- The integrity checker is now 714% faster (or something).
- Updated mq2autologin, its not going to crash you ever again (well in theory at least)
So, look, mq2autologin has been overhauled, and I also figured out where the serverids
are being stored, this means that from now on you can place server shortnames in the mq2autologin.ini
and as long as they have a server LONGNAME that matches what you see in the server select list it will be able to log you in.
This is particularly useful on emulator login servers that assign dynamic IDs.
NOTE2: for live servers, like tunare and drinal for example, those really ARE the real shortnames so I use those.
BUT for emu servers, I have no idea what their shortanmes are, sometimes they dont even use a "short name", but instead, they use like a really long one with
spaces in it and so on, so I HIGHLY recommend you stick to a short name with no spaces in it, especially IF you are using the new MQ2 login feature on
the tray icon because eqgame only accepts 30 character commandlines so having a really long "shortname" will definaltely break that type of login for you...
bottomline, the mq2 login feature doesn't really care if the shortname is fake or real, it will use whatever is in your profile when it look them up in the ini.
NOTE3: for live and test servers, obviously the staic id of those servers is still valid, and mq2autologin will still be able to look those up internally
like it always have, this new ini setting is mainly for emu servers, but you can of course add any server u like, even live ones.
so without further ado here is an:
Example of a [Servers] section in mq2autologin.ini (note that I have no idea if these servers even allow mq2, this is just an example)
[Servers]
tunare=Tunare - The Seventh Hammer
drinal=Drinal - Maelin Starpyre
firiona=Firiona Vie (Roleplaying Preferred)
peqtgc=[] [PEQ]The Grand Creation [legit-god]
ezserv=[] EZ Server - Custom Zones, Vendors, Quests, Items, etc
stormhav=[] Storm Haven - High-Quality Custom Content
alkabor=[] The Al'Kabor Project [

- THE BIG #pragma warnings SHOULD DIE patch...
- I have removed the #pragma warnings for depreciated string functions.
- This will absolutely break ALL your plugins.
- I am available on skype to help you fix every single one. eq.mule
- This is NOT going to be easy, but I have posted updated plugins
on macroquest2.com in every thread that I had plugin source for.
- When you get WARNINGS while buidling this version, IT MEANS, you need a fix.
- DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT ADD A PRAGMA TO FIX IT
- I'm seriously going to go ballistic if i see any more #pragma warnings
If a #pragam warning is needed we are doing it wrong.
-
- So... the whambulance will be comming for sure when you update to this version.
Sorry about that, but it was needed because I'm sick of all the buffer overflows
that are crashing us randomly and I can never get a good call stack in order to fix them.
This fix is years overdue, and I consider it crucial in order to move forward
towards a 100% stable mq2.
-
- Anyway... I made a whole bunch of stuff stringsafe
too much to list, if u have plugins that wont build
post about it or message me and ill help u fix them.
Here is a link to a post that has all my personal versions of the plugins I use, that I have fixed for this release:
-
http://www.macroquest2.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=20053
- pMQ2Blech is no longer an export, create your own Blechs, cause hooking into that one is no longer an option.
(this means mq2moveutils need to be updated see above link for updated plugins.)
