Makes sense. Before the patch, mouse movement was controlled entirely by EQ. Now EQ uses the Windows mouse object. Clicks are probably still controlled by EQ, which is why they still work.

You da man, Lax. That did it.

I'll look through the release to see if I can figure out what that did, but for now I'm happy.

One of the PCs I run MQ on is an old PII system with an Intel 810 graphics chip (unaccellerated). I have it optimized for macro performance (no sound, low clip plane, low res graphics, etc.) Until the last patch on 5/5, it has worked quite well, especially after Sony sorted out all the Dx9 issues. B...

The square is a Ctrl-R.

I also suggest you use the search feature of this site, as there have been several threads discussing links here.

A plugin is simply a software module that extends MQ2's functionality. It usually includes new MQ2 commands and variables that can be used in making macros. In MQ2, all of the basic functionality of old MQ was rewritten as a set of plugins as well. The rest of MQ2 is a framework for managing the col...

I'd like to be able to construct an item link for any item in the game. Looking at a few item links, such as: - 0013593-00001-00001-00001-00001-00001FD5488DDTorn Training Robe* - You can see that the item ID is in the first field and the name is at the end. But it looks like there is a hash code rig...

The difference in price is not the differnece between merchant sell price and merchant buyback price. That difference is usually much larger. The merchant buyback price that is sent by the server in the item packet is always reduced by a certain factor. If your CHA is >= 104 and the merchant is Indi...

insanitywiz, you nailed it for me: 1) Move/rename your old source directory. 2) Download a clean copy of the source (Zip worked with the last person that got fixed) 3) (For .NET) make sure you are opening macroquest.sln rather then the .dsp When I did this, I got 3 builds successful, whereas I usual...

lost_man, there are a number of people with exactly the problem ypu describe (myself included). See this thread: http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3358

The only common thread so far appears to be that we are all using VS.Net.

Well, enough other people are having the same problem, I don't feel so stupid now. Just to try something else, I installed VS.NET on a clean Win2K machine with nothing else installed except EQ and MQ, and did the whole download/compile process again. Same result: - No errors on compile - On startup,...

I downloaded the latest zip file from the DL page this morning (size 935,930), rebooted and reinstalled. Same problem. No MQ commands are recognized. I'm not using telnet. /face opens the EQ face window that lets me set character face graphics. Did anything changed with the MS detours in the Big Cha...

I just DL'd the Oct 10 zipfile (543,633 bytes) and compiled it. I have installed it on 3 different machines running XP, 2K and 2K3, all of which were running the latest pre-Big Change version before. Now I cannot get any MQ commands to work. (EQ says "That is not a recognized command.") I ...
