Question - Very New

[Streykat7]

Just coming back to EQ and found Redguides, man I wish I’d found you years ago, I’m very new to all this. My question is how to activate some parts ie Farming and Hunting how are these plugins activated? I tried /Mac farm and /farm to no avail. Please have pity on an old noob.

somebasics for you to help your thought process

a macro would be in your release -> macro folder
and to use it in game you would /mac macroname --- so you doing /mac farm was correct
to stop a macro you can just type /end (which is /endmacro)

if you wanted to try the plugin version - that is currently named MQ2FarmTest (added clicky link for easy reference for ya)
all plugins go in your Release folder and can be launched by /plugin pluginname --- so /plugin mq2farmtest
For this plugin, you can get the help menu once the plugin is loaded by typing /farm or /farm help

If you want to exit a plugin you can /plugin mq2farmtest unload

I'm real excited for you, it is so exciting opening the world that is MQ2/VV for the first time

Also - macros and plugins, while being very different things, can often have similar functions, but it is important to keep in mind that you can only run 1 macro at a time, so trying to /mac supercoolstuff while already running /mac omgvanillaisawesome would stop the one running and start up the other one. Multiple plugins can and will be running at the same time
