20040429c

Code: Select all

29 Apr 2004 by Lax (even more):
- Added option so that MQ2Data errors and normal errors (but not syntax errors that show
  /usage etc) will dump the macro stack.  This is ON by default.  To turn it off, set
  AllErrorsDumpStack=0 in MAcroQuest.ini section [MacroQuest]
- Added option so that the above errors will end the macro, aka makes them "fatal".  This is
  OFF by default. To set this, set AllErrorsFatal=1 in MacroQuest.ini section [MacroQuest]
- If for some reason you need to clear all GLOBAL SCOPE variables,
  /deletevar * global
  will do the trick.  For example, after you try to run an old macro and then realize the
  global scope changed and /zapvars no longer exists, but you can't make the variables outer
  scope because theyre already in global scope and you dont want to delete them all one by
  one....
- Perfected Multi-dimensional arrays

02 May 2004 by Lax:
- Added a popup box to the crash detected hook, explaining that the user should visit the
  MQ2::Bug Reports forum.
- Removed EasyDetour and EasyClassDetour.  There is a single replacement for the both of them
  called EzDetour.  EzDetour(offset,detour,trampoline).  Examples (which are all over in MQ2Main
  and plugins):
  EzDetour(ProcessGameEvents,Detour_ProcessGameEvents,Trampoline_ProcessGameEvents);
  EzDetour(CEverQuest__EnterZone,CEverQuestHook::EnterZone_Detour,CEverQuestHook::EnterZone_Trampoline);
- Renamed the REVERSE_DETOUR functions to reduce confusion.  These really had nothing to do
  with detours.  What it really does is lets you call a function at a given offset.  
  So, they are now:
  FUNCTION_AT_ADDRESS(function,offset)
  FUNCTION_AT_VARIABLE_ADDRESS(function,variable)
  FUNCTION_AT_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS(function,offset)
- Fixed small issue in MQ2Data parser
- Fixed /memspell not finding some spells correctly (Heroic Bond for example)
- MQ2 will now fix the string table by removing extraneous spaces from the end of strings,
  since EQ isnt smart enough to do it itself.  This fixes issues such as finding the AA
  "Bestial Alignment", which has two spaces after it in eqstr_us.txt.  
  ${AltAbility[Bestial Alignment]} previously did not work because of this issue.  It works
  now because of this fix.
- Added MQ2Data types
  raid, raidmember   (see reference for members)
- Added MQ2Data Top-Level Objects
  raid Raid: Raid you're in...
- Added/changed MQ2Data members
  string ticks.Time: Time in the form hh:mm:ss (if there are no hours, the form will be mm:ss)
  int skill.MinLevel: Minimum level for your class
  int skill.StartingSkill: Base skill level for your class
  int skill.SkillCapPre50: Skill cap pre-50 for your class
  int skill.SkillCapPost50: Skill cap post-50 for your class
  int character.FreeInventory: Count of free inventory spaces
  int character.FreeInventory[n]: Count of free inventory spaces of at least this size (giant=4)
  int character.LargestFreeInventory: Size of largest free inventory space
- LaxColor is now defaulted to off since most people now realize that it exists.  If you wish
  to turn it back on, LaxColor=1 in MacroQuest.ini.
- Fixed spawn.NearestSpawn issues
- Fixed ${Ini} absolute path issues
- Fixed some other issues that were brought up on the boards

30 Apr 2004 by Lax:
- Added MQ2Data members
  int macro.Params: Number of parameters to current sub

05 Max 2004 by Lax:
- Updated for patch and added README.CHM.  Keep an eye out, we should have the manual
  available in more formats (including printable) soon

