Post by rizwank » Thu Nov 07, 2002 2:59 am

Do we have any features youd like to see? I know the buff data would be nice $buff etc ... what else would you long for?

The only thing I would like to see added to MQ would be next to impossible so I am 99.9% happy with it. The last .1% I would like to see it do its own offset hunting but i know thats just a dream so good work...

how about theese

$char(attitude)==0 Sat down
==1 walking
==2 running


and a few of events

#spawn despwan -- fires when a mob despawns
$p0==id

#spawn spawn -- fires when a mob spawns
$p0==id

#spawn die -- fires when a mob dies
$p0==id


and maybe a special loop so we could do

for each $spawn in $spawnlist
<commands>
next

Fippy, PERFECT (on the girl). Thanks.

nikeman, ive been toying with the idea of having a command/macro that would be like this...

/facezone [number]

/facezone would return a list of the zone outs for the current zone with a corresponding number. Doing /facezone 0 would face you to ... say... the Skyfire zone in OT.

For this to happen i need proper coordinates. Accurate to within 10 feet and XYZ coords. Ill code it if someone gives me the data... eqmaps has a partial list but no Z coords, etc.

If you wanna start collecting, I'd be quite happy.


Madman, that idea has been toyed with, but we dont want MQ to be that smart and independent. Offsets are being released before the servers even go live now, so the onus is off of the devs to find em, so I dont see that happening :)


Fippy, excellent ideas.

Id add "Standing" "Crouching" "Looting" (actually $corpse would do that too) "Horse Standing" "Horse Moving" ....
Those events are quite useful... not sure if you just wanna log everything that goes on in a zone though ... thats kinda disturbing.. but cool! :)

A way to put the /who results into a variable.

Sending Text

Post by aGuy » Fri Nov 08, 2002 12:39 pm

I would like to see a built in feature that would all me to send text to another EQ player running MQ that does not use EQ chat servers. May be a /private <player_name>. Or /chat private <player_name>

I would not be apposed to even having this text in a sperate chat window or at leaset the option to place the private chat in another window.

This would come in handy when using bot.mac type applicataions. Or just speaking to a friend running MQ that I do not want a GM to snoop my chat window.

From what I been told this can be done easily in perl. There should be a way to set the port # used in the macroquest.ini file.

Edited:

Thinking about this some more. I realize that for this to work, there would need to be a way to specify the IP address of each player you wanted to send a message to. It might also be a good idea to password protect this. This way, someone would need to know your IP address and the password to send you a message. This would have to be setup ahead of time because you would not want to send your IP address and password over the EQ chat servers.

It would be helpful to have a sperate file that would hold a list of player names and IP address. I would also like to be able to modify this list using a MQ commands.

If I think of anything more I will add it.

rizwank: for the /facezone [number]

Have you looked at the eqemu DB table zone_points Not complete, but a good start. Ethernalquest uses some sort of zone(out) number, not sure where they pull that from though.

verbose

Post by Landslide » Sat Nov 16, 2002 4:04 pm

I would like to see a way to turn off output to the textbox without having to recompile MQ.

For example, I have issue that I'm using /target to simply check if something is right next to me - in a loop. If there's nothing near me it spams "There are no " around here" over and over.

Perhaps a "/verbose on|off" command?


Forgive me if there is a way to do this already, but I couldn't find it after 15 minutes of looking.

Thanks!

I'd list to see stats and encumberance added to the $char() variable. Was messing with a macro to hand in bone chips in Kaladim, and managed to knock my agility down to 1 by becoming too encumbered (had to drop a bunch of stuff to be able to move across the room and seell the loot). If I could check my encumberance I could go sell stuff before I get to burdened to move. This would also help with hunter macros that loot heavy stuff.

What I'd like to have added is an addition to the /FACE command
ie /FACE heading N/S/E/W/NE/NW/SE/SW rather than the 360 degree circle idea that's currently available.

I know /face heading 0 is North, and 180 is South etc., but it's just easier and quicker to think in NSEW.

I know I could make an alias /fn /face heading 0 but my alias list is big enough as it is.

Id like a /raidlist command that lists out the names of ppl in the raid im in !

If anyone has any idea about the memory location of the raid structures, I'll have a play around and see if i can do this myself.
