Provided here is a ACT (Advanced Combat Tracker) plugin to allow you to Parse by Category back-to-back

----Notes----
Everquest has a limit of 15 lines of text for all channels except Group and Raid Chat per 4-6 seconds and up to 12 seconds if you post repeatedly.

With that in mind, you should limit your parses as necessiary.

I'm usually on after 5:00 eastern and i try to keep an eye on the act parse channel. Send a server-wide tell if you can't get it to work and have questions.
----Install Instructions----
Installation works as follows:

  1. Download and Install ACT
  2. Download the Plugin (Parse_By_Category_Or_Number_Of_Players.cs (Last Updated: 5/30/2008 9:15:05 PM))
    • I Recommend putting the plugin into your Act Plugins Directory.  Where you put this does not matter, it is just convienent.
    • Due to Limits of IIS: Please save the file as Parse_By_Category_Or_Number_Of_Players.cs
  3. Download the example Config File (ParseByCategoryNumberofPlayers.config.xml (Last Updated: 11/20/2008 9:21:32 PM))
    • I recommend putting this into your ACT Config Directory.  Where you put this does not matter, it is just convienent.
  4.  Open Act
  5. Click on the plugins tab
  6. Browse to where you downloaded the Plugin
  7. Click the enable checkbox to enable the plugin.
  8. Once enabled, click on the Parse_By_Category_Or_Number_Of_Players.cs tab to view the plugin
  9. Verify and modify all settings provided to meet your specifications
  10. Log into Everquest
  11. Create a New Macro
  12. add a command to the macro: (XXXX is your file name provided on the plugin tab (example: ParseByCategory.txt))
    • /do_file_commands XXXX
  13. Get in a combat. Once the combat is over and you have a new parse normally, Test your macro and you should be rocking
Good luck and I hope you find this plug-in useful.
