http://macroquest2.com/main.php?p=download

Don't overwrite your old macroquest stuff, put this in a new directory!

Compile the entire solution. Plugins currently loaded by default are:
MQ2Labels (ui labels)
MQ2FPS (fps limiter)
MQ2Map (spawns on the map)
MQ2ItemDisplay (item display mods -- haste, item value, etc)
MQ2ChatWnd (the "chat window")
MQ2EQBugFix (fixes crash on camping related to Journal window)

To load or unload plugins while playing, use the /plugin command.
/plugin list
/plugin <name>
/plugin <name> unload

If you don't want to use the chat window plugin, you can use the default chat plugin (or both).
/plugin mq2chat
loads the default chat plugin
then you can
/plugin mq2chatwnd unload
and you're good to go.

Everything that works in normal macroquest should work in MQ2. The MQ2Telnet plugin is completed and ready for you to load (settings have changed, open MQ2Telnet.ini) -- it is not loaded by default. NOTE: MQ2Telnet is rewritten and working.

Also, if you want the "/" command to do MacroQuest /who (it is EQ /who by default), try /alias / /who. I left it default to EQ who on purpose, so EQ who isn't removed altogether if you're looking to spam your window or if you just prefer the normal who at times. /w is aliased to the MQ who already.

For any bug reports, etc please prefix your threads with MQ2:, ie:
MQ2: Crash to desktop

Compiling instructions
BEFORE COMPILING WITH ANY METHOD - Run MQ2Auth.exe (NOTE: IF YOU ARE COMPILING FOR SOMEONE ELSE, THEY NEED TO RUN MQ2AUTH.EXE. THE FILES MQ2AUTH GENERATES ALLOWS MQ2 TO RUN ON THE COMPUTER IT IS GENERATED FROM. THE GENERATED FILES CAN ALLOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO RUN THE SAME COPY, SEE THE COMPILING FOR FRIENDS TOPICS)
Visual Studio 7 / .NET - Select "Release" configuration (should be already set), hit Build All. All DLLs and the MacroQuest2.exe will compile to the release directory.
Visual Studio 6 - Load the workspace. Set MQ2Main as active project. Hit Build MQ2Main.dll (F7). Now do Batch Build (under Build menu). Make sure everything in the batch build window that says "release" has a check by it. Click Build in the window. All should compile with no errors or warnings.

Before someone posts the MQ2ChatWnd unload crash, updated zip. SaveChatToINI was moved to the Shutdown routine for the plugin.

Iv alwasy been one of those people who do not like clutter in a programs main folder. Think that the plugin's could go in a Plug-in folder?

Other then that all I have to say is good work lax, MQ has grown alot in the last few months. This new release is not just an expansion to the old, it is a step forward.

heh theyre all in their own folders, but the DLLs go the same place macroquest2.exe goes so they can get loaded

Telnet is semi urget. I cant speak for anyone but myself, but I monitor my bazaar trader via telnet.

There are tons of other ways that telnet is usefull not related to simply redirecting MQ text to avoid detection.

The MQ Chat window is stealth. You can also unload chat plugins if you don't want the chat while you macro

Someone else will be working on the telnet plugin

*bump* everything currently below this post fixed in current zip, except any issues with VS6.

Zip updated, changed some things for plugins (nothing that will break anything you were working on, but take a look at MQ2Template and copy as necessary).

MQ2PluginDevelopment.html has been added to the zip. Plugin developers please take a gander, most particularly the procedure for starting your new plugin, and the INI file stuff.

Sorry to bother you Lax, but I don't see MQ2PluginDevelopment.html in the MQ2-Beta.zip.

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Sun Nov 16, 2003 2:32 pm

you're right I'll get that fixed

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Sun Nov 16, 2003 2:39 pm

That's what I get for doing the zip right before I go to sleep, the last update mentioned didn't make it in. Updated now. Now please grab newest and view the changes to MQ2Template

Did this release include the fix for $char(hp,regen) and $char(mana,regen)?
