I was curious if anyone out there was working on converting anything from MQ2->ISXEQ. The time I have is limited, but I was hoping to work on converting some scripts over and post them here. One of the big ones keeping me from going full ISXEQ over MQ2 is Genbot. I don't have the developed logical programming knowledge to be able to convert it all by myself without it being seriously flawed.

I could help with little parts stuff here and there to support anyone who might be working on converting anything. So if you are working on stuff and would like some help with minor parts/functions/routines or whatever I am available. I would love to see the forums for ISXEQ come alive.

I am currently working on making/converting a shaman bot for ISEQ. After that I plan on converting/making a cleric bot which will be one computer worth of chars. Then I will go from there. In and around that I will be working on various scripts for tradeskills and what not. I have yet to play around with genbot or advbot so I would be more than willing to help if you want to through up or pm what you have. You may even get me to use that instead.
Good luck :)

Well the development process will be really slow for sure. The time between work and EQ enjoyment I would have to invest in these is very little. But I AM wanting to try to convert some of these.

My plans are to try and get stuff started, and hope the community will add bits and pieces to mash together and get something working.

To tell you the truth, Genbot is (and advbot might be too, but i dont know as much about that) archaic (I'm not saying that it doesnt work, just that it is archaic). It was originally built before the MQ2Data system, which is essentially the predecessor to LavishScript, and Blech. Then it was simply converted, using the older routines, to the new system. While that may not sound so bad in itself, it really is. Most routines can be shortened or redone in a much more efficient way. Additionally, the IS navigation system makes features of advpath and such obsolete.

Starting from scratch and having people add to it is probably the better way to go anyway, imho.

Start from scratch sounds like a good idea then. As I posted before, I'm no master of logic. With that in mind, could you help me get started by naming a few functions/events or what not that would be a good starting point to code? I've been thinking about it the past couple days, and it seems that it would be a good idea to do something similar to wowbot, and have different routines depending on the class.

But in any case, could you (or anyone else) help me out with a good starting point for functions? I would love to get the ball rolling on this.

I'm interested (and have been for a while) in converting most of my scripts and others' that I use, but just haven't looked into it much. I'm mostly interested in the fact that you can have more than one running at a time, unlike macros.

I'd say the only thing stoppin me is that I don't know enough (or haven't seen enough examples) to fully convert somethings, and I'm not even sure about running them. I'm sure it's posted somwhere (which I'll check afterI post this), but I'm not even sure if ISXEQ scripts are ran like macros or compiled

If LavishScript scripts were any closer to MQ2 Macros, the universe would explode. http://www.lavishsoft.com/wiki/index.php/LavishScript

Theyre pretty much the same thing, except that LavishScript is optimized, allows multiple scripts at the same time, etc. MQ2 Macros arent really "macros" anyway, they are more accurately called scripts too.
