MacroQuest (core) - Running both Test & Live MQ2 compiles at the same time (1 Viewer)

[Redbot]

What this does:
Allows you to run Macroquest2 on both Live & Test servers at the same time, on the same machine. This is made easier by eqmule's recent changes.



Requirements:
1) You need to have two separate Everquest folders, one for live, and one for test.
2) You need to have two seperate MQ2 folders, one for live, and one for test.

How to do it:
Open the Macroquest.ini file in your Very Vanilla Test folder. Make the change:

from

MacroQuestWinClassName=__MacroQuestTray

to

MacroQuestWinClassName=__MacroQuestTrayTest

That's it.


Bonus:
Did you know you can use the same account for live & test servers at the same time?

PS:
New installations of Very Vanilla Test can do this by default, no edits necessary.

With this enhancement, can you run the same toon on both Live and Test at the same time?

Yes! It's like an alternate dimension

When I do this with latest live and test, I experience one of two issues:

1) While I'm logged in on Live, I load up test and it crashes me out of live.
2) While I'm logged in on Live, Test thinks my toon is already loaded and does nothing with MQ2Autologin

What am I doing wrong? Is there a right way to load into both? At the moment, I cannot.

Test: Sept 22
Live: Sept 14

Thanks in advance.
