AutoBot.mac¶
Description¶
AutoBot.mac by A_Druid_00 is a versatile macro for automating a lot of tasks for your character in group, raid and solo situations.
Requirements¶
AutoBot.mac does not run on a default MQ2 compilation, it has a few extra dependencies. Some of the below items are plugins and need to be compiled, just like MacroQuest2. Please read the appropriate documentation for each plugin. The Include files should be added to the same directory that AutoBot will be run from.
Plugins:
- MQ2MoveUtils by Outlander
This is so the macro knows about stick, /makecamp, and /moveto. Check out the
wiki.
- MQ2Exchange by Wassup
This is so that item swapping, casting, and swapping back will work
- MQ2Debuffs by pinkfloydx33
This is so the macro can keep track of your debuff counters.
- MQ2Melee by s0rcier
So as to properly configure melee/ranged combat and various options thereof, check out the
wiki.
Includes Files:
- Wait4Rez.inc Handles pre-rez situations.
- spell_routines.inc Handles spell casting, from gems, items and AAs.
- QuickBeg2.inc Handles buff begging.
- Ninjadvloot.inc Handles looting.
Getting Started¶
Pointers for AutoBot stuffs. (We should make a multi-boxing wiki sometime, we could link it here...)
In addition to the documentation for the various plugins used directly by AutoBot (see links in Requirements) The following is useful info on other plugins you can use to enhance your AutoBot experience.
MQ2Clip by Vaft, Cr4zyb4rd, et al. Manages the clip plane of backgrounded sessions. Your CPU will thank you.
MQ2FPS by Lax. Helps manage framerates of EQ sessions, greatly helps multi-botting... Check out the wiki
MQ2Eqbc by Omnictrl Is an alternative way to communicate with your bots. Configure your EQBC.ini with the following: [Last Connect] Server=192.168.1.101 (This must be edited to match the ip and port you have the server listening to) Port=2112 [Settings] AutoConnect=1 AllowControl=1
You will also need to change the channel setting in your AutoBot.ini from "i say" to "bc" to use it for bot to bot communication. Don't forget that if you are getting identify spam that you check loot.ini and QB2Settings.ini for any i say or i msg commands. QB2Settings.ini defaults to i msg and needs to be changed if using EQBC. Recommend MQ2NetBots, MQ2NetStat, and MQ2NetHeal to go along with this. More information available on Page 59 of the original AutoBot thread.
Using AutoBot.mac¶
1) The main macro file, 'yyy.mac' (called 'RaidDruid.mac' in the .zip file) can be named to 'AutoBot.mac' or 'AnythingYouWant.mac'. 2) To start the macro in EverQuest with MQ2 running; type '/macro yyy.mac Note: The first time you run the macro, it will generate an ini file called RD_xxx.ini 3) Configure your RD_xxx.ini, where 'xxx' is your character name. 3a) Peruse through RDCommon.ini and add in any mobs you might want to have certains spells ignore. I tend to put Guild Lobby and PoK NPCs as immune to mez, makes life simpler when walking around and I forget to pause my bots. 4)Restart Autobot after configuring RD_xxx.ini. 5) Enjoy the show.
Bot Commands¶
There are a few non-alias (no / required) commands available to Autobot. These commands will cause the bots to respond to a few general status/movement commands without the obvious /alias, for easy use in a group setting. Bots will only respond to commands sent by someone in the MasterList buffqueue This command has your bot respond in your ChatChannel with the # of buffs left in his "buff queue". Handy for deciding whether to continue pulling/crawling after a group wipe. Keep in mind that some longer cast spells such as Night's Dark Terror for enchanters have extremely long recast times, and so can sit in the queue for a while. follow This command will have your bots /stick to you. They will sit to med if needed and within your LeashLength. They will also break off to attack if /domelee is turned on and the MA is fighting something. They will also service buff requests and do debuffing if applicable and they are not moving. mana All bots with a mana pool bigger than 0 will report their current % mana in your /chatchannel. medtime All bots with a mana pool bigger than 0 will report their currently estimated time to full mana based on their current Mana Regen divided by their mana level. move up This command tells your bots to move up to your current location. If they are set to /makecamp, they will reset their camp X and Y loc to your current position. If they are following, they will resume following once they reach your position (This is handy for positioning your bots in front of doors/bridges before moving through/across them) stop This command tells the bots to stop following wherever they happen to be standing.
Slash Commands¶
AutoBot.mac comes with a great set of predefined Slash Commands for easy and fast in-game configuration. Uber macro pause/unpause hotkey (bound to for me, unlike normal EQ hotkeys 1-10, it works even while casting) Add the following lines to MQ2CustomBinds.txt:
name=StartPauseDB
down=/docommand ${If[!${Macro.Name.Equal[RaidDruid.mac]}, /mac RaidDruid.mac, /varset RDPause ${If[${RDPause}==1,0,1]}]}
up=
Then in game type _/bind StartPauseDB _ to bind that to your __ key. When pressed your __ key will start AutoBot if it's not already started. If it's already running it will toggle the pause on the macro.
Here's a full list, divided into sub-sections for each category of Slash Commands there are (Each toggle alias works by itself, or will take an argument of ON/OFF, TRUE/FALSE, or 1/0):

