I downloaded ACT. I just have not been able to figure out how to do anything meaningful with it yet. I do not use a custom ui.
What are the first three or four things u need to do to get off on the right foot? I know I need the info from ACT to fine tune my toon.

LoL , I knew someone would say that! I searched , but I guess I used wrong terms.... o well thanks.
Actually I didn't find the link very helpful. The people in that forum are already running ACT and are doing what I wish I was doing, which is ironing out the details.

not sure if you have checked the FAQ here ACT home page if you have yet to i would start their.

If you have yet to do so would recommend setting up a parse channel for yourself so you have a place to quickly check your dps and what ever else you wish for it to post in game from one fight to another if your group wishes not to have it spammed with it.

hope that helps

Parse channel is a good idea. Wonder how u direct info to parse channel?

simple just /# ( # = channel number ) then just hit Ctrl + V to paste to it from clipboard just try and avoid hitting the wrong number and sending a parse to level channels like has been done many times in the past

Edit: to setup a custom channel can just right click the chat window you wish to have it show up in and then in the right side panel just makeup a random name for the channel and hit join if i remember right and make sure it is checked in the box below it

turn on logging in eq2 would be a godo start also!

second question from ACT web sites FAQ

Question: What should I do first after installing?

Answer: The first thing to do is to make sure that EQ2 is currently using a log file. While playing, type: "/log" to determine the logging state.

Irie,

we've been using a parse channel for years that you have been watching since you started with us months ago. Mawks and I both use it every night and would have
been happy to help you set it up. If you wanna be talked thru it some night this week, let me know.

OK, I got the mini parse screen running while I play and I minimize main screen and check every once in a while. I created a parse channel for myself but have not figured out how to get that working ... I will though.
Question, I read in these forums that people use the info from ACT to make decisions like casting order. Just generally, how do they do that?
