Release Tutorial.mac [Macro] Longest Tutorial Macro I've seen. v1.7

[Cannonballdex]

Here is what I got. I ran this dozens of times. For the most part it will finish all the quests. The only think I didn't figure out was how to assign the merc as main tank. Once you get the mercenary change him to Main Tank and it will sail through fairly easy. Feel free to work out any bugs.

Changed some trouble spots in the navmesh for tutorialb
Edit: Removed the spam about changing merc to main tank

Also, The free merc is junk, If you are free account you may want to bump up the level to proceed areas of the macro (two places for each one) otherwise you will die alot. Also, if you are a bard don't start up a song or you will not sit when you are low on mana due to casting.

/if (${Me.Level} < 4) to /if (${Me.Level} < 6) in two places
/if (${Me.Level} < 6) to /if (${Me.Level} <8) in two places
/if (${Me.Level} < 11) to /if (${Me.Level} < 13) in two places

Added checks for account status so you don't have to change anything.

Tried to no avail. Figured out how to right click and open the window and pop up the window with Roles, but that was it.

/if (${Mercenary.State.Equal[ACTIVE]} && !${Group.MainTank.Name.Equal[${Mercenary.CleanName}]}) {
|                /grouproles set "${Mercenary.CleanName}" 1
                /call AssignGroupRole set "${Mercenary.CleanName}" 1
                /echo setting tank merc
            }

/docommand /grouproles set "${Mercenary.CleanName}" 1

/docommand /grouproles set "${Mercenary.CleanName}" 1

I spent quite a while trying to figure this out without any success.
-- Even if you just type "/grouproles set *MarcNameHere* 1" in game, it doesn't work. That seems like an issue with EQ itself.
-- you can simulate a right click on the merc
/notify GroupWindow GW_Gauge1 rightmouseup
-- but then MQ doesnt access the context menu/window, it just lists everything in every context menu ive looked at as NULL. it occurs to me at this time, that all the stuff like that probably has to be programmed into MQ, and it hasnt been done, or maybe because of the huge amount of context menus all with different options its not doable? ive done a lot of searching without success, CTWN posted on it a few years ago trying to figure out how to do it.

Added a half dozen new quests.
Created a new navmesh file for tutorialb (find these in the this Tutorial.zip file)
Scaled the macro for Free Account vs. Silver and Gold because Free Account Mercs Suck
Too many new things updated to remember
If you run a Gold account and set merc to Main Tank you will finish fastest. (less healing downtime)
Otherwise just create a toon esc into tutorial and /mac tutorial
Optional would be to change the mercenary to Main Tank after you receive the mercenary...

You need to download the update below that one to get the zip file for the tutorialb navmesh. Just the tutorial.mac file is there so when you run the patcher it will download the main file when it is updated automatically.

Use the navmesh from there and then use the latest tutorial.mac from the download link.

[Cannonballdex]

Go to the download page of the macro and download the first two updates in the list. the second one is the zip file.

 

[Flipsutter]

Thank you for linking the file. I didn't see it on the page.

This is a history of the updates. Once you overwrite your tutorialb file you should only have to download the tutorial.mac in the future for any updates.

 

[Flipsutter]

Here is what I see when I click on Macros and then the Macro Page

 

[Cannonballdex]

To save confusion on the download. The latest download is the newest Tutorial.mac

You also need to overwrite your tutorialb navmesh from the previous update. After you update your navmesh file you can always use the latest version unless something comes up that the navmesh needs adjusted and then it will be posted in the update.

So I was watching this FREE account trying to kill Krenshin and getting spanked. Next update will take you to 14 before trying to attempt him. Silver and Gold seem to do great at level 10. Big Difference in merc power.

Kinda sucks, looks like the only way for a Free account to finish the main boss Krenshin is to level up on Gnikan to 14.

More Enhancements

More FREE friendly but takes a long time (Do not recommend trying to finish this with FREE account) gets to 13ish and then a long road to 14 but will eventually finish.
Added more mobs to ignore list that are not attack-able such as slaves.
Changed some radius stuff and locs.

Don't forget to grab the Navmesh file for tutorialb in the (2021-04-18 at 7:05 AM) download) you only need that file from the zip.

found a small bug, if a druid is in the tutorial and gives you sow, you will sit there trying to cast the worn totem until you remove sow.

 

[Cannonballdex]

The latest update should have fixed that. But looking at it now I had the opposite check.. Will get this updated. Thanks.

will be running the mac tonight will report any errors I find.

update: I see something different all ready so I looked at the mac code, free/silver/gold settings for killing.
I'm silver and was close to death both on the spider tamer and the queen. it will take me up an extra lvl before trying the kill. 2 thumbs up on that one.

Update2: After every death you should make it that the character gets the glomming deep shield buff by saying "blessed" to the guy, because after every death, if your merc is on tank roll, hes dead and you dont have him for 2-5mins.

Update3: Sometimes when your merc is dead and ready to be revived, but you die in a fight, after you come back to life and revive your merc, hes shows as revived but not in your group untill you die again.
Posible solution to this is to check if merc is alive but not in group then to suspend him, wait the 5 mins and reactivate him again.

Update4: bug: currently at level 9 / After death and reviving toon will run over to the preast of luclin and attack. i had to hit esc to remove target then he runs back down to kill.

More Checks for finishing broken tasks

Fixed some more issues with tasks that would not finish if you were to stop the macro in the middle of a task before it was complete.

The macro is meant to be started and finish without any intervention other than the optional setting mercenary to Main Tank.

Gold Account Mercenaries set on Main Tank is pretty much the golden route. Fastest finish time with little or no deaths.

Silver Account Mercenaries are a bit slower and should be run set to Main Tank. For the best scenario. Silver...
