Plugin - MQ2DanNet (3 Viewers)

[airboss]

Man I'm glad I found this. I think the issue for me was I had installed a VPN and it mucked around with the Network interfaces causing it to use different ones.
Change it over as noted to the loopback and worked a treat in solving the follow/mimic/come to me issue I was having.

Does Dannet require EQBC server running to use? Tried without and get a message to run /bccmd connect. This doens't work being on VPN (Yes, I have local traffic enabled).

Tried unload/reload mq2dannet plugin. Issue still persists.

eqbc and dannet are totally separate. if something is saying to use bccmd connect, then it isn't dannet.

/dgae /cwtna pause off

this is what is giving me that message. Is it CWTN Plugins that require EQBC?

The cwtn aliases already include the broadcast part in them, you don't need to /dgae /cwtna.
I'm not sure if it changed at some point when the plugins started creating the aliases for you (iirc they do that now?), but when you created the aliases manually you could choose to create them with either eqbc or dannet.

/cwtna pause off - That is all you need to type. Now you need to check your aliases to see if /cwtna is set to use eqbcs or dannet. If it is using eqbcs I recommend changing it to dannet.

Oh, I may have some underlying issues then. I've been an EQBC user for years. With latest ban waves, trying to see if I can transition entirely off EQBC over to Dannet. As you can see, I'm having some difficulties.

Look at Sic's Hotkey Thread

Please see >>> Getting Started with CWTN plugins! (Movement, UI Window, Clickies, Pulling, ETC) Check Here First! <<<

you can the hotkeys, they're defaulted for dannet, but you can change them to eqbc if you really wanted to

Lol, I'm trying to do the opposite and get off of EQBCS

 

[fleqfan]

Look at your macroquest.ini file in the config subfolder where the Alias section is and then at Sic's hotkey thread and change them all from EQBCS commands to Dannet commands.

/cwtn=/dgge /docommand /$\{Me.Class.ShortName}
/cwtna=/dgga /docommand /$\{Me.Class.ShortName}
/cwtnr=/dgre /docommand /$\{Me.Class.ShortName}
/cwtnra=/dgra /docommand /$\{Me.Class.ShortName}
/cwtnz=/dgze /docommand /$\{Me.Class.ShortName}
/cwtnza=/dgza /docommand /$\{Me.Class.ShortName}

The link has the eqbc version as well as the dannet ones. the dannet version is the default - so change it to whatever you want it to. or delete them and we'll create the dannet version

Attempting to create a button so that I can send an assist command to all melee and tanks in the zone. From my understanding 'melee' and 'tank' are addressable groups in dannet, but the below command is not working.

/dgze melee /assist TOON
/timed 5
/dgze tank /assist TOON

/dgze tank /assist TOON

you don't want to use the "z" you want to

/dgex melee /assist toon
/dgex tank /assist toon

the chart shows dgex and dgae for groups

Not sure where to post such a question. Ive noticed that the plugins work with a VPN but macro commands do not. In most cases Ill just play with the VPN disabled. I was curious if the VPN allows (in my case Proton VPN) port forwarding is that something that can be used so macros will work?
I have very limited experience with networks and I am entirely ignorant of how the system works within EQ. My question was entirely curious and did not know where to find the answer.

what plugin(s) - you didn't say, nor post in a discussion thread specific to a plugin

what are you asking about?

if you have "allow local traffic" on your vpn, using a plugin like dannet can function, yes (broadly, some vpns might not)

 

[Dwenivere]

I am using CWTN plugins.
As an update to this thread. It seems that port forwarding must work as on my desktop the commands work but not on my laptop. Odd.
I am referring to commands like 'mimic me'

"mimic me" is part of mq2groupinfo --- but it uses mq2dannet to communicate, which is what i assumed you were asking about. I'm going to merge this into the mq2dannet thread.

but check out the "faq" tab of mq2dannet and that should help you out

So.. is there a way to make DanNet drop logged out clients from the All group? I put together a small Lua to form a group based on what DanNet peers are listed. The first time, it works fine, sends an invite to everyone who is not the inviter, and then AutoAccept does its thing. If I log that group out, and log in my alt group, it's still trying to invite the original group, as those names are still in the All group in /dnet info.
