MQ2Bot assist problem

[Artemus]

I've found the bot.mac does not work at all on a level 90 necro, so I figured I'd use the plugin and let it run on auto pilot. But half the time the necro is not assisting the main assist, which I have set. I looked in the wiki, I couldn't find anything about setting an assist. Many times he picks his own target, which gets him agro and killed. Even if I select the target from the extended target window, he goes right back to his own. So how do I get this thing to assist the tank?

The bot plugin uses the xtar slots...So xtar1 should be the MA/MT target and you have group roles set

If you don't have them set the Necro is likely just choosing xtar 1 anyway and your tank is choosing another for what ever reason ? Is the tank using the bot plugin?

 

[Artemus]

No the tank is manually operated.

So set the first extended target to group tank's target then?

 

[Rooster]

Yep, and make sure your warrior is set as maintank on group roles (EQ function)

 

[Artemus]

Ok.

Can you help me with other issues? The bot mac lets you issue commands, like follow, stop, and move. Can the plugin do that?

Also, how do I control AA so I can save them for a named burn? The necro uses them as soon as they recycle on trash mobs.

The AACutoffTime=XX is what you need to use for a general 'don't use unless a named'

The way it works is if the AA recast timer is more then XX it won't cast it unless it is a named

How ever if you set it low, then use individual AAIfX=conditions where X is the AA number that you see when you /bot on

AAIfx=
DebuffIfX=
NukeIfX=

For most things in the plugin you can do that, you just need to put them in the [MQ2Bot] section of your server_charname.ini in MQ2 folder

As for follow etc, there is the auto follow settings I use, which work ok for my casters to move with my cleric that I manually move when needed whilst playing tank. It is essentially a stick setting, as for follow/stop/move I normally just /bca //bot off and issue stick commands for my tank and caster to invis group. Or i just //bot off on all and run my mage and coth

AutoFollowLeader=1
AutoFollowSettings=30 healer


Have a flick through MQ2Bot - MMOBugs Wiki for more general stuff, it isn't 100% up to date
