I was just about to say the same thing DeathOfRats.

While that post was incredibly hard to read, what I managed to make of it was you want help a) Getting MQ up and running, and b) learning to script macros.

We can't help you with a) unless you provide more information, such as whether or not you can compile MQ at all. You are aware you need either Visual C++ 6.0 or Visual C++ .NET to even get started, aren't you?

Use the SEARCH function, compiling MQ has been addressed numerous times.

MQ comes with a README file, that addresses the basics. Granted it's fairly out of date, and can even be a bit cryptic at times, but you can at least get an overview of the scripting language.

Then, go to the Macro Depot and read macros. Start with the small ones, things that auto-fish and such. When you are comfortable with those you can move on to more complicated (Grimjack :) ) scripts.

And please, please try to write posts in English, with proper sentences and paragraphs. The harder your questions are to figure out the less likely people are to take the time to help you.

ok, as far as paragraphs are concerned, i figured simply that most people that frequent boards are used to reading straight through.

secondly, (there is a small but still a paragrapgh) as far as questions for help are concerned, i dont even know where to begin asking.

as far as what i know? count that as nothing. i havent the foggiest as to what you mean by C++ and stuff.

So i guess that is what i am asking help on first. what the C++ stuff is and how do i use it to implement scripts into macros.

told ya im a newb at this.

Take a progamming course at your local high school or community college. Even the most basic course will be enough for you to follow the instructions for compiling MQ.

ok guys look im serious here! geez!

anyways as far as the comment about take a local coarse then you aint been to no hick town! damn! lol

i live in a town where my graduating class was 60 total peeps for my year :P they never offeed a basic comp. prgog class or anything dealing with computers :P ans as far as going back to scholl i highly doubt ill find a school anywhere within 60 miles of me that even really knows what a computer is! so im not joking here i have zero resaouces for information like this!

look my email is caligula696@yahoo.com go ahead and send me anything you might think is helpful.

i dont plan on leaving these boards alone anytime soon so help here would be the best bet instead of ignorant anal comments.

stating the obvious to me is kinda like lookin in the mirro to yourself and goin "duh! im a bonehead!" kinda redundant and pointless.

i am looking for genuine help on either setting up macros or recieveing working copys of it where i can simply plop em into the folder and go. im not looking to learn the entire trip in a matter of minutes but ide seriously like some help.

for instance i wanta do the cheese.mac but as far as beeing able to set it up myself i aint got a clue! so would luv it if someone being kind and not malicious could send me the info on how to A) do it myself or B) send me a working copy and the info i need to install it.

im a newb and just wanta get things set up for myself in game for now and want to continue to read the boards you all have and try to figure this stuff out for myself. so ANY real information would SERIOUSLY appreciated as in IE you on me server send the wench a tell (youll know me if your on that server) and ill do everything in my power to aid asisst and downright hook up whatever i can aand then some. aint a bribe its genuine appreciativeness.

anyways im gunna stop rambling and continue to named rape zones with what i have figured out for myself allready.

thanks guys and gals this stuff is absolutley awsome and keep up the killer work :) i admire you all :)
