Description
MQ2Naviigation is a plugin that allows you to navigate through zones in EQ using a mesh layer that is created of the actual zone. The plugin automatically figures out the best way to get to the location or target based upon mesh files that you have created or downloaded. The mesh files are available to download under the files section on mmobugs, or you can create your own zone files by loading MeshGenerator.exe and selecting the zones you wish to create.
The first time you navigate in a zone, it will load the mesh, and will lag your client for a few seconds depending on how fast your computer is.
If you are having issues making the plugin work make sure you install DirectX End-User Runtime.

/if (${Navigation.Active}) /delay 5
/if (${Navigation.MeshLoaded}) /nav id ${Target.ID}
/if (${Navigation.PathExists[id ${NearestSpawn[2,npc noalert 1 targetable radius 100 zradius 20].ID}]}) /nav id ${NearestSpawn[2,npc noalert 1 targetable radius 100 zradius 20].ID}
/echo PathLength is: ${Int[${Navigation.PathLength[id ${NearestSpawn[3,npc noalert 1 targetable radius 100 zradius 20].ID}]}]}
