Does the mq2exchange plugin make this any faster than simply doing a swap via macro? In my own macros where I fetch items and equip them, the real lag is in opening and closing bags and not in the macros' execution.

Hi Flabbie, Thanks for the kind words. I dropped out of EQ for a couple of months while my RL job was kicking my ass. I may go back and actually re-tool some of my own macro for a greater level of flexibility. First, I failed to read or understand some other posts in the macros depot. Because of tha...

Ok another question. In the first post I alluded to the fact that some of my string variable declarations are surrounded by quotation marks. I am also told that this is generally considered bad form and EBS gave an explanation of why that is so. However, I can't figure out how to make this stuff wor...

Of all the stupid, moronic, idiotic, @#$% gaffes.... Before (not working): /if (!${Window[${InvSlot[${BagToOpen}].Open}]) After (working): /if (!${Window[${InvSlot[${BagToOpen}].Name}].Open}) Sigh...can you spot the difference?! Thank you for linking to the "feedme" post. It's exactly what...

Great link on the feedme. I think I understand what I did wrong and will try to roll in a similar implentation in the next day or two. Thanks so much.

Checking for open inventory containers

Edit: the include file is now updated and seems to address the open and closed bag assignments I was trying to achieve. Feel free to play with it and post any feedback. Once it's determined to be properly cool, I'll repost it in either macro depot or macro snippets. Basic usage is to tell your regul...

Hey thanks everybody. A lively discussion is better than no discussion at all. EBS definitely understood my comment on programming languages. I too LOGO in jr. high school and did some qbasic a few years ago, and that's about it. No hard feeling I hope! And EBS, I tried that /nomodkey command (can't...

I think you're so impressed with your "developer" status that you feel the right (or need) to be rude to a n00bie who asked a question after failing to find the answer on his own. Then after realizing that a non-developer provided the correct answer based on the information provided in the...

Thanks EBS, that's exactly what I needed! And don't_know_at_all, it's not very nice to intentionally associate ignorance with stupidity. I freely admit to ignorance and said as much at the beginning of the thread. Thanks for the replies all the same, but EBS was able to infer my real need (where I d...

I don't understand, but I'm not at all familiar with C++ or any other modern programming languages. Should I assume I won't be able to implement this on my own?

/cast item to open a container?

http://www.macroquest2.com/wiki/index.php//cast I was just wondering if there's a game-mechanics reason why /cast can't open a container rather than using /itemnotify 25 rightmouseup, for example. I ask because I have a bad habit of holding my alt key down on occasion to look at the next spell I int...

Also, for something like ${RobeCasts}==0, you can just use !${RobeCasts}. Hi there, back again from another trip. Yes, I thought about this too, and thought about it some more after reading your post. The reason I elected to check for a zero value in particular is because I'm looking at the var not...

Well it's nice to know I'm on the right track, even if the tracks go straight to hell. Off the top of my head, one could look at this as a binary problem with values. 1 - SoW 2 - Mount 4 - Levitation Adding any combination of the numbers above will yield a unique result. For example: 1 = 1 (SoW work...
