Hello all. I learned something new from a buddy of mine. So I can go into a zone, then click "find" and the "control" left click on the next zone I want to go to and my guy will automatically go there. Awesomeness! It's been working but twice in the past 2 days, even after I updated the mesh, my guy would be running and gets stuck in a tree or a wall. I can't get him to stop running. I can't sit and camp, I can't cast a port, I have to control alt delete and close everquest that way.

Please tell me there is an easier way to get my guy to stop meshing (running)?

Thank you.

mq2nav is the part that does the running (easyfind does the traveling to things in the find window using mq2nav)

you can /nav ui and then set your break behavior to stop

/nav ui -> settings tab -> break behavior

edit (thx brain): also in /mqsettings -> plugins -> nav -> break behavior


and then you can just touch your keyboard, move yourself, and then use easyfind to re-run to where you want to do

In MQ2Nav Tools under the Settings tab there is an option to "Attempt to get unstuck".

I'm wondering if there is an MQ2Nav.INI file option to set that option True on a permanent basis?

I did some searching but couldn't find the answer to my question. And the option really seems to help my puller when I remember to toggle it. :))

I have the same question. Is there a way to make this setting persist?

So when I use control F for navigation and control left click the zone I want to go to and if there is water on the way my toon nose dives into the water and swims to the bottom almost all the time.

Is there a way to stop this and yes I have Levitate on and still does it.

zoom out works?

I opened the DLL file in a text editor and searched for "unstuck" and found the raw text AttemptUnstuck.

This appears to work in the ..\config\MQ2Nav.ini file...

INI: 
[Settings]
AttemptUnstuck=1
Click to expand...
opening up a dll in a text editor doesn't seem like a great way to search for ini settings for a plugin..
don't see the possible ini settings documented anywhere but https://github.com/brainiac/MQ2Nav/...1cffb68a7975b1c/plugin/PluginSettings.cpp#L75 shows what all is there
 
Hey guys! What am I doing wrong? Using /travelto to places that are accessible via the guild hall portal system doesn't use them. For example, /travelto maidentwo doesn't actually take me to my guild hall and use a crystal?
 
Sic said:
mq2portalsetter uses the guild porta
guildclicky will use your "guild clicky" items for travel
Click to expand...

Understood. But I guess my question is, how do I get /travelto to go to the guildhall portal guy in the first place? It doesn't even register as an option. /travelto maidentwo just says no path is available, instead of running to guildhall, talking to the portal guy, and going through the mq2portalsetter process to take me to ME2?
 
hi all, i downloaded the meshes and put them in my "release\mq2nav" folder, but when i run mq2nav in game it saying "no nav mesh available for ... any ideas what i can try? i've already restarted computer, restarted mq2 and restarted /plugin mq2nav unload/reload
 
When I run meshgenerator.exe, the window is bigger than the screen. My screen is 1920x1080 but the mesh window is so large I don't have a title or menu bar. How do I fix this? -- Thanks

Edit - using the windows taskbar to "cascade" my windows got me going, short term, but everytime I close and re-open I have to do this workaround.

So, some weird stuff happening in Paludal because of some shorties hiding behind a rock door. Thinking I was so smart, I used /nav ui to set a waypoint outside of the door so at least I can auto-navigate close. But, the saved waypoint only shows on one box! Even after clicking the 'Save' button, doing /nav save and /nav reload (last one on all clients). I tried broadcasting it through dannet with the client having the waypoint, but the other clients stayed put with a finger up their nose.

What am I missing?

/nav reload reloads the mesh, not any settings. You probably have to reload the plugin
 
So not sure if it’s a setup item on my end or if it’s just not functionality added to M2Nav but when using travelto for doing epics (say Shaman) and heading to great divide it gets frozen in POK at the port stone Because of the pop up for TV/GD. However GD is alway in the same spot. If the nav knows end zone, any way to get it to click the box similar to /yes?

That is an mq2easyfind question
 
Hi, wondering from reading these posts if I am missing something in the settings, like mentioned above with mq2easyfind. If I am in PoK and /travelto eastwastestwo, I get pathed PoK -> Everfrost -> North Ro -> East Wastes instead of taking the portstone to ToV or to the guild portal as mentioned in the question above. There is so much good stuff in MQ that sometimes I do not even know to look or ask for something. Thanks.

You are asking an easy find question in the mq2nav thread.

Should post it there.

But to answer your question easy find does not use the guild portal merchant. There is portal setter. You might be able to modify your easy find to use portal setter if you want it to it would be a little bit of work but it might be possible.

-my PC is up to date, no virus issues.
-not playing EMU this is live EQ

If i delete MQ2nav.dll the crashes stop and I can play EQ and use Kissassist on a limited basis. Obviously id love to be able to not have this problem which is why im posting here in hopes of some assistance.

Is it possible to give it a flag to go around water if possible?
Click to expand...
Each individual mesh has a weight for different types of areas. One of the default area types is water and giving that a certain weight would allow you to try and navigate around it instead of through it if it makes more sense to do so.

I would recommend editing your own mesh for any areas you want to avoid and just creating a special area type I call mine avoid, and then I give them a very large weight like 999

My hope for the command is to modify the Destination distance in the MQ2Nav Tools under Navigation Options (Defaults). It must be set at each login. Unless I can add a line in the ini like DestinationDistance=10 or something .. /dge /nav DestinationDis 10
Click to expand...
he was trying to tell you that it already exists
All the navigation options in "Defaults" are controlled from the command line. the defaults are just what values are provided when you don't change them.

if you type /nav help it will show you them all

Exactly what I was looking for. /nav help ... /bonk Thank you!
 
Im having some issues with Nav & MoveUtilis.
if i have the mq2nav in my plugin folder it will cause EQ to instantly close the moment it is loaded. Similiar happens with moveutilis soon as i load into game it closes.


Edit This appears to have been fixed in a recent update.

Would someone be able to tell me how to get my Nav settings to save? I have to manually go into the /nav UI window every time I load up and change everything I've had it set to before.

I type /nav save after changing things, but that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks much.
 
In the MQ2Nav video is said there was a link to a list of short names for zones. I have searched for a while and I cannot find it. Does anyone have the link handy please and thank you?
