• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.
    Read more
    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

We all have them aliases or hotkeys that make our lives so much simpler. These can be full fledged commands or even Everquest hot buttons. Post yours here. Please identify what it is, what it does, and anything the person needs to know about using it.

Here's an example

Nav to me (Requires MQ2Nav)

/bca //play stop
/bca //nav spawn pc ${Me.ID}

Use Door

/bca //moveto ${Me.ID}
/bcaa //doortarget
/bcaa //click left door

/bsay (Target mob then issue this command with what you want to say)
/alias /bsay /multiline ; /bcaa //makemevisible ; /bcaa //target ID ${Target.ID} ; /bcaa //say

Good call, forgot it was level 2 @sl968

Rich (BB code):

Door/zone click - 2 line macro:
/bcga //doortarget
/bcga //click left door

to target me and cast
/bct buffername //casting "spirit of bih`li"|8| -targetid|${Me.ID} 

to target my target and cast
/bct buffername //casting "spirit of bih`li"|8| -targetid|${Target.ID}


StartAll (from tank, I use this so that I can easily swap between who is pulling in a group. I generally have one char other than tank with pulling parameters set up and simply change pullertank to tank and remove the assist)
/bcga //tar ID ${Me.ID}
/pause 6
/mac kissassist pullertank
/bcga //mac kissassist assist

PauseFollow (to make group members all pause KA and stick)
/bcga //camphere 0
/pause 6
/bcga //mqp on
/bcga //dismount
/bcg //stick ID ${Me.ID} uw 15

Resume
/bcga //mqp off
/bcga //stickoff
/bcga //camphere


Below is a list of most of my bcaa macros I used for running a 6man group - The majority are geared toward managing the group from my main SK tank:

Page1Button1Name=KA ASSIST TARGET
Page1Button1Line1=/bca //target id ${Target.ID}
Page1Button1Line2=/pause 1
Page1Button1Line3=/bca //mac kissassist
Page1Button1Line4=/pause 1
Page1Button1Line5=/bcaa //melee on

Page1Button11Name=END ALL
Page1Button11Line1=/bcaa //endmac
Page1Button11Line2=/pause 1
Page1Button11Line3=/bcaa //melee off

Page1Button7Name=PAUSE ON
Page1Button7Line1=/bcaa //mqp on
Page1Button7Line2=/pause 1
Page1Button7Line3=/bcaa //melee off

Page1Button8Name=PAUSE OFF
Page1Button8Line1=/bcaa //mqp off
Page1Button8Line2=/pause 1
Page1Button8Line3=/bcaa //melee on

Page1Button9Name=SWITCH TARGET
Page1Button9Line1=/bcaa //switch

Page2Button2Name=STICK TARGET
Page2Button2Line1=/bca //target id ${Target.ID}
Page2Button2Line2=/pause 1
Page2Button2Line3=/bca //stick 5

Page2Button9Name=STICK OFF
Page2Button9Line1=/bcaa //stick off

Page2Button7Name=TO MY POSITION
Page2Button7Line1=/bca //moveto loc ${Me.Y} ${Me.X} ${Me.Z}

Page3Button10Name=PETS ATTACK
Page3Button10Line1=/bca //target id ${Target.ID}
Page3Button10Line2=/pause 2
Page3Button10Line3=/bcaa //pet attack

I decided to make the fellowship one into a /alias called tofire

Individual
/alias /tofire /multiline ; /makemevisible ; /useitem fellowship reg

Group
/alias /tofireg /multiline ; /bcga //makemevisible ; /bcga //useitem fellowship reg

Thanks works great!

Get Quest (Requires my bsay alias from the previous post... Target mob then click button)

/bsay sleep (Edit to whatever the quest keyword is)
/delay 2
/bcaa //notify TaskSelectWnd TSEL_AcceptButton leftmouseup
 
Give Item Hotkey (Edit to change item name then click have an unlimited number of tunes turn in the item.)

/bca //target ID ${Target.ID}
/bcaa //itemnotify "Insert Item name here" leftmouseup
/bcaa //click left target
/bcaa //notify GiveWnd GVW_Give_Button leftmouseup
 
Here's an /evac alias for your entertainment that triggers the best available and ready Exodus/Egress AA or Succor Spell...
