Advanced User Tips

Ogre can seem overwhelming at first, so best bet is to follow New User Walkthrough, load it up and become familiar with the program before proceeding here. Once you have played with Ogre for a while the next things that come to mind are what more can this do? There are so many important features that you might want to take the time to explore further.

Ogre ADT

First off with Kunark Ascending the Ogre Ascension Daily Task Manager is a must have to set up and get all your characters their daily scrolls. Ascension is huge and this is an amazing opportunity to make sure you don't miss out on getting your maximum ascension experience. A full walk through in setting this up is in the link!

Ogre Export

So now that you are leveling ascensions and adding new spells, you need to export them to Ogre so it can utilize them!

Now accepts an EXACT ability name or ability ID.

• If you pass it a correct one of these, it will only add that ability. For example:
  • ogre export sprint
    • would only update sprint.
  • ogre export "Sanguine Encasement"
    • Would only update sanguine encasement. Please note the quotes around words with spaces.
  • ogre export "Slam VII"
    • Now, you could do 'ogre export slam', however it would have exported the level 36 ability, which is unlikely what you were after. Remember, EXACT ability names.
• ogre export 1571305261
  • Would export the ability with ID of 1571305261 only.

If you pass it anything else, it will assume you passed it other flags and know what you are doing and follow those other flags (IE: do the entire thing).

If you did typo, you can stop the export with: ogre end export, then restart it with whatever you meant to do.

Special thanks to uiywtf for pushing me to get this implemented and the code sample.

Ogre MCP

OgreMCP - Ogre Master Control Panel. Complete list of options and parameters here. You have been playing with the default one for a while. Maybe you were brave enough to start making your own buttons even! You can also stack commands on MCP buttons here [Stacking Commands].

Must have buttons for me:

• Inviters - invites your group with just 1 click
• Assist and OFollow me - makes your people assist and follow
• Setup buttons - I make a set up button for all heroic zones that I run
• Ascension scroll (use item) - Uses ascension scrolls on everyone while your out there adventuring
• Spells - I put snaps for tanks, death prevents for priests, and ae blockers etc into MCP buttons so that I can easily control everyone when I need to.

Alias

Aliases - If you skipped this the first time around I recommend going back and spending time here. Aliases are essential in making OgreBot really work for you!

EQ2Chars

EQ2Chars - So this is also an optional step in the initial set up. If you skipped this you NEED to go back and do it now, your life is about to get way better here! First off this saves all your account information and passwords. Why would I want to do that you ask? Well to start off with in ANY session you can go to Innerspace Console by using the ` key and type 'ogre toonnamehere' and automatically log that toon in without having to back all the way out! No more /camp or reloading, and this option starts OgreBot automatically for you as well! You can also use 'ogre login toonnamehere' to login without Ogre auto loading!

Ogre Autologin

Now that we have our fancy new EQ2Chars all filled in there is another important feature to discuss: AutoLogin. OgreAutoLogin can open sessions, and/or use existing sessions, and log characters into specific sessions.

Ogre Auto Target

Most people have seen the Auto Target tab on the Main Settings. This makes add management super easy, especially on fights where burning adds even partially is important.
