I’m getting this since the patch. Never seen it before. Only seeing it on Emu launch.

that appears to be mq2 live - emu did't get rebuilt today i don't believe

are you *sure* you're launching emu?
 
Yeah. Launched through the launcher 6 instances with the downtime today and took the screenshot. Made sure it was selected to Emu.

Didn’t see the error on Live when I launched.

did you still have your mq2 live loaded when you fired up emu?
 
I usually launch Redguides launcher and launch everything from that. Then do the auto login. Would it matter if in the system tray a MQ2 is open for Live and Emu?
Getting same error for Live as well, but it’s not messing with anything once in game. I’m just dismissing it for now. Thought I’d make you aware.
 
Update Sic, you were correct when you asked if I had Live and Emu opened up at the same time. Sorry forgot to update you on this. Everything went back to normal once I opened up only one of either Live or Emu.

Also, if I could pick your brain for one moment. I started playing on the Emu server FVproject. It's amazing btw, but having issues with CWTN class plugins. I use Cleric, Eskay, Monk, Shaman, and Rogue currently (love them all btw) I also play on live with them as well. My issue is that everything works flawlessly on Emu server other than chase, and camp. For some reason when I put them into chase mode and the follow button isn't clicked, my MA is set they will not react whatsoever. I have been using /bca //tar NAME /bca //stick hold !front uw to circumvent this issue, but would love to have them react like they do on my Live accoutns. I did notice on this server, that mq2nav is operational, but nothing works other than run to me or run to the toon I select in my group menu. When you click find on the map, nothing comes up since this server is barebones classic exp. that allows mutliboxing.

Buffing, healing, all work great just not chasing and assisting while my driver is in vorpal mode. Could this be related to the mq2nav not working on this server?

if mq2nav isn't working or you don't have meshes loaded, then you won't be able to assist mode or chase or pull

Copy..what I figured. Ran a complete Mesh update to know avail. Still loving the plugins on this server, will just have to 1/2 old school it with a mix of writing my own macros. Thanks for the quick reply!
 
I do testing on E9-Profusion server. Something I've noticed even with Nav available and Meshes loaded is that sometimes I'll randomly lose the MA designation on my toon, which will cause my toons to stop assisting/chasing.

There is certainly some weirdness that goes on on EMU that sometimes can be accounted for (Such as I was able to get the XTarget window to cooperate and not keep "ghost" mobs on them anymore with a lil code kungfu.) But I can't account for all the issues such as randomly losing who the MA is for some reason, typically after zoning.

So even if you get MQ2Nav loaded and Meshes going, it's possible that another bug will cause you to lose your MA designation when zoning. You can disband the group, reform and reassign the MA every time this happens I believe. But it's still a nuisance.

This has happened several times. One day, I log on and can camphere, chase, and the next moment nada..and yes for me at least I have only experienced this on FVproject server. But I'm loving the server so making a lot more commands than I would like. I have realized how spoiled I have become specially using mq2nav!

After updating to the new build today my kissassist characters are getting stuck when looting. I'm using NINJADVLOOT with LootOn=1 in the Kiss Ini. It goes to attempt looting but I have to manually click on the Loot All button for the character to pick up the items. Error in MQ window is SLOT IS NULL : Could not send notification to 60 Rightmouseup

Friend was reporting this as well. Haven’t had a chance to check into it. Have you or anyone been able to fix it yet.
 
will likely require changing any item clicking to /itemnotify "item name" leftmouseup etc
 
Currently i play on the rizlona server using mq2/very vanilla. Since the live servers will migrate to 64 bit, i am currently not willing to invest more time on rizlona because of the uincertainty if/when we can continue to play there using mq2/very vanilla. So I was looking around for a custom server, that has live like content (meaning no custom content) where i can start using mq2/very vanilla. To my surprise, i was not able to find any server where very vanilla was allowed. For example PEQ and EZ custom servers do not allow very vanilla. They both allow mq2, but only very specific builds. Can anyone tell me of a custom server has has halfway decent population who supports playing like i did on Rizlona? Would be really cool. BTW, did you ever think of creating an own private server where we can play with mq2/very vanilla? THAT would be cool.

