Ah, you need to have all your packs open for finditem to work.

Things happen asynchronously as far as clicks are concerned and the code is left over from when we could do things synchronously. What is happening is that the pack is closed, we right click to open it, and then check if it is open *before* the right click is processed. After the error is detected, the pack opens.

OK thanks.

While I have your attention, is there any up to date command list anywhere? Alternatively I can do a /help macro, but how do I get help on specific commands? Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section!

Ha. There are several people who claim to writing up all the changes but somehow it never gets finished.

I am working on it, although at the moment it is in .txt format. I can send it to someone in Messenger if they care to log on.

Far from complete since I haven't used all of the commands. Some of the commands have so many options it is difficult to format the command syntax also.

When you finish it let me know. I'll convert it to HTML, and we can put it online here (or somewhere) instead of keeping it in the CVS.

Hi
Just a brief comment. I have not used Macroquest for about a year as, being a bit long in the tooth(me, not my necro), I was a bit phased by the idea of compiling etc etc..Coming back to the board last week I saw the idiots guide and promptly went off to Ebay to buy C+++. Program arrived today and I followed the instructions to the letter.
Not a single problem and I am back online with Macroquest.
Thanks guys, a great job.

Wassup is leading an assault on redoing the readme file that I bet is going to be pretty good once he's done. I sortof lit a fire under that project a month or so ago ...hehe ..I'm glad he's doing it though, it's going to be great!

latest.zip -> Not compiling on 10/25/03...

Code: Select all

Seems that a few more items were left out of _ZONEINFO? I checked and rechecked.. moved my old directory and made a new one.. and the _ZONEINFO struct that I have seems to not be as complete as "DECLARE_API ( pzoneinfo )" wants.. (It's no where near starting a variable at offset 354..)

Code: Select all

// 5-15-2003    Amadeus (discovered by Lax)
// Actual Size 0x240, old
typedef struct _ZONEINFO {

/*0x060*/   CHAR    LongName[0x80];
/*0x0E0*/   CHAR    Unknown0x0e0[0x96];  // <-- this isnt part of zone name, see CEverQuest__CEverQuest
/*0x176*/   BYTE    Unknown0x176;       // temp flag used in CEverQuest constructor
/*0x177*/   BYTE    Unknown0x177[0x0b];

} ZONEINFO, *PZONEINFO;

No. the zoneinfo struct is a static struct, not dynamically allocated. What amadeus was seeing was data outside of the struct

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 10:22 am

It's exts2 that is not compiling. You don't need it, just turn it off. Only compile macroquest.exe and eqlib.dll.

That should probably be the default compile option in the CVS. People who need exts2 and know what it is for can go back and enable it if they need to.

In 2003-10-27.zip MacroQuest.sln for VS.net seems corrupted.
Compiler refuses to load it.

2003-10-26.zip compiles fine when you disable mqext.

ok, edit:
answered in another thread...
but found another solution:
1. open MacroQuest.sln with normal texteditor
2. change first line version 8.00 to 7.00
3. save
4. open MacroQuest.sln normal with VS.net
5. drag-n-drop EQlib_UI.cpp to Prioject ("EQlib/Sourcefiles"- right border of window)
6. disable mqext in Config-manager
7. compile
8. cheer

but question to developer... what is version 8.00 of VS.net?

With mighty flashes from the heavens and thunderous reports from cold grey mountain ranges the task was set.

And though the masses wail and beat their breasts entreating the deity of documentation to give on to them the wisdom they cannot live another day without.
The great one is silent and one can only ponder the humor in his eyes as he views the village idiots as they vainly scrounge and scratch for table scraps.
Here us divine being of knowledge and light, our prayers and the hopes for our future are laid at the foot of your throne.
Share with us even that you consider contemptible as it surely would be a boon of brilliance in our otherwise dark meanderings.
We beseech you to entreat us to any and all of what is to you mundane and beneath notice amongst the gods of macroing.
Give on to us your writ that we may pass it in holy reverence from generation to generation.
Demand sacrifice from us if you must but no longer forsake us.
This we pray in the name of the holy code giver SourceForge.
Amen
