Not sure where to start because I've never had an issue with EQBCS. All my toons are on the same PC. BCS is running and all toons are connected. However, commands are broken. /bct and the like do not work. Making it about impossible to control my group. I changed nothing so I'm not sure how to fix this. I've restarted my PC and router, made sure the plugin is running and toons are connected. Not much else I can do.

I notice that you said yo changed nothing. but when you re-installed windows did it give your computer the same IP address as the one it had before you re-installed. as the message that you got is one I have gotten before when I have done similar and forgotten to re-set my pcs IPs to they had before. Just a thought.

Isn't there a hotley to switch hotbar pages? You should be able to do something to broadcast the shift+2, then the 2, then probably shift + 1 to reset back to the hotbar 1 page 1

I did not see any default keypresses for activating hotbar2's buttons, but you can set that on your character in the options I am sure.

Do alt+o to open the EQ options page, then there is a dropdown for hotbuttons. You can assign a keypress assignment to each hotkey in that window, then use that keypress combination to send the commands.
 
I know that the above command is a hotkey. If pressed, it is supposed to fire all the hot buttons simultaneously, but I don't think it works correctly. I am getting an ERROR message; /I couldn't parse
Line1//HB2_keypress1
Line2=/Bcga //HB2_Keypress2
Line3=/Bcga //HB2_Keypress3
Line4=/Bcga //HB2_Keypress4
Line5=/Bcga //HB2_Keypress5
 
i dont use bcga , never got it to work right idk maybe im dum lol. i use /bca for all but me /bcaa all and me /bct Name //keypress 1 . always worked for me hope this helps.

those are wrong think itsd something like HB2_2 this is indicating that you want to keypress hotbutton sets 2 and the 2nd assignment
 
i want to see if there is a command i can type for all my mages connected to my /mac kissassist to all cast gem 1 or all use a certain AA at the same time all i am able to get to work is /bct magename //cast 1 to work but only works for 1 mage i want to know commands to talk to multiple classes at same time if possible thank you
 
Sounds like you got some mages all connected to EQBC running kiss and want to make a button to send a command to all the mages.

Take a look at this wiki. https://www.redguides.com/docs/projects/mq2eqbc/ for more details but to send all one aa would be something like: /BCAA //alt activate 559 or whatever the id is for the aa you are trying to use.

Alternatively using dannet https://www.redguides.com/docs/projects/mq2dannet/ would be something like /dgga /alt activate 559.

Also check out buttonmaster https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/button-master.2174/field?field=faq

great for holding all the hotkeys you will make

and

Sic's hot key guide https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/sics-hotkeys.69365/

for ideas and keys you need to make.

This will get you where you want to go.

Hello guys,

I am following the guides to install the program and seen to be stuck when it tells me to run EQBS for the first time. When I click start it give me "EQBCS (EQ Box Chat Server) 1.9 Waiting for connections on port 2112... I have turned off my NordVPN and tried to give the EQBCS admin access but not seeing all the info the guides show. Is there something I am leaving out? the debug console shows... Thanks in advance

1. run EQBCS.EXE
2. in EQ, do: /bccmd reconnect
3. in EQ do: /bccmd set autoconnect on
4. Profit
 
Kaen is correct. You'll also want to make sure that /plugin mq2eqbc load
is done in game.

EQBCS is the server
MQ2EQBC is the client that connects to the server.

So you run EQBCS and the accounts you log into must connect to it.

Saw a very similar post to my issue but did not see a solution.

I cannot use any of the buttons like....come to me, follow me. I click it and nothing happens.

I am able to use Kissassist to control my toons but I cannot broadcast commands to my boxes.

If I Type /bccmd connect.

1755565206817.png

1755566015946.png
So it appears both EQBC and Dannet are set on.

Redguides launcher is updated.

I load all toons through the launcher.

Any ideas?
 
It has been this way for years and I just let it slide as I had people to play with....Now I am trying to play solo...and I can't (ex. trying to have 3 toons use clickie item in a mission at same time).
 
make sure your firewall allowed it to run/has exception for it. also check in your config folder mq2eqbc.ini looks legit

use mq2dannet temporarily to issue /dgae /plugin mq2eqbc unload -- or /plugin mq2eqbc unload
then reload plugin and do /bccmd connect again and debuf as needed

also, check out all info under the EQBC post for all discussion/overview etc see if anything you missed for getting it working

you have to have eqbcs (the server) running, and have configured it for the in-game plugin "eqbc" to connect to it
 
Okay listen here you dumb moth

oh wait.

click start eqbc server here from right clicking on the mq icon in your sys tray.

it pops up a window that looks like this:
1755569977464.png

then

www.redguides.com

Utility - MQ2EQBC - Extra info

www.redguides.com www.redguides.com

in game do both of these:
Code: 
/bccmd connect 127.0.0.1 2112
/bccmd set autoconnect on

since i usually already have a bunch of toons on when i remember to launch eqbc - i use dannet to reconnect them /dg all /bccmd reconnect

I personally use dannet and eqbc which helps me manage my various groups and activities across multiple pcs

i merged your post into the eqbcs discussion thread.
for eqbc you need a few things

mq2eqbc loaded on all your toons
eqbcs (this is the eqbc server) running somewhere
your eqbc configured (instruction tab)
windows needs to be allowing this connection to work

most automation that i'm aware dont rely on eqbc or dannet (which is a defaulted on plugin) to assist or broadcast for assistance.
depending on your automation you'll need to do things like:
- ensure you're telling it who to assist
- - kissassist you start with the command to start it /kissassists assist Dudebro, for example
- - for cwtn and many other things, you want your group main assist and group main tank assigned in your group window
