EZServer is a boxing server. Most people on this server play either 6 or 12 characters. In order to do this efficiently, and without completely losing your mind, you have to use a character management system. Enter MacroQuest.

MacroQuest, along with EQBCServer, allows you to use one character to remotely control all of your other characters. It also allows you to do a few tricks that would not be possible without it.

Installing MacroQuest

1. Download Macroquest. Select "Underfoot" for Client, and "Classic" for build, then click download
2. Extract the files to a new folder under your EverQuest directory (or any location you can remember)
3. Run "MacroQuest2.exe" and "EQBCServer.exe" before launching client

Uses for MacroQuest

Dynamic Map
MacroQuest populates your map with the location of all NPCs in real time. - you can right click the NPC on the map to target it

Map Commands

• "/mapshow NPC" - shows ALL NPC's on map
• "/maphide skele" - hides all NPC's on map with "skele" in their name
• "/highlight NPC" - highlights the color of all NPC's in zone
  
  

Target
"/target NPC" - Targets any NPC in zone
Example: "/target skeleton" - targets the nearest NPC with "skeleton" in its name

Stick

• This is a MUCH better version of /follow from EQLive.
• add "uw" after stick to make characters look down when sticking, this helps with water following or levitation (e.g. "/stick uw")
• add a number after stick to specify the distance to follow (e.g. "/stick 1" -or- "/stick 20")
• add "behind" to stay behind an NPC (useful for rogues, or to avoid rampage damage) (e.g. "/stick behind")
• Any of the above commands can be combined (e.g. "/stick 15 behind uw")
  
  

Sending Commands

• /bcaa //command - Sends a command to all of your characters, INCLUDING the one you are currently on
  
  • Example: "/bcaa //stick 10" - make ALL of your characters stick to what they are targetting at a distance of 10
    
• /bca //command - Sends a command to all of your characters, EXCEPT the one you are currently on
  
  • Example: "/bca //stick 10" - make all of your OTHER characters stick to what they are targetting at a distance of 10
    
• /bct name //command - Sends a command to a specified character
  • Example: "/bct Darpey //stick 10" - makes Darpey stick to what he is targetting, at a distance of 10
    
    

Item Notify

• Clicks a specified item
  
• Example: "/itemnotify slotname rightmouseup" - right clicks the specified item
  
  

Twist

• Allows your bard to continuously sing multiple songs
  
• Example: "/bct Bardname //twist 1, 2, 4" - Makes bard sing songs 1, 2 and 4 on his spell gems.
  
• Use "/twist off" to stop singing
  
  

Multiline

• Allows you to fit more than one command in one hotbutton line (as long as it doesn't extend beyond the frame)
  
• Example: "/multiline ; /bca //stick 10 behind ; /stick 10" - Makes all OTHER characters stick behind, and your main character stick in front.
  
  

Hide Corpse (not MacroQuest, but still useful)

• /hidecorpse looted (hides corpse after it has been inspected)
  
• /hidecorpse all (hides all corpses in zone other than your own)
  
• /hidecorpse off (makes all corpses in zone visible)
  

Hotbutton Examples

Assist
/bca //target id ${Target.ID}
/bca //stick 15 uw behind
/stick 10
/bcaa //attack on
/bcaa //pet attack

Follow
/bca //target id ${ME.ID}
/bca //stick 10

Gate to Nexus
/bcaa //itemnotify 19 rightmouseup

Loot Corpse
/target corpse
/stick 1
/loot

Make Alt Loot Corpse (Alt targets corpse that you are currently on, waits 2 seconds for you to get off corpse, then loots all of corpse's contents
/bct Brotedo //target id ${Target.ID}
/bct Brotedo //stick 1
/pause 20
/bct Brotedo //lootall

Alt Nuke Target
/bct Wizardname //target id ${Target.ID}
/bct Wizardname //cast 2 -maxtries|4

Alt Cast Spell on Target
/bct Toonname //target id ${Target.ID}
/bct Toonname //casting (spell ID number)
( e.g. /bct Aamadex //casting 125262 )

Force boxes to only render UI (reduces lag)
/bca //viewport 1 1 1 1

this will force your computer to not render anything other than the UI on your boxes.... massive reduction in work for your computer.... and no need for 2 clients ....

/bca //viewport reset and you are back to normal for quest turn in and stuff.....
