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.

Lol. Good luck with that buddy. You're making a pretty far reach from data parsing and display to in-game manipulation via software keystroke emulation.

Damage parsers: classic and legal.
Game text triggers: classic and legal.
Leaderboards: classic and legal.
Mapper app: classic and legal.

It's funny that the first three listed haven't had a public outcry against them yet they are exactly the same thing.

Personally, if it were up to me, we'd all be playing on Pentium 3 machines running Windows 98, 3dfx voodoo graphics cards and shitty dialup that cut out every few hours. But that's not realistic and this isn't fucking 1999 where nobody knows that 15_year_old_dragon023 drops 15_year_old_pixel132 from killing it 3219 times before.

Never said anything about in-game manipulation.

Not hard to make a macro for left mouse click on screen at X=1540 Y=620 to pick up an item from a bag, left mouse click on screen at X= 540 Y=1000 to drop it in an inventory slot, right click X=540 Y=1000, etc etc etc. The same macro clicks the same spots in Microsoft Excel; has nothing to do with eqgame.

Anyhow, this is getting silly. Say "no" to Mapper app.

haven't read much of this thread. saw the one about the "map" software though. think it's ghey. i'll never use it.

1 reason to not care: is everyone going to have a dual monitor setup so that you can look at the map while you strafe run in pvp? No.

but the reason why it's ghey: if your entire guild uploads their location to a server, and the server relays the info back to everyone in guild (yea, the developer talked about this) then you can see yourself as well as all your guildmates running around on an overhead view of the map. and that shit is just retarded, when you consider PVP. then you'll have ppl trying ot hack / spy on map locations, guys who can't remember shit about the terrain just bee-lining towards their guildmates (who don't even need to describe their location), etc.

So i support disabling / making illegal this kind of thing. I don't know if it's possible to.. monitor the monitoring of the logfile? or just monitor whether this software is running on the PC (rogean's antihax are powerful, just to give you bros the inside scoop). So please, I vote to make this shit illegal on R99. It's just.............. NOT CLASSIC

[Bardalicious]

Pretty good way to keep a visual reminder of the server tick imo.

That is actually pretty cool in a nerdy, club-house, what's the password, ziggy-zoggy-ziigy-zoggy oy, oy, oy kind of way.
