I have been searching on how to do this but I cant find out. I cant figure out how to get a macro from the macro depot. I am new to MQ but I want to use that tracker.mac. If anyone can post a link to a post on how to get that working it would be great.

Do a search for the macro you want then copy and paste it into a text file in the \Release\Macro directory and save it as tracker.mac

Then open a telnet session to the MQ and type /macro tracker

This should be enough information to get you started.

thx mqseq! I am new to telnet, but i downloaded PuTTy. put in localhost and my port number (can this be any 3 numbers?). So now I try to edit my macroquest.ini file in the release directory but when I try to save it, it says its read only and I cant edit it

When you use CVS to download the files they are read-only by default. Go to your macroquest folder, right click, select properties. Clear read-only.

duh, sorry, should have known that.

ok, i think i have telnet working and the track.mac working. I went to /release/macros directory and then went to file -> new -> macroquest macro. Copy and pasted the track.mac code. Then for the ini file I made a new text file, named it alert.ini and copied the info from the last post in that mac topic (seemed to be most up to date) Then I did "/macro track.mac run" it seems to run! omg

But when I zone i get the message [macroquest] No NPC alerts set for plane of valor, hoh, inovation, fire, tranquility So I dont know what happened there.

There are at least 2 reasons why you would get that message. The two most obvious reasons are 1) The alert.ini file doesn't have any mobs listed for those zones or 2) the macro isn't finding the alert.ini and doesn't know of any mobs.

Both are fairly easy to determine.

1) Open the ini file and find a zone w/ entries, then in game, go to that zone.

If #1 shows mobs in the zone and you still get that message, then there is a really good chance the problem is #2.

wow that was it, thx macrofiend. I had to edit the path to the ini file! This stuff is easier then I thought, when I see the code I get all scared and try not to look at it too long =p

I turned off puTTy (telnet) and the track.mac still works. So why do you need telnet?

MacroFiend · Post by **MacroFiend** » Wed Oct 01, 2003 11:21 pm

You don't need the telnet session if you just want to run the commands in-game. Many people like using the telnet server so they can issue commands to MQ from another machine or while the EQ window is in the background.

Personally, I haven't had the need to use it yet.

I use the Telnet seesion so I can sit at work and connect to my computers and use my banker to monitor sales and to talk to folks in game.

I have not research how to run the commands in game vs. a telnet session. I've been looking through the source code just so I can learn what the commands are since the MQ documentation is out dated. If I get a chance I'm going to make me a list of the commands with little examples on how to use them.

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Thu Oct 02, 2003 11:57 am

Ya know MQSEQ, I never thought of that. I don't use the telnet functions, but maybe I'll give it a shot so I can connect and at least chat to the guild from work. EQ and EQIM won't work from here, but I bet I can telnet in to my machine at home with a trader running.

Thanks, great idea.

That is an awesome idea! Especially since SOE dropped support from EQIM and you can't even download it from their site anymore.

Not to be agumentative, but you can still download EQIM here

You may need to update the serverinfo.xml to look like this in order to see some of the newer servers.

No ... be argumentative

It is nice to know they haven't pulled the download page (even though I couldn't find a direct link on the EQLive site) But now ... go here and do a search for EQIM

I know im gonna get flamed for this, but....
