MacroQuest and Windows XP ?

Kenia · Post by **Kenia** » Mon Jul 08, 2002 6:25 pm

Either im doing something wrong, or is Windows XP not supported by MacroQuest ?
Some of the simple stuff works splendid, like /target mobname, /face, /mouseto etc..
But other commands are simply ignored, i was trying a to build simple script like following a mob, but seems i cant get the autorun and other "move" command to get working at all.

Trying to install win 98 tonight to see if that fix'es the problem.

this is my simple script, snatched a little from here and there, thing is tho, i face the mob everytime, i just dont move an inch.

I'm pretty sure the routines.mac is called too, as i modified it, so it would log whenever it was called, and the logfile started to get filled up with my test comments.

Code: Select all

#include SpellSub.mac 
#include routines.mac 

Sub Main
:loop	
	/face
	/if n $target(distance)>20 /call AutoRun 1 
	/if n $target(distance)<19 /call AutoRun 0 
	
	/goto :loop

/return

Salutations,
try this:

Code: Select all

Sub Main
:loop   
   /face
   /if n $target(distance)>20 /sendkey down up
   /if n $target(distance)<19 /sendkey up up
   
   /goto :loop

/return

Didnt make any difference, thanks for trying tho :)

btw.. i made a little more tests, some other commands doesnt work either, like /listmacros, /items, /skills and /commands for example. Nothing happens when i type those manualy in my chatbox, or when i try to run that single command via a script.

I also noted that a some variables didnt work for me either, i only tested a few of them, but $zone returned a "@Zone", whereas $combat returned either "TRUE" or "FALSE" depending on combat mode on or off.

I've suspected the problem might have been im running with a danish keyboard, but switching to a us keyboard did little results neither.

The windows XP im using is US, I just use a danish keyboard setup.

There it is... you need to use the US keyboard setup.

aye - your KB setting!

Im using MQ on XP also with EQW running 1024x768 16 bit. Works a treat - better than on other OS ive been running.

BTW...I use UK Keyboard setting - i have occassional problems but not sure if its down to that, but on whole macros work fine & dandy.

Might just switch to US for a few days & see if that resolves it...

Couple things...

1. Keyboard will be fixed in the next public release.

2. Zone variables:
Current: $zone()
Bound: $zone(bound)
Birth: $zone(birth)

3. Commands not displaying. Try "/filter macros all"
/filter macros enhanced is overly filtering at this time.

And what a great change that macro filtering was m8!
