I think this is all of them.

Code: Select all

#chat say
#chat tell
#chat ooc
#chat shout
#chat auc
#chat guild
#chat group
#chat chat

Pretty sure "#chat chat" is what you'd want to use for exp messages and similar.

#Chat is for.... chat. #Event would be for... events. Gaining experience is an event, OOC is a chat. Don't know if a chat event is going to work when you gain experience.

Code: Select all

#Event GainExp "You gain" 
#Event GainExp "You regain some experience from resurrection" 
#Event LoseExp "You have been slain"

Cut and pasted from:

If you happen to try #Chat for those events and it works let me know eh?

Just to satisfy a curiosity of mine, is there a #chat Raid? Or would the raid chatter be considered under the #chat Chat area? Just an odd question that popped in my head when I saw this. :)

raidsay seems to be counted as an event. not sure why though!

theyre all "event"s, but the above are built in. Raid chat wasnt added to EQ until ... ... last year? and was never put in MQ so

You might be looking for something like this. I use this to give me an idea of how much exp I'm getting.

Code: Select all

#event CheckExp "slain"

|****  Put these at the top of your macro *****|
    /declare LastExp outer
    /varset LastExp ${Me.PctExp}



|***********************************************************|
Sub Event_CheckExp
    /echo ${Math.Calc[${Me.PctExp}-${LastExp}]}
    /varset LastExp ${Me.PctExp}
/return
|***********************************************************|

Edit: I'm guessing this doesn't work with the latest zip. I have some work to do on my macros. If I had to guess, the first line would be:

Code: Select all

#event CheckExp "#*#slain#*#"

sup with the "#*#" around partial strings, and do we now need those?

also, do we need the #chat chat or whatever above, or can we just code for #events and trust it to pick stuff up?

RTFM and yes.

thanks for the helpful comments Preocts. I read the readme.chm file and it still shows the old events.

Anyone else having trouble with events, I just found the CUSTOM EVENTS CHANGE COMING post in the Conversion Help forum, and it explains the new system.

I am still unclear if we need to define a "#chat" channel before defining events, however. What happens if we leave it blank? Will it use everything or does it have a default channel it will use if nothing is assigned?
