I am getting weird disconnects just out of nowhere when using macro quest. My macro program is on makieng items buying and selling, and the all the sudden a disconnect could this be a GM /kick ing me or would he talk to me first?

try it on another server and see what happens. some servers have more active GMs it seems... I almost never see GMs on my server unless someone petitions something... Usually GMs will check what u are up to by sending a tell and if u dont answer they come to the zone you are in... put a if $gm==TRUE /call crap and the /mqlog GM IN ZONE /endmacro

and when you get disconnected you can check the log if it was due to a gm visit or just a normal disconnect...

you can also check your logs for hello guide soandso here... what are you doing today, or whatever you think they say...

IF you can rule out that its a GM doing this to you, then you have 2 options.

1. the sell or buy functions are bad.
2. You are doing something that makes them bad...

if its number 1 post a step by step to replicate the disconnect.

if its number 2, stop doing that. What I mean here, is that I have noticed that if I sell or buy items too FAST, and there is a server lagspike at the same time, I get booted, this happens VERY seldom, and I have since put a timer in my scripts so it wont do it too fast, the client has some kind of detection for this, as you might have noticed? the merchant says something like -"Slow down Soandso, you are selling to fast" or something to that effect... so I guess thats a warning, and you could even #event it, and slow down if you get it...

Thanks

Thanks so much my delay for buy / sell was 6 i changed it to 15 and i have not been booted since, i did however when i had buy and sell set to delay 1, screw up a merchant and the Gm's had to come and kill him and make him respawn i watched it on my other char i thought it was funny. So yeah i broke a merchant with macroquest not even other people could use it.... hehe
