MQ2Cast is not auto-recasting on fizzle

MQ2Cast is not auto recasting on fizzle.

Found the problem in a macro, but it happens with a direct command.

Entering the below line manually in the chat window will cast spirit sight on myself from gem6. Works great, but if I fizzle, it does not recast.

maxtries|3 is causing it to recast if I duck the spell or if I move and it does not channel through, but MQ2Cast is not recasting on a fizzle.

The wiki entry clearly states in the first feature line item it should recast on fizzle. I looked through the source at code.google.com but I just can't follow the fizzle logic.

edit: I use the MQ2Emu_SOD_PEQ.rar distribution

ok definitely not recasting, it is returning CAST_SUCCESS not CAST_FIZZLE

I'm willing to bet this is related to the issue with it not returning cast immune. I really got to take the time to look at this, I just hate going through mq2cast's code

looking through the source on code.google.com I see where the Fizzle event is being checked

More +

// waiting on the casting results to take actions.
if(CastF==FLAG_PROGRESS3 && CastingE!=DONE_PROGRESS) {
CastF=FLAG_PROGRESS4;
if(CastR) CastR--;
if(CastR) {
if((CastingE==CAST_SUCCESS && CastW!=RECAST_LAND) ||
(CastingE==CAST_COLLAPSE) ||
(CastingE==CAST_FIZZLE) ||
(CastingE==CAST_INTERRUPTED) ||
(CastingE==CAST_RECOVER) ||
(CastingE==CAST_RESIST)) {
#if DEBUGGING
WriteChatf("[%d] MQ2Cast:[Casting]: AutoRecast [%d].",(long)clock(),CastingE);
#endif
if(CastW!=RECAST_ZERO && !TargC) TargC=(pTarget)?((PSPAWNINFO)pTarget)->SpawnID:0;
CastM=(long)clock()+DELAY_CAST;
CastF=FLAG_REQUEST;
}
}
}

but i can't figure out if it is actually trying to recast or not. having a problem following an unfamiliar language.

edit: I assume this is where it is being checked.. this is just watching the events I believe and is what would set up CastingE to equal 5, but i honestly have no idea.

FYI, cast immune has two different LIST### in the event definitions. no idea what that does. most are all LIST289

a few times i fizzled once.

in each case it did as specified.
