EQ Macros History File


Build 30 - 11/16/2000
- Added option to select Log File on Options tab.  This is NECESSARY since the
  log files are now stored on a per character/server basis.  If this is not set
  properly, triggers and map location won't update.
- Added command line parameter "/F" which is followed by the log file to use.  Be
  sure to enclose the filename in quotes if it has any spaces in it.
- Note this release is a maintenance release only.  No new features have been added
  to EQM.  Development (not maintenance) of EQM is temporarily on hold.


Build 29 - 10/18/2000
- Fixed bugs related to EQ's upgrade to DirectX7
- Character's position (for the Location screen + Maps) is now calculated from the 
  log file (player must do a "/loc").  Direction is calculated as the angle between 
  last two /loc's.
- Note this release is a maintenance release only.  No new features have been added
  to EQM.  Development (not maintenance) of EQM is temporarily on hold.


Build 28 - 10/7/2000
- Fixed some bugs related to the license server.
- Note this release is a maintenance release only.  No new features have been added
  to EQM.  Development (not maintenance) of EQM is temporarily on hold.


Build 27 - 10/1/2000
- Added Timer Window "]I"
  - Can add multiple timers, each with own name & length
  - Can start/stop/reset each individual timer
  - Choose alarm type (none, pop-up window, screen overlay, beep, wave file, or combo)
  - Choose alarm "(time)" to have an incrementing counter rather than a countdown timer
- Added Macro List Window "]A"
  - Edit, Copy, Delete macros
  - Play, Record, or Stop macros (if its a mouse macro, must still use "]]" to stop)
  - Edit macro can change all properties, including triggers
- Added macro property "Description" - can give each macro a meaningful description
- Added macro property "NumLoop" - Can set how many times the macro will play
- Added macro property "TriggerSet".  Defaults to "ALL" meaning the macro can trigger
  anytime.  Set it to a unique value (e.g., "ClarityTwist") so that the macro will
  only trigger when the global TriggerSet value matches.  When you run a macro, the
  global TriggerSet value is set to the macro's TriggerSet value.  This way you can
  have groups of macros that have the same trigger text, but don't interfere with
  each other.
- Can now have 100 macros (only first 10 are keyboard accessible though).  The rest
  are accesible through triggers or by the Macro List window.
- Main window ("]E") updated to include Timer & Macro list windows
- Updated map files:  GregT's map points, and fixed long map lines (Gwendor's fixes)
- License server is now CGI and not ISAPI (more reliable)
- Bug Fix:  Now traps errors in map files to prevent crashing (e.g. "The Overthere")
- Bug Fix:  Fixed "Message Board" link on Links tab


Build 26 - 9/26/2000
- Added Map Select Window "]S".  Select map from list of all maps.

  - "Select" waypoint button - shows: distance, ETA, steering angle, & line 
    to target on map
  - "None" button - turn off current waypoint
  - "Add" button - Set current /loc as a waypoint (autonamed "User_#")
  - "Delete" button - deletes user waypoints (can't delete map points)
  - "Rename" button - rename user waypoints (can't rename map points)
  - "Close" - close the window

- Location window
   - Fixed -Y bug

Build 17 - 9/12/2000
- Added Command line parameters
- CancelText and CanOverride properties
- Zoom Window
- Sample Macros


Build 12 - 8/31/2000
- ]W - Web page support.  First Beta.


Build 11 - 6/11/2000
- Ten macro slots to record and playback
- Automatic saving and loading of all ten macro slots
- Recording options:
    Choose a "looped" mode or "single play back" mode (per macro)
    Choose "mouse & keyboard" mode or "keyboard-only" mode (per macro)
- Audible feedback - EQ Macros plays WAV files in response to the
  various commands.  This option can be toggled on and off by pressing
  "]V".
- Pause feature.  Pause is toggled with "]P".
- Easy calibration.  Just hit "]C" in the game, and EQ Macros will
  automatically trace the borders of the screen with the mouse
- Triggers - scanning the log file and automatically playing a given
  macro based on text in the log file
- An "Undo last record" feature.  (Given the current UI, its very
  easy to record over a macro you just wanted to play)
- "Stealth" insertion.  EQ Macros will no longer have to copy any files
  into the EverQuest directory or the Windows system directory.
  Additionally, EQ Macro keys (e.g., "[", "]") are no longer passed on
  to the game.  This makes it impossible for Verant to detect without
  illegally searching your hard drive.  And you'll be able to rename
  the EXE & DLL, move them anywhere you want, change the window caption
  on the fly, etc.  I think this will remove any reason to be paranoid
  about using EQ Macros.


Build 8 - ?
- Added mouse support


Build 7 - 4/10/2000
