I'm not sure what your question means "i also do not have the mq window not the mq2?" - There is the new macroquest console, which you can enable to be default visible in your macroquest.ini with
ShowMacroQuestConsole=1the "regular" mq2 window comes from mq2chatwnd - so you can load it with
/plugin mq2chatwnd or just /plugin chatwndIf you didn't use the migrator you would have the "out of the box default" settings for your configs and plugins.
This is what i recommend starting with:
download next via the RG launcher
hit the migrator tool (will move any configs/macros etc from old install) (has a vid too)
setup framelimiter (i have a quick vid on it)
Migrator: <https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/macroquest-migrator.2156/>
Framelimiter: <https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/mqnext-framelimiter-demo.78448/>
then:
/plugin groupinfo
/plugin targetinfo
/plugin xtarinfo
mental notes:
mq2map click is Control+Shift+Click
new easyfind self travel is Control+Click (reminder in find window title bar)
new easyfind group travel is Control+Shift+Click
one you get all that good stuff situated, I would jump right into BoxHud, Lootly, and ButtonMaster
some absolutely game changing stuff

I'm attempting to switch to Macroquest. I downloaded the migrator tool, ran it through powershell and now I'm getting this
EDIT: I figured it out. I never actually downloaded Macroquest{Next}. When I selected next via the Launcher I thought it was DLing Macroquest.

Hey Folks,
I downloaded MacroQuest, then used the MacroQuest Migrator that Knightly made to copy all my files into my "NEXT" folder that I placed on the desktop. Some things are not working right for me and I know it's me. It's not you!! I'll post new ones as I get them fixed.
Thanks for your patience
-- None of my Mesh are available so Easyfind won't work. The MQ2Nav folder inside the the Resource folder has 530 files.

Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? I love this plugin to quickly evaluate gear and augs for 30 toons.
Hi guys,
I think this is a Lua question , but I hope this is the right place to post it.
I used the Migrator and loaded my character up, they are running a few of Chat's plugins just fine and I wanted to try a few other things that are not working for me. /Lua ps , /Lua run buttonmaster, /Lua run alertmaster are all giving me an error saying this is not a valid command. I tried typing it in the MQ window as well. Any idea what I might be missing? /plugin groupinfo does work. I did copy the Lua files into the directories said.

right click on the mq icon by the clock, and start eqbc server.

This is going to sound confusing, so I'm sorry in advance -- the first error, the one with the docommand is just because of how the evaluate gets the last error -- which is telling you that you have an error totally unrelated to MQ2ItemScore. It’s just giving you the last command that errored out.
The second part is the actual error and I’ll have to look at it to see. Very little of the code was changed from what dewey gave me, so I’ll have to step through and see what the error is.
RG isn’t the place for RMT. Neither MQ or MQ2 modified your boot sector and it sounds like you’re talking about computer problems. I’d recommend starting a separate thread to help with that.

Can anyone help with this? Seen this? This is what I get when starting eqbcs via the MQ icon from the system tray.

The missing dll comes from windows update, but I've configured EQBCS to not require it, that change will be in the next build.

Thanks Brain. ))
Wanted to add a thanks for all the work on Next, I'm slowly beginning to uncover its potential. Besides seemingly loading faster, on an older laptop that ran 6 characters decent with Wire (not more than decent), I can now easily run 9, possibly 10 smoothly. I am still testing, but I brought up the resource monitor and I was like Wow, this is great ! What do you guys use for memory checking?
I made teh jump to next, so far it is running very smoothly and nice. When I do autologon on my crew, i get this crash very often. Like, 15 or so will log in, then 8 or so will crash, then the rest logon, When they crash, it moves my toons from middle monitor to another monitor, and even loaded up the daybreak launcher out of the blue. Also, i noticed i have models turned on now when i didn't before, i didn't' make any changes. Where do I even start to troubleshoot this error?
Are all your characters launching from the same EQ folder or different ones? To have some models on/off would require different eqclient.ini or WinEq type virtual ini files.
models just come from your eqclient.ini

Betting you aren’t using the default UI.
if you have a custom UI you need to edit the ini file to allow for it.
Fixed!
INI:
[UI_classic_spell_icons]
DynamicUI=1In the Groupinfo INI file just had to set DynamicUI to 1 instead of 0.

ya, but it was weird the game reverted back to some settings i hadn't had, like it defaulted back to defaults. This is pretty frustrating, i do auto logon, half login fine, then i get this crash on everyone that was loaded, then everyone else loads up on a different monitor which has a different resolution. Then, i have to drag them to the main monitor and move all my chat boxes around again, on like 15 toons.
And, when it crashes, the toons when i log them back in revert back to new models again, and graphics settings that i normally have turned off are now back on.
That's a graphics crash, while MQ may be contributing to it there's nothing in the call stack from MQ, it's all EQ. We don't modify the eqclient.ini (which is what stores your model settings). So anything getting modified there is likely a result of whatever happens when that crash happens and not anything MQ is specifically doing. This is likely related to your monitors having different resolutions and EQ getting dropped there, but it's not something I can reproduce with different resolutions myself.
