MQ2 for test server updated. I'm sorry about the delay, I had a few issues with it crashing that had to be resolved.

MQ2 for test server updated. I'm sorry about the delay, I had a few issues with it crashing that had to be resolved.

Looks like it's random if it works or not...most of the time it doesn't. Considering MQ2 for test server down as it's too flaky.

 

[htw]

Updated.

htw

 

[stoner420]

MQ2Bot

Not sure if its just me or not but when i start MQ2Bot none of my casters will cast spells just says spell not memorized...

 

[Meniousds]

I can confirm the same thing happening as stoner420. When mq2bot or a downshit from mq2melee calls for a spell to be cast the char will mem the spell but then will spam "spell not memorized"

 

[Fry]

There was some changes to /cast in core about casting the highest rank which I'm guessing is causing this problem. Htw was looking at it yesterday but hasn't published a fix yet. I'll look into reverting the change for the time being to see if that helps.

 

[stoner420]

Thx fry

 

[Fry]

New release out which should fix the casting problem.

 

[lookin]

test patched today new exe

 per everquest forums
Test is being updated today with our current Live build. There are no new patch notes at this time. Everything should match Live

[gnafnow113]

Patched yesterday. Its alot of shit.

    September 12, 2017
    _____________________


    *** Highlights ***

    - Added the Find Item Window which allows you to search your inventory. See UI section for detail.


    *** Items ***

    - Stats granted by food and drink will now obey required and recommended levels.
    - Modified the focus effects on all versions of Brell's Shawl items and augments so that their benefits will no longer be activated by triggered spells.
    - - Ex: Previously, casting Unity of the Doomscale would attempt to trigger Brell's Sacred Soothing Wave 5 times, now it will only attempt to trigger once.
    - The kick skill damage modifier has been added to appropriate bard usable items.
    - The Relife Adornment augment usable by Warriors, Rangers, and Beastlords can now be used by Bards. The Relife Adornment augment currently usable by Bards can now be converted to the version with the kick skill damage modifier.
    - Bards can now use Struck Quartzite augments.
    - Corrected an issue that allowed the teleport spells on Zueria Slide to be cast without standing or while moving.
    - Corrected an issue that prevented the recast timer on Gyrospire Relocation Device from being set as expected.
    - Nimbuses that had "aura" in the name have had their names changed, since "aura" has another meaning.
    - The Bridle of the Ursus Antonicus can no longer be used indoors.
    - Reverted the names and icons of the items used to create the Hand of Glory.
    - Horse Bridles that can be sold back to Galic Amondson in The Bazaar will now have description text indicating this fact:
    - - Creatures that previously dropped Silken Bridles will now instead drop Ornate Silken Bridles.
    - - Ornate Silken Bridles are equivalent to Silken Bridles with the exception that they cannot be sold back to Galic Amondson, are lore, and cannot be used in Roboboar, Worg, or Ornate Barding combines.


    *** Quests And Events ***

    - Hunter of The Plane of Valor - The rare creature previously named 'a Lumbering Beast' is now named 'an Ungainly Beast' to better differentiate it from the non-rare creatures that were also named 'a Lumbering Beast'.
    - Queen Velazul Di`zok (Raid) - Modified the Queen event so that the warcasters once again cast Enveloping Smoke all at the same time. They now cast Electric Blast at staggered intervals.
    - Kor-Sha Laboratory (Raid) - Fixed an issue that would cause Aura of Kor-Sha to be applied (but resisted) every minute for players who had completed the Essence of the Dragon II achievement.
    - Access to Asylum of Anguish - A Shrewd Dragorn no longer has a placeholder and is now guaranteed to spawn (in new locations) in all versions of the Dranik's Hollows instances. He now carries six signets but will not respawn in the same instance.
    - The Summoning of Droga (Raid & Mission) - Droga will no longer count down towards consuming one of his priests unless there are priests up. It should make it easier and more reliable to get the No Priests for You achievement.
    - Celestial Fists (Quest) - Gwan should more reliably leave a corpse when slain.
    - The Rescue (Quest) - Hailing Agilica will now properly cause the two Darkvine guard NPCs to spawn.
    - Lost Dungeons of Norrath hostages will no longer warp to the person they're following if the leader gets too far away. They will instead stop moving and wait for their leader to get closer.


    *** Spells ***

    - Berserker - Corrected an issue that prevented several abilities (the Volley line and Dichotomic Rage) from properly checking for the reagent they were flagged to require.
    - Paladin - Increased the cost of Harmonious Blessing and reduced the number of counters to 40. Reduced the hate added by Harmonious Illumination. Reduced the heal granted by Harmonious Light.
    - Ranger - Reduced the amount of ATK added by Strength of Tunare to 60 to account for the innate amount of ATK that is granted by AA at level 62.
    - Shadowknight - Increased the cost of Harmonious Disruption and reduced the number of counters to 40. Reduced the damage dealt by Precise Disruption. Reduced the range and healing amount of Disruptive Recourse. Reduced the hate added by Precise Disruption and Expansive Distraction.
    - Warrior - Converted Flash of Anger so that it no longer has to buff you with a second 'Flash of Anger Effect' spell. Because two-handed stance negates the parry buff from this ability, you are now prevented from activating Flash of Anger while you are in that stance.
    - Warrior - Increased the cost of Harmonious Expanse. Reduced the number of counters on Harmonious Expanse Effect to 40. Greatly reduced the hate added by Expansive Disharmony.
    - Warrior - Wade In to Battle will now fade after triggering 24 shouts, and the shouts will now incite less hatred in your foes.
    - Illusion Benefit buffs now persist through death.

    - Bard - Rallying Call now consumes 75% of the mana and endurance restored by this ability, the reuse time for this ability has been increased to 10 minutes, and the target requirements have been adjusted so that melee classes must be below 30% endurance and classes that use mana must be below 30% mana rather than any class being below 30% of either.

    - Magician - Consolidated Virulent Talon to be ranks 23, 29-32, and 38-41 of Frenzied Burnout. Activating Frenzied Burnout now triggers the additional Virulent Talon buff. Adjusted the number of strikes triggered by Virulent Talon to account for the reduced reuse time.
    - Magician, Shaman - Slightly reduced the effectiveness of ranks 19-25 of Malosinete and ranks 4-10 of Wind of Malosinete so that the appropriate level Malo spells will overwrite the AA ability debuff.
    - Mana Users - Spell Casting Mastery no longer reduces the mana cost of AA abilities that have a mana cost.
    - Monk - Made a number of significant changes to the following AA lines: Crippling Strike, Eye Gouge, Gouging Claws of the Jade Tiger, Master's Hastened Combination, and Stunning Kick:
