Any plugin requests, post here.


**EDIT**
NOTE: All of these plugin requests, if possible, will be made by me and available on my website (still need to ask Yammers if I'm allowed to give out the URL, though I don't see a problem with it.) My site is not available yet though, it will probably be a week or two before it's ready for the public. On my site, I will possibly use what I planned a long time ago and never got around to, which is set up a packet sending library that, simply put, edits the PacketID, size and structure of the send packet function and calls it. This will be very different from a traditional send packet function that all the cheat websites, including NA, use now, but it will be open source and allow users with the correct access to code their own packet plugins.

However, it is more than likely (95% chance) that I will code MQ2 so that you must login to use it and it will verify your access with my website. I will provide a send packet function in the public source code, but it will be a naked function and grab the 'real deal' from the website, if you have access. That way I can allow my users to send packets without anyone stealing the send packet source, prevent TONS of new MQ2 sites to open, and if it starts to get abused then I can close it without having to worry about the fact that it's now a public code and everyone has it.

On another note, and my last comment, the reason that I am posting this stuff on NA is two reasons. One is that I have been a member of NotAddicted/RedGuides for a LONG time and have always considered this my MQ2 home (F-H was original but they're dead.) Because I am so fond of this website, I will be putting a choice few of the requests I fill for public use on this website and put the rest on my website. Another reason is that my website has no users right now (seeing as how it's not even done yet) and I would like to get some requests/opinions from the public view with a bigger population.

i'd love a plug in that you could tell it the next aa you wanted and it wouldn't let you spend any aa's until you get it, I have a horrorable habit of clearing my aa bank every night before i log with is getting me a ton... of cheap aa's
 
How about a Macro that will run to loc to loc and kill mobs and return to start location?

Just an idea.

Just like the old advpath hunter macros that are broke.

I have a mac almost finished that I have been modifying for my sk. Problem is few strings of code I have too figure out since I dont have much skill in logic coding.
 
Higamorph - That would be an incredibly easy plugin to make, but why not just used MQ2AASpend? You can set that up to automatically buy AA's for you when you get enough AA points banked up.

Dbladestorm - I'm actually working on a WoWGlider type program for EQ. Basically you set up a path and save it, then the program (it's not MQ2) will run up and down that path, killing mobs as it sees them.
 
My personnal peeve at the moment is MQ2piggyzone, it crashes about 1/3 the time i use it. I'd like to see it more stable.

I'd really like to see the waypoint list command fixed. Being old its hard for me to remember the names of the waypoints I set in each zone.

The greatest would be a way to solo (instant kill) raid lvl mobs or any mob.... ah well, guess i'll keep dreaming.
 
hoosier - I'm actually working on updating a zoning plugin so that there are no crashes, or at least a significantly reduced amount of crashes. As far as soloing raid lvl mobs, that is something that would be quite expensive and you won't ever find on NA.
 
Well the problem with that is in order to make an AFK xp/AA macro then there needs to be some kind of exploit so that you can get fast experience AFK. I promise that if I find any areas that can be AFK xp'd then I will make a macro for it.
 
I'd like to see the standard "Impossible, or to hard, just use a macro" types of plugins made.

For instance, Unless I've missed it (and I was gone from EQ a while) I'd like to see an ini driven plugin for refreshing clickies, self buffs, and to handle buff requests.

I'm no expert in plugin code, and have only ever written one, and by a stoke of luck it did what I wanted. I'm not the best macro programer out there but I can make a macro do just about anything I want with a little research. IMO though, a plugin to handle what I'm asking for though shouldn't be too hard, since all the variable aspects should be handled in the ini, and not the code itself.

have the ini Char based, for example:

MQ2BuffMaintenance_Character.ini

Then break it into sections:

[clickies]
doclickies=1
clickiestotal=2
clickie1=Name of Clicky 1
clickie2=Name of Clicky 2

[selfbuffs]
doselfbuffs=1
selfbufftotal=2
selfbuff1=Name of Self Buff 1
selfbuff2=Name of Self Buff 2

[dobuffs]
dobuffs=1
dobuffsfilter=all(guild, raid, group, elist, alist) (where elist and alist are the exclude or allow list)
dobuff1=buff 1
dobuff1trigger=buff 1, buff pls


So on and so forth, I think you understand what I mean.

I ahve macro's that handle all of that, but I think it would be more smooth if it were handles in a plugin, in my case for use when playing on a raid, group manually, unless some new TLO were build into it, to allow the plugin to communicate with a macro to ensure smooth operation.

