Question - Login to emu from MacroQuest

[nezstor]

Hello!
What is the best and correct way to log on your characters to an emu server?
Or if there is a guide anyone could point me to?
I have a local eqemu installation, I used to use a bat file that would start macroquest and then "start eqgame.exe patchme -h /login:xxx"
But now I tried to use the "new" MacroQuest config with Account, Characters and Profiles (same as I use on live) but it doesnt start anything when I try to launch.

You need the emu-specific MQ build... if you are using redfetch, you can select which build you are downloading/starting.

make sure you've setup autologin to know wheere your eq install is

AutoLogin (core plugin)

Log in your characters automatically

autologin works just fine

Does the emu you want to play have a patcher? That makes it a bit more complicated.

No, its my own and i use standard RoF client.
When I edit an Account under the "Open Config", I have one row named "EQ Install", here I have created an entry and pointed it to my EQ_RoF game folder.
I havent dont anything else to point out where my client is installed, are there any other places I can check?
If I hace MacroQuest running and i manually start and login with a character I dont have the MacroQuest boxes and if I do /mac or /plugin it says unknown commands.
So, it feels like MQ doesnt know where eqclient.exe is?
About the AutoLogin plugin, I cant load the plugin because /plugin isnt working, and when I checked the Macroquest.ini it says AutoLogin=1.
I will try to remove my Macroquest emu installation and reinstall it.

mq has to be injected to work.

it sounds like that's the hiccup - if you turn on debugging you can see why it isn't injecting - often it is because of a mismatch in elevation (you shouldn't run anything elevated)

Wohoo!!
That did the thing, it was the elevation!!
Thanks a lot for the help!!
