Question - So. Frustrations abound.

[Amarth]

I'd been playing around with MQ2 + KA, then eventually just MQ2 + MB.

Out of frustration and impatience, I have either broken or deleted .ini's, because i was not really thinking clearly during any of it.

My shaman .ini used to buff and heal and canni, but NOT debuff.
It now debuffs, and cannis, but refuses to buff and heal.

My beastlord .ini, very recently created, buffs and heals, but does not nuke (Events have not been put in yet.)

My SK was working, but like I said out of frustration and impatience, i deleted all of them to start over.

I am now trying to do each section super-slow and enable one by one, so to speak.

This is my current beastlord ini settings, using Modbot 4.51

1. I assume you are issuing a 'letsroll' somehwere to get them going, since most actions are off in your .ini (which is OK)?
2. I also assume you are setting your TankName before starting? If not, that would be why he isn't assisting the tank and debuffing.
3. I also see you have "ADAggroOnly=1". Try turning that off for now.

1) yes, but it does not nuke at all. even if debuffs/events/heals/melee/buffs are on
2) Tankname wasnt set earlier. I tried that, it didnt work anyway
3) Off as in 0? I'll try it. Edit: Off and does not nuke. Though setting it to mode 2 made it nuke when solo, I wonder if I need one more in group and zone to make 1 work.
Edit2: Setting it to 1 with a tank in zone and actively doing things does not nuke. Tank is set to MA/Tank
Oddly, i found another issue. Loot/Forage is being fired, even though it's explicitly told not to do either of those things.
Edit: Loot/Forage only happens if soloing.

Ok, a fix is in, it seems that there is a problem with starting the macro, then doing /mb letsroll, which sets the various values to true, but /ending the macro does not save them.

I had to manually change the values for the ini file to stick.

So turns out it isnt the ini. it's the code.

 

[Rooster]

I think you'll find that's by design, so you can default the macro to do heals/buffs when you start up then when you issue the letsroll command they will start to engage/dps

 

[saar]

the thing is that when he issued the letsroll that dps just stood and did not assist, but starting the macro with the fields populated (using the same settings) his dps started assisting as it should have.

 

[Rooster]

That's not what he said at all, but anyway...

it did not nuke and assist, i should have posted an update, various things were later taken onto discord

Either way, the culprit is the ini does not save the values upon ending

this is why there's a /mb buffup command, /mb letsroll turns all the proper things on

so as woobs pointed out in the modbot documentation

/mac modbot
/mb makecamp - sets puller/return area
/mb buffup - turns on buffing
/mb letsroll - turns on the rest

This is by design. You will probably find out that you do not want to save those to the ini. For instance, all of my toons have them all set to FALSE when they startup. This way, I can camp out in an area with mobs (that hopefully do not see invis), come back the next day, log in, and start the macros on all the toons. But since all of their functions are off, they will just stand there invis until everyone is ready. Then send the 'letsroll' to everyone. I used to have things like buffing/healing on by default, until I started camping out in dangerous areas. For me, I like having everything off so that they don't do things unexpectedly.
