Title: turboLoot.mac made by yours truly
Post by: bruise on May 02, 2022, 05:22:06 pm
EDIT: turboLoot v18 has been released.

Attached is a mac I made and has been collectively made better by others on EZ.

Code:

1. New lootSpells var: If set to 1, will loot any spells it comes across IF usable by you AND not already scribed AND spell not found in your inv or bank.
2. 2 vars for setting how you want to communicate announcements (start looting, items found, etc) and looting.
3. corpseDistance variable for setting a loot radius.
4. When each toon finishes looting, will move them a random small amount so they're not in the way of other toons looting.
5. Cleaned up the documentation and coding a bit. Hopefully a little easier to understand. Plan on cleaning it further soon-ish.
6. Going to start updating the version # so people can easily tell if they're on an earlier iteration or not.

I currently run 2 copies of the macro; one for my main and one for alts. There are several ways to use different copies while not needing to change your hotkey in-game. One suggestion is to make subfolders for each progression zone and run the macro as
Code:
/mac ${Zone.ShortName}\turboloot
/bca //mac ${Zone.ShortName}\turbolootalts

You could also create a copy for each toon and have them each run their own. I use this method for working on UCv1 since some alts have different LVL 50 charms and I don't want them looting 25 v1s or 2s unnecessarily. Easiest way to do that would be a hotkey setup like this:
Code:
/noparse /bcaa //mac ${Zone.ShortName}\turboloot_${Me.CleanName}
or
/noparse /bcaa //mac turboloot_${Me.CleanName}

Tubroloot is crazy fast! I have two semi-errors with it at this point. Sometimes a box will get stuck in the looting screen which brings everyone to a halt because they all get stuck trying to loot that corpse. The second issue is related, when something happens (a corpse doesn't fix right or someone gets stuck) I get ultra spammed with loot fail messages (too far, someone already looting, etc). I am resisting filtering them out with a filter because I'm not sure I want those messages always gone, but it might be cool if there was a way to filter them while the macro is running? I'm not sure if that's possible.

Any/all errors should be fixed btw. As a sidenote, it's important that items aren't listed twice; it can cause issues.

Still learning this macro stuff, do I take the file and just put it and save in the EQ folder or does it have to be put in a specific sub folder?

Save it inside the Macros folder located in your MQ2 install directory. ex. C:\MQ2\Macros\
