Check the instructions tab for mq2dannet

You probably need to adjust interface device, allow local traffic on VPN, or maybe even allow mq in your windows settings

Looks like this is on the right track. I followed the instructions and noticed that my PC interfaces were connected to 0 Ethernet connection while the Laptop was connected to 0Local Area Connection
I did /dnet interface "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1" then unloaded and loaded the plug ins back. But same problem PC doesn't talk to lap top.
Now I do notice a small difference between the numbers following the 1 [Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1] which is on my PC it is xxx.x.x.x long dash xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where on lap top it is same numbers but two short dashes instead of a long dash.

you don't want loopback device - you want both on the ethernet connection.

My laptop isn't connected to the ethernet unfortunetly. It never has been. I'm not sure what caused this issue. For the time being I'm trying to keep the groups seperate so it wont be an issue. But would like to get this resolved. I'm not sure the next step.

You want them both on whatever local area connection they are both on. Be that via WiFi or Ethernet, or can and string

Eureka! can and string fixed it!
I set them back to Ethernet for PC and Wi-Fi for laptop, my printer wasn't printing from my laptop and it hit me that I had a router issue the other day that my satellite router to the main router shut off. So I changed the lap top to closer satellite that ran off a different wifi then the main one that the Ethernet was plugged into. I changed that Wifi back on my lap top to the main house one and problem solved!
Thanks for guidance.
 
This is a new functionality suggestion.

I sometimes run guys solo, sometimes grouped, and sometimes in a raid. There are certain UI buttons that I create that want to communicate with the group or the raid (whatever I happen to be in at the time). For example I have an "All Stein" to tell everyone to use their Drunkard's Stein.

I end up making hotbuttons like this:
/if (${Raid.Members}>0) /dgra /useitem Drunkard's Stein
/if (${Raid.Members}==0 && ${Me.Grouped}) /dgga /useitem Drunkard's Stein
/if (${Raid.Members}==0 && !${Me.Grouped}) /useitem Drunkard's Stein

My proposal is to add a new pair of DanNet commands that do this fiddly work for you. I would call them /dgxa and /dgxe. DanNet can translate this /dgx* into the corresponding /dgr* or /dgg* command if you're in a raid or group (respectively), and just execute the command locally if playing solo (or send the message there via /dex ${Me.Name} if that is easier). Note that /dgxe would be a "No Op" in the case of solo play, and that is fine.

So now my button above could instead look like:
/dgxa /useitem Drunkard's Stein

it is a good habit to use quotation marks when you're doing a multi-worded useitem, because it is only reading your first word otherwise, and if it finds another match before it finds what you want it it, it will try and use that.

/useitem "drunkard's Stein"

can also use mq2relocate and just /relocate pok
 
Hi everyone :) Coming back after a couple month break and wanted to know if dannet has been updated to work with wine/crossover yet? if not I'll keep using EQBC, but I know that more stuff works with dannet than eqbc, so would love to be able to start using it
 
Thanks @Sic for those suggestions. I will implement those into my repertoire, however, my example (above) was *just* an example. I have similar buttons to tell my group (or raid) to stop being invisible, stop levitating, sit down, etc, etc.

Does nobody else see the upside of my suggestion? If not then I must be doing something wrong.

i wasn't trying to answer your question, i was trying to help you with the "guts"

I personally would use a little Lua script or i think LEM can create binds as well.

you could make a dumb hotkey utilizing ${If but seems silly

why not just use /dgae?

I see. So you're saying that maybe I create a dannet-group based on the name of the group/raid leader. Then when I setup my group/raid, I use a /dgra or /dgga to tell those folks to join my dannet-group and I communicate that way? This sounds like a pretty solid idea.

I suppose that alternately I could just register my own /dgxa and /dgxe commands that do what I want. Is there a way for such a command to have access to the complete (noparsed) argument string, so that I can just echo it through to the correct command, as a true pass-through? Or I suppose I could just prefix the parsed string with a "/noparse" in order to prevent the double parsing. I'll probably poke around investigating this option.
 
Dannet seems to be working just fine... or at least it was until I tried something different.
I have several accounts...
I am playing one set of toons on one PC and a second set of toons on a different PC (both on the same local network).
When I issue RGstart on either PC it starts running the commands on both PC's, gets confused and crashes.

