building raid

[Sian]

Hi,
Tried to form a raid with 13 people but things were very buggy...
Sianette and Sianuke grp leader. I raidinvited with one of the member of Sianette's group, worked but then the supposed Raidleader wasn't, says Sianette was, but on SIanette's screen it says it's someone else...and none of them are. Tried with toons with totally different name, same.
Long story short : can't form a raid with more than 2 groups because no raid leaders then...
Only way I found to make it work is to Raid invite with a toon that has no group so he is raid leader and group leaders are correct...

Have I forget everything with my months' break or there is something wrong going here ?

and even by doing that, I can't move toons from one group to the other.

P.S : Where is the edit button lol

My normal method of forming the raid is to have one of the group leaders /raidinvite the group leaders of the other groups. Then once all in, make another (non group leader) raid leader, have that char lock the raid, then toss leadership back to original raid leader. All this was necessary to prevent raids from bugging on zoning to end up with no raid leader like you described.

I run a macro to make raid inviting ungrouped members for my toons. But have found that I can readily invite a group leader, but not just a member of a group who is not leader. The new code makes it no longer necessary to transfer raid leader back and forth to avoid bugging whenever you zone.

It sounds like yours got messed up because it let you invite a group member who was not group leader? Also sounds like it's possible that you had formed two raids.

Note: the below is MQ2 but it seems reasonable to post in this context...(don't hit me Lillu)

Generally I do a /bcaa //raiddisband and a /bcaa //disband to make sure no other raids/groups exist for my characters.


Macro I use to invite takes this form:

--------------
Sub Main
/invite Rockzy
/delay 1s
/bct Rockzy //keypress ctrl+i

/invite Denizina
/delay 1s
/bct Denizina //keypress ctrl+i

/invite Dotti
/bct Dotti //keypress ctrl+i
/delay 1s
/bct Dotti //keypress ctrl+i

/invite Jaronn
/delay 1s
/bct Jaronn //keypress ctrl+i

/invite Mchawi
/delay 1s
/bct Mchawi //keypress ctrl+i


/bct Oaken //invite Cmone
/delay 1s
/bct Cmone //keypress ctrl+i

/bct Oaken //invite Cmtwo
/delay 1s
/bct Cmtwo //keypress ctrl+i

/bct Oaken //invite Jabit
/delay 1s
/bct Jabit //keypress ctrl+i

/bct Oaken //invite Contata
/delay 1s
/bct Contata //keypress ctrl+i

/bct Oaken //invite Oldmans
/delay 1s
/bct Oldmans //keypress ctrl+i




/return

That's basically what I wanted to do Nilbus because that's what I had to do in the past too to prevent raid bugs (thanks Galdace for showing me that tip hehe). Thing is it doesn't work. I will retry with a group leader sending the raidinvite but I think I tried that but then in the raid window I had no more group leader for group 1 since the group leader was also the raid leader. Gotta retry.

Thanks for the replies.
