Question - Anyone still use SEQ? (1 Viewer)

[PixieDust]

Doesn't seem like there's much point to it these days... maybe for seeing if named mobs are up.

Anyway, I took some time the other night to get it up and running in a VM on Windows 8 (Hyper-V FTW) and if anyone would find it useful I could write up a guide.

It's useful if you want the map up on a second screen all the time but I don't think too many people do that these days

Pdust,

I would find that guide useful. I used SEQ when it was ShowEq running on a Linux box. I actually looked into seq just yesterday, bit did not get very far Would enjoy that tool.

I use it religiously and I too have been using it since Linux and hubs. I would find a guide very helpful.

Oh it still runs on a Linux box, and I'm just lazy and abbreviated it, heh. Windows 8 (Pro & Enterprise) come with Hyper-V, and the 8.1 update gives it all the same tools and features of Server 2012 (at least for Hyper-V), enabling the ability to mirror the traffic from the host (the box I'm playing EQ on) to the VM running on the same host, effectively eliminating the need for a 2nd physical machine, as well as eliminating the requirement of a hub or managed switch.

Truthfully it's not much different from getting SEQ working on a physical box, just with a couple of tweaks for Hyper-V.

I'll work on throwing something together and get it posted, probably the next couple of days

If you don't have WIndows 8.1 Pro or Enterprise you can also use VMWare Player (free) to build a VM, much to the same fashion as Hyper-V, and/or Virtual Box (free) which can also be used to build a VM. How you get your ISO of your operating system installs is up to you (Most versions of linux are free).

No clue about SEQ but Eqmule maintains MYSEQ and uses it himself extensively. It works on windows while running MQ2.
