Release Spawn Check/Map Entry Maker 1.0

[TreeHuginDruid]

Although this and other macros I write are not exclusively for use by RedGuides,
I am authorizing its use for the community.
(This and other macros I write may be available at "other" MQ2 sites).

This macro has been tested using the most recent RedGuides MQ2 compile.

This macro and all others I submit for the community will be fully supported by myself
(as long as you have not altered the code for it).
Changing user specific (non global) declares is permissible.



This handy macro functions in two ways:

1) Alerts you to any named that are in zone that drop loot, via a popup message and a MQ window echo.

2) Creates an entry in the MacroQuest2\Logs\SpawnCk.mac log file with the name of the mapfile to add the named address to and the mapfile line address itself.

Example:

[01/12/2015 13:36:18] -----------------------------------------------------------------
[01/12/2015 13:36:18] [BlackBurrow] - Mapfile: [Oldblackburrow_2.txt]
[01/12/2015 13:36:18] P -555.00, 20.00, -67.13, 240, 0, 0, 3, Slavemaster_Raouk
[01/12/2015 13:36:18] -----------------------------------------------------------------

This utility is great for being able to know what mobs in zone are loot droppers, as well as creating a label entry for them to put into your map files if it is missing.

I have updated the INI file to include all non specialized (standard) zones from:


All annual Hardcore/Revamped zones
Secrets of Faydwer
Seeds of Destruction
Underfoot
House of Thule
Veil of Alaris
Rain of Fear
Call of the Forsaken
The Darkened Sea
The Broken Mirror
Empires of Kunark


I have also converted the named ini file to work with the MQ2SpawnMaster plugin!!!!! (THIS IS UBER)
That will be included as well.

At the very least, even if you don't use this macro . . . I highly advise you to use the config file I provided for MQ2SpawnMaster.
I'm extremely diligent about updating the ini files for all known loot dropping named!

Enjoy, and happy hunting!

These all go in the macro folder correct?

 

[TreeHuginDruid]

These all go in the macro folder correct?

SpawnCK.mac and SpawnCK.ini go in the macro folder....

MQ2SpawnMaster.ini goes in the MQ2 directory itself... alongside the MQ2SpawnMaster.dll plugin.

If you overwriting any existing MQ2SpawnMaster.ini (while in game), make sure you do a "/spawnmaster load" in game to load the new config.

 

[mark805]

Ok.. I put the files in their proper homes and while playing, I type /mac SpawnCk

I get the message:

[2015/01/14 10:51:17] [MQ2] Checking required plugins . . .
[2015/01/14 10:51:17] [MQ2] MQ2LOG plugin is loaded.

[2015/01/14 10:51:17] The current macro has ended.

Is this working as intended?

 

[TreeHuginDruid]

For whomever sent me the pm asking about sound alerts for MQ2SpawnMaster . . . .

You asked:
"Is there a way to make alarm go off when a name pops or when on is up when you enter the zone, like the gm alarm?"

MQ2SpawnMaster can do this, please review the settings for the plugin and the example provided on how to do it.

At the top of the Mq2SpawnMater.ini ... put:

[Settings]
OnSpawnCommand="/multiline ; /vt 3 002 ; /popup SPAWN: ${SpawnMaster.LastMatch}!"
Enabled=on

I think I already had this in there though.

Let me look at it.... the macro works perfectly .... but if i fat fingered / mistyped that zone name in the SpawnCK.Ini file, then it will fail to lookup any mobs to check.

Ok, it's ALL coming back to me now . . . lol
INI function within MQ2 does not like commas when passing information to it.

I should have remembered this.. because KissAssist needed to be setup to convert zone names with commas to non comma varients within the KissAssist_Info.ini file.

At this point.. the following zones are having this issue that I can see so far....

