While I support the OP in his endeavor, and having used MQ/2 myself on live for many years, and contributing largely to the MQ/2 community, I have to say that some people don't quite grasp MQ/2.
MacroQuest, developed over the course of many years, is nothing more than a character automation/assist tool which is almost infinitely customizable. Fair enough. You write scripts, it preforms them. For example, you want to see a mob's health? use /say ${Target.PctHPs} and it displays their health to everyone around. Similarly, it can do timed commands, such as /timed 600 /camp desktop, which would wait 600 MQticks and then camp out gracefully. Quite useful, actually (if you have to run but want full mana/hp when you return to the computer)
With certain (read: frowned upon by the MQ2 community) plugins you CAN warp and chainzone. These were developed by a group of griefers who have no connection to MQ2, with the exception that they know how to programming in the language and compile plugins, but thought it would be fun to mess around. On live, not surprisingly, these people were instantly banned due to the sheer audacity of warping/chainzoning- which was easily detected.
However, these plugins are primarily found on bittorrent searches for MQ2 or PRECOMPILED MQ2 which means that these 'hackers' are too lazy/stupid to compile MQ2 themselves, with the correct dates
However, I have never seen a MQ2 user able to summon items from thin air (with the exception of mages, and even then, only certain items) - that is preposterous. ( from another thread, but useful in my point)
Do I use MQ2?
On certain servers, i do - and find it useful.
Let me explain -
on krushers server and nonlegit #level 70 #si anything #kill enabled servers i have a nice little set of scripts called nonlegit_${Class.ShortName}.mac that i use to equip myself for whatever class i want to play, max level 70, max AA's, without having to spent 45 minutes searching for items i want, putting in and clicking hundreds of times to max my aa's,i have it layed out in a nice database and that is that.
I will like to emphasize that you cannot summon items on legit servers UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE GM PRIVVIES - but for things like krushers, it's perfect. I can have any character level 70/75 with the best gear i can find from lucy or the 13th floor, with max aa's in a little under 3 minutes.
Back to the point on hand,
/zone and /warp are seriously stupid things to do on a legit emu. It DOES ruin the game for people who enjoy the legitmacy (see: wizards and druids, pre PoK)
What do I think about the warp code?
Stellar, go for it! Just default it to a maximum value and allow other users to set it lower, if they want it in on their server.
As a rule, you should try to assume people DON'T cheat, and then be surprised and punish accordingly, instead of assuming everyone cheats and cracking down so hard the servers become no fun for anyone and the population drops even lower than it is.
my two cents.
