1) Standalone
Using MQ as a standalone launcher is secure, simple, and able to organize hundreds of characters through custom groups.

All of my characters are organized and just one click away.

Your EverQuest login information is encrypted and stored locally, unique to your computer. If you try to transfer the login file between PCs, or change your PC's hardware, your login information can't be read. Be sure to use the import/export feature beforehand in those cases.

Setup

To get started, run MacroQuest in-game and load mq2autologin by typing /plugin mq2autologin load. It will stay loaded every time you start MacroQuest.

Right-click the tray icon.

Important: "Server" must use a special shortname.

That's it, now you're ready to run.

To login a single account, go to
Profiles -> <yourgroupname>
and click the character name.

To login multiple accounts, go to
Profiles -> <yourgroupname>
and click "load all". All characters with a checkmark will be logged in. To add or remove a checkmark, right-click -> check.

To edit a character profile, right-click -> edit.

Encryption
Profiles are encrypted and saved in mq2autologin.ini. The information will be rendered unusable if you switch computers, or make hardware changes to your current computer. To transfer between PCs, use the export/import feature.

Hot Key
The Hot Key will immediately bring that character to the front, whether you're playing EQ or browsing the web. It can be a minimum of 1 character and maximum of 3 characters, separated by a + You may need to restart MQ in order for it to work.

Server Shortnames

Our list of server short names can be found here:

Adding New Servers
In your mq2autologin.ini:
INI:
[Servers]
customshortname=Exact name

More detailed instructions on adding servers can be found here,




2) Normal launcher / patchme
WARNING:
The following method stores your account information in MQ2AutoLogin.ini in plaintext. NEVER SHARE OR POST THIS FILE!


First, you'll need to set up the ini file (named: MQ2AutoLogin.ini) with your account information:
INI:
[Settings]
KickActiveCharacter=1
InstantCamp=0
[B]UseMQ2Login=0[/B]

[Session1]
StationName=ChangeMe
Password=ChangeMe
Server=ChangeMe
Character=ChangeMe

[Session2]
StationName=ChangeMe
Password=ChangeMe
Server=ChangeMe
Character=ChangeMe

Then load the game with either the normal launcher, or the patchme method, and your character will be logged in. The first window will open session1, the next window session2, and so on.




3) ISBoxer / WinEQ2
WARNING:
The following method stores your account information in MQ2AutoLogin.ini in plaintext. NEVER SHARE OR POST THIS FILE!


You can also use station names rather than sessions, this is handy for ISBoxer / WinEQ2 users.

First, you'll need to set up the ini file (named: MQ2AutoLogin.ini) with your account information:
INI:
[Settings]
KickActiveCharacter=1
UseStationNamesInsteadOfSessions=1
UseMQ2Login=0

[YourStationName]
Password=ChangeMe
Server=ChangeMe
Character=ChangeMe

Then load the game with whatever launcher you prefer.



Custom login scripts

Batch files and hotkeys:
If you'd like to make a batch file or hotkey to login, it's simple.
This example assumes you HAVE profiles created with "Create New..." in mq2autologin.ini and MQ is already loaded.
A batch file can launch your accounts by sending the server_charname to the eqgame client like this: patchme /login:drinal_eqmule
