Description

MQ2Melee is designed to provide intelligent use of Combat Abilities, Alternate Abilities, and Combat Skills, as well as limited handling of pets and some items, depending on current combat conditions. It was originally developed by s0rCieR to replace melee-oriented functions typically used in macros. The current version has been added to, and maintained, by htw, while all the original code and work credit goes to s0rCieR.

  2. You must have purchased the Alternate Ability you would like to use
  3. You must have scribed the tome for the Combat Discipline you would like to use
  4. You meet any prerequisites for the use of the ability (i.e. can't slam from a mount, can't bash without a shield or a two handed weapon and the AA ability, can't backstab without being behind target with a piercing weapon, etc.)
  5. MQ2MoveUtils v9+ plugin by pms is needed to use /stick parameters.
  6. MQ2Cast is required to cast spells, activate Alternate Abilities or click items (such as potions)
  7. Once you get a new skill, ability, etc., you must have it detected by using: /melee load, followed by /melee save

Spell Handling

  • Provoke can be configured to cast any AA, disc or spell. It will auto-detect if you lose aggro, and then attempt to use any of the defined spells to regain it.
    • To determine the proper Spell ID for any Discipline, Alternate Ability or Spell to be used with the provoke/stun commands use one of the following commands:
      • For Disciplines use: /echo ${Me.CombatAbility[${Me.CombatAbility[<disc>]}].ID}, replacing <disc> with the name of the Discipline.
      • For AAs, use /aa info <AA name>. The first number (before the AA name) is the Spell ID.
      • For Spells, use /echo ${Spell[<spell>].ID}, replacing <spell> with the spell name.
    • Alternatively (for spells, discs, and items, but NOT aa's!), you can look on Lucy for the discipline/spell/AA and get the ID from there.
    • Some common discipline IDs are listed below:
      • Ancient Chaos Cry [id=5016]
      • Bazu Bellow [id=6173]
      • Bellow [id=4681]
      • Bellow of the Mastruq [id=5015]
      • Berate [id=4682]
      • Incite [id=4697]
      • Mock [id=8467]
      • Provoke [id=4608]
      • Crippling Strike [id=468]
  • Stuns can also be configured to cast any AA, disc or spells when MQ2Melee detects that your target begins to cast a spell.
  • Provoke and Stun have built-in values, but they can always be overwritten using the command line (eg. /melee provoke0=5015) or by editing the provoke0 setting in the INI file and then typing /melee load in game.

Commands

  • Most of these commands change your character's INI file in your MacroQuest2 directory as server_character.ini . Please see the INI File section for more details.
  • All [on|off] options listed below are controlled with on or off as the argument used to enable or disable the option, however true or 1 can be used in place of on, and false or 0 can be used in place of off.
    • Example: /melee on aggro=on taunt=on kick=1 bash=0 intimidation=false disarm=true
  • /melee by itself will list all abilities and settings that are available to you. Some settings are dependent on others being active, so may not show up until you enable the prerequisite option.
  • To find the relevant Item IDs for the various options, you can use the following command:
    • /echo ${FindItem[=<item>].ID}, replacing <item> with the name of the item you are looking for (no need to use quotes). Eg. /echo ${FindItem[=Blade of Carnage].ID} results in "25210".
  • /melee load
    Any changes you make manually by editing your INI file, if you are already in-game, will not be seen by MQ2Melee. You can force it to see these changes by using /melee load. This will load all options from the INI file, including any holyshits, downshits, or various if* options. This is also required if you scribe or purchase an upgrade to a spell/ability/disc/aa in game.
  • /melee save
    Changes to mq2melee options via the /melee command in-game, are not automatically saved. You must tell mq2melee to save, if you want any changed options to persist the next time you load EQ/MQ2. The save command will save all current options to the INI file. Any downshit, holyshit, or various *if options will not be affected.
  • /melee reset
    This will turn off attack, and reset melee engagement variables (stop stick, combat, etc.).
  • /melee key
    Displays the bound melee keys - attack, melee, range.

/killthis

This command is generally to be used within macros, to tell the plugin that you want to engage the current target. If you are feigning death, this will stand you up. It will also reset all the plugin's internal values. If you play your toon manually you don't need to use this command at all, just press the melee attack key (default z). /killthis is mainly for use in macros, but you can use it via button assignment if you wish. See the section in this wiki on key customization (default z), for attack engagement with mq2melee, which does the same thing as /killthis does, but with a keypress instead of a / command.

