Plugin - MQ2EQBC (2 Viewers)

[Sic]

EQBCS Server? Yes, I started it on Lauching MQ2. Like I said there were no issues until after the patch and it also wiped out all my character profiles under the MQ2 Menu. Not sure what's going on but it is just not working .

that sounds like you are launching macroquest from a location that you don't usually launch it from.

check the redguides launcher settings tab and ensure it is pointing where you expect it to be pointing.

the launcher has no metho dof "wiping out your character profiles" which means you are likely having a duplicate install.

Thank you very much SiC. You hit it right on the head. The new launcher install was defaulting to a different folder than where everything actually was. So thank you!! The next thing I need to figure out is how to properly write code into my MQ2React .yaml file so that I can beat Shei. I keep wiping at 2% - 5% left to go and I am not sure why other than those pesky adds. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If I do BYOS on the CWTN Plugins ...does that mean I must run the toon myself or is that just to replace a couple spells that you'd like to use but not the major ones used by the plugin? Do you or someone else think they could give me a hand with creating a .yaml file for my Enchanter so that he will mez/charm those ugly little adds in the SHei event that would make them poof. I watched your vid and you seemed to not have any issues at all with that group and my group is much higher level and better geared than when you did that vid. However, the result is what I have already posted. Thanks again for pointing out the obvious as to why my MQ2 was not working.

Should I name the BYOS Spell Set a particular name and where would I place this in the macro/plugin so that it chooses that file set and not the default? I would like to get my .yaml file for MQ2React to get my Bard, Shaman, and Enchanter doing the things necessary to get those ugly bald-headed aliens to poof instead of beating on my tank. A lot to ask, sorry, but you seem to have all the answers that I seek. Have a blessed day and I will look forward to hearing your suggestions.

if you are asking about the cwtn plugins for byos, you should watch the byos custom video where i explain it - the things you just asked are not things it does.

How do I connect to EQBC server

 

[Sic]

Hello OLOT, you will definitely want to look at the > MQ2EQBC overview < there are some tabs there with "Instructions" and "Commands, and "Overview" etc

There is also a video at the top




/bccmd connect 127.0.0.1 2112
/bccmd set autoconnect on

tl;dr
run the eqbc server (dont close it)
have the plugin loaded on your characters /plugin mq2eqbc load
connect to it /bccmd connect 127.0.0.1 2112

 

[OLOT]

Thank You for helping

I could not find the answers I was looking for via search so here goes. How do I set up 1 instance of EQBCS on 1 computer and have toons on another computer connect to it? I have run toons on 2 different computers but the follow me, come to me, and mimic me functions do not cross to the other computer. I assume it has something to do with changing the 127.0.0.1 IP to that of the computer that runs the main instance of EQBCS.

you need to have computer 2 connect to the local ip of computer 1 (where the eqbcs is running).

127.0.0.1 is "home"

 

[zanial]

Sorry Sic, I need more explanation, software is not my forte. I set the .ini file to connect to the 198.x.x.x:2112 of the main computer and nothing.

did you click on the stuff above? what step specifically did you have trouble with

> this thing here < is a guide on how to do exactly what you're asking about

on computer 2 you just /bccmd connect 192.168.x.xxx:2112 whatever is the ip for your eqbc server (on computer 1)

you will need to make sure your local network / firewall is allowing those connections to happen

or you can also use dannet and there is no server

 

[foromoro]

Has anyone got EQBC running on a raspberry pi? If so, any guides on how to do so? Would love to offload EQBC to another platform than run it on my machine. For no real reason, really.

There is nothing wrong with that window. that is EQBCS which is a server that your characters connect to in order to communicate with each other.

 

[ukdengue]

so that window stay open all the time?

 

[Sic]

so that window stay open all the time?

yes, if you use eqbc, the eqbc server window remains open

 

[ukdengue]

once again thank you and sorry to have wasted your time /bow

 

[Sic]

once again thank you and sorry to have wasted your time /bow

no time wasted

if you're not already, i would suggest using dannet (i personally use both)

dannet doesn't have a server to run

 

[ukdengue]

thank you again and you are correct i am still learning which is still hard after the accident but i will get there /bow

I usta be able to talk to my group with the /bcga //rg on command, now it isn't working any ideas?

it usta show the toons as they connected, now they don't

Do you have EQBC going? Try /bccmd connect and see what it says.

