MQ2EQBC - (EQ box chat) This plugin is composed of two parts, a server (EQBCS.exe) and a client (MQ2EQBC).

The server provides a similar service to an IRC server but is much easier to setup.
The client is similar to the MQ2IRC client in that it monitors text that is sent to the EQBC server.

EXCLUSIVE TO THE REDGUIDES COMPILE
The /bcg and /bcga command. - Might have mentioned in passing by william12 according to him.

/bcg
This command will only be sent to group members other than the character issuing the command that are connected to the EQBC server.
It will be ignored by any other character connected to your EQBC server not in that group.
Ignores mercenaries.

Rich (BB code):

/bcg //Sit

Would make everyone in the group sit EXCEPT yourself

/bcga
This command will only be sent to group members including the character issuing the command that are connected to the EQBC server.
It will be ignored by any other character connected to your EQBC server not in that group.
Ignores mercenaries.

Rich (BB code):

/bcga //Sit

Would make everyone in the group sit INCLUDING yourself
