State of Macroquest, READ THIS FIRST

Post by rizwank » Thu Jan 09, 2003 10:17 pm

Macroquest is Broken.

So is Everquest as the 2 patches today would indicate.

Plazmic is the man with the plan, whom we call Stan. Give him till the weekend before you flame.

First and foremost, if you like MQ and miss it, DONATE.
AFAIK Plaz plays a lot less EQ now and is supporting MQ because of its userbase.

Now,
You can still run EQ in the OldUI under Windows XP:
ntsd -G -c "eb 0055b48e 0;g" c:\path\to\eqgame.exe patchme
[01/09/2003 exe]

In the old UI, MQ told EQ a click was done at x,y and that was it.
In the new UI, MQ will (read, by Sunday... work is hell right now) completely bypass clicks...
So instead of "I clicked pack 2 open, then click slot 1" it will be "I picked up the item in pack 2 slot 1 to the cursor"

So please dont stink up the boards with "is it fixed yet", cause ill be in a bad mood and do mean things. Everyone that is compentent enough to is working on it. This isnt something that can be fixed by just offsets, so dont ask for them.

BTW, Donate to Plaz. Its a good thing.

Even if we cant get /click to work on the new UI, I have been using the new UI without /click for sometime and I am happy with what I was able to do. So.. devs... if you can get MQ up without /click fairly fast, do it. /click can come later. :)

And thanks!

Not trying to be a nuisance, just trying to understand and see how far along you guys are...

So in the new UI, you'll be able to get items on the cursor without even opening packs?

Is it still looking like you'll be done on sunday?

thanks for all you guys do :) what would EQ be like without MQ...

That's not what he said.. What I got from it was that hopefully with the new UI they'll be able to tell it to just pick up the item instead of actually having to break it down and say "one click here at x, y, one click there at x, y" The bag will still have to be opened of course, but would probably simplify things with the coding.. Course, what do I know, I'm just a.....