Healing¶

checking their HPs against your defined HealPct, and casts heals if appropriate. Super handy on mobs with AE Rampage
or AE Damage effects.
- /assistheal
Toggles on Assist Healing. This creates an array of every NPC within NPCRadius, and assists them to find the target

floor you want to start CH at.

be dead in less than 20 seconds, it will duck out of whatever RD is currently doing and start a CH. If the tank's
HPs stop falling and level off above the TankHealPct, it will cancel CH and wait until the tank's HPs fall again.
- /usedivarb
Toggles using your divine arbitration or cleric epic 1.5 (if you have it) when a group member falls below the
DivArbHPs.
- /waittocancel
Toggle. When turned on, this will wait until your heals have less than .5 seconds left before making the decison to
cancel the heal.
Buffing¶
AutoBot queues buff requests and casts them when appropriate. It will not cast buffs unless there are no mobs within 20 feet of the bot, it's not in combat, and it's not moving. It will hold onto those buff requests until you are no longer moving, not in combat, and there are no mobs within 20 feet. If you zone, all stored buffs are flushed, and you have to beg again. By default the bot only listens for /tells and IRC chat for buffing. If you want him to listen in other channels, you need to add #chat group to listen in group, or #chat chat to listen in EQ's chat channels; to the RaidDruid.mac file under the #chat tell line right near the top of the macro. More information on the #chat function can be found in the MacroQuest manual.
Aliases:
- /buff "Spell Name/Alias" [Name | Group]
Use this alias to send a buff command to your bot, will also accept buff aliases. You can use this to cast items and
AAs as well as spells. If you specify Group instead of a name, it will buff your whole group with that spell, if it
is a single target spell. In addition, you can cast it on any spawn including NPCs, Pets, Corpses, etc. (Ex. /buff
"Steeloak Skin"� Bob, or /buff Oak Bob if oak is an alias for steeloak skin). If the /buff command utilizes a DoBuff
alias, the buff request is queued and will not be performed during combat. If the Spell/AA/item name itself is used
in the /buff command it is cast immediately. (Ex. /buff "Exodus" would fire right away, while /buff "Evac" would
not). **WARNING: YOUR BOTS WILL NOT WATCH THE GROUP'S HPS OR ANYTHING ELSE WHILE EXECUTING A /BUFF COMMAND, USE IT
WHEN YOU KNOW YOU DON'T NEED TO BE DOING ANYTHING ELSE IMPORTANT LIKE HEALING**

Set it to 1, and it will use this nuke when GoM is up.

If set to 1, it will stop debuffing in favor of nuking while Gift of Mana is up. If you want to get your debuffing done over all else, then leave this at 0.

