JGC84 · Post by **JGC84** » Sat Nov 29, 2003 2:57 am

Alright, i know its prob going to be somthing stupid... but here goes... i got MQ2 up and running, but it doesnt do anything.. the macro option doesnt even show up on my /filter list... i know that its working with EQ because i closed it while EQ was running and it crashed EQ.. somthing i'm doing wrong? somthing i need to set in the ini file maybe?

i also did: /plugin mq2chat
/plugin mq2chatwnd unload

and still nothing

i would be greatful for any help, or a link to a post i didnt find in my search w/ helpful info and a good flaming for being stupid.

you're stupid ha ha ha. ok I dont know what the problem is, but it sounds like something related to something fixed the other day. Are you using version 20031128a? If not, download and install

JGC84 · Post by **JGC84** » Sat Nov 29, 2003 11:43 am

just checked the version... yes its 20031128a

its really prob.ly somthing i'm just over looking... do you have to set anything in the inifile to make it go? the paths still read jsut .\macro .\logs, or so that correct?

That's all correct.

Make sure you have a macros folder, so it can find things to work with.

its all there, and even if i didnt have any macros, i should still get macros to show up on /filter list.. which i'm not getting

Then I honestly have no idea.

Gonna have to shoot it to the devs, I think.

lax figured it out for me, its dkaa's fault.. had to remove the prelinking... you can figure it out from there.

Of course, it's always my fault.

I accept full responsibility.

im having a similar problem to JGC84's posts. i have everything compiled correctly, using 20031128a, but have the same problems. (I'm running on windows ME as well (if that matters) and have ActivePerl installed.) been using the post on getting started from EQMule00. i have NOT dl'ed/installed any version of CVS, so not sure if thats my problem. I read in a post from Lax to just use the winzip file, using MQ2. JGC84 says that Lax figured out the problem and had to remove the prelinking. how is that done?
I'm somewhat of a noob myself to this, so please bare with me.. Been searching around these forums for the past 3 hours trying to find answers and the search option is beginning to irritate me. I've tried this in using both EQW AND normal EQ, both with the same results... nil. EQW version i'm running is 2.35a (most recent). Which brings me up to another question.. if EQW is compatable (100%) with MQ, should i highlight the "fix eqclient.ini" or uncheck it? just asking due to the possibility of conflicting with MQ.
I compiled MQ using VC++ 6. Zero errors. have the MQ icon in my task bar.. yet i still get nothing after "/filter macros all" then "/help macro".
I HAVE, however, been able to target someone and /macro follow.mac on them sucessfully.... this was both on EQW and normal EQ.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

i am having the exact same problem as Messatsu, only difference is im on winxp. i can use follow.mac and successfuly follow someone around, but /filter macros all and /help macro return no results. sorry for being such a newb

Neither of you followed the compile steps completely. You therefore forfeit your priveledge of free support for lack of reading the information you needed to read before compiling, and I'll be changing your user ranks now. also, the latest download is from december.

yes. yes. read the manual. I was having the same problem, then almost kicked myself for missing the obvious.

Nice rankings btw lax. Remind me not to get on your bad side

quit being a wiener, i read the manual and i do not understand what it is that i am missing. only thing i can think of is the byte allignment but i cant seem to find how to change that.

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Sat Dec 06, 2003 4:37 pm

#1 if you read anything about byte alignment you're looking at the wrong instructions.
#2 the compile instructions are on the link shown at the download page, FOLLOW THOSE and you might deserve respect
#3 dont call me a wiener if you cant read big bold red letters and the note next to the download link that says if you do not read this you forfeit support
