MacroQuest64

Would you like to have a tracker based on Macroquest ?

-Show a map of the current zone
-Or display another zone
-Zoom in/out
-Map could move to follow your loc when you move or not
-Height/Deep map lines and spawn filter
-Show your loc, players locs, spawns loc and their directions
-To filter green mobs, unic spawns, players...
-To trace a line between your current target and you
-To trace a line between you and a mob you clicked on the map
-To make your char face a direction you clicked on the map
-To create paths on a map your char could follow if you're in autorun
-It would work using sockets: MQ would become the server and the tracker window program would become the client.
-The graphic client would be written using openGL (smoother than mySEQ)
-It would work in windows on your machine or a machine of your local area network
-You could run multiple instances of the tracker.
-It would have some bugs because I would code it alone for the moment
-The sources would be open source of course, but sometimes hard to understand (because I don't have so much spare time to explain everything i code)
-It wouldn't make EQ/MQ lag (unless you're already lagging)
-More...

Let me know what you think ?


Edit:
1) My development platform is a mess right now, I am currently fixing it, so don't expect the 'alpha' program to be released tomorrow.
2) I am a married man and i am working, so don't expect me to provide too much help, or to correct bugs too fast.
3) I would provide my sources 'as is', if your microwave oven explodes due to the use of the tracker, don't come flame me =P

I would have a use for this if it put the spawns on the in game map. Otherwise I think I'd stick with showeq.

Thanks

from all the features, that is the one I would like to see most (if my understanding is correct), I can easily write a command called /followpath <inifile here> or whatever, but having it follow paths on a map, would be more cool. Click on a point and char goes there? Let me know if you need any help with changing any of the MQ code for the interaction.

Mmmm, combining SEQ with MQ, clicking on SEQ causes your character to move there in EQ, and allowing a queue or pre-written paths to be input. Right click on a SEQ spawn click the “fight” option to turn on your fight scripts…

Now, if I could only program my way out of a paper bag
