At this stage, you are ready to go try Ogrebot!
 
 
 
The first thing I would do, is set up a training dummy in your guild hall, set it to immortal, and fight it. Watch what is happening. Remember, there are hundreds, if not thousands of available options in Ogrebot. If you find something you want, or don't want happening, review the [[Tab:Overview|Tabs]] page to see if it already exists here.
 
 
 
If the bot appears to get "stuck" on an ability, try using the Debug tab. For now, just use the top  option on the Debug tab. It will tell you, in the console, what ability it is trying to cast, and on who, and from what section of the bot.
 
 
 
Most default profiles, come with "pre-warding/pre-buffing/pre-combat" set up in them. What this means, is before you engage an monster, you may want your shaman to ward, your cleric to cast reactives, etc. To do this, on your tank, you target yourself (F1), then turn on your auto attack. This puts them into combat... with themselves. Your priests see this as 'O.M.G. combat!' and they will use any abilities marked as combat on your tank. In this example, wards/reactives etc. This is extremely important for more difficult encounters.

New User Walkthrough - Page 7: Login Scene


Login Scene

  • This is an optional step. You can skip it and continue on if you wish.
  • If you plan on using Ogre login, or Ogre autologin, then you need a login screen (called Loginscene), that supports it. It needs to display: Username, password, charactername, and servername. It must also BLANK itself out every time it loads.
  • To assist with this, a modified loginscene is downloaded for you, but you must choose to use it.
  • In the directory /scripts/EQ2OgreCommon/ you will notice the file "eq2ui_loginscene.xml".
  • To use this file: save this file into your Everquest 2 UI folder. For example:
    • /EverQuest II/UI/ProfitUI/
    • If you are using the default UI, save this file into:
    • /EverQuest II/UI/Default/
    • NOTE: When using the default UI, every time you run Sony's patcher, it will replace this file, and you'll have to copy it again.
    • TIP Not sure which folder you use? In your /EverQuest II/ folder, edit the file eq2.ini (it may be called eq2_recent.ini). Find the line that looks like this: cl_ui_subdir UI/ and find this line: cl_ui_skinname test.
      • In this example, my path is: /EverQuest II/UI/test/ so I would save the file there.
    • Note If you use ProfitUI, every time you update it may overwrite this file. If this happens ask in IRC #Ogre for help. I personally don't use profit, but others do.
