Question - May I have some help with AltAdvance format in character_server_shits.ini (1 Viewer)

[game_sparks]

I have been searching all over for information to get eq2melee to use AltAdvance skills. Here has been my best effort. Any feedback or reference material would be fantastic.


This is from my character_server_shits.ini. Last line in question.

Thank you

Instead of casting, use /alt act ###. You can get the number from the aa page in game. It will say alt activate number xxx.

I think ed is 826 maybe? So /alt act 826
Replace 826 with actual ability numbers.

 

[Warl0ck45]

I am taking it you are having issues with the

; holyshitX=/if (${Target.PctHPs}<22 && ${Target.Fleeing} && ${Me.AltAbilityReady[Encroaching Darkness]} && ${Target.Speed}<50) /casting "Encroaching Darkness" alt

I have not personally used the fleeing tag off hand, or target speed, so no idea on how well it works.

Tired and not recalling basic run speed, but that would only snare a mob who is already moving slower then 50.

Personally, I would have it more like

holyshitX=/if (${Target.PctHPs}<30 && !${Target.Snared.ID} && ${Me.AltAbilityReady[Encroaching Darkness]}) /casting "Encroaching Darkness" alt

the snared check will cover if someone else has already snared it as well as if you have, so you aren't trying to cast snare on it again and again while it is already snared (not that it should happen that often with the long recast)

and the higher HP% would give you time to recast in case of resistance.

.Snared works well with traditional spells, but misses out on the oddly named item triggers on a few things.

- - - Updated - - -

are you really trying to cast every disc you have during each fight? I know I am tired but you seem to have multiple instances of disc lines there... like 3-4 "carapace" which all work off the same timer... with and defy I believe are the same line as well.

Sorry, just a little boggled by the line up there.

 

[game_sparks]

It works, I made it look like this :

holyflag24=1
holyshit24=/if (${Target.PctHPs}<30 && !${Target.Snared.ID} && ${Me.AltAbilityReady[826]}) /alt act "826" alt

Thank you Warl0ck45! and Thank you drcrimzon !!

This is my first time working a mq2melee.ini with shits. I have taken them out thank you for the observation

- - - Updated - - -

So I am under the impression that character_server_shits.ini is only to help build the server_character.ini and I don't need to add the AA information to that file for it to be used ... lol /bonk

I learned so much !

 

[Warl0ck45]

Just to toss this out as you may find it interesting then

holyshit7=/if (${Me.CombatAbilityReady[${Spell[Unholy Guardian Discipline].RankName}]} && ${Target.Named} && ${Me.CurrentEndurance}>5300 && !${Melee.DiscID}) /disc ${Spell[Unholy Guardian Discipline].RankName}
holyshit8=/if (${Me.CombatAbilityReady[${Spell[Doomscale Mantle].RankName}]} && !${Me.CombatAbilityReady[${Spell[Unholy Guardian Discipline].RankName}]} && ${Target.Named} && ${Me.CurrentEndurance}>7700 && !${Melee.DiscID}) /disc ${Spell[Doomscale Mantle].RankName}
holyshit9=/if (${Me.CombatAbilityReady[${Spell[Grelleth's Carapace].RankName}]} && !${Me.CombatAbilityReady[${Spell[Doomscale Mantle].RankName}]} && !${Me.CombatAbilityReady[${Spell[Unholy Guardian Discipline].RankName}]} && ${Target.Named} && ${Me.CurrentEndurance}>2700 && !${Melee.DiscID}) /disc ${Spell[Grelleth's Carapace].RankName}

SK/Pal get roughly 3 damage mitigation disc lines

The first line checks if first damage mitigation disc is ready, the target is named , endurance is over needed level, and there is no current disc running
The second line does everything the first line does, plus makes sure the first disc is unavailable (so you can use them in a set order ever time)
Third line repeats the process.

Unholy Guardian is 36% damage mitigation + lifetaps
Mantle is 35%
Carapace is 20%

Anyways, other folks may have different opinions on it. I do mine this way to insure I get the best protection possible first. There are other things you can do as well, like Third Spire of the Reaver, Shield flash (short but endurance free) Reaver's Bargian (75% damage mitigation for damage over 25k) and of course BP clickies. I am sure other folks can toss in a few more suggestions.

Unless you want your disc's firing on every fight (which will drain your endurance fast. Not to mention, if you need them on every trash fight, you may be a little out of your depth) you may want to look into some additional restriction. The example code there only fires when facing Named.

(${Target.Named} || ${Target.Level}>=(${Me.Level}+2) || ${Me.XTarget}>2) && ${Group.MainTank.ID}==${Me.ID}

My macro has an include file that handles defensive measures. Part of the call line to fire them off looks something like this. If the target is a named...OR the target level is 2+ levels over tank... OR if I have more then 2 mobs on XTarget window... and I am the groups main tank... then it fires off damage mitigation stuff.

Anyways, just tossing out that stuff in case they peak your interest =)

 

[Sum1]

Great post, War... I think I've found the person who's brain I will be picking in the future about getting my holies setup properly

 

[Meistro]

I use those same sets for names too, I also use a couple others with this basic setup:

${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && (${SpawnCount[npc radius 50 zradius 10]}>3 || ${Me.PctHPs}<40)

just to try and keep me safe from those "oops" moments
