MQ stores files locally. So all settings are local to the computer you are using. Only way this doesn't apply is if you're using some kind of file syncing like onedrive/dropbox etc.

Once I understood how this worked (and I made a batch file from it to help me out) I was able to recover several accounts that I stored stuff on and then lost the info to. Thank you so much!
Hi all,
I had to do a wipe of my C:\ Drive to upgrade windows. I saved an image of my old drive that I can recover specific files from.
I've just reinstalled Redguides launcher and of course all my login profiles are gone (no surprise). Were the login profiles kept in an encrypted file somewhere that I can go recover and drag into the appropriate file in my new install? I can hunt down all the passwords and logins but it won't be quick and I'd prefer to skip that if I can.
Thanks in advance!

You're going to look for MQ2AutoLogin.ini.
Is there a way to tell Autologin to open certain EQ windows on certain monitors? My use case is: i use dual monitors and am 6-boxing. I would like for my driver to be on one monitor, and the 5 other toons (who use smaller windows) to be on the other monitor. The default behavior is to open all six windows on the same monitor and then I move them as needed. Is there some ini setting that would allow me to park certain windows in certain pre-set places on start?
oh man i wish ! Every day, I do the same thing lol
Yep they all open on whichever monitor the last client was logged off from.. saves that position.. I am exactly the same as you, my driving toon on my main monitor, and the rest of my rabble on the other monitor..
How does isoboxer address this?
I was referring to manydills post about window management above, I forgot to quote him as I was on mobile. ISB has a login feature as well and I use my main on monitor one and the others on monitor 2
Hi all,
I tried to read over the Wiki but did not see a direct answer to my question. Does MQ2AutoLogin bypass the regular EQ Launcher? Please allow me to explain what or why I am asking.
Currently, I am up to around 12 accounts. The EQ Launcher only remembers the last 10 accounts. Could I use MQ2ogin to log in all 12 accounts, resources on my computer permitting? I know when you go through the launcher you have to do the Accept Terms when using an account not already listed in the drop down.
Thanks for the reply.
Be well.
P.S. Just thought about this and figure I might throw it out here. Is 32 gigs of RAM enough to run 12 accounts? The processor is a Ryzen 7 5700X. Vid card is EVGA RTX 3050.

It will feed the login information for you, so bypasses the limit of the launcher remembering accounts, the plugin "remembers" for you. I currently log in 36 at a time.
32gb is enough to run 12, each session will use less than 2gb, much less if you optimize sessions.
Thanks LW. Back in 1999 I was a one account, one toon type of guy. Since coming back to EQ last year, I have caught the boxing itch.
I will try to research session optimization and content/mini-raids doable by two groups. Again many thanks for the fast reply.
Be well. Happy gaming.

character_Blob=XXXXXX line the same for each character? Say I want to make a new group. Can I copy-paste the character to the new group with no issues?EDIT: I was worried I'd break something if I just did it, but I decided to try anyway, and it works, so there is the answer to my question

If the pc is slower ... try making 2 sets of log ins , log in like a set of 3 at a time instead of all 6 at once .. even if its the internet this would work for ya, ya just might need to make 2 log in profiles and load the second after the 1st ones done .. just a thought,,
You just responded to a post 7 years ago
was either what knightly said or because Berkz made himself an entirely new thread called MQ2AutoLogin instead of posting in the mq2autologin thread. so it got merged. XenForo doesn't think it should take you to the merged thread, and instead to the first page
I am attempting to setup an autolign profile and it launches the game, gets to the server select screen and just sits there. When I hit the "Play Everquest" button it loads to the character screen, the screen flashes black for a second then goes back to the server select screen. I am in a loop of this and can't figure out what I did wrong.
is this for emu? http://docs.macroquest.org/plugins/core-plugins/mq2autologin/#custom-server-names
if not for emu, check your spelling of your server short name
Hi, I'm having an issue since the last update.
I have a ton of accounts I mess around on/box old raids on, and I used to be able to log them all in using the Launcher and AutoLogin no problem. Since the last update, it stops working after a # of toons (maybe 52? 54-ish)? It will load up the windows, but it will not log anymore toons on. I've tried this on both my computers, I haven't changed any settings or done anything at all since the last Mq2 update. Is anyone else running into this issue?
Thanks!

I had a similar issue, this is for emu using the PEQ login server
I am making the transison from mq2 legacy to next, and getting a few glitches, this one i have sorted
Legacy autologin works fine, but when i exported the profiles and imported to next, the autologin would load each char and would go thru the login/password ok but as the character screen would normally appear it would cycle back to the login and login again, it would not go past the char select.
After some playing it seems the server shortname has to be the same as the character .ini files
eg
on Legacy in the servers section
pl=Project Lazarus
ez=EZ Server - Custom Zones Vendors Quests Items etc
works fine, but on next it just keeps cycling every character
changing the server shorname on next to
Project Lazarus=Project Lazarus
EZ (Linux) x4 Exp=EZ Server - Custom Zones Vendors Quests Items etc
works fine and log all in normally
Just for anyone having similar problems
NB
I also tried making a profile with the pl shortname prefix but still no go, so next shortname seems that it has to be what the character ini gives as the server name.
Thanks for all the work put in to this, i'm getting there

Hey guys,
Everything has been such a disaster since the patch...I can't get mq2autologin to work properly. Most of my toons just sit there at the "Logging into server, please wait..." screen forever. Some of them (2 or 3 out of many) will log in ok, but the rest are just stuck there. Have tried restarting PC, MQ is up to date, EQ is up to date. Was not a problem prior to the patch. Any ideas for this? Anyone experiencing the same?
Thanks.

sure does (in answer the the thread you posted entitled "MQ2autologin not working" - and i moved your quesiton into the autologin discussion thread).

yep, that's the "sure does" bit
well considering you say some of your toons are working, and others are not, it sounds like a potential system/resource problem.
the eq update introduced all sorts of performance issues for folks, so you might be having that happen to you.
but since it works on some of your toons i wouldn't imagine that means that autologin is fullstop broken
Ok, this was entirely my fault, but I had one toon whose info I didn't have written down anywhere, and I only had the login info on MQ2autologin. I deleted that toon from autologin, and it's no longer available via the interface or .ini.
Is there any way to look at old/cached versions of auto login to get access to this toon back or am I SOL on this one?
Thanks.

nope. the INI is the only place it was kept.
I noticed this start happening yesterday too...
Autologin wouldn't work (it just loaded to the login screen with no injections, and the auto-login profile in the username field). When I login manually, MQ window nor any CWTN windows appear. The only way to get it to work again is to delete the entire folder and reinstall everything from scratch. The only thing that has changed for me is adding the MQ2Rogue plugin which I assume was not the issue. Once I get everything installed and configured again, it will work until I log out. Then, next time I have to reinstall again before anything works again
Actually, after thinking about it for a bit longer, before this started happening, I had updated to the 7/25 version from my previous install on 7/21. Not sure if there is something with the patch maybe?

Ive been using the newest patch perfectly fine, as have hundreds (or thousands?) of other users. This sounds like a issue with either read/write permissions, or the file being locked, and once MQ shuts down it reverts to default.
Is there a specific file you are referring to so I can investigate further? The fact injections stopped working all together, I am struggling to figure out which file could be causing it.
You may not want to do this, but I use different EQ folders for different accounts. I don't remember why I started doing this, but it's been this way for years. Each account's EQ window opens where it was the last time it ran. I keep 2 on one monitor and 4 on another.
