Question - macroquest.ini settings (1 Viewer)

[rojadruid]

I am not sure it this has been asked or not but I really did not find anything using search about it, but being older I may not be using the correct terms to look. But here goes.

Is there a way in the macroquest.ini to set a different macro, config, Lua and plugins folder? So that multiple computers running MQ2 can all use the same directories? Or is that something that is hardcoded and cannot be changed?

Here's an example of mine

[MacroQuest]
MQIniPath=E:\RedGuides\Next\mqnext\build\bin\release\config\MacroQuest.ini

ConfigPath=E:\RedGuides\Next\mqnext\build\bin\release\config
MacroPath=E:\RedGuides\Next\mqnext\build\bin\release\macros
LogPath=whatever
CrashDumpPath=whatever
PluginPath=whatever
ResourcePath=E:\RedGuides\Next\mqnext\build\bin\release\resources

you can't do luapath the same way, unfortunately

It is generally recommended against using shared folders for things that read/write frequently as you can end up with file locking or other readwrite issues

Awesome thank you for the reply. This is what I was looking for.

You mention that its not done the same way. In which way would it be managed?

you can change it in your mq2lua.yaml file, but not in the macroquest.ini

Awesome thank you.

You might run into some issues running across a network - I tried this, and across a gigabit wired network, I had MAJOR lag on the three computers that were using the network shared folders on the 4th computer. So - proceed with caution, and make sure you can undo what you do if needed..

Is this not a valid place to change it as well?

This would be the best place to change it