Troubleshooting/FAQ¶
- On I set my ini to service XXXX skill/spell/aa but its not working
got something spelled wrong or not filled out properly. check the examples again.
- On Dots/Debuffs that don't work, but (possibly) used to
If in a group/raid with HoTT leadership skill set UseHoTT=1 in the ini file. If HoTT is not avialable you must set UseHoTT=0. Check to see the MaxMobs=5 is appropraite to the number of NPC's around you. Monsters that are green or sitting/laying down will never be debuffed/dotted.
- On Buff requests not being serviced
Unless you indicate that you want the buff executed in combat the bot will not service the buff if there are NPC's nearby. You can have the macro ignore certain npcs that we know for certain arnt kos by adding their names in the RDCommon.ini .Alternatly the NPC check radius is adjustable in the ini. Also make sure that the buff name is spelled correctly just how it looks in the info window. Lastly make sure that the alias's are correct. in the example ini's it looks like this "| convicton | viction | convic |", however if you have it set up like that, the buff requester for all intents and purposes needs to put that word in a sentence. if you have the ini looking like this "|convicton|viction|convic|" with no spaces in between the " | " then the bot will reconize and ackowlege any tell that has any of the word alias's it sees.
- On Bot will assist but wont engage when set to
The bigest thing you do to fix that is increase the NPCRadius=120, Also, consider verifiying, and tweaking the following as well. NPCZRadius=120, AssistMA=TRUE, , DoMelee=TRUE, AssistDelay=0s, MA1=Chuck_Norris, EngageHPs=101. aso remember that other options may be fighting for servicing. looting, selfbuffing, debuffing, buffing, etc.. so if melee is priority, turn everything but assisting off. also make sure that mq2melee is set up right. type /melee to bring up its console and see whats set and whats not. same thing goes. if your not a pet class turn off all that other stuff to prevent any chance of conflicts.
- On Cant load selo's into the ini
Selos uses a "````````````" located to the left of the 1 key.
- On incorrectly mezed Targets (also known as: Oh why does my chanter mez my MA's target?)
You need to properly set the target for the BOT by the Leader AA, or /varset MATarget ${Target.ID} as explained in "On target acquisition"
- On automatically mezzing NPCs when you don't want to
Set /rdpause on the BOT you want to stop auto debuffing (rdpause stops all automatic activity), type "/rdpause on" \(minus quotes\) into your command channel to stop auto-activity on multiple BOT's at once, or add the NPC you wish to not mez to the immune/ignore list in RDCommon.ini. You will need to know the spell ID for the spell you wish not to cast and this can be found by ${Spell[My Mez Spell Name Here].ID} (Use /echo in front of ${Spell[My Mez Spell Name Here].ID} if your typing it in EQ)
- On Target acquisition
AutoBot acquires the Main Assist's (MA) target in a number of ways.
1) By setting the MA in the bot's ini file and the assist delay, the macro will attempt to acquire the target of the MA after the set time.
2) By using the Delegate Main Assist leadership AA, the bot will acquire the MA's target that way.
3) By manually setting the MA's target using /varset MATarget ${Target.ID} in whatever channel your bots listen to commands in.
- On non-working clickies
If you have a clicky with no recast timer that isn't working. (Such as Time's Antithesis, Veil of Lost Hopes, et al...) The odds are you have an old version of MQ2. As of the 20th of Dec Zip, these issues have been fixed. if you don't know what version of the zip you have, try simply running /echo ${FindItem[item name].Timer} and seeing what value it returns. Anything other than zero is Bad(tm) and denotes an out-of-date zip file. Update, update, update! Also your last inventory slot must NOT be a bag. Clickies usable from inventory, even if usable in other slots, will be used from base inventory slot 8.
- On out-of-date alias lists
If you are attempting to reload your alias to your macroquest.ini. You must remove the Version=X.XX from RD_common.ini. Doing this will make the Version mismatch appear and reload all the alias's
- On healing not working
- On heals that never cancel even though target's health goes above CancelPct
Tankheal must be defined as a valid spell and different than FastHeal=, even if you are not using Tankheals (UseCH setting).
- On Green (non-XP) corpses that are not auto looted
These are not looted automatically. To trigger looting, at any time, send your bot "You gain party experience!" in whatever channel it is set to monitor.
- On late/not reliable buffs
Bots will not buff in combat. Also it will not sit to memorize buffs if a NPC is within a certain range, although using a horse remedies this.
- On non-refreshing buffs on bots themselves
Buffs from the [DoBuffStuff] or buff command are not rebuffed on the same bot that cast them, because you dont get a buff wear off message when they wear off yourself. If you want certain buffs kept up on your bot, you should use [SelfBuffStuff] section.
- On bots that keep targeting some npc, even though it hasn't been told it to assist and kill it
Your MA could have a corpse close, and that is being assisted to get a target. Or you could be using an old version of autobot.
- On non-following bots
Target someone and type /stick. If that doesnt work you have issues with MQ2MoveUtils.
- On Clerics that spam Complete Heals and interrupt them all
Make sure you have UseDivArb set to 0 if you dont have that AA. // There's more to this than just the DivArb setting... but this might be one issue\
- On non-attacking pets/bots
Check your MQ2Melee settings(the wiki for it is here). You need a properly configured MQ2Melee for your pets/bots to attack and do other various melee-related tasks.
- On items being identified
You aren't using the IRC plugin. By default /i is mapped to /identify.
- No slash commands work or error: "DoCommand - Couldn't parse '/...' "
This usually happens when you update MQ2 and overwrite the macroquest.ini file. This file contains all the aliases (ie. the slash commands). To fix, delete the Version=X.XX line in RD_Common.ini, which will write all the aliases back to the macroquest.ini file when you restart Autobot. In general, you do not need to overwrite the Macroquest.ini file when updating MQ2.
- When your bot doesn't mem spells
Your ini is set up wrong. Your XXXXGem#= entry needs to read "gem#", not just #. At least, 9 times out of 10 that's the problem. Check one of the sample ini files for an example.
- On My bots dont aquire targets when everything is set up properly
Each toon needs a breastplate, it has to do with the way autobot checks deaths and runs the auto accept rez feature, it also disables assisting, for a good reason...
