• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋

    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

Been putting this off as it's not a game breaker, just annoying.

But now I want to get it fixed.

Couple months ago my VV Autologin stopped working.

It gets to password screen on EQ and fails to enter the password, so i get incorrect PW error from EQ and have to enter it manually.

It also will NOT let me add new accounts or characters, I enter the info, and nothing happens, it acts like it accepted it, but nothing shows up.

How do I fix or reinstall this feature?

I tried searching in the RG folder for autologin and nothing is found so I'm puzzled where this even lives?
I'm on the current build on tlp and it's been this way the last 2 builds at least.
I've also reinstalled RG VV over the old one, no change.

Thanks for any advice.
I deleted the 2 db files mentioned by others, and rewrote my account info stuff and now it works again.

Problem solved (for now)
 
I have this on two PCs, one is great, the other one gives wrong password. I think because the PC is so slow it tries to enter the password before it managed to tab to the right field or something. Anyone know a solution to this or a way I can add a delay?

Autologin injects into the exe so entering info on the wrong window is almost impossible. One client being at char select wont impact any other eq window since autologin knows what process ID its attached to and what one to interact with.

Thanks that is good to know. Any idea why it would be getting the password wrong? It is right in the setup.
 
I am not sure what happened, but i can't use the auto login from mq2. Normally I would right click on MQ2 and click my group, but when I got home today to log in the feature wasn't there. I am not sure what could have happened between when I logged on last night and tried to log back in today as i have been at work all day.

Every time I've heard of this issue it was an issue with login.db, which is found in your mq config folder. Sometimes a lock, sometimes a corruption.

* Reboot your PC and try again, just in case this is a transient issue with an old eq process locking this file for some strange reason. It's happened.
If not:
* Shut down MQ.
* Delete any login.db-shm or login.db-wal files that are still there (if it won't let you, you may have a stray EQ task holding them open and causing the issue, reboot and start from scratch checking if login option is there).
* Temporarily remove or rename the login.db file (no -wal or -shm, the actual login.db).
* Start MQ.... if you suddenly see the login menu again, that was the issue, and you have two options:
* * 1) Just redo your logins by logging in manually once on each account or
* * 2) getting a db editor and trying to find what is wrong with the login.db file

Generally #1 is what people end up doing, unless you are losing a large amount of logins.
 
close mq, then go to your config folder and edit the macroquest.ini and make sure the mq2autologin plugin is set to =1
mq2autologin=1
 
Just a thought here but was your group on Mangler. If they were then autologin is looking in the (or wrong) server. Need to point all your toons to the right server in redfetch.

Just a thought.

Good afternoon!

Any idea what this is, and how I should rectify it?

Thank you!
well. it isn't something that *you* are doing or should rectify.

but is this in autologin or where exactly? just saying "the loader" isn't super helpful.

the error is what it says - there are 2 visible items with a conflicting ID, the code just needs to be updated so they have unique IDs
 
AutoLogin, under characters, that error box pops up over one single character.

Curious SGM if that toon has the same toon name as login name, and then when you highlight over it the small red error box is over the 2nd name (the login ID)?

I noticed mine that does that, has the same.
 
Yes to account and toon having the same name, there is a red box over the account name. Not from Profiles where I launch the groups, but yes under the Character selection.
 
Hello, I just got everything installed. i followed the first time user guide step by step but when i do open config and try to add characters it only shows 2. One is my trader and the other has no class and says 0 with no character name. I have a few max lvl toons that i dont see. The lvl 0 also has an error message when i hover over it. I can attach a screenshot if needed.

Did you add the characters manually or log them in?
 
sorry for the slow response. i had not tried manually adding them. i just followed the guide that said go to char select and then exit. those that i manually add are appearing. easy enough fix! I was seeing the exact same error message that SGT posted.
