Is Macroquest working on european servers?

DaGrumpf · Post by **DaGrumpf** » Sat Jun 07, 2003 10:07 am

Hi.

I've got a fresh version of MQ from CVS (20030516), and offsets from Thu May the 15th.

As i guessed, i've got a client version error at EQ launching, as the exe is not the same. Unfortunately, trying to use the ClientOverride=1 trick doesn't make it work any more (no "Macroquest is active." stuff, or any command working properly).

So, has anyone got any work-around to help on the "odd exe servers", perhaps using different offsets, or simply older ones (as we are always late in patches) ?

I'm really clueless here.

Thanks for your answers,

Da Grumpf.

if european servers are just 1 patch "behind" US servers, then you can just pick up the MQ version in cvs that was in use previously...

If they have their own development team, you need both new offsets and structures in mq.h

with some luck you just need offsets and then there are a few guides on how to find them, use search...

I wrote a guide howto find and correct structures, use search.

Us & Euro EQ use the same binary. No nned to change the offset.

The fastest way to make it works is to edit EQLib_Hooks.cpp

Find

Code: Select all

class CChatHook
{
  public:
    VOID Trampoline(PCHAR szMsg, DWORD dwColor, DWORD dwUnknown);
    VOID Detour(PCHAR szMsg, DWORD dwColor, DWORD dwUnknown)
    {
		DebugSpew("CChatHook::Detour(%s)",szMsg);
		gbInChat = TRUE;
		if ((!strncmp(szMsg,"You have entered ",17)) || (strstr(szMsg," saved."))) {
			if (gZoning) {
				gDelayZoning += gZoneDelay;
				gZoning=FALSE;
			}

now edit this line
if ((!strncmp(szMsg,"You have entered ",17)) || (strstr(szMsg," saved."))) {

And change the "you have entred" & " saved"

It need more change if you want everything to be perfect but with only this change MQ will load fine & most macro will work.

Hi,

I have changed these and all of the strings inside the EQLib_Hooks.cpp. I guess it will not quite fit perfectly, but oh well...

Compiled, all went ok.

MQ is working perfectly indeed now. Nevertheless, i have to keep using the ClientOverride trick.

Thank you for you help.

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with Macroquest on European servers. I dl'ed the latest cvs version as usual, editing the EQLib_Hooks.cpp now i have been enlightened, and compiling without error eventually.

Though, this time, it just won't work. No "Macroquest is active." string... Has anyone met the same problem, nad/or got any new trick to use ?

I am as clueless as ever.

Thank you in advance.

You need an older version of the eqgame.ini. The version 1.25 of that file works.

Hi,

Im not sure about what you exactly call "version 1.25" of the eqgame.ini file.

Would you mind giving me another hint about getting those working offsets, please ? The Serach feature didnt help me much.

Thank you,

Da Grumpf.

Once again... when downloading a fresh CVS, make sure you check Macroquest.ini. By default it comes with all MQ messages filtered, so you will not see the "Macroquest is active" message. You have to turn the filtering off.

Instead of running MQ from whatever directory you compile it into, copy EQLib.dll, Macroquest.exe, and eqgame.ini to a different directory and run from there. This will keep you from overwriting your personal Macroquest.ini and having this problem with every new CVS download.

Hi.

I must admit i don't really see your point here Mckorr. My mistake is perhaps only saying that "Macroquest is active." is not displayed, when, in fact, there is absolutely not any single command (/target, /who npc, /face) working properly.

I don't think it is a matter of filtering here. According to Europian, older offsets are needed to make it work, though i have no clue about this "version 1.25".

Or, perhaps i am totally wrong here and didn't understand you, Mckorr.

Quite frequently the cause of not seeing the "Macroquest is active" message has to do with the settings in macroquest.ini. Many people just CVS the new build and end up overwriting their own ini file with the default one, and we get a ton of "I can't see the start message" posts.

My point was that the first thing to check if you do not see the activation message, which, frankly, is where most people stop and assume MQ isn't working, is to check for filtering in Macroquest.ini.

I apologize if I misunderstood your problem.

Hi.

It's ok Mckorr, i just wasn't clear enough in my description of the problem.

And, to answer Europian, the eqgame.ini you posted works very well indeed. My next step will be to figure out where in cvs i can find the old rev. of the project files. It might help on the next patch.

Thanks to both of you for your time.

Da Grumpf.
