Rogue Helper v6.0 [Complete Rogue Macro] (Updated: 10-26-04)

Rogue Helper 5.5 posted... here's the latest stuff:

| VERSION 5.5:
|
| This update is a little anticlimactic since it took so long to get out, but really
| enhances RH very little.  
|
|     . The Ninjaloot code has been improved to work on green mobs.  Be careful, as 
|       you'll loot anything anyone kills near you, so it truly behaves like its 
|       namesake!  
|
|     . The circle-strafe delay has been dropped from 3/10ths of a second between strafes
|       down to 2/10ths of a second, making it 50% faster than before, and less jerky.  
|       Mind you, it's not as appealing to watch, but it looks better from outsider's 
|       perspective (tradeoff).  
|
|     . /stickdist <range_to_target> <range_to_tank> command added.  This command accepts
|       (and requires) two numeric parameters.  The first parameter (range_to_target) is 
|       the maximum distance to your target from which you will continue to "stick to it"
|       if autosticking is activated.  The second parameter (range_to_tank) is the max
|       distance from your main assist that you'll wander from in order to continue 
|       sticking, assuming autosticking is activated.  Default range to target is 200.
|       Default range to tank is 100.

I suggest downloading it with the link in the first post of this thread. It's easier than cutting and pasting it from the (3!) separate posts and putting it together.

Man I love your code I just downloaded it today. Only thing i can't get to work is the autostick. When i use it in Earth, the client crashes, it also did it in Seru today. THanks for all your hard work.

Is there anyway to convince you to post it as a zip?
That or I am going to have to uninstall QuickTime which sees .mac as one of its own. I can't find out how to prevent it from doing this, with the exception of removing it.

You have to associate the extension to another program. The best/easiest way to do this is to go into your favorite text editor and setup the association in the program setup.

I use textpad. For that, I did this:
1) Configure > Preferences
2) Under Associated Files, new extension= .mac
3) Description= MQ2 Macro file
4) click Add
5) click Apply

done.

Getting destroyed when i use the Autostick I LD in any zone.

Step by step.

Closeness is on 70.
/mainassist name
/autostick on

Hit assist button which has /assist name then /echo Seeking a Victim ...

Then I turn to the mob and then the screen freezes and client crashes.

Any one have this problem or have the solution. I love this macro i want to get it to work fully.

Thanks for your help

Jay

burdsjm:

Make sure you're using the latest MQ2. A couple of versions ago there was a major problem with the new math parser which would cause all hunter scripts (including RH's stick code) to crash MQ2 and EQ. Download and compile the latest version of MQ2 and you'll be fine.

aChannlenged1:

It's already posted as a zip. In the first post of this thread, there is a hyperlink --> download <-- containing RH in zipped form. Has been for the last three or four releases.

TrippyTom:

Good advice, I did that a long time ago myself :)

Has anyone ever noticed, that this macro has problem with pets sometimes? Hunting in Kod'Taz, rogue will target a mob with a pet or multiple pets and kill fine; but on the pets it refuses to act.

Chanters always blur the pets i see in KT. I do have issues attacking PC pets in the arena though - it turns out attack very frequently. I dont pvp enough to care though.

Haven't noticed anything like that... Can you describe that more so I can try to replicate it?

Thanks.

It will attack them for one round then turn autoattack off. It will continue targetting them, and if you turn attack back on again it will resume attacking for one round or so then turn attack off again.

It only seems to do it with the summoned cow pets in GoD - possibly there is something screwy with their ID and the 'no mob targetted' code is taking effect.

Hrmm, I'll have to keep an eye on that.

FYI, AltAbilityXXXX TLO's are currently broken with the recent release of MQ2... Be mindful that this will affect Nimble Evasion checks in RH, and may cause it to behave strangely. I haven't tested RH since the MQ2 patch yet, but be advised it may be a bit squirrley until the AltAbility struct is fixed up.

Jerle, don't get me wrong here, I love your script it's excellent.

But the strafing looks SO wooden, it's almost an embarresment to watch my rogue with my other character if I'm grouped with other people, that I always end up switching back to the more simpler and less efficient old rogue.mac, but would much prefer to use yours as it does so much more that I want rogue.mac to do, but I'm too lazy to convert :)

Like I said earlier in the thread, if you implement the moveutils plugin into this macro, it becomes amazingly smooth. For autoassist, I just have it /face the mob if it is far out and if the mob comes close, /stick behind. Whenever combat engages, I use /stick instead of /stick behind - this way rh.mac can decide if it should strafe or not. The reason /stick makes it smoother is because it does /face fast every frame, and you end up making a very smooth circle when going to the back of the mob. I'm too lazy to post specifically what I changed mainly because I still have an old version of rh.mac and started editing out features that I don't use... hehe.
