Post by the_horror » Tue Jun 01, 2004 3:10 pm

Hello forgive my noobness. I have been using MQ for about 3 months now and it bugs me that i just leach others works. I would like to make my own and contribute to this great add on to EQ. I program in PHP,C and other various languages but can not pin this one down. I see it is alot like pearl but i am not very learned in the ways of pearl. Any help would be great. Try not to flame me to hard hehe btw thanks to all the people that have made this program and the scripts possiable.

Well before the flaming comes, your gonna get teh same answer as all the others tons of people who have asked. Most say, dig into the forums, read up on what you can. Others have also suggestings, Use the Readme file, take and old macro, and see what you can do about converting it into MQ2 vars, ect.

I find it difficult to beleive that you know how to turn a computer on much less program in any langauge. How the fuck did you learn C and php? Magic? Pick a forum, read, read, and read some more. Open the ReadMe (gasp) file included in the zip... might, I dunno, find some information on how MQ2 macro scripting works.

I'd say MQ2 is more like PHP than C, as it does it pre-processing of commands in a similar way. But I have to agree, if you learned C and PHP, you can go MQ2 scripting.

I have been going through the read me files and searching the boards and think I am starting to find the info I needed. I was not sure what like the preset or predefined var, commands, and functions where. I want to thank both of you. :wink:
