Curious : EverQuest 2 General Discussions

I have heard SOE has been Banning people from using Macros programs. I'm curious to how they know your running it and how you can counter it.

They do things like move your character away from the crafting station and then back. (to see if you just keep crafting away like nothing happened)
They also can give your player tells.

This is the most common approach.

Hey Wyvern,

Is there any possible way to make the program stop if your character is moved away from the crafting area? I don't know much about programming but that would be awesome=D

Yes, that will be a feature of 3.0.

I've recieved TELLs from randoms before too. Usually a good idea to be near by your computer when you hear one come up. I got around 6 TELLs within 3 hours on a weekend once. Haven't gotten them again since I responded to the person. They keep asking me questions about crafting and then I got a few about who my guild leader was. As for being moved around.. I think I've encountered that as well.

Could a really long pause come up say every 15 minutes or something random from 5 to 45 minutes inbetween buffs? And possibley something else that would make it appear that you are in front of your computer, like moving or casting random spells (buffs) on yourself.

Keep up the good work.

Well, I just added x,y,z locs so the EQ2Service.

So movememnt detection will be in 3.0.

I'm also going to add a way to do a "route" to the vendor every few minutes (optional) so that it will appear to be buying supplies.

thats cool.. but will the path be detectable from the forge or from the woodworking table?

also.. just something as a request if possible. can a short cut key be made so that you can pause the script? sometimes if I get a TELL I try to responde but the mouse keeps going back to unpause the script and nothing I do can stop it. except letting it start the crafting and then stop it.. i then lose my fuel.

oh and I can't get it to save my last setting at all either. not sure why its not working..

djsnafu, just move the mouse to pause the script, you don't need a pause button. The script only moves the mouse when it detects that the combine has completed and tries to start another. If it's paused during the combine process it will never move the mouse on you.

For the script to save your last setting make sure you stop the script, not just logout and shut down eq2 while its running. Everytime I have stopped the script its always saved, but never does when i camp and keep it running. I also always select the craft im using in the script window, not sure if its needed to save correctly, but i do anyway.

Uhhh, cant wait until 3.0