But that is what I would like to see, I know some macro's in the past took into account a large list of clickies, searched for them, and remembers if you had any. (IE: Krust) using something ini driven, removes that burden, but does require some setup. So it's a trade off.

Actually, if there is any reliable Ghost Kill or the such that comes back, I have no qualms with including it in the compile. If it came to a point where it was being overly exploited, I would also have no qualms with removing it, if need be.
 
HardOne - This would be really easy to make, you're right. I could easily make this in an hour or two. What is it EXACTLY that you want though, because the way you explained it I am a little confused but I think I have the general idea. You want to set up the plugin to read from the INI and if any of your buffs (that you can set in the INI) wear off then you want the plugin to detect that and recast, including clickies, correct? You also want to set up buff requests in the INI so that if another player sends a tell to you with specific text then you will target that player and cast the buff on them (also the INI would let you set it up so it could be sent to you via tell, group, raid, or whatever combination you want) right? Let me know if there's anything I'm missing here.

Jmo - I know that you wouldn't have a problem putting it up here, but all of the developers that have the ability to create such a plugin either don't want it released at all (such as brainiac) or would want to sell it themselves via either their own website or to another person/website. So unless someone from NA creates it or if NA buys it, then I don't see it ever being posted here.

Higamorth - I don't see anyone using this plugin at all other than you to be honest. Can you set up MQ2AASpend to do what you're requesting or would you like me to build it for you? It's an incredibly easy plugin to code so it's really no big deal, but I just don't want to spend time on something only a few people at most will use unless I need to.

I didn't think anyone would... *sigh* I'll just have to start smashing my hands when i reach for the aa screen.
 
My Rambling was a little vague for as much detail as I included.

Basically, I want a plugin to keep up my self buffs and clickies, but smart enough to wait until I'm out of combat, and not moving (also smart enough to not cast while invis) preferably using a duration check, to recast before it fades.

Not necessarily for me, but keeping up an aura, or handling that with the self buffs would be nice also (enchanters would love this)

Then additionally, I want it to handle buff requests, just like your standard afkmacro would, the part for guild, group etc, was supposed to be a filter, so not anyone can requests a buff and get it, they would need to be in your raid, group, guild, or on a specific list.

hope that clears it up a bit.
 
Just curious if you are going to do some type of deal for people who had previously signed up for your site before it disappeared?

Not that I did but i do remember people that were signed up for your site and had paid for it, then it just disappeared. I have no idea if you reimbursed them or not. I'm just asking.
 
i never got reimbursed, if your talking about corruptionplugins? lol but he was really helpful while hte site was running
 
thats kinda why i asked, he came here before promoting his site to a bunch of people and a few went and signed up , then his site poofed and was gone.

I just don't want to see a bunch of people get taken again.
 
I'll make a post in a little about why that happened. Long story short, MMOBugs and GoDaddy screwed me over. MMOBugs lost me a lot of customers over BS that wasn't even true and I had called the bank and gotten a new credit card (which made my other one not work) so GoDaddy couldn't autocharge it and site got shut down. I tried, but they couldn't get me a backup of anything, even just an SQL backup would have been enough but they gave me nothing. I will give free subscriptions to those that I remember, but I can't remember ALL of my customers and I can't just believe everyone that tells me they were a customer. Obviously some people are going to claim they were a customer when they weren't.
 
well, just incase you dont remember me ! i helped you in qeynos with a plugin that you spammed me with exp msgs LOL dunno if you remember but i think your still on my friends list on AIM as well

I'm not trying to point the finger elsewhere, but I really did get screwed over. I provided faster support than any other site, first compile up of any site, best cheats of any site, everything recoded, I could go on forever. MMOBugs spammed hate about me, I believe the reason is simply because I stole business from them but I can never be sure. I don't want to point the finger at anyone but the fact of the matter is that I worked extremely hard on my website and MMOBugs DID ruin my reputation and GoDaddy DID NOT have a backup for me to use to restore my website once it was closed down because I had it on auto renew to my credit card but it changed.

lol it's no problem I'll make your plugin right now will edit this post with the source code and JMO can add it to compile if he wishes, please send him a PM asking to add to source code when I add the source code.

well i don't know exactly what happened between you and mmobugs, i have read the post you made about them in the bad smell thread and i had also kept up on your old site quite a bit. with that said i have to say i've seen you bad mouth them more than them you. Anyway i don't really think this is good for anyone bringing up old crap.


