click command has unexpected results

Post by yurik » Tue Oct 29, 2002 7:10 pm

I'm having a serious problem with the /click right inv command. It won't ever work at all. The code that follows makes a little window pop up over my chat screen (it's the one that lets you pick your chatting language, and has little checkboxes for what channels you want to click on).

I've been at this for 8 hours now. I am running the old UI, offsets off the message board,I've tried the latest build and the "last stable" build, I've turned off turbo, I've sprinkled magic fairy dust over the computer, waved some chicken bones at it, and it still won't work. Please forgive me for my noobyness, but I have to ask this. I've searched the message boards and can find nothing related to anyone else ever having this particular problem.

Code: Select all

 /if $invpanel==TRUE /if $pack($v80,open)==FALSE /click right inv $v80
If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, please let me know...
Thanks in advance,

Yurik

/click isn't working with the new UI. Change to the old UI and try it.

click problem

I have had problems with the click. My solution was to use the the 1016 version and all works fine there. You might want to give that a shot. Using the latest version of an IRC usually implies stability problems. Those problems eventually get solved :roll:

Got it to work, but don't know how...

:? Not quite sure how, but it's finally working... I spent about 3 days on this total, and I only wish I know what I did to make it work... In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I did to fix it...

I downloaded 1016, and I had the same problem. I have XP home /SP1, so I went to the windows update site, and downloaded EVERYTHING available, which mainly was the .Net framework ,and a few other smaller patches.

I then totally removed Everquest from the drive, deleting everything from the Sony directory on down. Once it was gone, I reinstalled it, then expansion (I only have luclin at the moment) and then I patched everything up.

Before running EQ all the way (I logged in but I didn't select a server, just configured options so I had an eqclient.ini file) I edited the eqclient.ini and set newUI=FALSE.

I then ran the 1016 of MQ, launched eqw 2.3, and ran it. I tested with the fletching.mac available in the macro vault, and another script I made with a loop to basically open and close combiners in my inventory. IT WORKED!!! BWAAHAHAHAAAA!... urrm, sorry, I got emotional.. :)

Now I have an odd little problem after running the loop test (a shortened version of the pizza making loop in the readme.html file, opens and closes pack in inv) for a while... I don't think this is MQ directly, it could be eqw or just something about my system, but I'm having a BSOD if I don't move my mouse for a while. Turns out I had both monitor suspended after 20 min and a screen saver after 5 min. I disabled these, but it didn't help.

Anyway, for my needs, this really won't affect me too bad, since I'm always at the keyboard playing. I rebooted, tested the loop again, and the problem is consitent. I rebooted again, and just played normally for the rest of the night just fine.

I have a friend who fessed up last night that he had this exact same issue on his, and this was how he resolved it. I hope it helps anyone else having the same issue...
