Question - looting trouble - Jan 16th? [solved ?] (2 Viewers)

Hi RedGuides

I just wondered if anyone else has noticed an issue with looting today ( post patch update ) ?

Previously
The toons are logged in, set the roles for who is doing what and assign the master looter.
Fire up the Kissassist and everyone goes about their business.
Mobs die, loot is picked up and attempted to be distributed - the ML taking it themself or pushing it to another in the group.

Today
EQ has patched. VV MQ has updated.
I've made no changes to any config's or who doing what.
Loot was piling up in the advanced loot window and not getting processed.

I tried re-assign the ML around the group, no fix.
Also tried unload and load the mq2autoloot plugin, no fix.



Just wondered if something has changed that I'm not aware of in recent weeks, as my MQ wasn't updated since later December.

If no-one else is having trouble, then it must be something odd ball for me. ( working fine before, not now though, /shrug ).




Regards and Best Wishes

are you using the new eq ui engine?

you shouldn't

you can disable the new ui engine with UseNewUIEngine=0 in your eqclient.ini

i can confirm that setting is in place.
no new UI engine.

having bags and inventory in wrong stacking order really annoyed me so had it turned off a while ago.

But - because you asked i did double check, and the client ini has it as 0.



As say, it was working fine up until server down time for maintenance.
Running today, with no modifications by me it's been troublesome.



Happy to investigate later if it looks like I'm the only one, and it's not something others are experiencing.
But because I have it, thought to mention it so others may be aware if they start having looting problems today.

It's not you, it's me!

aka - I got it working again.



As I'd started from the position, "... it worked before, I've changed nothing, so it must be ... " I came looking to see if others were experiencing trouble too. The assumption being, it must be a change around patch day that's done it.


After the initial positing and the deafening silence of no-one else reporting having trouble it changed the view.

• When I logged in earlier for another session I vendor cleared the ML's bags. They had a 3 spots open, various stacks in mixed progress of a couple items through to full. Looting seemed to resume for a few kills but got hung up again.
• A vendor trash item, was sat waiting to take. I know there was space for it, and the 'loot.ini' has it marked as 'keep'. On screen, the looting tool had a couple of ticks suggesting 'always greed' for it. I cleared the tick. Immediately the loot jumped from the corpse list, to the ML allocated items and then to inventory.

Space, the final frontier.


I know in the past when things have been filling up I've moved the ML role around the group and that didn't resolve things this time. I'm assuming they all had space constraints and partial stacks. I feel such a fool for not thinking of it sooner but the assumption was too easy to follow.


Hopefully this information will help someone in the future if they encounter similar.