/throwit

Tells the plugin to perform a single ranged attack on current target. This will use MQ2Melee's Built-In Enhanced Ranged Mode(tm)!, meaning it will do the following:

  1. Equip the defined ammunition and ranged item
  2. Refill ammunition
  3. Perform archery/throwing
  4. Swap back previous range item

/enrageon [<targetid>]

Tells the plugin to react as if there was an enrage event being detected.

  • If target ID is given it will make sure it matches internal killing target id.
  • This was designed to be used with 3rd party plugins and/or macros.
    • For example: using MQ2Events with MQ2EQBC, create a trigger to detect that the target is ENRAGED. Then set it to broadcast via MQ2EQBC "/bca //enrageon ${Target.ID}". This will allow casters that might be too far from melee to detect that the mob is enraged and back up their pet!

/enrageoff [<targetid>]

Tells plugin to react as if an enrage event has finished.

/infuriateon [<targetid>]

Same functionality as /enrageon, but for Infuriate.

/infuriateoff [<targetid>]

Tells plugin to react as if an infuriate event has finished.

/meleedebug

Causes MQ2Melee to toggle sending output MQ2 ChatWnd text to a file in your Logs dir, called MQ2Melee_Debug.log. If you need to turn on various debug (show) options, but spam makes it hard to see, you can turn this option on and then later review the log file. The Logs file dir for MQ2, is usually either your main MQ2 directory, or a subdirectory called Logs under your MQ2 main directory. This location is configuration via the macroquest.ini file. NOTE: Each time you turn this option ON, it will clear all contents of the MQ2Melee_Debug.log file.

/clickbelt

Causes MQ2Melee to click your potion belt entry. Format is: /clickbelt ButtonNumber
Example: /clickbelt 2

Debugging TLOs:

  • string ${meleemcd[option]}
    Displays the final evaulated result of the option. Options are all the options that you could see with /melee (or listed in command section above). Examples are: bash, begging, taunt, holyflag0, holyflag1, downflag1, slam, etc. Echoing one of these options will show the final evaluated result.
  • string ${meleemcde[option]}
    Displays the default formula for the given option. Options are all the options that you could see with /melee (or listed in command section above). Examples are: bash, begging, taunt, holyflag0, holyflag1, downflag1, slam, etc. Echoing one of these options will show the default value, or formula, for the given option.
  • string ${meleemcse[option]}
    Displays the evaluation formula for the given option. Options are all the options that you could see with /melee (or listed in command section above). Examples are: bash, begging, taunt, holyflag0, holyflag1, downflag1, slam, etc. Echoing one of these options will show the formula used to determine if the option is available for use.
  • int ${meleemvb[idskill]}
    1 if the skill is ready and target in range, 0 if not, -1 if error (such as invalid variable). Most combat and/or character skills that can use an ID are testable here. Examples of idskills are: idleopardclaw, idslam, idforage, idfrenzy, idtigerclaw, idescape.
  • string ${meleemvcd[option]}
    Evaluates option
  • string ${meleemvcde[option]}
    Evaluates option
  • string ${meleemvcs[option]}
    Evaluates option
  • string ${meleemvcse[option]}
    Evaluates option
  • int ${meleemvi[variable]}
  • int ${meleemvid[variable]}
    Most abilities that autodetect (such as AA's, spells, discs) have an associated idXX variable name that relates to the option. For example, for the withstand option in mq2melee, the ID associated with it that is autodetected, would be idwithstand. For synergy, it would be idsynergy. The meleemvid TLO will allow you to see what, if any, ability number has been detected for that option. A result of 0, means that no ability for that option was detected. An example would be: /echo ${meleemvid[idwithstand]}, or /echo ${meleemvid[idstun0]}. A result of -1 means invalid option.
  • string ${meleemvs[option]}
    Evaluates option based on the current conditions and target. Options are all the INI options that contain command lines that need to be evaluated. Examples are: bashif, beggingif, tauntif, holyshit0, holyshit1, downshit1, slamif, etc. Echoing one of these options will show you how they evaluate.
  • string ${meleemvse[option]}
    Displays the evaluation formula for the given variable, and the evaluation result. You can check any of the 'if' options, or holyshits/downshits, with this TLO. Echoing one of these variables will show the formula used, as well as the current formula result.

INI File

MQ2Melee saves most options for each character in the INI file called <server>_<charname>.ini. Most options in the INI file are set using the command line (/melee command=on|off, or /melee "command=value") and they are best set this way, and not by editing the INI file. Any options given this way are then saved to the INI file when you issue the command /melee save. Options that contain macro commands are set by editing the INI file and then loading the values with /melee load.

