I have just recently gotten back into EQ to play on some emulator servers and needed my MQ fix (EQ without MQ is no world I want to live in) and have been getting caught up on just how much has happened since I quit playing in ~2008/9.
One of the first things I downloaded outside of MQ was WinEQ2, which was a stable for me when I was playing before mainly because of the session hotkeys and being able to quickly hop on to a specific toon from any other toon without trying to click on the particular session in the taskbar.
Then I saw MQ2AutoLogin and EQLaunch and definitely wanted to be able to launch a set of instances, and I can get EQLaunch to autologin and bring in a whole group of toons without issue, but I am severely missing the session hotkeys from WinEQ2, and even though WinEQ2 has EQPlayNice disabled, it still feels like that client is just a little less resource intense on my machine than running the eqgame.exe sessions that EQLaunch is generating.
So, my question is:
Is it possible to have EQLaunch trigger WinEQ2 sessions? Or is there someway I can assign a specific session hotkey to a particular EQLaunch session (Ctrl+Alt+1, etc)?
I have also seen where people have created a batch program to kick off WinEQ2 and used autologin such like the following:
start /d "c:\WinEQ2" WinEQ2.exe /plugin:WinEQ2-EQ.dll "Sessionname" /login:sessionname
and I had that working with a different version of MQ2, but since I swapped to your compiled version I haven't been able to get it working, even when I copied my MQ2AutoLogin.ini file over from the previous version. So I'm not sure what is different between the old version of MQ2Autologin I was using and the version in your compile, and I'm not sure what version of MQ2AutoLogin I was using before. All I know is I don't want to manually enter passwords for 12 toons to get started boxing, and I DO have EQLaunch working successfully launching, but am REALLY missing the session hotkeys (and some performance) from the WinEQ2 client.
I used to compile my own MQ2, but definitely saw the value here with what you guys provide. Thank you so much!
