Little plugin I wrote which should help any who are interested in updating the ini. All you have to do is type /zonehelper on and then zone normally, locs will be in your MQ2 folder in MQ2PiggyZoneHelper.ini.
Code: 
#include "../MQ2Plugin.h"

PreSetup("MQ2PiggyZoneHelper");

bool bZoneHelper	= true;
bool bZoned			= false;
unsigned int delay	= 0;
char szPreviousZoneName[MAX_STRING];

VOID LoadINI(VOID) 
{ 
	char szTemp[MAX_STRING]; 
	GetPrivateProfileString("Settings","Enabled","NotFound",szTemp,MAX_STRING,INIFileName); 
	if (!strcmp(szTemp,"NotFound")) 
	{ 
		WritePrivateProfileString("Settings","Enabled","False",INIFileName); 
	} else if (!strcmp(strlwr(szTemp),"true"))
	{
		bZoneHelper = true;
	} else {
		bZoneHelper = false;
	}
}

int FindS(string strMain, string strWord)
{          
	int pos;
	if (strMain.find(strWord) == 'npos') 
	{                     
		return -1;            
	} else {  
		pos = strMain.find(strWord); 
		return pos;      
	}       
}

void SaveLoc()
{
	PZONEINFO pZone = (PZONEINFO)pZoneInfo;
	PSPAWNINFO pChar = GetCharInfo()->pSpawn;
	char szTemp[MAX_STRING];
	char szLoc[MAX_STRING];
	sprintf(szTemp,"from%s",szPreviousZoneName);
	sprintf(szLoc,"%3.2f %3.2f %3.2f %3.2f",pChar->Y, pChar->X, pChar->Z, pChar->Heading);
	WritePrivateProfileString(pZone->ShortName,szTemp,szLoc,INIFileName); 
}

void ZoneHelperCMD(PSPAWNINFO pChar, PCHAR szLine)
{
	char szTemp[MAX_STRING];
	GetArg(szTemp, szLine, 1);
	strlwr(szTemp);
	if (!stricmp(szTemp, "on"))
	{
		bZoneHelper = true;
	} else if (!stricmp(szTemp, "off")) 
	{
		bZoneHelper = false;
	} else {
		bZoneHelper = !bZoneHelper;
	}
	WritePrivateProfileString("Settings","Enabled",bZoneHelper?"True":"False",INIFileName); 
	WriteChatf("\ayMQ2PiggyZoneHelper\ax \ar::\ax \atZone Helper is now\ax \ay[\ax%s\ay]\ax", bZoneHelper?"\agEnabled\ax":"\arDisabled\ax");
}

PLUGIN_API VOID InitializePlugin(VOID)
{
	DebugSpewAlways("Initializing MQ2PiggyZoneHelper");
	AddCommand("/zonehelper", ZoneHelperCMD);
	LoadINI();
}

PLUGIN_API VOID ShutdownPlugin(VOID)
{
	DebugSpewAlways("Shutting down MQ2PiggyZoneHelper");
	RemoveCommand("/zonehelper");
}

PLUGIN_API VOID OnPulse(VOID)
{
	if (bZoneHelper && GetTickCount() > delay)
	{
		if (!bZoned)
		{ 
			PZONEINFO pZone = (PZONEINFO)pZoneInfo;
			sprintf(szPreviousZoneName,"%s",pZone->ShortName); 
			delay = GetTickCount() + 50;
		}
	}
}

PLUGIN_API DWORD OnIncomingChat(PCHAR Line, DWORD Color)
{
	if (bZoneHelper) 
	{
		if (FindS(Line, "You have entered")==0) 
		{
			bZoned = false;
			SaveLoc();
		} else if (!stricmp(Line, "LOADING, PLEASE WAIT..."))
		{
			bZoned = true;
		}
	}
	return 0;
}

Thanks man. Our piggy has some helper functions, but like a tard, I let time run out before 12/01 and did not do the access quests on my account. I shoulda checked them before they nerfed out saying in those zones haha.

htw
 
Sorry to bump, does that mean that MQ2PiggyZone should now be working in Underfoot, or does it mean that there is now a way for us to help in the standard DL?
 
has anyone got a updated ini for the new zones?
 
It's on the server, been there for days. :p

Run auto-update & select it.

Forgot the File !

Use the updated one below this post.......
Needed corrections to Brells Rest . . .
 
Last edited:
1) BlightFire Moors(395) had no connection to PoKnowledge(202)
Click to expand...

They used to have a distance check on using this book. So when you zoned in you could not access the book to zone to pok, being why it was not listed as an accessible zone. You would need to also change the location that you spawn when you /zone into the zone for it to work.
 
Correction.

Had a correction to make for Brells Rest connections:

480=brellsrest "Brell's Rest"39,482,483,484,488,490,492

Did not link Brells Temple and Kernagir, The Shining City to Brells Rest, updated now.
