Plugin - MQ2AutoLogin (2 Viewers)

[TinyBubbles]

I use MQ2autologin to log-in my toons. I have 3 monitors. I have my main on one profile, and the other 5 in another profile.
I put my main on his own profile so he would load in the center screen.
The other 5, when they load, the windows stack on top of each other and I have to place them where I want them. I put the tank and healer on the left monitor and the three support on the right screen.
Is there a way to make them remember where I put the windows so I don't have to manually move them each time i log in? Or would that require that I put each toon on its own profile? That's the reason I ended up putting my main on his own profile, so he'd load where I wanted with the UI I wanted.

There is currently not.

Some folks use is over for this.

Keep in mind you throw away some performance with framelimiter by doing this, but to each their own

I appreciate the response. I may build a 3rd profile and put my 3 support toons on that one.. to at least get them to show up on the 3rd monitor.
With the 3 profiles, my main will show up on the center, my tank and healer on the left monitor and the 3 support on the right monitor.
Appreciate the response. Thank you.

Hi,

I am brand new to MQ. I watched the first couple youtube videos and I am running into a problem while setting up auto login.

I set up the profiles as the video instructed but when I tested it... instead of logging in all of my accounts, the username is populated with my profile name, an underscore, the server, a colon, and my character name(s) instead of the username (the password is left blank). After the login fails, the username is filled out properly (thought the password is still blank)



I am thinking that something is loading in the wrong order, but I don't know how to correct it.

Here is what the MQ2AutoLogin ini file has:

[Profiles]
DefaultEQPath=C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\EverQuest
NumProfiles=1
Profile1=dt1
[dt1]
EQPath=C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\EverQuest
******_Blob=01000000xxx
...

****_Blob=01000000xxx
...
****_Blob=01000000xxx
...
****_Blob=01000000xxx
...
****_Blob=01000000xxx
...
****_Blob=01000000xxx
...
[Settings]
UseMQ2Login=1

I subbed out the character names with asterisks and replaced a lot of the blob lines (which I think is machine code) with ellipses (...)

Can anyone tell me what is going on here and help me correct it?

It always shows this format during the logon process for me, but it goes through and logs in properly. it behaved the way you describe when i simply had the wrong passwords loaded in, so it could be something as simple as that.

the formatting in the username there is normal behavior though from what ive seen
maybe go into the mq2 profiles, and right click on them to edit. i had a few cases where ones that i had filled in and saved were totally blank when i opened them despite being labelled correctly with set, char name, and server name. not sure if user error or bug due to how i put them in one after another.

Wow, I am a total noob... my password was wrong.

There is an hour I won't be getting back.

Thanks for setting me straight :-)

After troubleshooting for over an hour, I'm at the point of pulling my hair out and need assistance. SIMPLY PUT; I am just trying to have my clients boot with custom INIs so they will all have their own hotkeys set per character. The problem is, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this to work without using the MQ2 UI. I have tried to set it up as sessions and then use a batch file but then the games are not properly booting with AutoLogin going. I'm sure I'm just a moron, but this whole issue with AutoLogin and getting it to properly work with a custom INI has kept me from using ISBoxer, WinEQ, or any other boxing software just due to compatibility issues. Those are to be expected but I feel like I should at least be able to get my games booted. lol

Can anyone assist me with getting this properly working or perhaps an alternative to getting my character to all have their own settings/hotkeys?

Been pulling my hair out after just moving my toons to the Test server and not being able to auto-login. My MQ2AutoLogin.ini looked like:

[Settings]
UseMQ2Login=1
[Profiles]
DefaultEQPath=G:\GAMES\Everquest TEST Server
NumProfiles=1
Profile1=test--main
[Servers]
test=
[test--main]
EQPath=G:\GAMES\Everquest TEST Server
test:toonname_Blob=...

With the double hyphens on Profile=test--main and on the [test--main] section, when I launch a toon nothing happens at all. I could do a "Clean Launch" and EQ would run, and I could select the toon to play from the autologin display in the client and it'd load fine. But I don't want to manually load my toons.

I changed

Profile=test--main

and

[test--main]

to a single hyphen

Profile1=test-main

and

[test-main]

and autologin started working directly from MQ.

I recommend not using double hyphens in the future.

I've been using this plug in for a long time with no issues. about a week ago, when i select load all on any profile, it just goes to the sign in screen and puts the default info in there. I am not sure what other steps i can do to provide any debugging info, but it just stops there...i havent changed any passwords, or any of the profiles, it just plain stopped.

 

[brainiac]

is the plugin loaded? ctrl+` and type in /plugin autologin

Yes, not only is it loaded, but when i get to the main eq login screen and it has failed to auto login, i i can use the autologin window to process a login.

make sure autologin is enabled here. It will do the same thing you mentioned if it isn't

I'd like to confirm that I understand what's going on with my characters and where the settings (ini files, UI ini files, loot (AG AN Nvr) files) are when using MQ2AutoLogin so I know where to go to make changes.

I'm looking at my MQ2AutoLogin.ini and I see the two profiles I have created. Each profile is pointed at a particular EQ installation via the "EQPath=D:\Path\toMy\EQinstallation". From this, I take it that each character in a profile loads from the same eq installation/instance.

Profile 1 loads from EQPath=D:\Program Files\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\Everquest Folder 1: so all the characters using this profile, I'll want to modify the files for those characters in the "Everquest Folder 1" directory
And
Profile 2 loads from EQPath=D:\Program Files\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\Everquest Folder 2: so all the characters using this profile, I'll want to modify the files for those characters in the "Everquest Folder 2" directory

So, when using MQ2AutoLogin, I'll want to update the appropriate toon file in that profile path installations.

If I'm running the toon on its own, without using MQ2 AutoLogin, I'll need to make sure I transfer those updated files to the individual EQ installation I have for each account.

Is this correct?

There's a lot of things going on but I will try to help address what I know after using this for quite a while...

1) I can only speak of MQ2AutoLogin.ini. Your username and password was obfuscated so that it is not a cleartext. This plugin just help to automate logging your characters in using the EQ installation path given by you.
2) So Yes, each profile is all or nothing in terms of EQ path. (so don't mix characters from different EQ path) (for example, all characters loaded from Profile 1 will share the same setting EQ wise, not MQ wise). Example, if you have a specific window size, location, ui layouts etc. All characters in the same profile will share this.
3) I am assuming you mean all your other configuration files for the other plugins in the macroquest/redguides folder? Yes, whatever you configured will remain there. But not your EQ files for each character...
4) Do you mean macroquest folder for Test versus Live? Because your EQ folder will retain the last character you logged in. So, let's say your last logged in character in MQ2Autologin is Character6, then, that EQ folder will contains setting for Character6. Basically, the last one wins. So, you will NOT be able to configure for each toon, EQ wise. This is because you can only select one EQ installation path for the entire profile.

Let's say you have Profile 1, and you have set 6 characters there;

[Profile 1]
EQPath=<your eq folder>
<servername>:Char1_blob=...<contains your obfuscated/lightly encrypted username and password>
<servername>:Char2_blob=...
<servername>:Char3_blob=...
<servername>:Char4_blob=...
<servername>:Char5_blob=...
<servername>:Char6_blob=...

Char6 info will be in your EQ folder pointed by EQPath above.

In summary, there are macroquest/red vanilla folders and there are eq folders. The EQ folders are untouched by macroquest/red vanilla. All the configuration you have for autoloot,abilities etc is in the macroquest folders. You won't need to create separate folders for them unless you are talking about test versus live EQ version.

I hope this helps...