04 May 2004 by Lax:
- New command
  Usage: /hud <normal|underui|always>
  * "Normal" will make the HUD display as it would normally on top of UI, not at char select
     or in "f10 mode"
  * "UnderUI" will make the HUD display as it would normally except UNDER the UI, and not at
     char select or in "f10 mode"
  * "Always" will make the HUD display under the UI, at char select, and in "f10 mode"
- New Plugin MQ2HUD.  Edit MQ2HUD.INI to add custom elements to your HUD.  You pick the spot
  on the screen, the color, and what gets displayed.  Every element gets parsed for MQ2Data
  each time it is displayed.
  Example MQ2HUD.INI:
    [Elements]
		TargetInfo=3,5,35,255,255,255,${Target}
		GMIndicator=3,5,45,0,0,255,${Spawn[gm]}
		CursorItemName=7,-15,-15,255,255,255,${If[${Cursor.ID},${Cursor},]}
		ClickMeForFun=6,-25,-25,255,255,255,${If[!${Cursor.ID},click me,]}
  The order is TYPE,X,Y,RED,GREEN,BLUE,TEXT.
  Type is currently any combination of the following:
    1 - Display in non-full screen mode
    2 - Display in full screen mode ("f10 mode")
    4 - X,Y is based on cursor location
  e.g. 1+2+4=7.  7 means all 3 of the above. 6 means 2 and 4. 3 means 1 and 2. Just add them
    together.  There is no way to end up with a number that could mean two different 
     combinations.
  Red, Green and Blue are each from 0 to 255. 255,255,255 is white, 0,0,0 is black.
  ** There is currently not a command to add or remove these from inside the game.  One will
     probably be added soon.  The plugin will automatically re-load the list from the .ini
     when you modify and save the .ini.
- Seeing as how the mouse functions perfectly fine in full screen mode, I've forced the cursor
  to display the same as it would in UI-visible mode.  The only difference is the item is not
  displayed on your cursor.  With MQ2HUD and the "CursorItemName" example, you could have it
  show the name of the item attached to your cursor in full screen mode (use type 6 if you
  want it to follow your cursor in full screen mode only).
- Added custom spawn captioning.  Set them in MacroQuest.ini [Captions].  Empty the setting 
  to make it use EQ's default.  By default our player caption is slightly different -  
  it shows their guild status if they are officer or leader of a guild.  Pet captions are a
  little different also - it will display the name of its master if it is a player's pet.
  Use "\n" to mean a new line when setting captions.
- Added MQ2Data Top-Level Object:
  spawn NamingSpawn: Spawn currently being captioned.  NULL when not captioning.
- Added/changed MQ2Data members:
  bool spawn.LFG: LFG?
  bool spawn.Linkdead: Linkdead?
  bool spawn.Trader: Trader?
  bool spawn.AFK: AFK?
  string spawn.AATitle: Actual AA title (e.g. Sage, Impresario, etc)
- MQ2Map adds Top-Level Object: spawn MapSpawn: If your cursor is on a spawn on the map, this is it
- Fixed ticks.Time

YES YOU ASSHOLES IN PST AND WESTERLY, IT IS STILL THE FIFTH THERE. IF YOU POST "I DOWNLOADED THIS ZIP ON THE 5TH BUT IT SAYS THE 6TH" I WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND BEAT YOU.

Code: Select all

05 May 2004 by Lax (even more):
- Plenty of positive feedback on the custom spawn captioning.  Plenty also asking why shownames
  was not working properly.  There are now 4 levels of captions for Players, according to the
  shownames level, to solve this issue.  Therefore the ini options are now Player1, Player2, 
  Player3, Player4 rather than just Player.  Also, the guild status indicator now 
  capitalizes Leader and Officer, and added a "LDR" tag to your group leader.
- Added /caption command to set the custom captions from in-game.
  Usage: /caption <list|type <value>>
  To clear the specific setting, just do /caption <type> like so:
  /caption player1
- DKAA fixed the bzsrch problems
- Added MQ2Data member:
  bool spawn.GroupLeader: Is this your group's leader?
- Fixed CHARINFO struct.  Some Stuff appeared slightly wrong, like leadership exp and bank
  stuff.