What I need to know is how to stop dannet from looking across the local network and stay focused on the pc it is running on.
Thanks

change your interface device to loopback device

check in the instructions tab
 
ok now I did it ..... changed the interface to loopback.
Got everything loaded (I think)
Hit come to me and nothing happens, hit follow, still nothing.
Tried my working invite and auto accept script... it invites all but they wont accept the invite.
So somehow I managed to break it.
I changed the interface by typing

/dnet interface [loopback]

Now nothing works.
I tried changing it back with the command

/dnet interface [Ethernet]

No change, I went from 1 PC controlling 6 toons to 2 pc's and neither one will work now.

I even tried a reinstall of the launcher but that did not fix anything .

I think my best bet is to uninstall red guides and RGMerc, then reinstall fresh, but again I dont see how to do that.

Any ideas?

All of the toons on your singular PC would need to change interface device and then reload dannet
 
all toons on each pc ran the following
/dnet interface [loopback]

I see where the toons are invited to group but they wont join the group. I can manually accept the invite.
but something is very wrong. even after manually accepting invite I use the command
/rgstart

it shows that the command was issued in the MQ window but nothing loads.
Normally I get some text about pausing certain plugins if tit cant find a toon, then a bunch of text about missing spells.

None of this happens so I kknow its not working.

changed all toons back to
/dnet interface [Ethernet}

Still nothing happens.
Is there a way to delete and unstall the entire der guides launcher and RGMercs?
Its the only way I can think of to get back to where I started.

Also tried the reinstall button on the red guides interface.... no joy in mudville.

how would i use dannaet to get my group to activate an AA, for example get everyone in my group to activate their dash aa.

Thank you
Click to expand...
unfortunately each toon is going to have a different AA number, so you'd have to get creative

but you'd you do something like /dgge /alt act # so everyone to use their lesson you'd /dgge /alt act 481

you also use the cwtn plugins so you can just /cwtna dashaa or /cwtna lesson (at least for your cwtn plugin toons)
 
I am sorry for being a PITA, but I am not a programmer, I tried to use cwtna dashaa and I get an error message "That is not a valid command. Please see help." I know I am missing something somewhere but I have no idea what. I did put the "
/dgge /docommand /$\{Me.Class.ShortName}
/dgga /docommand /$\{Me.Class.ShortName}"
commands in my MacroQuest.ini file. What am I missing?

Thank you

cause you need to setup aliases for that. Look up sics hotkey link... I think its on his signature.

I must be an idiot. I have watched the videos 3 or 4 times. I know I need to put code somewhere so that my group leader tells the others in the group to use their dash AA, I do not know where that code goes or exactly what the code is.

There is a ton of information there. Perhaps a direct link to the setup of the alias may help. Please try the below link.

Hey guys, been having a weird problem and hoping someone has some insight. I have looked through the forums and cant seem to find anything related.

Overview
I run macroquest on 2 laptops connected to the same home wifi. I have 3 toons per laptop, for a total of 6 boxes.
Initially when I log in all the boxes, things work fine. Things will continue to work fine with no problems for a random amount of time.
After a certain random period, and always after zoning, dannet stops communicating between the boxes. The only thing that fixes is a reboot on both laptops.

Info
When i run into this problem, /dnet info sometimes shows all 6 toons in group/channel, sometimes only the three toons on the main laptop. It always shows just the 3 toons running on the second laptop.
/dnet interface has both laptops on the same interface connection, WiFi xxxx. This doesnt change when things stop communicating.
Windows firewall has openings for eqgame and macroquest on both laptops.
Both laptops are connected to wifi as private network in windows.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated!
 
Hello,

I just installed everything, setup autologin, got my three toons loaded into Everquest and after following some of the beginner guide videos I tried to use basic commands as the come to me button as well as trying to get one of my other toons to /cast from my group leader. After doing so I see the commands show up in the MQ chat box however none of the commands will work. I am not sure if I am missing something to get my other characters to communicate to my main but if anyone knows of an easy solution for me to try that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ventullor

sounds like you don't have mq2dannet working.

the default for the cometome buttons is mq2dannet

(im going to move this thread to the mq2dannet page, then you should check the instruction tab of dannet)

Sic,

Thank you very much for sending over this info. I checked out what each character had under the /dnet interface command and for some reason it was connecting them all to a VPN server i use for something else. I disconnected from that and reloaded everything and set the /dnet interfaces and everything is working. Thank you so much for the quick response too.
