Question - Setup

[Grainer]

I'm a new user as of yesterday and currently have rgmerc installed and love it. iI've downloaded kissassist and plan on purchasing a few items like Mq2Eskay etc. When I activate Mq2eskay do I still have rgmerc and kisssasist running or is each plugin/macro self sustaining on their own? Better yet if I'm going to be using mq2eskay and the same for my other toons, beast, bard etc. what should I have running with them other than nav and eqbcs?

the cwtn class plugins are stand-alone class plugins - you wouldn't want to run another automation thing at the same time like kiss or rgmercs - you would end up with hugely conflicting behavior and have a bad time.

We try and keep an updated FAQ and Commands tab for each of the resources which will have the respective frequently asked questions and commands listed for easy/quick reference.

specifically for the cwtn stuff - if you check the resources there are several guides and videos that talk specifically about them and how to setup and use them. It might be tempting to skip, but its going to answer a lot of questions that you don't know you have yet - and give you a place to check back when you have a quesiton.

I would watch them in this order

CWTN UI Video < - gives an overview of all the plugins and their UI window
MQ2Eskay video <- goes over the mq2eskay specifics
MQ2War Video and pulling <- this is when we introduced the pulling stuff, so worth watching
Hotkeys and Moving your team around <- goes over how i move my team around and talks about some of my hotkeys

The CWTN class plugins are free to use on the test server with your lvl 2 RedGuide's subscription - so if you're interested in trying em out out before committing, that is definitely something you can do.
The cwtn plugins don't allow for much granular specificity (if any, heh) - there are some pros and cons that come with that.
pro: no setup
con: for the most part can't set it up how you want.
pro: does all the stuff for you
con: associated cost for live servers
pro: get to talk to sic
con: get to talk to cwtn (muhahahaha)

I moved this to the cwtn section since your primary question was cwtn stuff and mq2eskay questions.

re: you did mention classes that we don't have complete for cwtn class plugins yet - like bard - you would want to run rgmercs, muleassist/kissassist, core/entropy or some other option - rgmercs is an "out of the box press button and go" macro suite, that probably will be your best bet for a similar low bar to setup.

for the cwtn stuff specifically you will want mq2nav setup with meshes.

for overall team management, you will want either eqbc or dannet setup and functional - eqbc is in the RG startup guides > here <

for the RGMercs you will want to check the resource and check out the instructions, FAQ, and commands.
