Okay, MQ has a learning curve. If you don't have time to learn it, you're better off not using it.

ok i have heard you say that several times. <flame on> makes you sound like some 14yo who's parents have more money then time or love for their child! or either a hacker, (modern day useage not origanal)a programer (most have lost touch with the real world and the people in it), or just a lonley computer nerd who feels bigger by stomping what he knows(often the only thing) into every ones face. <flame off>

NO i dont know much about scripting
no i dont live breath everquest or MQ
no i dont feel like im asking you to hold my hand
no i dont have time to wade through 10,000 posts to find a posable answer

yes i understand that this is open source ,and what it implys
yes i am smart enough to follow instructions and compile MQ
yes i injoy the map in MQ
YES I INJOY RANTING IN THE POSTS

BUT mostly im wondering why i even started posting for help when in allmost every case i have read where some one is looking for help they get slaped in the face ( by the way even though one pays for Xylobot it is just about as hard to get help there)

AND... if this is "open sorce" why is every one so protective about its secrets???

p.s. yes flames welcome( if yhey realy make you feel better, stronger, smarter......)

Ok.. now I'm getting pissed. How often do you think the people on these boards hear your same exact questions? If you were asked the same questions over and over and over and over again.

You'd either A: Not answer. Or B: Tell them to use the search function.

I try to help every single person here that asks me a legit question that isn't easy to figure out and/or is confusing. So far, all of your questions haven't fit that category.

Things for you to do:
1. Read the readme.html
2. Use the existing macros.
3. Use the search function on the board.
4. Play around trying to make changes to existing macros.

If you can't do any of the preceding then don't bother asking questions because you *would* indeed be asking for hand holding.

You forgot

5. Flaming devs is a bad idea (tm).

Honestly, I've tried to be patient. This sudden mass migration of Xylobot users asking to have the world handed to them has simply gotten out of hand.

It's very simple folks. Either take the time to learn how to use MQ, or don't use it. If you "don't have the time", go somewhere else.
