I've not looked into the code at all regarding this, so forgive me if this is a wayward answer.

If they are using sprintf or something to write a string back to EQ then the % will get parsed incorrectly.. You should maybe try using %% ?

if the cause of crashing is because of <character> saved, why not just make a macro to filter it out? Please don't flame me, just a thought =)

Salutations,
filtering out <char> saved. will not fix the problem, since it i still interpretted by EQ and MQ, then is just blocked from being put on the text screen.

isn't the <char> saved message something that can be filtered out server side - or maybe you can put in an "event" for it ?

I'm still having not-so-random crashes when I use $char(mana,pct)

Code: Select all

} else /if "$p2"=="mana" {
     /g Mana is at $char(mana,pct)
}

I took the "%" out and tried the word "percent" and finally I just ended the line after $char(mana,pct). This still causes a crash 95% (or more) of the time.

Question I just thought of. What happens if you have another character targeted when you use this variable? Is this variable implicitly self-only?

Salutations,
the $char() variable is all self only

Alrighty then that shoots that idea down. Any ideas what could be wrong or what I could do to trouble shoot this?

Thanks

Ok, just for kicks I made 1 change to my macro that seems to have fixed my probelm

Code: Select all

} else /if "$p2"=="mana" { 
     /target myself
     /g Mana is at $char(mana,pct)
}

now that I put the "/target myself" in there it doesn't crash. I tried it more than a dozen times at various mana levels and it work 100%. The only time I had it work more than 2 times in a row before was if I was at full mana, and even then it usually failed on the 3rd of 4th try.
