Status of MQ after Aug 26 2003 patch

Instead of bitching at the devs, how about reading other posts that specifically say that CVS isn't 'up-to-date' immediately.

If you want the immediate fix download the zip file.

If you use the force, the answer will appear before you.

PS: Force == search forum "invalid library format"

Yea, so it takes 24 hours for the CVS to update. Why not wait until then instead of crying about the zip file all the time.

People working on stuff to fix things and everyone here nagging folks to worry about some bloody zip file is just rude. When the devs say they've updated the CVS, give the CVS time to update for you...it's that simple.

I'm not saying that DKAA shouldn't make a zip file for people to download, but I am sooooo weary of people constantly nagging that it be updated or that it doesn't work, or blah blah blah all the time. If it doesn't work, then just wait for the CVS to update, it's pretty darn simple. One more 24 hour period without MQ won't hurt anyone.

Perhaps someone could setup a cron job on some linux computer somewhere that would attempt to get dev cvs version every couple hours and make a zip file from it? It could then upload that zip file and then changes would only have a 1-2 hour lag and no one would have to go and make a .zip file ever again :)

If you guys don't know bash, I can figure out how to deal with the PW using expect (never used it before, but i can prolly figure it out) and write a simple script to do the above. If there is a "Changes" file that you guys actually update, one could do a wget on that and compare it to the previously stored "Changes" file and avoid downloading the entire CVS and zipping it. Using that method, running the cron script every 30-60min wouldn't put much of a load on their cvs servers either.

erm, I don't mean to inturrupt your little tiff here, I've noticed that sendkey down ctrl doesnt seem to be working. If I use mq to pick up one item, no problem, but one item from a stack brings up the Quantity window.

I'm sure you guys know this, but if you don't here it is...

Thanks.

***edit typo to correct command flow...thanks auth

Actually, the command should be sendkey down ctrl... the up / down comes as the second string.. I don't think it's broke in the latest zip, but I may be wrong, I work out of CVS...

Fresh new CVS! Spell data fixed, ground spawns fixed, a few more CTD bugs fixed, $parms fixed to NOT change the $ to @ when a bad parm is encountered (leaves the $ in there) and a few other changes...

DKAA? zipfile? LOL

Done.

Curious · Post by **Curious** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 5:42 am

Really confused here ... just gotta laugh @ some of you :)

I posted a message asking for help regarding compile errors in the CVS files. Okay, it was probably a mistake to mention that the zip file had no compile errors, because it had nothing to do with the question I was asking other than background information.

No, I'm not asking for a zip file. It actually makes sense to me to get rid of it entirely. I personally never had a problem getting information from CVS.

Not sure I understand though ... someone downloads the CVS, makes a zip file and uploads it to the web. At that point, CVS and the zip file would be the same, right? If the zip compiles, and CVS doesn't, then CVS must have been updated again?

Makes sense to me so far ... Valerian DID say he updated CVS. However, CVS gave compile errors ... thus my original post asking for help.

dont_know_at_all finally offered a suggestion: "PS: Force == search forum "invalid library format"" Perhaps a forum 'readme' would be helpful? I searched for "invalid library format" and "igno EQLib" and "unresolved external symbol" and "_DetourEQLIb" and "unresolved externals" and "$click" and still felt it necessary to ask a question.

With all the searches (and variations of those searches) I did, only one post by Amadeus offered a ray of hope:

http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... rmat#19818

It didn't help though ... still got errors

I see there's a "Fresh new CVS!" available ... and hopefully no more errors.

I'm still amazed at how hostile everyone got at me, ranting and raving about zip files when the only thing I said about them was that I wasn't using them any more!

I'm also amazed that out of everyone who responded, there was only one post that mentioned the problem ... and still there was no attempt at offering actual help.

I liked your other post better :

Thank you for finally getting over the zip delima and offering some help, it's really appreciated.

btw ... working on making a Moron's Guide to MQ (from personal experience). Anyone else working on something similar?

Looks like /click left pack $v80 combine does not work.

/click left pack $v80 done does work.

If you guys could take a look at that it would be fantastic. Its very close to working properly.

I also tried an enviro combiner - brewery barrel--- same problem.

Thanks for all the efforts.

I know click is partly broken so I ran in windowed mode usuing EQW and released the mouse, so click works that way for the most part.

Ohh yeah, when I tried to compile the CVS it had errors, but when I waited for the zip to get posted , no errors... so I am not sure about other folks problems with CVS, but I couldn't get it to compile when downloaded directly from CVS.

I used WinCVS and looked for the fix concerning i beleive blank spaces being added to the downloads and tried the fix, but it still didn't work.

I had to modify a routine to find the "Combine" button. "Done" button works fine. I attributed this to the skin I was using. Are you using a skin?

Code: Select all

   |Click the Combine button 
   /mouseto $CombineBag combine
   /mouseto + 20 0
   /click left
   /delay 10

I was using default skin. I beleive at 1024x768. I did notice that it looked like it was hitting the last container slot however. I could use the code you used to make the mouse move down a little.

I'll try that because I am going through and modifying my macros right now to do specific locs which is annoying if I move any of my containers around. Using the code you have would make things much smoother.

Not sure if it is a code problem but my compiled version 8/6/03 worked fine without any tweeking.

After I recompiled I had a problem with it hitting the Done button instead of combine and I reloaded the default skin and then it worked.
