What have I done? All this stuff sounds fascinating.

But seriously, if I brought up in Teamspeak that I was going to take this mapping software, add a log parser plugin ODBC to a central database with different users, and then throw up a Harry Potter map on a web server for everyone in the guild to use (and see each other on)...

I fully expect to be kicked out of Teamspeak!

It's pretty sad that a chunk of the community sees nothing wrong with this, IMHO.

Lite has 5 clients opened on 5 virtual machines

Take your head out of your ass

only 5? newb

OK and while we're at it:

We can pinpoint enemy locations on the Harry Potter map by parsing the Main Assist melee along with the /loc settings.

We can also make a parser plugin to send key-strokes... no need for MQ here!

We can automate CH rotations with that. An obvious must-have for Velious right?

Let's use that same plugin to refresh clickies whenever you're dispelled... no need for human reflexes when you have a log parser!

Let's add a mouse macro to auto-swap weapons (simply using X Y screen coordinate clicks).

How about we use that to also auto-swap potions and click them for you?



Are we playing WOW yet?

None of that will ever happen here. Why? Because everything on your list except the map app is a HACK: all of them would require automated interaction with the EQ client to work. The map app doesn't, which is why it is 100% classic, endorsed by the GMs, and not stoppable by the GMs even if they wanted to.

Are you crying about this because it would be more available to everyone vs the few who go the extra mile? I mean everything you are saying is already happening with a hand full of players.

P.S. Who gives a shit about maps, all the PvP happens in like 6-7 zones 95% of the time, and until a anti plug code right at the zone lines. Dont need a map to figure that shit out. Lets not make this bigger than it really is.

[MC Epic]

Where, oh where should we draw the line then, oh massah Rystar?

I'm well aware of a certain rogue who has used things I mentioned above to swap items in jousts for an advantage. Incidentally, there were bans following that, for related offences.

My point is... if those "handful of of players" "who go the extra mile" were told by their peers that this was uncool behaviour and not tolerated, they'd quit the bad behaviour or quit the game (-1 toxic player, yay).

However, if the opposite happens, where instead the peers look the other way (or even adopt the "extra mile" that the "handful of players" have implemented), we fall into a downward spiral of: game-genie or don't compete.

In-short: throw away the game genie and

IMO would be nice if YT tracked where and what zone /loc wise so we could compile a kewl battle map of battles that would play back server events in real time with neato CGI graphics from a 1980's movie

[MC Epic]

nope; none of that would require any program direct interaction with eqclient.exe (like MQ withoffset hacking).

Eqclient will accept a keystroke, whether it's from a keyboard or something else - i.e. keyboard macros, autohotkey, etc.

It would also accept mouse clicks at x/y axis coordinates, whether from a mouse or something else.

we have much work to do meso, its time to automate this shit, imagine sitting at work reading nihilum tears when our bots are raping them

hoho

no srsly, brogean.dll ban all bad people who use map , ty <3
