Question - Spell stuff from the command line

[Wolfborn]

Any way to memorize and / or cast spells from the command line?

I tried /memspell ${Roar of the Lion}, /memspell "Roar of the Lion", /memspell "${Roar of the Lion}" and about a dozen other including /memorize, /mem and any other combination I could think of.

Asking because I'm looking at different INIs and see a spell I want to put in my line up. Now I have to sort through hundreds of spells trying to determine what category it's in etc...
Be much easier to just type it in and be done with it.

well, there is the MQ core slash command for memorizing

/memspell # "spellname"

Attempts to memorize "spellname" into gem #. Any spellname with more than one word must be surrounded by quotes.
Example

   /memspell 1 "Shallow Breath"

or there is the MQ2Cast plugin commands

/memorize

Syntax:

/memorize "name" [gem]

As with the /casting command above, the /memorize command can take spell names or IDs, and can use gem# or just the numbers themselves. The gem# or number can also be appended to the end of the name.

See the following examples:

/memorize "Minor Shielding"
/memorize "Minor Shielding" 1
/memorize 288|gem1

Multiple spells can be memorized with the same line, such as the following example:

/memorize  "1234|1" "gate|2" "cannibalize|gem4"

As with /casting, the plugin will attempt to immobilize you before memorizing the spell

You may also be interested in the plugins capability to change spells as a set

/sss

Spell Set Save - This will save your any number of your currently memmed spells into a spell set.
Syntax:

/sss "name" [gems]

Name is what you want your spell set to be called. If no gems are specified, all your gems are saved (ie. 123456789ABC). You can specify a smaller subset if needed.

/sss dps 1238 
/sss dps 12ABC
/sss wunshi 5

Thanks Warlock.

I had already looked at the Wiki for Mq2cast and glanced over the Macroquest2 site.
The problem is.. none of those commands work from the command line. Ie.. I can type /echo ${Me.Race} and see my race in the MQ2 window.
I want to type /memspell 1 "Roar of the Lion" hand have it memorized in slot 1.

Is it possible?

 

[Warl0ck45]

always has for me. Just tested it ingame.

The plugin one works as well.

Are you trying to send this over EQBC? Putting it in a macro? putting it in a hotbutton?

Be aware that the spell has to be exactly correct, as in "Roar of the Lion Rk. II" if that is what your toon has. Otherwise you will need something like

/memorize "${Spell[Roar of the Lion].RankName}" 1
/memorize "Roar of the Lion Rk. II" 1

/memspell 1 "${Spell[Roar of the Lion].RankName}"
/memspell 1 "Roar of the Lion Rk. II"

also bear in mind there are the occasionally "hickups" where SOE/DBG put in an odd space, or off rank mispelling. I think some of the developers ironed out most of those when working out the RankName section of the code, but it is possible one can still pop up. For instance my shaman's "Premonition" spell in code keeps popping up "Premonition I", which is not how it is in the spellbook, so on my FTP shaman I leave that buff off (other accounts i use the AA)

I'll give it another try today.
Are you running any macro when you try it?

 

[toots]

I use it on my bars all the time to memorize and cast run speed/invis when I want to move my group around.
/bct bars //memspell # spellname

 

[Wolfborn]

I don't know what I did today but it's working.

I even used the same syntax I was using yesterday. I had already found the spell and right clicked to get the spelling, capitalization and apostrophes correctly input into my command line.
Tried it on different toons with different spells. Nothing, zip, nada. Not even an error message.
Maybe something strange going on with my PC. I noticed yesterday that one of my Boxer windows was running very slow, choppy and almost unusable.
Took a look in task manager and it's up under "svchost" instead of "isboxer" like the others were.
May be time for a flush and reload.

I also have several bars full of those type commands. Invis up, levi up, drop invis, all target my target etc... Never tried memming a spell tho. Good tip.

Thanks for the help.

I do something similar... I am ALWAYS binding those that can to a spot so I type

/bcg //memspell 12 "Bind Affinity"

then I do

/bcg //casting "Bind Affinity"

This causes ANY toon that CAN bind to my camp, TO bind to my camp!

in my social macro on my tank I have the following macro

/bcg //memspell 12 "Bind Affinity"
/pause 30
/bcg //keypress f1
/bcg //casting "Bind Affinity"

what this does is tells the toons to mem the spell in gem 12, wait for it to cooldown, target yourself, and cast Bind!

Well Wolfborn, if it is any help, I have had rare occasions where stuff just was not working quite right with MQ. I am no programmer, but I think it may be a hiccup during injection.

You may try "/unload" which will unload MQ , then right clicking on the MQ icon and selecting "Refresh Injection" which will reload MQ. Test if that does it for you the next time things are a little off. It is also possible a Windows issue. As I understand it MQ utilized some function that are part of Windows (and we know how well that runs, especially over time if you leave your PC running) Its a tired old suggestion but, sometimes a simple cold reboot does fix things as well =)

I've had similar problems, and more so recently. If I have to camp my crew out, more often than not, Its far less trouble to just re-boot and start them up fresh. I dont know why it has been more common recently. I have been getting a lot of weird problems after camping or re-starting kiss a few times after tuning an ini. Cold boot is the cure all
