Question - Multiple EQ folders using MQ2 on same computer (plugin / UI questions)

[deathlock]

So, just started running 6 accounts on 1 computer. I am using 2 Eq folders and one MQ2 folder. Using EQbcs.

Is there a protocol for how to load plugins for each toon?
How does the MQui files know I am using 2 different folders?
Should I be using 2 eq folders?

I notice when I log in I have to plugin / unload plugins depending on the toon.

Any advice?

Is it possible for you to just mklink the custom ui folder for one eq dir and then mq2 will just update the selected eq install?

the mq2 will default use the selected dir, but once you loaded eq from a different folder and mq2 is injected/plugins are initialised it will not see the alternate folder and you're unload/load is what forces it to refresh and work

In the past i don't recall having any real issues using multiple directories, but i didn't do it regularly

I use multiple folders for my eq, but they all use the same MQ2 plugins as such so it doesn't matter.
I am assuming your talking about files such as MQUI.Notepadwindow.xml file?
Since I use custom UI anyway I just copy them to all EQ ui folders.