Well lets hope your new site doesn't have so many problems and leave people hanging high and dry.

Sorry I sort of misunderstood what you meant in your first post, I thought you meant that you want a plugin that wouldn't let you spend AA's at all while plugin was activated to prevent you from spending banked AA's on stuff you don't want by mistake. Check out MQ2AASpend like I said, you can set it up to buy whatever AA's you want and it will auto buy the AA's for you when you get enough AA's banked. I can make this plugin for you but can you at least TRY "MQ2AASpend" before I spend time on it? I can make a plugin to prevent you from spending any AA's though right now (hopefully this holds you off now)...

Rich (BB code): 
#include "../MQ2Plugin.h"

//AA Packet fixed for NA packet sending function
typedef struct _PKTAASpend {
        WORD PacketHolder;
	DWORD FunctionM; 
	DWORD Index;
	CHAR unknown0x008[0x8];
} SpendPkt, *pSpendPkt;

PLUGIN_API BOOL OnSendPacket(DWORD Type, DWORD Packet, DWORD Size)
{
	if (Type == 0x50D0)
	{
		SpendPkt *pSpendPkt = (SpendPkt*)Packet;
		if (pSpendPkt->FunctionM == 3) 
                     {
                          WriteChatf("Blocking spending AA's");
                          return false;
                     }
            return true;
	}
	return(true);
}

Just wrote that plugin in this post, sorry if it's not formatted right. But anyway, this will block all AA's from being spent while the plugin is activated. This is a temporary fix, but like I said try out MQ2AASpend and if you still absolutely need me too then I will make the plugin you want for you.

PS: Like I said try MQ2AASpend to do what you want first, I know it's not exactly what you want but it should work to your needs. If not I'll make this plugin and post source for you.
 
Does the tribute manager plugin still work, or does it need updated? I've seen both reported here, and I'm curious.

Unless somebody else did it, it needs to be updated. Last time I fixed it I had a drive failure, lost the updated source, and let it slide because I found the Mass Enchant Silver tribute exploit soon after.

I'll see what I can do on it tonight after the wife and I get back from having some Thai food.
 
Not too sound rude (but it does anyway) have you tried the "Search" button?
 
I don't know if this should go here, but mq2melee doesn't pick up daggerlunge, which is the new backstab disc for rogues.
 
I personally would love to see plugin versions of afcleric or automac. Or even afnuke.

I know you can just use a merc, but sometimes mercs get expensive (especially when you fall asleep at the keyboard...)

I also have a request but It's almost personal...so not mass usefullness! I would like a plugin version of this macro I scripted myself! It's horribly useless as far as game play but it still gives me great joy. The macro script I made simply takes advantage of the age old illusion bug. If you are a robe wearer and you put on a "chain look" for example, cast a non humanoid illusion, re-equip robe and click off illusion, you are wearing the robe stat wise, but your look is still of chain.

I actually do this while running for the plate look on my caster using the efreeti armor from plane of sky (or you can use the efreeti armor drops from tbs) ...it's so much fun I constantly think the word "SUPERMAAAAN" while my caster is breaking out into the plate look.

The reason I would like a plugin version is cause as a plugin, it wouldn't stop the current macro I'm running that I always forget to restart on that window...

Right now I use an eqbcs work around to start the macro again from the puller screen but if I could avoid having to do that in the first place by having a plugin version, I would love it!

MMOBugs does this. When they first popped up they used about 4 plugins I coded and when I complained about it they banned me and deleted all of my posts.

*scampers off into the distance*
 
I'd like to see a melee based assist macro that works with Merc tanks. For instance, I have a rogue with an Ogre tank Merc. I use RH.mac (Rogue Helper) and it won't assist off the Merc tank; even when I edit RH.mac to use my Merc tank as the main assist (/mainassist=xxxxxx). Do macros not work with NPCs for assist type functions? I also have a bard that I leave twisting songs who has a cleric Merc. Basically, I want to put these 4 in a group and park them somewhere, leash them and set the Merc tank on agressive. That way if any of the toons gets hit, the Merc tank will engage and the bard and rogue will assist the Merc tank from a /stick 10 behind kinda thing (MQ2Moveutils). Thoughts?

Thanks for this macro. I will give it a try. That doesn't answer the question though of whether assisting Mercs is allowed. Not sure if anyone else has run into this. Anyway, thanks again :)
