Text Macros crashing eq?

sunflail · Post by **sunflail** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 4:07 pm

running eqw 2.35a with 2 instances open correctly, mq latest build (20031013#2) runnin, and everything works great

except when I try to use one of my text macros, just like a simple slow message such as

/group <<< %t Slowed >>>
/rsay <<< %t SLOWED >>>

for some reason chat macros like that make eq crash with that lame 'eq has found an error, would you like to send the info blah blah' pop up box

any ideas?

Doesnt seem like it should crash you..
Just to satisfy my curiosity though, try this..

;1 <<< %T Slowed >>>
/rs <<< %T Slowed >>>

It avoids EQ's "spam detection" by sending the first line to a chat channel (which isnt spam protected) and the second to a "real" channel which is spam protected.

still crashed, and the reason is...

%s

no clue why - my macro had << turgurs on %t --- %s slowed! >>>

so its'd read like turgurs on bob -- he's slowed!

for some reason it hates %s

then use mq's $target and not the in game variable
