found small bug with cleric, when low on heath, he sat down targeted himself and cast heal spell and continued till full health. then while still targeting himself tries to find a rat to kill but doesn't go to the rat because he is targeting himself.
this is while tank is dead. if its intended to do that ignore this.

I see the bug, the cleric thinks he is casting the buff spell and continues to cast heal. Thanks.

MoveAway

| *06/17/2021 - Cannonballdex

| If you have moveaway set to TRUE the toon will only move away if your mercenary is active and at the moveawayhp set pct . Then clear target if he has 100 pct aggro on xtarget 1, 2 or 3 then re-engage when aggro is lost.
If you have a GOLD account this will work great for you. If you have a free account you may want to keep aggro on yourself for fear your merc is probably going to die with 3 mobs on you.

In essence if you get aggro on two or three mobs and...

For Temp or Blessing of Temp use, I augmented Line 1760:
INI: 
        /if (${Select[${Me.Class.ShortName},CLR]} && !${Me.Buff[Gloomingdeep Guard].ID} && !${Me.Buff[Courage].ID} && !${Me.Buff[Blessing of Temperance].ID} && !${Me.Buff[Temperance].ID} && ${Me.GemTimer[1]}==0) {

Reason: This mac would keep pausing to try and buff Courage every few seconds with me having Temp on.

Cannon,

I'm in the process of running two groups through the tutorial - one at a time btw - not all at once :)

I'm finding that the tutorial is just rushing past some of the starter quests and then getting stuck killing rats and bats endlessly.

It definately has issues with Absor and the weapon exchange as well as Vahlara.


1626792110607.png

It gets the silk, but then returns to the bat/rat area and just kills them over and over.

Not sure but wanted to let you know. This is my go-to macro when starting new chracters. Not sure if it's an incompatbility with Next or perhaps something changed?

Cold

Did you let the macro finish? Sometimes if your level is too low on a free account it will level up before it moves on.

No! I didn't know that, and so once it just kept killing stuff over and over (you get .2 per kill) I just stopped it and left. I was level 5 at the time. I'll try another one later today - thank you for the quick feedback!
 
From my experience once Lesson is activated, you should get to 7 or 8 on free account within 30 minutes. I think 8 or 9 with silver or gold, if I remember.

I have a feeling something is not right then. I have another guy in the tutorial and he's still killing rats and he's just level 5 after a bit over an hour.

For example, the Absor quest that the macro doesn't complete was, "Hand me your weapon and I'll give you back a sharpened one" I don't think that's level blocked at all, but since you don't finish that, I feel that the wheels come off the bus and it gets stuck killing lvl 2 bats.
 
Suggestion: When the toon hits Level 5 have them travel to Crescent Reach and perform the quests for Disgruntled Boawb for the weapon upgrade, then return to the tutorial and complete the rest. This would speed it up a bit I think.
 
Is there a way to tweak the macro for pre-merc servers (TLP)? Mercenaries for Hire would need to be disabled

shaman keeps casting inner fire over and over during battle this is on rizlona

Do you have any other buffs blocking it? Other than Gloomingdeep Guard or Skin Like Wood. or did you change the order of your spells, I think heal should have been in slot 1 and inner fire in slot 2 of the spell bar. The only two things I can think of off hand that would cause this.

yeah i had full compliment of druid buffs on , maybne that was why innerfire kept firing but either way i just deleted those lines and got through it great macro thanks again
 
Love the macro! I've been using it a lot on new FTP characters I'm constantly creating since they suspended my mains! Thank you so much for this!

I made one small addition to the code. At line 1360 I added

/call FarmStuff "a_Gloomingdeep_warrior"

simply to make the farming go a bit faster during the Flutterwing stage. The Locksmith doesn't spawn very fast and there weren't too many slave wardens, but there were tons of warriors in the area.

===================================

I also wanted to point out that it can help a lot if a person does a /melee save before running the macro and then inserting some Melee optimization into the ..\config\server_character.ini file. I did this because I found the default settings cause the character not to turn and face the mob many times.

For my DPS and Casters I've been using the following:

[CODE title="Sample Mq2Melee settings."][MQ2Melee]
backoff=0
bash=1
begging=1
disarm=1
enrage=1
facing=1
infuriate=1
kick=1
melee=1
plugin=1
provokeend=20
provokemax=1
provokeonce=1
resume=75
slam=1
stickbreak=1
stickmode=1
stickrange=20
taunt=1
withstand=20
stickcmd=moveback ${If[${Math.Calc[${Target.MaxRangeTo}*0.8]} > 19,15,${Math.Calc[${Target.MaxRangeTo}*0.8]}]} !front loose
version=8.802
[/CODE]

For the tanks I change !front to front.
 
Got the itch for some Live (well Test) EQ tonight. I wanted to play Test but I wasn't able to download/patch for Test since it was patch day. I made a new group on Live, which meant some Tutorial. I remember seeing this macro and figured I would give it a go. It is fantastic. Great job on this! Didn't have a single problem with it at all on all 6 characters thus far.

Rallos Zek has smiled upon this macro
 
When using it today, it stops after trying to locate and loot the lore glooming silk items you get from the spider clusters. I had to stop and reload the mac to get moving again. Will notify if I experience anything else.

Not sure whats up with that. They shouldn't be lore, you need 4 of them to turn in. shrug.
 
I run the macro and after awhile all it does is kill a kobold infiltrators over and over
 
currently running a new toon, and I keep getting this error. Only finishes the first Absor quest to get charm.

Have newest meshes and not using anything else.

MQ title box says ""Group Mana Check" then flashes "Going to kill NULL", and when yen you /end the mac, it navigates to the corpse summoner

No Idea, I ran this on four toons last week and it worked great. Not sure what changed, will have to take a closer look.

You can try changing
/declare Debugging bool outer TRUE
to
/declare Debugging bool outer FALSE
