The following guide is designed to teach you how to launch and login to multiple EQ accounts with a single double click of an icon.
It takes a little bit of time to setup, but once done, you'll cherish the ability to login to all your accounts (lauuch your entire bot army) with a single icon.
What you will need:
1) MQ2 (obviously), but more to the point... using the MQ2AutoLogin plugin.
2) WInEQ2 Lite (Light version is FREE and fully functional and is available to use once you create a forum account on the Lavish Website: www.lavishsoft.com/#WinEQ2).
3) A simple free program you can find almost anywhere, to convert windows BATCH files to .exe programs. (I've included a freeware one).
Ok, lets start with installing anf configuring WinEQ2 .....
Once you follow the lavish guide on setting it up.... and creating a profile.... you need to login once manually to EACH of the configured accounts so it creates a eqlsPlayerData.WinEQProfile#.ini file for each configured account in WInEQ2 you have.
This is a one time deal for each account.... and this data is part of the important files that gets backedup via my EQ_Backup.exe utility.
Alright ... so now you have a method to select the game and account you want to launch via WInEQ2.
Now, lets get MQ2AutoLogin to login to the account.. select server.. and select toon.. and enter world !!!!
Follow the guide on this site to setup the plugin ini according to the StationName method required for WinEQ2 usage ( ISBoxer / WinEQ2 Section ) within the MQ2AutoLogin.ini file.
What you are concerned about are the settings to use StationName instead of the session,
This will get you to the point that once you launch an EQ session (via WinEQ2) ,.. you will auto login to the account... select the server... select the character you want to use.. and log in to the world. GREAT.. right?????
Well this is only great if you want to manually launch each account ...... one at a time.... (Blah)
This is all fine and dandy... but now for the final step .... launching ALL the accounts you want to run by calling the Configured instances of WInEQ2 all in one step.
This involves creating windows BATCH file.... for those who don't know how... here is an example of what I use to launch mine (attachment will be included ).
I use a seperate program called countdown to enter a hard coded delay between opening each program / launching each toon.
Quotes and spaces need to be exact....
Ok.. so. now.. you have a batch file that will start MQ2.. start WInEQ2 ... Launch all your toons... and have MQ2AutoLogin get them all into world...
NOW... just convert the batch file to a .exe program and launch that in administrator mode.. BOOM.. your done..,,,
I've included the freeware version of Bat_To_Exe_Converter.exe program to help you out making the exe program, as well as the countdown.exe that needs to be included (embedded) in the final exe program when converting the batch to exe.
Hope this helps..... THD

KickActiveCharacter=1
UseStationNamesInsteadOfSessions=1
[YourStationName]
Password=ChangeMe
Server=ChangeMe
Character=ChangeMe

Echo OFF
REM Show custom text without linefeed
SET /P "=Counting down: " < NUL
REM This line will start RedGuide MQ2 ... alter the path to match your install path.
start /d "D:\RedGuides-MQ2" MacroQuest2.exe
REM Countdown 5 seconds to give MQ2 time to fully load.
CountDown 5
REM Launch WinEQ2 now.... remember to alter the path to reflect where you have WInEQ2 installed.
start /d "D:\WinEQ2" WinEQ2.exe
REM Countdown 8 seconds to give WinEQ2 time to fully load.
CountDown 8
REM Now lets call each configured WinEQ2 profile instance we want to lauch.
REM "Profile Name #" represents the WinEQ2 profile NAME you configured for each character profile.
start /d "D:\WinEQ2" WinEQ2.exe /plugin:WinEQ2-EQ.dll "Profile Name 1"
start /d "D:\WinEQ2" WinEQ2.exe /plugin:WinEQ2-EQ.dll "Profile Name 2"