I'm sorry to hear you giving up on your live toons because of something that is unlikely to be a thing.

of course, anything is possible within reason.

There are several pro-mq emu servers, like enine's profusion
 
Here's a potential solution. Take it easy on me, because I've never looked into the framework of how these macros work before this.

Change in Ninjadvloot.inc

Old:
Sub LootItem(int i,DoWhat,WhichButton)
/if (${Debugloot}) /echo DEBUGLOOT Enter Sub LootItem ${i} ${DoWhat} ${WhichButton}
/declare CorpseItemID int local ${Corpse.Item[${i}].ID}
/nomodkey /shift /itemnotify ${Corpse.Item[${i}].InvSlot} ${WhichButton}mouseup
/delay 5s ${Window[ConfirmationDialogBox].Open} || !${Corpse.Item[${i}].NoDrop}
/if (${Window[ConfirmationDialogBox].Open}) /nomodkey /notify ConfirmationDialogBox Yes_Button leftmouseup
/delay 5s ${Cursor.ID} || ${WhichButton.NotEqual
}
/if (${DoWhat.Equal[Destroy]} && ${Cursor.ID}==${CorpseItemID}) /destroy
/delay 5s !${Corpse.Item[${i}].ID}
/if (${Cursor.ID}) /call CheckCursor
/if (${Debugloot}) /echo DEBUGLOOT Leave Sub LootItem
/return

New:
Sub LootItem(int i,DoWhat,WhichButton)
/declare itemSlot int local 0
/varcalc itemSlot ${i}-1
/if (${Debugloot}) /echo DEBUGLOOT Enter Sub LootItem ${i} ${DoWhat} ${WhichButton}
/declare CorpseItemID int local ${Corpse.Item[${i}].ID}
/nomodkey /notify LootWnd LW_LootSlot${itemSlot} ${WhichButton}mouseup
/delay 5s ${Window[ConfirmationDialogBox].Open} || !${Corpse.Item[${i}].NoDrop}
/if (${Window[ConfirmationDialogBox].Open}) /nomodkey /notify ConfirmationDialogBox Yes_Button leftmouseup
/delay 5s ${Cursor.ID} || ${WhichButton.NotEqual
}
/if (${DoWhat.Equal[Destroy]} && ${Cursor.ID}==${CorpseItemID}) /destroy
/delay 5s !${Corpse.Item[${i}].ID}
/if (${Cursor.ID}) /call CheckCursor
/if (${Debugloot}) /echo DEBUGLOOT Leave Sub LootItem
/return​

Hosting your own server on PEQs database is extremely easy. There are guides that walk you through how to do it and even for someone who isn't skilled at programming it's extremely easy to do. All of the files and information are available at the EQ Emu main site.

Project Lazarus also is a good option with VV. Most of those servers list/promote E3 because it's the most commonly used flavor on Emu. But using VV in lieu of E3 is fine. I have done it that way on multiple emu servers because I am familiar with RG builds and don't feel the need to learn E3. I have never personally had an issue with this on any of the emu servers that allow MQ.
 
Hey guys. I'm new here and to MQ2 in general though Ive been playing EQ for 20+ years. I got MQ2 and Kissassist working great for auto pulling, but the only thing I cant seem to figure out is the auto loot. I see there's a setting in the individual character inis for autoloot and I set it to on for the looter. He bends down to loot, but then I get an error saying, "SLOT IS NULL: Could not send a notification to 68 Rightmouseup". I was able to find a thread about it saying that whatever was throwing that error is no longer used/updated and to use mq2autoloot instead, but I took a look at that macro and it doesnt seem to list the EMU version as compatible.

Are there any versions of auto loot that I could use in conjunction with kissassist on an emu server? Any feedback would be appreciated and I do apologize if this is a re-post of a common issue.
 
the ninjaadvloot.inc that kiss uses for looton=1 is brokes, and no one been fixing it.
 
this is an issue with the emu compile that mule said he was going to fix, but hasn't

I moved this convo to the emu build thread - you could use an older built in the history tab, or there are some suggestions on what to update the ninjaadv include to
 
Sic, do you have a link for the suggestions you mentioned? Would love to give those a shot before I revert to an older version.