"IF" Options

  • The following "IF" options can be set in the INI file. They will then be evaluated before the relevant disc/skill is triggered, and that evaluation must result in true, or else the disc/skill will not fire.
  • They all need to take the form of ${If[condition,1,0]} statements and must return an integer. Any return of 0 is considered FALSE, any other integer is considered TRUE.
Eg. ${If[${Me.Combat},1,0]} will return TRUE if you are in combat, FALSE otherwise.

  • Any 'if' option can have a note show next to it, as a hint when showing options with /melee. This is done by adding the option under the [MQ2Melee_Notes] section of your server_toonname.ini. Example:
[MQ2Melee_Notes]
withstandif=Only do this if in raid.


Other Options


  • stickcmd
This command takes a list of options that should be passed to the /stick command, if you are using stickmode=1. E.g., "hold 15" (see the MQ2MoveUtils wiki, for available stick command options).
You can put a note for display next to your stickcmd entry, as a hint when showing options with /melee. This is done by adding the option under the [MQ2Melee_Notes] section of your server_toonname.ini.
Example:
[MQ2Melee_Notes]
stickcmd=Keep behind the mob, and closer than the default melee distance.
  • strikecmd
This command takes a list of options that should be passed to the /stick command when engaging for the rogue strike/assassination scripting ONLY (if you are using strikemode=1). E.g., "!front 10" (see the MQ2MoveUtils wiki, for available stick command options).


  • downshit0-downshit63
Each one of these takes a macro command that will be run when you are not in combat. Remember, you have to enable each option with /melee downflag#=on.


  • holyshit0-holyshit63
Each one of these takes a macro command that will be run during combat. Remember, you have to enable each option with /melee holyflag#=on.

HolyShit and DownShit

MQ2Melee supports up to 64 macro command lines that will be executed when one of the following conditions are true:

  • Holyshit:
Commands will be exectuted when in combat, no casting going on and the cursor is free.
  • Downshit:
Commands will be executed when not in combat, not casting and the cursor is free.

When setting these commands, you must be careful not to fall into an endless loop or create a spam war. Make sure that when your line finishes, it will set up something that will force it to be FALSE for a while!

Any holyshit or downshit can have a note show up next to it, when listing with /melee in game. Edit your server_toonname.ini and put descriptions under a section called [MQ2Melee_Notes] that look like:

downshit0=Only do in POK.
holyshit5=Only do in group.

Descriptions can be anything you like, as a note or reminder.

INI File Examples

  • Please Note: Use this section only for adding useful examples that can be included in the INI file, not for copy/pastes of the INI files themselves. Anyone can see what a default INI is by loading up the plugin, running /melee on, /melee save and then opening the INI file in Notepad. Remember, each flag must be activated in-game after being created (ie: /melee holyflag0=on).

Optional Global INI File

MQ2Melee also has 3 global (not character specific) parameters that can be set in a second, optional INI file. MQ2Melee uses default values for these parameters unless it finds a file named MQ2Melee.ini that you created in the same directory. Here is an example of a MQ2Melee.ini file and a description of the parameters: 

[Settings]
SpawnType=10
MeleeKeys=z
RangeKeys=x
  • SpawnType: This is the allowed spawn 'types' that mq2melee will be allowed to engage. Add together the desired target types, the total is put in this parameter. (1 = PC) (2 = NPC) (4 = PC PET) (8 = NPC PET) (16 = PC CORPSE) (32 = NPC CORPSE). Default is 10 (2 for NPC + 8 for NPC PET = 10).
  • MeleeKeys: Melee Attack Key (not same as eq attack key, or it will cause problems). Default is z.
  • RangeKeys: Range Attack Key. Default is x.

Troubleshooting/FAQ

  • I have made changes to my INI settings. How do I activate the new settings?

If you have MQ2Melee loaded and use an editor to make changes to your INI file, use /melee load to reload your settings. Alternatively, you can unload and reload the plugin.

  • I keep having to making changes to my melee settings from the command line. How do I save the new settings?

From the command line type /melee save.

  • I can't get the StickCmd to work

With Version 4+ of the MQ2Melee plugin there was a change to the StickCmd, wherein it no longer requires "/stick" in the parameters. The old format of "StickCmd=/Stick hold 10 moveback" thus becomes "StickCmd=hold 10 moveback". Also you will have to execute /melee stickmode=on to tell the plugin to use stick arguments from ini and not built-in default /stick behaviour.

Availability

This plugin comes with the MMOBugs binary and install distributions. The latest publicly available source (4.9) can be provided on request, or is available on the MQ2 VIP Forums.
