Removed the line from MQ.h and changed DWORD now I cant compile...
Code: Select all
EQLib_MacroParser.cpp
EQLib_MacroParser.cpp(1850) : error C2039: 'DamageAbsorbRemaining' : is not a me
mber of '_SPELLBUFF'
c:\macroquest\EQLib\MQ.h(366) : see declaration of '_SPELLBUFF'
EQLib_MacroParser.cpp(2205) : error C2039: 'DamageAbsorbRemaining' : is not a me

c:\macroquest\EQLib\MQ.h(366) : see declaration of '_SPELLBUFF'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
I replaced the orignal MQ.h and it compiled fine...

get a COMPLETE, FRESH download of all the files from the CVS ...make the change I suggested, and then compile.
It looks like you have a new version of one file but an old version of another file to me.

Just did a "from scratch" CVS less than 2 hours ago...?
What would make it look like I got an old file?
Hows this look?
Directly from my MQ.h
Code: Select all
// 6-11-2003 Amadeus
typedef struct _SPELLBUFF {
/*0x00*/ BYTE Unknown0x00;
/*0x01*/ BYTE Level;
/*0x02*/ WORD Unknown0x02;
/*0x04*/ DWORD SpellID;
/*0x08*/ DWORD Duration;
/*0x0c*/ DWORD DamageAbsorbRemaining; // Melee or Spellshield type
} SPELLBUFF, *PSPELLBUFF;
// 5-15-2003 eqmule

That is correct now. ...and you're getting the error messages that you posted before still?
Try a 'make clean' or 'clean your solution' ...depending on whatever type of compiler you're using. Perhaps you have an old cached header somewhere.

Plain default install of Visual Studio .NET Architect if it helps any.

Ok -
First thanks to Amadeus for the quick replies that got me in the right direction.
I totally cleared away my CVS - got a new CVS - edited MQ.h as shown above - recompiled - no errors
I think the problem occoured when I tried to compile the first time and got an error because of PATHs being wrong. I kept hammering at the nmake while running vsvars32.bat in all kindsa of diffrent directories.
So for anyone reading thread up to this point...
1. CVS
2. Edit MQ.h as listed above
3. run vsvars32.bat from where Visual Studio is installed (for me was Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools)
3. nmake from c:\macroquest\EQlib
That should get you there 8)

At the moment $char(buff,1) if there's no 1st buff is crashing to desktop with a nice memory read error. I've put in Plazmic's fixes, as well as the structure fix Amadeus posted. using latest CVS(w/ above changes) . Fryfrog is having same problem

I think the syntax is $char(buff,"<spell name>"), at least from what I have seen in other posts.

there are, in theory, supposed to be two things you can do though.( buff,"buff name") and also (buff,buffslot). The second isn't working

From the Manual:
$char(buff,xxx) returns the buff slot for a spell name, or 0 if the buff isn't up
$char(buff,#[,xxx]) returns information on a buff slot, or NULL if the slot is empty
If xxx is omitted, the spell name is returned, otherwise, xxx can be: spellid, level, duration (in ticks remaining)
Now, my own experience with this weirdness...
Friend of mine and I were botting one of my characters and one of his through another of his characters. We decided to set up the scripts so that they'd automatically request buffs from eachother when they wore off, so on his computer we issued the command, "/echo $char(buff,"Clarity")". This worked fine, and returned the slot it was in (3 at the time). So we tried, on his computer, "/echo $char(buff,3,duration)" -- which also worked fine.
Now on the computer I was using (at his house), we tried the same with Alacrity. "/echo $char(buff,"Alacrity")". This caused a crash to desktop. On his computer, we gave his character Alacrity (thinking that maybe it was some sort of buff-specific problem), but it worked just fine. Tried the same on my comp with Clarity, but it crashed as well.
We were using the EXACT same copy of MQ (I mean, Exact, our comps were networked and I was running MQ through the network drive), and our EQs were identical versions as well.
So... Figure that out.

(buff,buffslot).
There was a thread about this a while back..it's going to be broken for the forseeable future.

BlueSkies, If I understand your problem correctly, one workaround you can use is to create an event that triggers off the buff wearing off, example "Your feet slow down" etc, and then asks the other character to cast it on you, who does /target soandso and /cast "Spell Name"

What would $char(buff,#[,xxx]) be used for? I can't think of a use for it in the game.
I use $char(buff,xxx) to detect when a buff is missing to cast the buff again.

Kaz -- Good workaround, though it's not as elegant a solution as we would have wanted in our setup.
Thanks though :) I appreciate the assistance.
