MacroQuest64

After downloading and compiling MQ2 I tried to run it and havent had much luck. I dont have a MQ chat window, and when I tried to switch MQ messages to the default window it didnt work. Also mapshow wasnt working, but Im sure MQ was running because the names of pet owners were visable. Im using the default EQ ui. I've included the content of my macroquest.ini file, and help would be appreciated, thanks.

try recompiling first

Other that loading the plugin, this ini file does nothing for the plugin, it has its own.

what does it say when

/plugin mq2chatwnd

and

/plugin mq2chat

?

I tried recompiling aswell as downloading the source again and compiling. Still have the same problem. I get no message at all when using either of those commands.

Try again, this time following instructions.

could be that the window is set for coordinates that are off the screen

Ok, to fix that, format and start over.

Try setting EQ to a higher Resolution and you might find the box offscreen and can then move it, just a thought.

I dunno, I gotta agree with the format and start over suggestion.

Always the best course of action.

It happens to me once in a while. Doing something that makes MQ display something in the window will make it appear (e.g. super who). Never bothered me enough to try and track it down, though.

To fix, you have to buy a new PC

what does it say when

/plugin mq2chatwnd

and

/plugin mq2chat

?

I'm sure it says something a lot like "Hi, I'm a friendly error message, but you can't see me because THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GUY'S POST WAS THAT MQ2Chat and MQ2ChatWnd DON'T WORK!!!!11!"

i had this problem before also. no flame here, just how i fixed it.

/plugin mq2chat unload

/plugin mq2chatwnd

fixed it for me, as it can only have one of those loaded at one time it seems. after you enter the second line, try /plugin list to force the window to show itself.

if this don't work, i'm outta suggestions, sorry.

ROFL Crazy!
