Hey MMOBugs,
Today I'd like to discuss what new features you'd like to see with MQ2 plugins. Most of our time gets put into maintenance, debugging and trying to keep things crash free for MQ2. EQMule has done wonders with this but has also added a bit of work keeping up with his changes. His MQ2AutoLogin changes this week are pure magic if you haven't seen them yet (Though they are still not release on Live at this stage, we should see this soon)
PeteSampras and Htw have been working on MQ2Bot quite a bit, to the point where it's a very flexable plugin, though it still has some quirks with pets/mercs, which Blitzkrieg has been pretty vocal about in IRC today. Pete I believe is starting a whole new revision from the ground up for MQ2Bot, which should be exciting to see where that leads.
Anyway on to the reason of this post. I'd like to see some work done on either creating new plugin idea, or polishing some other already existing plugins. We just need to figure out where our time is best spent. Here are two ideas.
MQ2Bot is a great plugin, though it can be at times frustrating to get all your settings right for your characters. The idea would be creating an ingame window for MQ2Bot that allows you to view your settings, and change them on the fly ingame. I think this would greatly help people new to the plugin to figure out how to fix some of there settings.
Brainiac put quite a lot of work into re-writing MQ2Navigation into MQ2Nav. It's certainly an upgrade to MQ2Navigation, but it still has some polishing to be done. I don't think this plugin will ever be perfect due to the nature of some EQ zones being so unique, but there is certainly room to progress the plugin. Please see MQ2Nav vs MQ2Navigation about MQ2Nav not having /findmob and object loading bug.
I know you must have some cool ideas for what should be created for MQ2 that would be helpful for you. I'm looking for any thoughts, ideas, and feedback for plugins.
Let us know us know below so we can figure out where to spend our time to help you guys out the most.
Thanks.
Fry.
