You can't just /assist the mob and see if it's targeting you? That's how I check agro in game.

/assist has a delay and it sends a request to the server - doing very fast assist might either not work cuz theres always a small delay (in which you would loose dps too) or sony could maybe recognize you since you assist so often in a short time. Thats what hott is so cool for.. you dont need to change ur target and you can access the info instantly without askin the server explicitly.
I thought about it.. gonna use TargetOfTarget while the ability is available.. on raids or in group even and the old aggro detection mode for when its not available.
might be another version up later - check back

well the new version can take a bit as it looks.. currently trying to convert into a plugin cuz macros cant recognize keypressings or am i wrong with that?
but im a complete c++ newb so this can take a while ...

EDIT: Could anyone who knows a bit about the plugin programming tell me how i use events like in Macros? I found the blech parser thing and AddEvent function but how do i use it... for example if mob enrages or so..
with this it shouldnt be much of a problem to convert..
Already got a few ideas what it could do what a macro cant.
Only thing im missing to start is Event parsing .. ive seen in other plugins there is simply a strstr made to check for text in the incomingchat but I find the Event system much better where you dont have to parse out all data alone. - So if anyone know how to use it please post a quick example or so.

Couple of more areas for improvement:
1. You're putting aliases into macroquest.ini, but you're checking a version number in puppetmaster.ini to tell whether or not that's been done. If macroquest.ini gets replaced, the aliases will not be re-added in since puppetmaster.ini doesn't change. Seems like you should be checking macroquest.ini for existence of aliases rather than anywhere else.
2. If I camp out without ending the macro, I crash to desktop. Not sure why, and other macros don't behave like this (genbot comes to mind). FYI.
