Question - Trying to 4 box with KISS, 2/4 are working

So I've set up KISS and the updater, and I'm running on Test if any of these are relevant details.

I set up some very basic INIs just to test out in some easy areas to get things running. I have 2/4 of my characters working. The SK tanks, fires his pet up, does his buffs, lifetaps, etc. The shaman is healing properly. I also have a bard and a wizard. I can't get either of them to work though. Neither of them ever actually 'engage' -- they say they're assisting at 95, and I get an ATTACKING message, then nothing. The wizard will just sit there, the bard will circle around behind his opponent and switch to melee twist. Then they never attack.

I notice on the SK I get a MQ2Melee message when he attacks, and the bard I never get that message. On the shaman I get messages on every cast/heal/buff, nothing on the wizard beyond ATTACKING.

The wizards problem is need health % values in the dps section. it needs to know what order to cast in. It goes from highest to lowest

Rich (BB code):
DPSInterval=2
DPS1=Icestrike|90
DPS2=Lightning Bolt|80
DPS3=Fire Bolt|70

not sure what is going on with the bard that ini looks ok. Is your bard right near the tank when he engages?

also on the bard after starting the macro /debugcombat may give you some clue why he is not attacking.
 
He is, he circles around as you'd expect from "behindonce", and then just sits there playing music.

I'll give the debug a go and try the health %s.

- - - Updated - - -

Strange, debug doesn't tell me much. Can't figure out how to paste from the MQ window
[MQ2] ATTACKING -> Plaguebringer <-
[MQ2] Attack On
[MQ2] == Starting melee twist
[MQ2] CombatReset: Enter

Never actually attacked though.

No dice, Wizard still won't go with the updated INI either.

that is really odd. The test compile is brand new might be a bug there. I will try to get some testing done this weekend to see if i can duplicate the issues. Are all of these toons grouped and have the sk as your MA?

How are you starting the toons with the macro?
 
I have the SK set with Role=Tank, so I just run /mac kissassist on him. For the rest I target him and then /mac kissassist - they all have Role=Assist.

I form the group after that with /invite, and then select the SK as main tank and main assist (don't know if the group flags are relevant or not)

- - - Updated - - -

I'm beginning to think it's something funny with the compile/plugins in general - I'm just doing some very basic things I think should work to test them, and getting no results.

Without loading kissassist, if I fire up MQ2, MQ2Posse, MQ2EQBC, MQ2Twist and some others load up. I can use MQ2EQBC fine. However, if I load say MQ2Cast manually, and then do something like /if (${Cast}) {/bc test} - I get no result. Also if I manually do /casting "Vampiric Embrace" -maxtries|2 it does nothing.

I see Plugin MQ2Cast loaded, but no further output from it.

- - - Updated - - -

Alright, so I seem to have figured it out. It was for some reason being /very/ picky about how I launch the game, and the order, etc. I have to load all 4 chars completely into the game before starting MQ2. If I do that, the plugins load/function normally. If for some reason I crash/etc, I have to completely close down all clients, kill MQ2, and sometimes reboot, and then start all of them again.

That said, all characters are working as expected now, so it wasn't a crazy macro/INI issue -- it's a funky MQ2/Windows 7 DLL loading issue.
 
When you have those issues, try /loadskin default and see if that fixes it without relogging or rebooting. Seems to happen to me from time to time as well, but a loadskin seems to fix most issues.
 
One issue I seem to have is everyones role, and how things are setup in the actual game for roles. I find that sometimes if my main assist isn't assisting the tank, and everyone else assisting the main assist, they will just sit there. Just experiment with who you are targeting when you /assist.
 
Kiss was design to always assist the TANK. Tank always = Main Assist and has nothing to do with the group role.
 
Nvm what I said then. Probably why I have issues. So even if its a merc tank, everyone should be assisting the merc...who assists the puller?
 
No one the tank will grab it as soon as its inside CampRadius. Same thing with the merc it will grab it as soon its in camp.