Planes of Power ---
[Drunder, Fortress of Zek]+
[Torden, The Bastion of Thunder]+
[Vegarlson, The Earthen Badlands]+
[Eryslai, the Kingdom of Wind]+
[Doomfire, The Burning Lands]+

Secrets of Faydwer ---
[Crystallos, Lair of the Awakened]+

Seeds of Destruction ---
[Korafax, Home of the Riders]+

Underfoot ---
[Kernagir, The Shining City]+

House of Thule ---
[House of Thule, Upper Floors]+

Veil of Alaris ---
[Argath, Bastion of Illdaera]+
[Sarith, City of Tides]+
[Rubak Oseka, Temple of the Sea]+
[Erillion, City of Bronze]+

Rain of Fear ---
[Grelleth's Palace, the Chateau of Filth]+
[Evantil, the Vile Oak]+

The Darkened Sea ---
[Degmar, the Lost Castle]+

Its the INI function itself ... it is messing up when it encounters a comma ( , ) in the supplied data.

Until I work on a solution.... or get the INI function to handle commas in data pushed to it as a paramaeter without freaking out.. nothing you can do about it.

I'm just glad it wasn't me being slow

THANK YOU EASTER BUNNY !!!!!!

You heard the man .... MQ2 Ini function fixed now... works like a charm... so all zones now will return data properly if spelling is accurate.

 

[shiftup]

Xoneua is missing from your City of Dranik under SoD. Otherwise this is amazing and you're my hero, thanks

 

[TreeHuginDruid]

Thanks.. I had a double entry for Xangref .. and omitted Xoneua by mistake.

Its been corrected, and updated ini files posted.

 

[Maskoi]

I am not seeing any entries for the white and black wedding zones.

Of course not .. why would i be hunting named there??? lol Unless I'm trolling for a bride and looking to knock the groom off with a ninja nuke. (evil laugh)

Your entries for those 3 old world zones have been updated in the mq2spawnmaster.ini and the ini for the spawnck macro.
Thanks for your contribution.

 

[macroquester]

When I zone into an area with mobs up, I am voice telling one of my channels 'Battle'. I really don't want to do that. Is there a way I can prevent the VT?

The VT is repeated by the number of mobs that are up...

 

[TreeHuginDruid]

I'm pretty positive I removed the line for the /vsay on mobs during the last revision.

I just downloaded it from RG site to verify what is posted to production.. and I'm not seeing the /vsay command at all.

I see you downloaded ith 3 times on 5-1-2015 ... are you sure you overwrote / replaced the spawnck.mac in your redguides-macroquest\macros directory????

Just a shot in the dark.. some people maintain more than one or "different compiles from other sites".. just verify you are overwriting the correct macro from the compile you are using.

If you still have an issue... please post the entire content of the macro you are using so i can see what your dealing with.

Simple fix would be to locate the line that has the /vsay command in it.. and either delete the entire line or remark it out with a | in front of the line.

UPDATE

OK... i see what the issue is... At one point i had spawnck.mac announce via vsay .. i removed that a long time ago.. and placed that functionality only in the config file for mq2spawnmaster.

It is still there...

Open your MQ2Spawnmaster.ini file (in directory where plugins are.. not the macros directory).. remove the line in [Settings] that sais:

OnSpawnCommand="/multiline ; /vt 3 002 ; /popup SPAWN: ${SpawnMaster.LastMatch}!"

That should resolve your issue.

 

[macroquester]

Well, thanks for the reply. And the fix. Your help is appreciated.

 

[kknights]

So I've been using this a while and it's fantastic, thanks for posting.

I do have a question though - I've been going back and doing stuff in older xpacs and have been wanting to create lists for zones not originally included in the INI. For example, Relic, the Artifact City or Arcstone - Prophecy of Ro xpac in this case. I've made named lists following the format as other zones and added it to the correct INIs but it still won't recognize them. Am I missing something with adding new entries for the notifications? Or is it more complicated then adding new zone entries and named to SpawnCk and MQ2SpawnMaster?

 

[TreeHuginDruid]

No its that simple. Send me the ini via a pm and i'll see what's the issue.

As long as format is correct and zone name is correct it should work.

99% of the time its an incorrect zone name identifier...

If you are anal like me.. and get entries created for EVERY named in EVERY zone for a specific expansion (mine covers SoF and up ).. then I will ad it to the official release.

Once I get my new setup running and can access the files I'll hit ya up with that. Thanks for the reply!
