The Hidden Forest

Hail you noble programmers and godly multi-boxers!

I never used MQ2 prior to THF, though I multi-boxed over 10 toons on live more than a few times. I used some really good socials, and some mad ADD skills.

But, here, because it's not outright frowned upon, I am experimenting with it. I have read this: http://www.thehiddenforest.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=204&t=11518&p=69214&hilit=heal#p69214, and while it is useful, I still can't make the jump to writing what I need.

I need my cleric in my 2nd group to just keep an eye on everyone in the group, and heal them if their automaton is taking a smoke break or something. I run UF, and for the most part am liking that UF and MQ2 seem to get along well with each other.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Super simple healer macro.

Thank you!

It looks like mandarin Chinese to me! But, I DID always want to learn that, so I'll play with it.

I'll give it a shot, and see if I need to play with it more.

You may want to research netbots and the eqbcs server. Perhaps have a command where your characters report their life and this second healer watches for under a certain percentage. Targets that toon then casts a heal.

That sounds great as well!

I guess I need to experiment, but it's not something I do well with code, really. Great suggestion, however!

You can always look around on the forums you got your MQ2 at or on the official MQ2 forums a small donation there will get you access to years of marcros that have been built and may give you a jumping off point of how to develop something.

thanks... trying that as well. Really just not sure of the syntax within the macro, and wondering what I need to change for my particular situation. Some have said they find this fun, but it's more tedious for me. I assume when I know more, I'll like it more.

I'm just not there yet, haha.

Hail!

Time passes, but quests are never-ending. I have been able to move forward with what I originally asked about, finding this: http://www.redguides.com/forums/showthread.php/3641-AFKCLERIC-formally-AFCLERIC-by-FaNTuM, which has been very helpful.

I want this to cast group heal more than single target heal in my second group, but am unsure what values to place in the editable section:

/declare usegroupheal int outer 0
/declare groupheal string outer Word of Vivication
/declare grouphealrange int outer 70

Thoughts?

Sometimes just asking for help leads me to fix things... I fixed the spelling and changed the 0 to a 1, and it seems to be working.

Thanks for any additional ideas, and for anyone looking for a healing mac, after editing this one works like a champ.

There are a multitude of macro, multi or single class, incorporating the heal function.
Many uses local Eq client information see the Hp value.

Except that the big problem is that the true value is known only to nearly 0.5 can 1s after having made a target.
And if you dont target, you have in many cases the wrong values. which generates unwanted spell cast, etc...
nb: you dont have this problem with group heal, because the Thf server send always the toons groups hps

So in my opinion, it is only a method to use in a second time. to heal a group other than you, for example.

The best way is make and integrate in your main macro your own heal system.
Based on the hp on each EQ client, for capture the true Hps. which can be sent to all your toons via the EQBS server by using mq2netheal request.

To capture the macro is simplified at this simple query :
after you perform your cast on ToonHealNeedID

To go further,
You can make a quick scan if a main healer in your raid cast your first target, if that's the case you cast you cast on the second etc ...
With this you can apprehend how to perform parallel raid casts, so as managed and optimized.

To finish for the badass coder, if you have the status of all toons in real time, (sure, you know to program that).
you'll be able to code an auto multiple healer rotating function on your main tank.

The best heal sequence analysis is:

self buff, AA heal, pal self heal, (some manual heal cmd function), Group Heal, Tank healer rotation, Parallel heal on your toons.
after if free healer: Manual Target heal, Raid Other toons Heal (with old HP catch technic).

He does not exist does not exist on the Internet of perfect code.
I encourage you to do your, this also nice as perform some raid fight.
