MQ2Cast not working for me

Dagger33 · Post by **Dagger33** » Wed May 15, 2019 5:07 pm

Hi all,

I have set up EQBC and have a service runnig on main pc of three.

I have loaded moveutils and mqmelee and all working fine.

I loaded Mq2Cast on all toons but when i issue the command from main to toon it does nada using the /casting command as per below instructions. If I use /bct <Toonname> /cast 7 it works fine but /casting "Minor Shielding" 1 it doesnt nor does any of the /casting commands illustrated below. I'm obviously missing something basic. Any ideas please?

/casting
Syntax:

/casting "Name" [type] [options]
Although the [type] is optional, it's always recommended to specify if you're casting a spell (specify the gem or number), clicking an item (specify "item" or the slot name/slot number) or activating an AA (specify "alt"), since there are AAs which have the same name as spells and spells and items can have the same IDs.

The /casting command requires only 1 argument, the name of the spell you wish to cast. If the spell is not memmed, it will try and mem it in gem5 (this is the default if no gem is specified). If the spell has more than one word, make sure to surround it with quotes. For example:

/casting "Minor Shielding"
This will cast the Minor Shielding spell if it is already memmed, or if not, will attempt to memorize it in gem5 before casting.

You can also include the gem number (or just the number) after the name of the spell, to indicate which gem it should be memmed into. For example:

/casting "Minor Shielding" 1
/casting "Minor Shielding" gem1
These will both cast Minor Shielding if memmed, or memorize it in gem1 before casting.

The gem number can also be appended to the end of the spell name, separated by a pipe command, like so:

/casting "Minor Shielding|gem1"
/casting "Minor Shielding|1"
You can also use the ID of the spell you wish to mem/cast. The following 4 examples all do the same thing:

/casting 288|gem1
/casting 288|1
/casting 288 gem1
/casting 288 1

Are you using the latest version of MQ2Cast from the builder?

Does the command /casting "spirit shield" from the command line?

Does the command /bct TOON //casting "spirit shield" work ? ( notice the double // )

I seem to recall there was a setting/flag which tells bct to allow remote commands or not.

Hi Dewey2461,
Thanks for responding - much appreciated! :)

This has really got me flummoxed. All the other plugins are working fine.

Are you using the latest version of MQ2Cast from the builder? Yes, and checked and unchecked before build.

Does the command /casting "spirit shield" from the command line? No, /cast works as you would expect but /casting has no effect.

Does the command /bct TOON //casting "spirit shield" work ? ( notice the double // ) No, but /bct TOON //cast 3 does work fine so my eqbcs is set up and working fine.

Cant figure this out :/

Best regards

Dagger33

Double check the name of the spells, make sure to include the exact rank of the spell.

Failing that post the exact message you see when you type

/plugin mq2cast
