I don't know if the spell_routines.inc Cast sub delays until the spell has completed It does. Personally, I don't use events to find out the buffs I need in my macros. I would use something like this instead: /if (!${Me.Buff[Arcane Rune].ID} && ${Me.AltAbility[Arcane Rune].Spell.Stacks} &am...

Instead of testing a variable against 0 (==0), you could use !${varName} instead. That also fires if the variable is not declared. Just a hint.

My own setup is Windows 7 (64 bit) Home with the free MS Virtual C++ Express Edition. Just run everything as Administrator and it's not even necessary to run in XP emulation mode.

No idea how to program that. You could look into making an alias for /target pc I have no idea if it will work, but if you put in /tpc=/target pc in the ini file (right click the MQ2 icon, select ini) maybe you can use a /tpc command instead of typing /target pc I know it is not exactly what you wan...

So there will never be a way to bypass having to type /target pc player? What is the problem exactly? Typing only part of name and getting pet on target, or do you group with PCs called Laser and Gann? Or are you using it in a macro, which case /target id ${Spawn[pc name].ID} works great for not hi...

Just for completenes sake, you may want to include "You gain raid experience" in that one (not that anyone raids for exp).

Wouldnt that macro create a lot of spam when it tries to fire while the Ranged/Melee button is on "cooldown"? I tried something to this effect before, but I seem to recall it creating a lot of "Your ability is not ready" or some such error message. Does it matter, if it is only c...

If using a mount and the lowest mana spells you can find of each type, I doubt the medding routine will ever be invoked. At least this has been the case for my newest creation.

Using W7 64bit RC myself without a problem. Here is what I do:

1. Run MQ2Auth
2. Compile

When new ZIP is available:

1. Download
2. Unzip only changed files
3. Compile

Runs without a hitch and I don't redo the MQ2Auth before each compile.