MQ2-20040509

Code: Select all

09 May 2004 by Lax:
- Removed remnants of MQ2Parms system.  Rest in peace.  Phase 4.
- Cleaned up a lot of old code that was being kept in comments
- Removed mount captions, they just crash the client
- Added optional parameter to /delay.
  Usage: /delay <time> [condition to end early]
  This lets you use a delay that has a possibility to end early.  For example...
  /keypress forward hold
  /delay 1s ${Spawn[1234].Distance}<${Spawn[1234].MaxMeleeTo}
  /keypress forward
- New command /noparse
  Usage: /noparse <command>
  Prevents a command from being parsed for MQ2Data.  For example..
  /noparse /ini blah blah blah ${stuff}
  Will actually write the ${stuff} literally instead of changing it to the current value
  of stuff.
- Added/changed MQ2Data members:
  int macroquest.MouseX: Mouse's x location
  int macroquest.MouseY: Mouse's y location
  string ticks.Time: Time in the form mm:ss
  string ticks.TimeHMS: Time in the form hh:mm:ss (if there are no hours, the form will be mm:ss)
  int character.CountBuffs: Total number of buffs (not including short duration buffs)

07 May 2004 by Lax:
- Added "Lax/Blech" support to custom events.  The Blech system allows much easier parsing of
  incoming chat.  Custom events will now support more parameters that are automatically
  parsed based on the match text.
- Fixed up EQ's handling of spawn captions (name above their head). Only the nearest 35 spawn
  captions will be updated by default (and even then, only those close enough that you'd see 
  their name).  EQ itself constantly updates the name of every spawn in the zone, even though 
  only a small portion of those are displayed.
- Added an option to /caption command
  Usage: /caption <list|type <value>|update #>
  "/caption update #" will set the number of nearest spawns for MQ2 to update the name of
  each pass.  By default, this is 35.  If you have performance issues after this update,
  please post about it on the forums.  Find a happy update number and let us know.
- Added marked NPC and assist target leadership stuff to default captions, also put guilds on
  the line below the name.  The defaults should mostly look like EQ's now.
- Fixed macro.Params
- Fixed invslot names
- Added/Changed MQ2Data Members:
	spawn character.TargetOfTarget: Target of target   (moved to character type)
	bool spawn.Assist: Current Raid or Group assist target?
	int spawn.Mark: Current Raid or Group marked npc mark number (raid first)
	spawn character.RaidAssistTarget[n]: Current raid assist target (1-3)
	spawn character.GroupAssistTarget: Current group assist target
	spawn character.RaidMarkNPC[n]: Current raid marked NPC (1-3)
	spawn character.GroupMarkNPC[n]: Current group marked NPC (1-3)

10 May 2004 by Lax:
- Fixed problem relating to false negatives determining if a spawn is a TRIGGER (e.g. flavor
  text, trap, etc).  This solves crash issues in the latest zip with the custom caption
  system.  This also solves non-crash issues identifying "invisible spawns" in spawn searches,
  as well as spawns that were previously identified as NPCs in MQ2Map.

11 May 2004 by Lax:
- Added nifty changes.txt reader to character select screen.  Now you have no excuse!
- Fixed problem with events mysteriously having parameters disappear
- Updated Blech to fix a bug with some #events disappearing (and not firing)
- Your target's caption will now always be drawn
- Added LDoN Recruiters and Merchants to the list of full class names.
- Added /captioncolor command, which allows a lot of custom spawn caption coloring.  For example,
  the caption of marked NPCs or assist NPCs can be a specific color.. the caption of bankers and
  merchants can be a set color.  NPCs can be done by con color.  All spawns can be done by
  CLASS color (using the raid settings).  Note that you can only set the raid class colors right
  now through the raid options window.  You can open this window by typing
  /windowstate raidoptionswindow show
  Usage: /captioncolor <list|<name off|on|#>>
  Examples:
  /captioncolor list
  /captioncolor pcclass on
  /captioncolor pctrader on
  /captioncolor pctrader 255 128 0
- Changed /windowstate command to use the window mapping used by ${Window[name]}, /windows, etc.
- Fixed issues with "charm" and the invslot type
- raidmember MQ2Data type now inherits "spawn" (when they are in zone)
- Added/changed MQ2Data members:
  class raidmember.Class: Raid member's class (works without being in zone)
  int raidmember.Level: Raid member's level (works without being in zone)
  int item.WornSlots: The number of invslots this item can be worn in (fingers/ears count as 2 slots)
  invslot item.WornSlot[n]: The nth invslot this item can be worn in (fingers/ears count as 2 slots)
  bool item.WornSlot[name]: Can item be worn in invslot with this name? (worn slots only..)
