    Discussion - What is your EQ Kryptonite?

    Dungeons... I hate dungeons. Or any place where you have multiple stories on top of each other, because it makes the map unreadable and considering that I can get lost in my own bathroom, places like Blackburrow or Sol A I avoid like the plague. And still, I often find myself exactly there...

    Question - Plugin vs Lua

    Yeah, Lua is all I use these days. I was just curious :)

    Question - Plugin vs Lua

    So, if I know Lua, dont bother about plugins unless I find an existing one that does what I want. And make a plugin only if I really need it? (or if I am a sucker for punishment and really want to struggle with C++, which I know very little of)

    Question - Plugin vs Lua

    During a previous discussion, someone asked me why I did not use an existing plugin for solving an issue rather than writing the code in Lua myself, upon which I replied that I like to learn and figure out problems myself, and that there are probably plugins that do 95% of the stuff I do in my...

    Plugin - MQ2Nav Release Thread

    When using the distance option, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. /nav target dist=10 places my toon at aprox 10 feet from the target, but sometimes it is way off. I presume this has to do with the mesh. Is that correct?

    Question - Using pet as main tank

    Alrighty thanks a lot. I am not a raider, so that part won't be a problem. I write my own lua scripts for my toons (not because I am in any way better at it than this community, but because it is fun) so I will have to figure out something that works. One thing that I have forgotten to ask about...

    Question - Using pet as main tank

    This is a regular Everquest question and does not involve macroquest as such. I hope this is the right forum for this question. I am used to 2-box a monk and a bard, with a merc tank and merc healer. The monk is the main toon, and sends commands to the bard. The mercs work on their own. I am now...

    Lua - For-loop bug

    For sure. I was just paraphrasing Brainiac. ;)

    Lua - For-loop bug

    Yeah, that workaround was mentioned in the original post. Having the delay "not last" in the inner loop, makes it work as expected, but it is still considered a bug, I think. Anyway, switching place on the print and the delay, makes it behave as you would expect. The issue seems to be fairly...

    Lua - For-loop bug

    Oh, right, sorry about that. Expected is a loop that iterates 1000 times with a quarter-second delay within each iteration, but it only does that until iteration 60:ish, then it zooms past the delay in milliseconds. No errors, no crashes. Just finishes without the delays. Original thread where...

    Lua - For-loop bug

    I found this bug and Coldblooded recommended that I report it so devs can have a look at it. local mq = require('mq') for i = 1, 1000 do print(i) mq.delay(250) end

    Plugin - MQ2Map

    I looked through the settings and I did not seem to find it, but I am asking never the less (perhaps someone has an other solution to my question). Is there any way of getting more than two circles around "myself" on the map? I have castradius and "somethingelse" radius. Then there is campradius...

    Work in Progress Basic Assist Macro (lua) - Big changes

    Alright, this is long overdue. I made a lot of changes to BAM. First and foremost, I split the entire code up into several separate luas that run in parallel rather than in sequence. This means that a delay in the clicky function does not pause the execution of the main script, for example. Or...

    Plugin - MQ2FeedMe

    Oh, this happens ALL the time. That could be the reason. However, it only happened on one of the two toons that were online at the same time in the same place. I will implemenrt a "desreoy ar once" snippert in my luas. Ehrr... it is too early in the morning for thinking... Does anyone have a...

    Plugin - MQ2FeedMe

    Both toons are standing up (in lobby) and have been so for about 48 hours straight,.
