Lua - Skills2 (1 Viewer) 0.4.3

[WiseTrapper]

Thanks for reporting. Even that if you are doing something wrong I could code it better with some controls.
I will look straight into it

Update
So by looking at it I think
Attachment 37786: is due to you not having a target
Attachment 37787: Spells not defined in your config file, typo etc.

I will add some controls to it.

Pardon my noobishness - i don't know how to get an export of the errors....

Creating ini file....

...ata\Local\VeryVanilla\MacroQuest\Release\Lua\skills2.Lua:289: attempt to concatenate a nil value
stack traceback:
...ata\Local\VeryVanilla\MacroQuest\Release\Lua\skills2.Lua in function 'Cast Spells'
...ata\Local\VeryVanilla\MacroQuest\Release\Lua\skills2.Lua:396: in main chunk

then it shuts down

As I said, it works fine for every other class I've tried it on and that has been several

 

[Blasty]

I can see that you are not using the latest version of skills2.Lua
Please ensure to update.

 

[Blasty]

I made a new version that fix both issues. Let me know if you wan't to test it before I release it.
I also added the function to "Focus Specialize skill" so you can select a skill to level up first.

 

[Blasty]

Blasty updated Skills2 with a new update entry:

Focus Specialize skill

This update holds a few things

• Implemeted Focus Specialize skill (Will increase this skill before all others - defined in the INI file)
• Shadow Knight bug fix
• Check if the spell are in the spellbook
• Bugfix with distance check
• Added missing target notification

Note that there is a MQ2 bug with skillcap for specialized skills.

And thanks for all the feedback!

Hi. Was using this with a paladin. It doesn't seem to be destroying Summoned: Hammer of Wrath. Filled up inventory and then bugged out.

Well Blasty I tried out your Spells2.Lua and heres what I have found....

1. Overview is okay but you could go into a little more detail about how it works.

2. Their is no information on its use... Dose it work on all classes? Do you have to set up the spells first in the spell gems if you are trying to raise up your spell skills.

3. Above you mentioned and INI, where is it located and does this create the ini or do you have to create one for it to use?

4. Where do you put the Spells2.Lua file? Do you have to create a folder for it?

5. Does this work in the Lua Task Manager to control start and stop of the Lua file?

I am not saying that this is bad. I ran into the same thing as nubcake and started looking for answers.... I am sure that this is good but when you can't get it running then its kind of a let down.

The Questions you ask here are exactly what I'm looking for. Where can I find these answers? I'd like to try Skills2 but have never tried to use a Lua script before. Where do I put the scripts once I've downloaded it. I put it in the Lua folder but when I type /lua run skills2 I get the message that it can't find Skills2 in the filesystem. What do I do to make it work?
Thank you for asking these important basic questions. Is there a resource here for beginners that guides us through downloading, installing and running luas?

 

[Lara]

I'm sorry @Zebadiah I feel this feedback you give is more to show you how the basic wortk with MQNext and Lua.
I fully agree that a Lua script should be very easy to use and I really like all feedback I get. I strive to implement as much as I can.

Anyway if you need help in understanding skills2 feel free to PM me on Discord and I'll gladly help you.

your best bet for keeping all the "extra" things that are on Redguides, but not part of the very vanilla compile, is to "watch" the first page on a resource's page.. so on the overview section of this resource, there is the watch button on right side.. select that.. then once you refresh your Redguides launcher, the resource will show up in the list .. so under luas, skills2 will show up, and you just let it install it for you

Easier than you trying to figure where to put stuff.. in some cases, there are some files in the root Lua, then some additional files in subfolders.. so if you miss one, or wrong folder, it wont work.. this method eliminates all that..

Hope that helps?

Thank you so much! That worked perfectly. Is there a resource file or instruction manual that I can access to learn things like this? There is so much that I don't know I don't know! Where can I go to learn other things like this that have been staring me in the face and I never knew it.
I'm very grateful.

 

[Vedaire]

hey blasty I added in Intimidation for myself just figured I'd letcha know it was missing
not entirely sure of all the npcs it works on but I know blacksmith Gerta in PoK and the GH training dummies for sure

 

[Blasty]

Ahh good point. I will add it on the next update.

 

[mhwicks]

Is there a GUI for this Lua? I tried to stop the Lua with the command /stops and all it does is say "Stopping after this round..." stays like that for ever.

Super great Lua thanks

 

[Blasty]

There is no GUI. Can you take a screenshot of you MQ window when you think it fails?

 

[mhwicks]

I tried to run it again and then it said the white words.

Sorry for the late response. What you are doing is stopping the rutine and not skills2.Lua
So if you did a /SS then it will finish the loop and you can select something else like /SDA etc.

 

[mhwicks]

Thanks for getting back to me. I will try it next time I run it.

 

[morfilicious]

I had a couple of issues trying to get this to work for me, mostly sorted out when I worked out that the skills2.ini file that's created is put in the mq2/config folder, not the Lua folder with the skills2.Lua! I would love if this were in the instructions somewhere!
The second issue I had is that it doesn't seem to allow for a set of primary and secondary specializations for each class. I'd love to see it with something like

[Enchanter] Abjuration=Minor Shielding Alteration=Strengthen Conjuration=Mesmerize Divination=True North Evocation=Chaotic Feedback PrimarySpecialization=Alteration SecondarySpecialization=Conjuration

This way you could use it for multiple classes at the same time, and have a sensible set of defaults - maybe even with selection boxes in the Lua script window. It would iterate through PrimarySpecialization first, then SecondarySpecialization, then the remaining skills, (possibly with a check on character level and class first to see if it was relevant yet)

Some further information on 2022 changes to specializations is at https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/specialization-guide-strat-2022.82181/

A reasonably sensible default would be
Cleric: Alt/Abj
Druid: Alt/Conj
Enchanter: Alt/Conj
Magician: Conj/Evoc
Necro: Alt/Conj
Shaman: Alt/Conj
Wizard: Evoc/Abj
with a note on these defaults in the description, and a pointer to where/how to change them, and a note that there's a quest in Temple of Solusek Ro to change specializations if you get it wrong or change your mind.

 

[morfilicious]

I've had a go at implementing the primary/secondary specialisation, and here's what I've come up with. I'm not sure how foolproof it is, but it worked on the limited testing I was able to do.

I've left in all my debug comments (which I used print() for, not debug() )

I have a bunch of level 40 clerics. I started using this to cap their skills. My evocation on one of the clerics, was the skill that got the higher specialization cap of 205, instead of 50. However, the evocation cap of 205 was reached, while the specialization was just 198. So, the Lua stopped practicing evocation. I am guessing that building specialization is not a priority of this Lua, and it is just a happy side benefit. I propose, as a possible future upgrade of this Lua, to also pay attention to building specializations.

I used the safefall for my monk. Had to download a mesh for POK, for it to work. Once I got it working, it worked fine, but I can't help but wonder if the perfectness of the turns would not be obvious, to other people, that a macro was in effect. As a human, I couldn't make the preciseness of those turns to save my life. Maybe find a new location, in an area that few people visit anymore? I mean, it takes place right by the little bank, where hundreds of people hang out. Someone has got to notice.

I would hope that anyone that uses MQ have their Mesh in place.
POK has been static for a ton of years

Not sure if you would bother changing the begging location--- Butcherblock Mountains "Agent of Change" at the docks gives a skill up every 5 begs. Would be much faster than Freeport.
