Ok, I deleted all of EQ and MQ2 because something was really bogging/lagging my comp down. Pretty sure it was one or the other. IDK. Anyway, I'm reinstalling everything and there is no spawnmaster.ini file. Do I have to create this? Where is the DL? Is it on the first page of this thread? When I press copy on the master.ini it won't let me paste it to anything. I know I'm fucking this up but I have just about zero skills when it comes to this crap. Sorry in advance of someone getting annoyed at what is most likely an answered question somewhere.

np phil - on the first page is the mq2spawnmaster.ini info

you might need to just create one

it needs to be mq2spawnmaster.ini (and not .ini.txt or .ini.ini) in your release folder and then you can copy/paste the info into the file
 
After some experimentation I figured out the correct ini format. The + needs to be INSIDE the brackets to get the full list in new world zones. We are still not picking up on all names with a # prefix ('#a massive dracoliche' is one example), so there's a clean name call missing somewhere, or clean name isn't returning as expected on some names...

[Dragon Necropolis+]
Spawn0=Vaniki
Spawn1=Zlandicar

[Dragon Necropolis]

Spawn0=a massive dracoliche
...
Spawn13=Seeker Larada

Here is a corrected version of mq2spawnmaster.ini with the CoV names i've found so far that don't show up without the # prefix.

Yeah my Velks was messed up between the old and new version. In the INI file old Velks was listed [Velketor's Labyrinth]+ and new Velk (ToV) was listed [Velketor's Labyrinth]. This was making names from original Velks to be searched for in the ToV zone. I made original velks [Velketor's Labyrinth+] and new (ToV) Velks [Velketor's Labyrinth] and it fixed it. Guessing others in my list are like this as well will fix as I come across them.

I've spent HOURS going line by line, zone by zone, verifying the attached document is correct. So far, I have verified Classic + Kunark+ Gates of Discord. I have a lot of other zones but not verified them.

The problem with old zones and the previous inis posted is zones may now include "The" plus Hunter achievements being added and not updated.

As of this posting, all zone names and spellings are correct for Classic + Kunark + Gates. More expansions to come. They are in order as shown on the achievement window. Each expansion is separated by "[[[[ ---- EXPANSION NAME ---- }]]]"
 
Prior ini deleted in above post.

This ini file here is everything from Classic + Kunark + Velious + Luclin + GoD, verified by traveling to the zone itself and ensuring everything is correct.

More zones next week.

Edit: Removed file on 11/24/2021 due to being outdated.

This is a shit ton of work. Well done sir.
 
This is what I come here for. Other people to do the work I'm too lazy to do. I salute you sir.

One suggestion would be to split the mobs that are only in the revamped versions of the zones so it's easier for editing. Also, you're missing Blackburrow.

But good job regardless. I've often thought that SpawnMaster should categorize mobs similar to the way SEQ does.

So, I saw that some of the zones had the revamp names separated. I thought the zone names themselves were the same so I did get confused there. Fabled were also thrown around weird in the ini everyone has always posted. I tried to keep the fabled and revamp names present when I came across them.

As for blackburrow... I traveled there, I might have not copied it over from the ini used by VV to this file. I'll fix it.
 
Went through all the OOW zones as I didn't see them in the master list. I missed two zones, I believe they are instanced, but after talking to the NPC and going into the instanced zones twice they didn't seem like the right zone so I gave up for a moment.

Any traction on finishing this? If not is there a point you have worked up to that I can contribute and assist? This is a spectacularly useful tool.

OK, ALL DONE!!!

See attached file for every zone... The only problem I have is SpawnMaster telling two zones apart with the same name (example, Cobalt Scar). SpawnMaster uses the long name, not short names, which makes it complicated.

If anyone can help me with this problem, this may be complete!

Enjoy!

At some point that was changed because I have an old file that uses short names. I didn't look to see who changed it or why, but my guess is it was changed due to DZs/instances. However, if you will go through and update the ini for all the short names, I'll change it so it uses short names first and then long names (and still works for DZs).

I don't mind changing to short names if it updates. I was thinking about doing it for Alert Master Lua, but would rather it be used here first

Classic + Kunark+ Velious+Luclin finished.... more tomorrow, getting cross eyed!
Tried an excel script to find/replace based on columns.... messed up too much stuff I'm doing it manually.
 
I've just committed the following changes and done some cleanup on this plugin so the next build for MQNext will have the following changes. This WILL break anything where you've got =# in your ini, so search those before you update (in the inis posted here there weren't that many using it). It adds exact matching capability to match what you would use in other places in MQ (for example: "Spawn1==Specific Name").

- Spawns can now be 1 indexed or 0 indexed (or indexed alphabetically then numerically, the plugin doesn't really care). This makes it compatible with AlertMaster inis so you can switch back and forth if you'd like.
- Global settings will now be used if character specific settings don't exist
- Character names will no longer be automatically added to the ini to facilitate easier ini sharing (though it does still use the same ini for those settings)
- Zone short names can now be used in ini files (and will be checked BEFORE zone long names are checked) -- this should fix issues where zones share the same long name but have different short names and also facilitate compatibility with AlertMaster inis
- Exact matching is now standard MQ style (based on = rather than #)
- Removed case sensitive matching in favor of the standard MQ matching and removed options pertaining to case sensitivity -- use exact match if you want that
- Fixed a bug where spawns would not get removed from the up list when using the delete command to delete a spawn

I'll also renumber so it starts at 1.


Both changes will take time. I've been dealing with a death in the family the last week and a half... have not had time to commit to continuing the updates I was doing... but it is something I will complete for everyone.

Hi all, anyone use this? It seems really amazing to me! I could use some help with the trigger part though. I want it to either /beep or send a tell when a named spawns. My windows flash if they receive a tell, so if I'm reading the web I will know to tab back for a named. But I can't get it to beep or send tells. This is my ini:

[bristle.Mydude]
Enabled=on

[Settings]
OnSpawnCommand="/tell Mywizzy named spawn"
Enabled=on

Spawn1=Fractured Shard

Spawn3=Dread Overseer Akalod

When using mq2 it beeps when ur tank has a named or ur assist pulls a named not sure if that helps or not

you just responded to a post from 3 years ago.

mq2 doesn't inherently/natively beep when your tank is fighting a named either, but some things including different automation (like cwtn plugins with beeponnamed) does.
 
OK, Finally done!!!!

Two files are attached for the two methods.
The long name version has the long name for the zone (South Karana vs southkarana) as well as the numbering starts at "Spawn0="

The short names has the short name for the zone (southkarana) as well as the numbering starting at "Spawn1="


I have spent HOURS on this. Please let me know if there are any mistakes to get them corrected. I do not know the shortnames for the upcoming expansion, and have not verified the short name version to work outside of one zone. Knightly did the updates and I'm not running back throughout the world to test that copy.

EDIT: Removed files from post on 11-24-2021, refer to later posts.

I’ll compare to what I have locally but your last few were pretty amazing and I think the community should be able to help with this as a huge starting point. It’s also awesome that it will work with either spawnmaster or AlertMaster now. Great job!
Click to expand...

I'd love to see it updated as the default! My next project is to set it up as alertmaster, when I get time.
 
Sorry, I meant the new ini I've been working on.. having it replace the ini that comes with the build. So everyone has what I've been working on. After it's been vetted, of course.
 
Ah, gotcha, there’s not an ini in the build. But I can probably add it. I can do something similar to what we do with the MacroQuest ini and only load it if people don’t have one.
