Utility EQEmu - turboLoot macro 2.1

Download
Changelog:
Configurable lootDistance will allow you to set the distance a corpse can be when the macro is run.
Separate announceLore lets you set a different method to announce if an item should be looted but is skipped due to already having one.
Fixed macro not announcing it's Done Looting if it finds a corpse but is further than the configured lootDistance
Macro will now check items that meet the MinLootValue criteria but are LORE to determine if you already have one before attempting to loot.

Instructions:
If this is your first time using turboLoot, simply download the macro and add it to your MQ2 > Macros folder. On first run, the INI file will be created in your Macros folder with examples and documentation to help get you started.

If you're updating, replace the turboLoot.mac with this updated one and add the following into the [Settings] section of your turboLoot.ini:
[Settings]
lootDistance=100
announceLore=gsay

    • Looted items
    • Skipped items
  • Debug messages available for troubleshooting.

Instructions
  • Place the macro in your MQ2 Macros folder.
  • On first run, it should create a turboLoot.ini in your Macros folder and provide feedback in your MQ window.
  • The ini will have some examples and documentation to help get you started.

Common issues and fixes
Problem

It's trying to loot an item but keeps failing.
Fix
Chances are it's a no drop item and you have no drop confirmation set in your EQ Options window. In-game, go to Options > General tab > No Drop Item > set to 'Never'.

Problem
It's missing items
Fix
First and foremost, are you sure? Try unhiding corpses and see if the item(s) are still on the corpse. The macro often loots items faster than the gui can update.
Do you have followme, stick, anchoron or something similar set? It's probably being pulled away from the corpse before it can attempt to loot anything.

Problem
How can I set the macro to always run?
Fix
You can't. I've always intended for it to be a macro you trigger on your own.
