Made to assist in the twisting of bard songs. It takes care of missed notes and other simple issues, and can also utilize items in a twist.

Commands

/sing <#>
pause twisting and sing only the specified gem number. Alias for /twist hold 

/stoptwist
Stops twisting, but does not clear queue. Can start again with /twist start. Alias for /twist stop. 

/twist [<gem>]... [option] [setting]
Controls the songs and spells you cast in a repeatable queue

Settings

[MQ2Twist] 
;Delay: time between twists (in 10ths of a second), adjust for your system/connection. Minimum 30 (standard gem refresh).
Delay=33 
;Adjust: Number of ticks before recasting during a long song (a long song is greater than 3 ticks in length). e.g. If a song lasts 10 ticks, adjust=1 will recast at the 8 tick mark, rather than 9 as normal.
Adjust=1
;Quiet: song listing and start/stop messages for one-shot twists 
Quiet=0
;Recast: spells with a recast, additional delay.
Recast=0
;Fife of Battle (just an example)
[Click_21]
;Casting Time, -1 to use the normal song delay 
CastTime=30
;How often to recast, 0 to twist normally. 
ReCastTime=0
;Name of item
Name=Fife of Battle
;Slot name
Slot=neck
;girdle of living thorns (current belt will be swapped out)
[Click_22]
CastTime=0
ReCastTime=11600
Name=Girdle of Living Thorns
Slot=waist
;nature's melody
[Click_23]
CastTime=-1
ReCastTime=135
Name=DISABLED
Slot=mainhand
;Shadowsong cloak
[Click_24]
CastTime=30
ReCastTime=350
Name=Shadowsong Cloak
Slot=DISABLED

Click_## currently goes from Click_21 to Click_40.

A note on items: If both a Name and Slot are defined for an item, the plugin will attempt to swap the item into that slot using the /exchange command. After casting, it will replace the original item. If only one is specified but not the other, "/itemnotify Slot rightmouseup" is used to perform item clicks.

Examples

Sing gem 1 forever
/twist 1
Twist gems 1,2, and 3 forever
/twist 1 2 3
Twist gems 1,2,3, and clicky 23, forever
/twist 1 2 3 23
Sing gem 4 forever, until another singing-related /twist command is given
/twist hold 4
Same as above
/sing 4
Set Click_26 to CastTime=32, ReCastTime=120, Name="Cassindra's Chorus of Clarity", Slot=AA ; and save to INI
/twist set 26 32 120 "Cassindra's Chorus of Clarity" AA
