No Icon
I have loaded 20030308 into my file. but when I go into realease there is no Icon to make short cut to activate MQ. I have copied and move icon over and still does not "Activate MQ" in eq. noticed there were alot more items in offset from 02/03 so copied rest of release and moved over to the 03/03 file. On EQ it showed that MQ was active but when I typed "/WHO" program crashed and was back at desk top. Please help have been using MQ for over a year now and always seemed to fiqure a way to make program work by reading here, or experimenting. But have no luck now. It is amazing how much I really use MQ, play on PVP server and am not a pk but use it to be aware of zone. I have been getting ganked all the time now.
Any hint will help.
Thanks,

If I understand this correctly, you copied info from the 02/03 files into the 03/08 files because the March files are shorter?
The March eqgame.ini file is "shorter" than previous releases for the simple fact that many functions no longer work and therefore there was NO REASON to keep the references to them in the file. In addition you'll see many values listed at 0. Those are place holders, since no one has found working offsets for those functions yet, or placing the "correct" offset in there will cause the game to crash.
If you have no MQ icon, it's because you didn't compile SRC-20030308 correctly, referencing the correct resource (.rc) files.
If you aren't getting the "MacroQuest is Active" message, either a) MQ isn't loading, or b) you have it filtered out in macroquest.ini. Remember, the macroquest.ini.dist file is SOMEONE ELSE'S ini file, and therefore set up the way they want. You need to take a look at it and edit it as well to reflect your needs.

Still no Icon
Made new file and loade zip SRC-20030308.zip off of this site. Created folder "SRC-20030308". Open file and went under subfile "Release" In this file there is no Icon to click on to show Macro is on at lower right of tool bar on desk top.
From this new file how do I click MQ on?
Sorry to keep bothering you
but am at a loss.

Ah, I see.
The most recent release of MacroQuest only has the source code for the program in it. There are no binaries, which means no executable files.
To get MQ to work you have to compile it with Microsoft Visual C++, either version 6.0 or the .NET version (VC++ 7). When you compile (instructions can be found in various posts here, use the search function), you get two files, Macroquest.exe and EQLib.dll. Once you have those you can double click on Macroquest.exe to get MQ to run.
