Redguides has been an awesome software, and I was using it consistently before I took a vacation from Everquest.

I just came back this week and I've been running into constant issues. It freezes and locks up consistantly. I struggle to automatically rez a player in my group (on the same PC) and I can NOT invite a player on my PC to a Fellowship unless they are NOT full screen.

I've had to hard reboot my PC several times a night to get to play in the same group over and over again.

This was NEVER a problem 8 months ago...

Welcome back!

Make sure you turned off eq's new ui engine. It has caused all sorts of people all sorts of problems.

`UseNewUIEngine=0` in your eq client.ini

Eq has been doing a bunch of dumb stuff

There's been heaps of performance issues since did the DX11 transition. I've been having loading hangs, crashes, disconnects, CPU stuttering with lots of clients loaded, it's just gotten real bad overall. I don't have a 13/14th gen intel processor or use the new UI engine checked and a lot of guildies and other friends are experiencing issues as well. Hopefully they can figure some of it out soon, but I highly doubt it considering how badly spaghetti coded this game is after 20 years, multiple acquisitions, and probably a dozen diff dev teams.

I appreciate the feed back.. I'll try to get into it this weekend.. just trying to 'have fun' tonight for now! <3

The problems all appear to be connected to full screen mode... if I'm not in full screen it doesn't appear to have the issues. IDK if it's an 'eq' problem or a 'redguides' problem.. but there it is. FYI, I LOVE the new UI for the Redguides windows lower right hand guide and such.. love what you're doing!!!

Just to follow up, I've been playing in windowed mode all night tonight, and haven't had any problems. Again, I couldn't say if it was an EQ issue or RG issue, but it's working tonight. Someone decided to go back and make RG prettier.. I appreciate that. I'm loving the UI tweaks, it is appreciated. 1 of the Windowed mode problems was I couldn't tab to rez or tab to join a fellowship. if that window was up on the screen and I tabbed into it, that box would disappear. /shrug

Probably a subject for a different thread.. but I've run into this multiple times tonight. My Tank just stops fighting some times and sits down (presumably) to meditate. I use ASWD to move the tank to try to fight, but it has no intention to fight, it wants to just meditate. I use /end /nav stop /affolow off and everything, but it continues to not respond to my request to keep fighting. AWSD will make it move, but it will want to sit down immediately.

well, you'll want to determine what is causing it to do that (are you running any automation) and then resolve that via commands/adjustment/ unloading

/end ends a macro that is running - so not kissassist/muleassist
/nav stop / /afollow off - these stop movement - not meditation and sitting down

you don't appear to be using cwtn plugins

are you using afnuke?

are you using rgmercs Lua?

are you using xgen?

What are the commands to just STOP anything RG related?
while I trying to figure out what was 'attacking' I suddenly found myself unable to stop 'defending'.

Like, primarily I've gotten pretty good at 6 boxing, so struggling to figure out how to deal with 1 box at a time is strange to me.. Iike.. I thought I kinda had this figured out...

/unload unloads MQ as a whole. but you really would need to determine what is doing "stuff"

/plugin mq2melee unload
/plugin afnuke unload

try those and see if things stop doing what you're describing

It just happened again. Main tank (SK) just keeps sitting down. TPW, I couldn't keep him standing up and fighting.. he sat down faster than I could keep him standing up.

I am using AFKNuke... I'll have to check the settings.

One thing, it is saying it can't open 'kissassist.mac' but I am able to open it in notepad and it doesn't look corrupt.

It says it can't open 'kissassist.mac' I renamed the file and reinstalled. It created a new Kissassist.mac, but it still says the same thing?

DoCommand - Couldn't Parse /melee Range=0
DoCommand - Couldn't Parse /melee Melee=1

OK, so /unload fixes the issue mid fight... I'll try to trouble shoot deeper.. but at least I don't wipe my whole party every time now.

it really doesn't like this file? This is Win11 Home, no security or anything.. I renamed the file and reinstalled RGs.. it still says this same thing.

I was using the suggestions, and I appreciated yours... I did /unload and it fixed it... then I tried mq2melee and that didn't work, but "/plugin afnuke unload" did.

But how is that 'sorted?' Why does it happen? How can I determine why it does?

Well.

Like I said /unload unloads mq entirely, which isn't what you want, but did answer the question you asked.

If you don't want mq2afnuke to do stuff you'd either want to unload the plugin or turn it off.

The /melee stuff is related to the mq2melee plugin. Both of those plugins don't report that they are the utilities that are performing those duties, but can commonly cause some "something is doing stuff but I don't know what".

You should look at and familiarize yourself with resources you want to use. It takes time but it will help eliminate the confusion

"You should look at and familiarize yourself with resources you want to use. It takes time but it will help eliminate the confusion" - I get that.. I really do, I'm much more of an expert in this than I had ever planned.. and that's like.. 8% expert.

You people who respond are awesome, and I don't want to sound disrespectful.. I appreciate you taking the time to read these requests and help. What I'm saying is at this point it 'feels like' I've narrowed it down to AFNuke, but why would it do what it is doing? (Also, since I've been gone, AFNuke changed it's interface.. possibly related? ) I want AFNuke to do 'the stuff it does'.. but not THIS THING where it offers me up to the enemy on my knees. lol. But I am going to look more into AFNuke.. see if there is something there.

I appreciate you. I do.

Generally speaking, KissAssist and its fork Muleassist handle most, if not all of the functionality that plugins like mq2melee and mq2afknuke were used for in the past. The issue with afnuke is likely that it is issuing some command that Kissassist now handles differently than it did before, and so you get a unable to parse /docommand - whatever the plugin is sending is no longer valid. Digging into Kissassist might allow you to do everything you were using AFNuke for, without having AFNuke running.
