Another newb to add to the fire

Post by judochop » Wed Oct 30, 2002 8:49 am

Heh, I am sad to say that I am a software engineering student and I can not figure this out. I am hoping there is a little thing I am missing. I can not get any of the macros to work in-game.

I downloaded my version from the following link: http://macroquest2.com/IRC-latest.zip
It was the link on the main page that said "Macroquest Fixed"

My macroquest.exe is in C:\MQ-20020905

Here is my eqgame.ini:
[MacroQuest]
MacroQuestVersion=IRC-20021023
ClientName=eqgame
ClientVersion=Fri Oct 25 02:07:xx 2002

Here is my MacroQuest.ini:
[MacroQuest]
MacroPath=.\Macros
LogPath=.\Logs
DebugSpewToFile=0
FilterSkills=1
FilterTarget=1
FilterMoney=1
FilterFood=1
FilterMacro=1

[Filter Names]

[Console Window]
Display=1
PosX=10
PosY=10
Width=500
Height=350

[Aliases]
/gmlist=/who all gm
/mana=/echo Current Mana: $char(mana,cur) -- Max Mana: $char(mana,max)
/sell=/macro sellitem

I added the combine.mac into the \Macros folder and changed the following under Macroquest.ini to the value of 1:
Display, FilterSkills, FilterTarget, FilterMoney, FilterFood, FilterMacro


When I run MacroQuest.exe I get the systray icon. I load up EQ using the old UI in 600X480 and tried in the 1024X768 view. I get no message saying that macroquest has started. I tried testing using the /face command after targeting another player, and I got the face changing feature of EQ. /macro combine, /macro combine.mac, /mana, /spewinfo on, /charinfo (gave me my info), none of those worked.

I believe I have given all the details needed after reading other posts. I have tried for several hours to get this to work, but can not. /sigh. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Someone mentioned a \Release folder in another help post, but there was no \Release folder in the original unzip file structure.

I think the release version now is IRC-20021024, not IRC-20021023. Check your version, and edit that line in your ini file (second line). Not saying that will work for sure, but it might.... :wink:

That didn't do it. What is the IRC referring to? Internet Relay Chat?
Did I use the correct link to download the program?

Forgot to mention that I am running Win XP, and I already installed Perl 5.6.1.

Ok, I am getting a little further. I started EQW this time and saw a pop-up about Incorrect Client Version. I fixed this in my eqgame.ini to the correct value and I can now get to choosing my server, hit enter, then it crashes. I have noticed others posting with the same problem, but find no solution.

Sorry, no further suggestions from me, maybe someone else knows what is happening. Good luck.

There's a more up to date version, IRC-20021024.zip which contains the latest EXE file and just needs the current offsets (which are more than likely going to change in 10 hours time as of this writing, anyway).

In that zip file there's a RELEASE folder which has the latest compiled version, I'm not sure if they like the directory structure of where that file is located mentioned, so I can't say where you need to download it, in case I upset the powers that be.

Thank you for the help. That is what I was missing. I just downloaded the the macroquest zip and the offsets. I didn't know to download that irc file. I believe that the other guy having the same problem as I probably needs to download the irc zip also. It is now working, and I thank you.
