Raid scripts

[kylesk]

Hi all, I have been reading up on here that there are scripts that help you automate raid boss fights, but I cant find info on how to actually use the scripts or where they are located. I also got a sub to BJscripts. How do I activate/configure specific raid boss scripts? Thanks

1) There's a wiki page that's very important:

http://eq2.ogregaming.com/wiki/index.php?title=RevisionHistory

If you scroll down to Patch Version-214, you'll see that Kannkor added two commands to HM heroic:
- set up for queen
- set up for Talan

This is how you know new scripts have been added.

2) There's a second wiki page that's important:

http://eq2.ogregaming.com/wiki/index.php?title=Raid_Instances

It lists each encounter, and tells you what's been automated. If an encounter isn't listed, it's not scripted. (Not totally true. <insert religious argument about undocumented scripted encounters and SOE police here>)

Hope that helps.

Ah ok "set up for".. Is that a console command? Tried a few and got an unknown command error. That's what I was wondering.. if we had to type a console command or if it automatically did stuff when a raid name is targeted

You type "set up for ..." in either /raidsay or /groupsay (or tells work too, I think). Any character with Raid and/or Grind options on who is campspotted will hear the command and obey.

Ok figured it out

One other thing. Is there a command i can type to find out all of the "set up for" commands that are available? I was looking on the raid scripts page and some mobs are listed and appear to have a script, but set up for is not listed.

Thx

i tried to use the raid function for the frist time last night for the Construct fight. im not sure what is supposed to occur when i type in gsay 'set up for construct' but nothing did happen. Once I pulled my toons didn't joust on red text so i must not have something configured properly. The wiki says there are two are three campspots setup in the hallway, do i need to set those up manually first?

Raid options/move to area/full text hits are enabled on all toons. im running a single group but i didn't see anything on the wiki that indicated a raid was required for the construct encounter.

Any ideas what I dont have setup properly?

99% of all set ups require the following:

Raid options checked.
Campspot set (doesn't matter where, just has to be on).

Then type it. You can't just have move to area checked, you have to have campspot on.

Ah ha! Now it all makes sense.
I always wondered why priests/casters would end up down the call when I fought construct in heroic mode.

Thanks!
