going on (or what I'm doing wrong?).

Any ideas?

TIA

Interesting I ran scriber a couple of days ago on my test group and everything seemed fine. When the next test build comes out I'll run it and see if I get the same behavior.

Did it only happen on the monk? As well what level range of spells/tomes where you getting? I don't have a monk at 125 so I'll be guessing.

No, sorry if my post wasn't clear. The Monk and Rogue worked fine (before the patch - if that matters). My Wiz and Mage both had the issue (after the patch). I'm not necessarily suggesting the patch had anything to do with it. Just thought it was worth mentining.

I haven't tried it since, but I plan to,, maybe later today.

Thanks for taking a look.

Quick update from me:

I ran this again today on a 125 Cleric for 101-125 spells.

Everything worked fine (invis dropping in Cobalt Scar underwater tunnels aside ;)).

Not sure if my issue with the Mage and Wiz were class specific, or something else?

I'll be doing 101-125 on an enchanter soon. I'll post if I run into any more problems there.

Dd
 
Ran 101-125 on my ENC today with no issues - not sure what to make of it. The Mag and Wiz were the only two that experienced the problem. Everyone else was fine. I don't have any more Mages or Wizards to test with, so, the mystery remains. :D
 
Love the Lua, I do have a question, why does it zone out to the GGH to the
neighborhood to get to the small guild hall to port? I always get stuck on something in the neighborhood

It is probably using a /travelto, which will route that way. I have all my hotkeys for the Lobby and other ones do a check first for my current zone, and if it is the GGH, it uses GuildClicky to go to the lobby door first. But that adds a dependency on GC for the script.

There actually is a section in the script that is supposed to use the 'Shabby Lobby Door'. So you may check to make sure the ZoneID is one of the 3 below.

Code: 
if TableCheck(GetMyZone(), {'guildhalllrg_int', 'guildhallsml', 'guildhall3'}) then
        mq.cmdf('/itemtarget "Shabby Lobby Door"')
        mq.cmd('/nav item')
        while mq.TLO.Navigation.Active() do
            mq.delay(1000)
        end
        mq.cmd("/click right item")
        mq.delay(5000, function() return mq.TLO.Menu.Name() == "Shabby Lobby Door" end)
        mq.cmdf('/squelch /notify "Open the Door to the Lobby" menuselect')
        while GetMyZone() ~= "guildlobby" do
            mq.delay(1000)
        end
        mq.delay(1000)
 
Scriber is amazing! Buying spells is my most hated part of leveling a character - this Lua was a life saver for my 6 newly minted characters.

That being said, I found that it was buggy when zoning and navigating around the world. For example, I needed to stop/start the Lua after zoning, otherwise it's unresponsive. I ended up just navigating to each zone I needed to go to then running Scriber once I got there.

Also, when first opening the Lua the zone list is automatically all checked. Might be nice to have a "Check all/Uncheck all" button, if possible.

Keep up the good work!

I'm a newbie, really, but I was wondering why did my level 22 Warrior immediately bought 40 Cloudy Potions in PoK when I wanted to scribe all the skill tomes from level 1-22?
 
It took me a very long time to try this - I've looked at it a few times then get intimidated by trying to run Lua. Finally took the time to figure it out, didn't take too long but I'm a dumb so longer than others.
Such a time saver. Thank you for this!
 
I made some tweaks to this and when I went to see about putting in a pull request I saw @Kuhle's post about not supporting it anymore. I'm leery of taking it on permanently, but I can give it the old college try I guess. Should I start a new thread for that if I do? There wouldn't happen to be a more communal github repository for luas would there? I see this is in (what I assume is) Kuhle's personal github.

no, just get the thumbs up from @Kuhle and git access (he's welcome to give it to me or @ChatWithThisName as well and we'll help assist in folks keeping it updated)
 
Oops! Yep I can, thanks for the heads up. Didn't even think about it til now.
 
Ok so part of why I forgot to update this is I'm a filthy f2p and mostly ignore new expansion stuff. That said, I think I have it updated and ready to go, but I could use a tester if anyone doesn't mind testing this zip out (just unzip it into your RG/luas/Scriber folder). If not it's not a huge deal, I can buy the expansion on one of my toons if it comes down to it. Thanks for your patience everyone!

edit: <removed zip> nope that wasn't it ha. got the expansion for a toon though so testing it out now

I am on the EQ Live Servers

Scriber seems to have an issue, and I am unable to diagnose it.
Most of my toons, about 90%, scriber does not buy or scribe the spells. I am only seeing plausibly 10% of my toons, where this utility works.

FYI: Scriber was working 100% of the time before the latest MQ update.

I just want to keep this on the radar for you all and please keep up the great work.

I am using this with my < lv 75 toons

Are you using this on live? If so the game has auto grant spells when you level up that you can turn on, if not then ignore my response :)
 
@Kuhle @Gykrossin would like to take over updating scriber - do you want to add him as a collaborator or hand over the resource

you know i know how to see that right lmfao

I always tag in the resource so everyone knows - maybe they know the person irl or in-game and msg them.

and then i also send them a pm - in this case i also attempted to send a pm

some people keep their notifications on, and it is important to give folks opportunity to see stuff.
