THE PROVIDED REGEX IS NOT SECURE! I'm a little surprised nobody's mentioned this here in all these years, especially considering how powerful you can make meta commands, and their consequent potential for griefing people via security holes.
That regex is only less risky than being left wide open....
Few examples for tricks that you can do with meta that make life quite a bit easier. if you have a question about a topic that is not listed below feel free to make a post and I will see what I can do.

posted this in another post. few examples of chat capture regex, let me know in pm if I screwed anything up.
Regex for capturing any char in any chat (this example will not react off your own personal chat) along with their text
(^(\[ +?\] |).*\ [^\ .+\ ) (say|says|tells you), \ (? .*)\ $
The primary purpose of this would be to add to your hunting meta so that you can clear landscape spawns such as black coral, prickly pears or desert flowers that normal will take over a spawn location for an enemy. This is a bit more complicated than the average meta so I will try my best to...

Okay I am going to seem really ignorant but I can't figure this out at all. How do I enter the code for Default2? I have been trying for a couple of days now (each evening!) to figure this out and it's driving me mad.
I get this error a lot, depending on how I enter the info:

I am trying to work through a meta to run all levels of the olthoi chasm. The problem I am running into is that at each level, the note is just named Untranslated Note . I can use /mt select at the first level but everything after that means it is just selecting the one in my pack that I already...

I am having a problem while using the AdvColo meta v7 by Dmdtt. The problem is: I don't always succeed to finish in time and the meta will just hang after being pushed out of the arena, at portal drop, before talking to the Master Arbitrator. If I double-click on the Master Arbitrator (or...

I have that message in green before being pushed out of the arena:
Its lifespan finished, your Colosseum Ticket Stub crumbles to dust.
I'll take note of the state it is in when it just hangs and will add a condifiton on that chat message and see if it goes through.
there are certain actions I want to incorporate into multiple metas, without having to rewrite them into said metas . . . is it possible to call a whole meta, in the same way that one would call a meta state? an example would be an automatic selling meta, which could be called by multiple different...
Ok I have downloaded the Scrolls meta, updated the .dll . The scrolls meta shows up in vtank but there is no scrolls showing. Any clue what I am missing or have done wrong. I really don't want to do my level VIII spells manually
In the resources thread, you have a link to mag tools documentation. The link goes to a page that says it's been moved, with another link. When I followed that link, I was unable to find a documentation file showing how to use mag tools. If anyone could point me to said documentation, I would be...

thx a lot bob. once I get those steps figured out, I'll have a fully completed meta to share (that works on current version of AC on reefcull)
Recently I have been playing a pvp server and hunting shadow shards at Lightless Catacombs. Within the dungeon I stumbled upon someone running a meta to farm shards throughout the dungeon. I was able to kill him once but since then upon approach he immediately disappears. Is there a way to autolog...
Ok I have ib control and chaoscaster installed on vtank. I edited expessions as directed and have it messed up. It works but the navigation/ follow is not. How do I overwrite my messed up meta to start fresh? Thank you for any help

Thank you so much IB, was able to overwrite and fix. Now have it all working :D
Hey! Another noob question I hope can be answered here.
I'm trying to create a meta to auto mule my bags of full salvage. I was able to use the line /vt mexec trytoselect[wobjectfindininventorybyname ] with success.. But I can't get it to select bags of salvage, and i've tried just about every...

That will see if you have any in your inventory. Use that in a checkinventory state, and if true send it to a give state using the command IB said, then return it to checkinventory state. That will give all of your salvage.

you have to escape all special characters and numbers...I should have put that in the instructions in the thread...
I created one that after 30 seconds did /fixbusy in chat but it appears to delete after one instance.
Is there a better way? Or perhaps creating a meta that issues a tapjump after 45 seconds?
Last post
Set a command for Seconds in state to 30 under DEFAULT to Set Meta State and have it change to Fix Busy state that you create.
Set your Fix Busy State to have an ALWAYS rule for Chat Command of /fixbusy or w/e you want.
Create another rule under the Fix Busy state for Seconds in state to maybe 2...
Hey all. So i'm very slowly dipping my toes into the water with creating the most basic of Metas.. I was trying to create a meta that would change a players wardrobe on a timer (Say every hour)
I assumed it would require using the actiontryuseitem command, but for the life of me I couldn't figure...

Really?! I thought for sure there'd be some way to identify via a different method or something. Either way, Thank you very much.
Oh and I tried using two helmets btw, But I wanted two different colors and it can't differentiate between the two since both are Helmet .
I'm a certified noob at creating metas.. But I have a strong interest in learning!
Does anyone have any advice on some tasks IG that would be easy to moderately difficult for a beginner to try to make a meta for?

I have been wondering why can't meta be wrote in a text doc and imported like a loot profile?
Last post
its certainly possible to do in notepad but to be honest its incredibly difficult because you need to learn how each type of rule is structured and trying to write a any/all that is in any way complex in notepad is nearly impossible to do by hand and is much faster just using the ingame editor....
I'm trying to build a very basic meta that casts BD and the like on my dagger after x minutes. I've tried a few meta expressions, and while i can get them to cast on myself (so like defender on a wand or orb) i cant get them to cast on a specific or selected item.

the only thing I can think of is are you sure you are using the right spell ids?
also once you confirm the spellid maybe try using magtools casting commands see if that will work for buffing up weapons.
