I know this doesnt help much sky (tired... >36 hours solid hacking now), but this works fine for me, and notice my delays. non-detoured should be quicker i think if anything.

Code: Select all

Sub Main 
/press shift 
/press ctrl 
/press alt 
/press esc 
/press esc 
/press esc 
/press i 
/delay 0 
/for v1 0 to 7 
/if $pack($v1,open)!=TRUE /click right inv $v1 
/delay 0 
/next v1 
/return

That actually made it worse. Now it doesnt start opening packs at the 4th pack, it just never opens inventory at all. The mouse tracking shows that the cursor is in the right spot for each pack though.

Well, to sum it up.....

1)Mouse locations seem to be on the money.
2)/press i at the command line gives instant access
3)/press i lags HEAVY in a script

Pretty new at this, but I noted this while monkeying with MQ.

A command like $item($comb,$p1,name), if there is nothing in the spot in question, it errors out EQ.

If there is something there, it works fine.

It appears that using the '$' character in any of the chat windows in EQ will replace it with the '@' character. Not sure if this is seen server-side or locally, but I would guess it is just local.

So far I have had marginal success.

Ill update ya, im messin with it now.

When you release the mouse you can still type so there is little need to put in those begining delays.

Also is there a work around for $count or is that working atm? I know there is talk about the stack but...

If you tried to type this in the console after you had started a macro you might simply have your shift stuck. You can usually unstick it by pressing alt+shift again. I have noticed my shift will get stuck when I stop the macro at certain points.

No macros, no shift keys. Just plain typing '$' into a chat window and hitting enter will result in '@' being displayed instead.

This behavior ($ being replaced) was happening prior to the 26th patch. I was typing something in guild chat, and had not run any macros, when I saw this last week. My trader mule saw it in guild chat on second box.

Dunno if that's useful, but....

ParseMacroParameter parses anything and everything you type into the chat box. If you type in a $, and it cannot evaluate it to a macro parameter, it replaces it with an @

simple as that.

yes, it's seen server-side.
yes, I may look into finding a way to change this behaviour.. after we get everything else working again.

Fixed. Posted to CVS.

DKAA, mind updating the zip again?

Aye, I'll just pray that a GM doesn't interrogate me and ask me to type a $ for him

16 hours ago, Valerian told Light Knight that the problem with $item was "Fixed. Posted to CVS." and requested DKAA to update the zip file.

After compiling the zip file, I discovered the problem was still there. So, I hunkered in and figured out CVS ... only the files I got from CVS won't compile:

2 warnings LNK4003: invalid library format; libary igno EQLib
5 errors LNK2019 & LNK 2001: unresolved external symbol _DetourEQLib
fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals EQLIB

Am I doing something wrong? Am I being too impatient?

Reporting ANYTHING related to ANY zip file is irritating.

Take half an hour and LEARN cvs. It's not that hard, and there are TONS of postings on these forums that give many ways of using it without even learning text based command prompt things.

I'm so damn sick of hearing about this zip file, it should be permanently deleted.

After spending a hour trying to get the anonymous CVS server to work, I built the zip file. It is a necessary evil until all the CVS servers work correctly.

Amadeus ... not sure you actually read my post.

I DID figure out the CVS ... and it wasn't very hard at all. Just never did it cuz people here post about CVS not working or being 24 hours behind the zip file.

That kinda misses the entire point behind my post though. CVS isn't working either. At least the zip file will compile!

Rather than bitching about a word I used in my post, why not try answering the question I asked?
