Problem - Getting set up on Project Lazarus

[Crucifly]

Hi all, another new guy here having issues with getting going through RG on Lazarus. I was using running the most recent MQ from mqemulator as instructed by the Laz wiki, but I think I'd like to utilize RG instead since it seems to have some better guides and be a little more user friendly for an MQ newbie like me...but I have a few questions.

First: I have a Level 2 subscription. Does that come with Kissassist or any of the other somewhat "plug-and-play" options, and are they usable on RG's EMU MQ?

Second: I was able to get autologin working when I was running the MQEmulator Classic Build for ROF2, but I can't seem to pull it off using RG's EMU build. The character count is too long when creating a new profile, and the autologin.ini I was running previously, doesn't seem to work for RG. Below is the autologin.ini that works for me with the MQEmulator build...I've just remove 5 of the 6 toons to save space here.

[Settings]
UseStationNamesInsteadOfSessions=1
KickActiveCharacter=1
KickActiveTrader=1
Debug=0
UseAuth=0
UseMQ2Login=0
EnableCustomClientIni=1
NotifyOnServerUP=0
[Servers]
peqtgc=[PEQ] The Grand Creation - Omens of War
laz=Project Lazarus

[Acct]

Any advice getting a MQ rookie like me going would be greatly appreciated. As I said, I'd like to stick with RG if it makes sense to do so.

Thanks all

Howdy,

Yes, KA and other macros/plugins work on Laz. I use KA and RGMercs there. I'm using a dated RG Emu MQ build (I think from April 2021). I've noticed a couple things different in your autologin versus mine, it may help you:

[Servers]
Pjlaz=[] Project Lazarus
[Settings]
NotifyOnServerUP=0
UseMQ2Login=1

Okay cool, thanks! I was able to figure out how to get autologin working, so I should be able to make a couple changes to my .bat to and make it a one click deal, so that's squared away.

In your opinion, which do you think is better for a guy that only has a tenuous grasp on MQ to start out with, KA or RGMercs? And are they both included with a Level 2 sub?

Well, honestly it's a little dealer's choice. You'll end up tweaking both. Yes, both included. For EMU, some of the other premium plugins are free there (sort of like for test), but may not be optimally tweaked like they are for Live.

Since MQ is accepted there (on Laz), feel free not to get in too big of a hurry to get everything "just right". Go out there, experiment, ask advice in /ooc (nobody uses general, OOC is server-wide). I casually leveled my 1st group, so learning and updating KA ini's was not bad (sort of fun really).

I use RGM for my SK and KA for the rest. Note I've customized RGM to work with some of the different spells and for my playstyle on Emu. I was used to doing that for Live, so I kept using (RGM) for Laz.

Don't forget to watch all the great videos here about how to setup KA/MQ and what not. You'll be a pro before you know it.

I think I'll start with KA since I've already found the beginners video for it. I'm in game trying it out now!

Thanks for your help!
