[unmaintained] Very Vanilla MQ2 (Emulated servers)

Oh shit my apologies. Sorry about that. Thanks for holding my hand because apparently I'm a child.
 
Does this use MQ Next?? Or the older code base? I was looking around and I don't see any notice of it either way
 
pretty sure old, dont think its mitrgated over since it uses a very old server code with the rof2 build
 
been tempted have a little play around on eqemu espically with the non stop waves untill it stops,

Which is the most stable verison? believe people say you gotta go back a couple patches?

it isn't that it is unstable, it is that mule accidentally put some live updates in there that broke emu and didn't go back and fix it - so things like looting are a bit wonky

the april 28th one is the one you likely want to use

soon we'll have MQ for emu and that will be huge
 
awesome, using the class plugins on emu will be fun :-)
theres some great servers over there that they would run lovely on

think last time i tryied i do rememebr my eq client crashing when attacking mobs on the mq2eskay i will try to see if its any different now

well, the class plugins are same as before - limited support as so many emu's vary --- you will want to add "vampiric embrace" to your blocked buffs on emu

1. unload plugin
2. load in shadowknight
3. add vampiric embrace to blocked buffs
4. load mq2eskay
 
never really used them on emu,
and okay will do that and try,

are mq2mage/enchanter on there too? trying think of what to play across there

be nice be able play with Sk/Clr/Sham/Rog Plugins then add a couple more,
thinking Proj lazerus server, alot of stock spells are used, some out of era, but yeah
 
MQ2Mage doesnt work. Gives a windows error about entry points. Probably from using an old compile so that looting works. Enchanter works fine though.

You have to perpetually run the plugins under BYOS on Lazarus, though, the plugins don't know how to buff and will spam low level buffs that get blocked.(No level requirements on buffs on Lazarus, so you should be running around with lvl 70 buffs at all time) Or you can manually add every single buff to your blocked list.

Well, yes. Plugins that didn't exist on older builds wouldn't work trying to use a build of it that didn't match.

I used RG MQ2 for Lazarus when I played. It wasn't great because of how their custom things work, but use the same spell names/IDs or skills/skill IDs. Instead of making new spells they just adjusted the originals, or altered skill values. Mostly to add effects or increase damage. While not a bad thing it would cause problems for plugins meant to be used on Live servers using official values for everything.

My advice is to use KissAssist if it's all you are familiar with. It's what I did with a decent degree of success. If you are open to new things give their MQ2 compile called E3 a try. It's allegedly really really good for emu servers and tuned specifically for the oddities that exist in the emu space. You will be living without some of what RG has to offer though. So it's a mixed bag no matter which way you lean. I personally love RG so I just stuck with it and didn't give E3 much of a shot. KA made it easier to automate my groups and I am familiar with it.

Speaking of automation, do not AFK farm things there. Dhaymion is a really good server OP and doesn't like to punish people, but that's kinda his line in the sand. Couple friends I played with got a bit relaxed with their AA grinding and got some suspension time for being AFK. After that point they were tested regularly, close to daily. I know I wouldn't have liked feeling like I was being watched all the time, so im just mentioning it to help you avoid anything like that happening. The temptation is always there.

idk if I am allowed to link their server specific E3, so if I am not allowed feel free to edit out this link:

Did you figure out a way to automate looting on Lazarus using RG MQ2 at all Slade?
 
When I played there looting was working with RG emu compile. It's been a while since I played there though. Definitely not since MQ was released.

Was there a specific MQ2 patch that broke looting?
 
Does this mean we can switch back from the April build to current build and Auto looting will work again?

Been playing on Project Lazarus a couple months now and love it.

It still didn’t work for me using the very latest build. No errors (so different to the Null issue that I think has been fixed here). But on Lazarus the toon doesn’t even attempt to try and loot.
 
KA errored out too on my mage(I didn't try KA on other toons I was so happy my CWTN plugins were working). I just switched back to April build till the EMU version Redbot is talking about is done. Hopefully the CWTN plugins can be tweaked, once in a raid with CWTN plugins and you cant set a group assist you have to run them on manual, seems a raid assist cant be set either on Project Laz or if it can nobody has the AA needed to set one...not too sure how Raid Tool works, I normally just accept and someone else handles raid tool.

No, we can not make an emu have something they can't. I'm sorry about that

I believe this is correct... so long as you are using some kind of "backpack" and not a trade skill container (mixing bowl, tool box...)

Yes, noticed that too, cant have "deluxe toolbox" in every slot, then the looting would stop because "no free space".