 

[Thehub]

yes

Tells me I have to /bccmd quit cause I am already connected

 

[Teichou]

make sure you only have one server running.

 

[Thehub]

 

[Thehub]

I tried to restart EQBCS and said it was running already FYI

 

[Thehub]

this is a fresh launch from the red guide launcher



it just isn't showning the group as they connect, and I can't do group commands, that is the problem I am haven, everything else works.

I can't do the /bcga //rg on command, the toon I do it on sends it to the MQ window, just the other toons are not receiving it

that image doesn't really have anything to do with anything.

I would restart your computer, ensure you don't have antivirus/defender holding any EQ or MQ files hostage - you may need to add a firewall exception for eqbcs, and reload your toons, launching eqbcs with the redguides launcher

where it says connected on the bottom there, it usta say my toons name, it does that same thing on all toons, I usta see them pop up as they logged in, I have not had any problem tell I made toons on VoX, cause I bought a krono, thinking it would go to my char on Cazaic, then when I came back to my char on Cazic this started, I can't get the toons on VoX to work right either, I did the commands on VoX as follows

/bccmd connect

/bccmd set autoconnect on


/mac rgmercsinstall


I did that on all the guys on VoX server, like I said then I went back to Cazic and all this happened, I can't do group commands anymore, I didn't change anything, was working great tell I made the new guys on VoX server.

when I say group commands I am talking about the

/bcga //rg on usta turn on all my charaters, all it does now is shows that my main char sent it, doesn't pop on other toons MQ window like it usta.


I did restart computer, and I always redguide to control my computer FYI sic, thanks about man]

Hope I explained it better, thanks for your understanding and patience.

 

[Sic]

i removed your character names, please try and take care not to post them

 

[Thehub]

ok thanks, any ideas? think I should uninstall red guide laucher and reinstall it? The group commands is the only thing not working

uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't do anything in this instance.

did you follow the previous suggestions? because you said you restarted, but you didn't say you did the other things i suggested.

checking AV/defender for hostage/quarantine
check that eqbcs isn't denied in your windows firewall

I would strongly recommend making the move over to dannet as that is the suggested default.

just to make sure you're following the steps to use as you should, have you reviewed the video on the > overview <

nothing is quarantine, and eqbcs is allowed, I will try and get Dannet is turned on in the plugin manager also with eqbcs

the below picture the connecting to 127.0.0.1 2112...
connected!
shows on my end, the reast of that where it says mytoonname has joined the server and down doesn't show fyi hope that helps

my guys basically are not join the server it looks like to me

Well. Disconnect them and have them connect to it.

Like teichoi said, don't run more than 1 server .

If it is on same PC the 127.0.0.1 is fine, if other PC, specify the local IP address the server is running on

Please stop posting your toon names.
Please.

it is on one computer, and the toons names where from the video you sent me to, they are not my toons

Nevermind I uninstalled redguide launcher and reinstalled it and it works fine now have a good day

Do you have EQBC going? Try /bccmd connect and see what it says.

FYI just uninstall redguide launcher and reinstall it fixes the issue thanks for your time and energy

make sure you only have one server running.

Just had to uninstall redguide laucher and reinstall it now it is working great thanks for your time and energy

 

[Teichou]

that makes like 0% sense to me how that would fix it

 

[Sic]

yup, it is coincidental and not related.

sounds like a configuration was incorrect, or more than 1 was running, or other listed steps. and just "starting over" means doing all of those things

Totally agree, thanks for all the time you all spent helping me though, I am sure I did something that buggered it up, thanks again for being patient with me..

But good thing is its up and running whooot 8)


Also Sic I am sorry for always bugging yah, I am sure you got alot of people hounding you all the time, I want you to know I REALLY appresiate EVERYTHING you do

BIG HUG for you buddy

 

[studace]

After moving to new MQ - new directory and then migrated... I do see the EQBC server run in a box.. but I don't see anything connect to it (although normal commands still working).. so I'm thinking the service may still be running.. wondering if this is causing some of my other problems like autoaccept. Is there a way to remove the service and have MQ reinstall the way it wants to?
Thanks.
