I am new to Macro Quest the installation tutorial thing was great. Here is my question I am wanting to use Macro Quest for 3 things really the map fuction where you can see PC and NPC's moveing on the map as well as Corpse's. Also to drag more than 1 corpse at a time on my Rogue. This will help me with scouting and pulling. The third thing is to Have a spell timer for my Necro to see when a DoT is about to run out and so on.

Ok figured out the Map thing need help below plz.

Second I found a Corpse Drag macro in the Macro Depot how do I set it up to use? where do I put the code and then once in game how dose it work?

I am sure if I can find out how the corpse drag works I can figure out the spell timer.

Sorry for such the Newbi question but I am not a code writer and a person in passing told me about this site and I am not able to contact him to get some help. I am not looking to anything to crazy with this program just some simple things. Any help would be great thanks in advance.

/mapfilter
Used to control the display of information on the in game map. See /mapfilter in MQ2Map for more details on /mapfilter and other map related slash commands specific to MQ2Map.

Straight from the readme file that came with the zip. Under heading MacroQuest2 Commands.

Read the manual, try search, then if still having problems come here and ask.

Killing time waiting for a server to reboot so ill reply :)

To use a macro you need to copy the code into a plain text document using notepad or something similar. Save the file with a .mac extension (ensure you have the show file extensions setting in explorer) into the macro directory.

In game just type /macro <name you called the file.mac> to use it.

The spelltimers you are after will need you to either find or write your own macro that starts a timer off based on the text output to the logfile when a particular buff is cast then produces some output when it runs out.

When saving, be sure to change the "Save As" to ALL.

You save all macros to the subdirectory MACROS. This will either be in your main MQ2 or the Release directory, depending on if you moved the macroquest2.exe and dlls. Most likely you have not so /mq2/release/macros.
