So here is my set up:

I have 4 computers all windows 11. Each computer runs 1 EQ RoF2 client. so 1 computer, 1 client, 1 character
2 computers are on the same network...and they communicate with each other
the 2 other computers are on a VPN (for security reasons) but i use them as well to play.

All 4 computers occupy the same desk. but 2 need to be on a VPN at all times.

the 2 computers on the VPN cannot see the main Redguides MQ2 PC, though they both recognize the groupleader and put a LDR tag on him.

How can i make these 2 computers (on the VPN) see the master PC without resorting to disconnecting from the VPN. Is there a configuration thing i need to do? workaround
? Thank you very much. Removing the VPN is not an option sadly. Nor is running 2 instances of EQ on 1 PC an option. thanks.
what do you mean "see"

do you mean dannet?

you have to enable local traffic on your vpn

when i mean "see" i mean that when i give a /dxe command ...the VPN computers dont see the command.

How do I enable local traffic on the VPN? Am using Nord VPN. sorry am a noob.

but thanks for this first step.

so yes, dannet i'll move this to the dannet page (make sure to check the instructions tab and such for this resource).

i don't use nord vpn, but a very simple google search seems to explain how to turn on local traffic

How do I allow local network traffic on NordVPN?


Local network permissions | Meshnet docs


On the left-side menu, select the Devices in Meshnet tab. Next to the device that you want to alter the permissions for, click the three-dot menu and select Manage device. Under Traffic routing permissions, turn on or off the Access to your local network when routing traffic through your device toggle.

thank you . i followed all the instructions to turn on local traffic. they still cant see each other (Dannet) Is there another way i can enable them to talk to one another? I really just want the stick functionality working :)

Should be able to edit the plugin to ini to use eqbcs, and then set that up with a static IP.

NordVPN and others have historically been not friendly to dannet.

Alright.

When you say plug in ini... This is the plug in of Dannet?

What is eqbcs.. Is there a beginner friendly way to set that up? I don't mind trying and doing trial and error. Thank you for your patience with my issue.
 
Sorry for the noob question. I am trying to wrap my head around using the dannet queries and all the examples I can find are using the macro language and not Lua.

Can someone provide me an example using Lua.

It can be something simple I just want to query the current target of one of my characters and compare it to the target of the character calling the query.

I feel like this is simple but I can't wrap my head around it (I am not a professional programmer and just trying to learn). Mad props to you guys and girls who can figure this shit out and have the skill to even make something like this to begin with.
 
I loaded all toons including MQ on a new computer.

The various commands are not working.

For Example: The Come To ME and Follow ME buttons are not working

Any help is much appreciated.
 
I think I unloaded Dannet on most of my accounts because I was running a predecessor to RGMercs? Does anyone remember that? Can you tell me how to reload Dannet I think it would solve lots of issues. Most of which I'm sure I created for myself.
 
I don't usually play with a VPN but with the latest ban wave i thought what the hell maybe it would help...

Anyways turned on my VPN and loaded my accounts. Once in game I could not use any Dannet commands or CWTN commands. I reloaded the game and the redguides launcher with no success. I then turned off the VPN and all worked fine.

Is this normal? I use bitdefender VPN.
 
Just started 2 days ago, got some things up and running. 3 toons on each PC, 6 toons total. The /DGE commands from my driving toon are only hitting the toons on the same PC he is running on. What am I doing wrong?
 
Sorry Vern I was mistaken check this out

 
Check your interface device is a networked device that each can see the other.

And if you have a VPN, you need to allow local traffic
 
Man I'm glad I found this. I think the issue for me was I had installed a VPN and it mucked around with the Network interfaces causing it to use different ones.
Change it over as noted to the loopback and worked a treat in solving the follow/mimic/come to me issue I was having.
 
Does Dannet require EQBC server running to use? Tried without and get a message to run /bccmd connect. This doens't work being on VPN (Yes, I have local traffic enabled).

Tried unload/reload mq2dannet plugin. Issue still persists.
 
/dgae /cwtna pause off

this is what is giving me that message. Is it CWTN Plugins that require EQBC?
The cwtn aliases already include the broadcast part in them, you don't need to /dgae /cwtna.
I'm not sure if it changed at some point when the plugins started creating the aliases for you (iirc they do that now?), but when you created the aliases manually you could choose to create them with either eqbc or dannet.

/cwtna pause off - That is all you need to type. Now you need to check your aliases to see if /cwtna is set to use eqbcs or dannet. If it is using eqbcs I recommend changing it to dannet.

Oh, I may have some underlying issues then. I've been an EQBC user for years. With latest ban waves, trying to see if I can transition entirely off EQBC over to Dannet. As you can see, I'm having some difficulties.
