auto login for DUMMIES! Main & Alt Grp

[popo]

I've seen variations of posts that discuss bits and pieces, but can someone help me out with a step by step for Auto Loading 5 Toons on one PC using IS Boxer? I read the wiki and made a shortcut....but, I think I screwed that up too. Now you know the level of skill your dealing with. lol

any and all help much appreciated.

How to setup Auto Login?

I don't use isboxer, but I assume that's 1 click to load the sessions.

Once the sessions are open, Ogre login should automatically use those existing sessions.

Few things to keep in mind, ISXOgre must auto load when the sessions load. When I get more time I'll try to make a better walkthrough.

Kankor I think this has become so much second nature to you that you are missing our bewilderment.

What I expect, and I think the original poster does too, is:

. start innerspace on computer,
. select 'isBoxer Character Sets' --> 'mine'
. sessions start and load through the EQ login screen and character select to my 1-6 toons sitting waiting for me to start Ogre or whatever.

What I see after the sessions start is a series of login screens waiting for me to type usernames, passwords, toon names and servers.

What would be nice (additional functionality you do not currently claim, not expecting any delivery time, no slaughtering of small children please:evil is for a group to form and ogre to load (ogremcp on the group leader).

Yea.. a lot is second nature for me..

What I meant is, this should be the process.
- Start innerspace
- Select isBoxer Character sets
- Sessions load and are sitting at the login screen.
- Hit OgreAutoLogin icon on desktop, all 6 are logged in and ogrebot is loaded.

OgreMCP can be saved on the Settings tab so it loads when ogre does. As for the group - make an ingame macro to invite, they will auto accept

So....two items:
1. How to auto load ext isxogre when I select my character sets via isBoxer?
2. Step by Step on creating OgreAutoLogin icon and files that associate to it for 2 different grps...Main & Alt grps.

am I missing something?

- Start innerspace (done)
- Select isBoxer Character sets (done)
- Sessions load and are sitting at the login screen. (done)
- Hit OgreAutoLogin icon on desktop, all 6 are logged in and ogrebot is loaded. (not done)

1) On the IS game profile that ISBoxer uses for your character set, add ext isxeq2 into the startup sequence.

2) It's on the Ogre wiki

 

[popo]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I do envy your ability to quickly answer questions with your vast knowledge. And, I completely understand this is more of a "lazy" feature as I manually login 2 grps over 5 accounts often....But, your answers only got me so far.

"1) On the IS game profile that ISBoxer uses for your character set, add ext isxeq2 into the startup sequence."
Took me forever to find this, but I did.....

For those less talented like myself:
Innerspace - Right Click - Configuration
Game Configuration Tab
Select EverQuest II
Drop Down - Profiles for EverQuest II
Select No Patch
Select Startup
Select Insert
Name = Load Ogre
Command = ext isxogre
Finished

"2) It's on the Ogre wiki"
Go to Wiki answers I always enjoy....I've spent some time on this page before. I will revisit.
Well...there is allot of info on this page. I cannot articulate where all my roadblocks were during the process of deciphering the Wiki. I will just manually load for now.

thx.

 

[Deugar]

Instead of just adding isxeq2 also add isxogre.

Start the isboxer profile.

with one box you might not need to start the ogre connect.
but you can give it a try.

then run the script for autologin your toons.
make sure your eq2chars.inc file includes all the info on your toons.
and the eq2uplink info is there:
function SetUpUplink()
{
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[PC1]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[PC2]
}

set the toons to load into what instance you want them too. I try to keep the toons on one account on the same instance all the time. makes it easier to relog toons.

 

[popo]

thanks Deugar....
Earlier I made it as far as:
clicking my "Shortcut"
Ogre Login Box in front of me....I saw a few characters (must have done that awhile back). I proceeed to edit my character file to add all toons. When I got back to the Ogre Auto Login....my drop-down for character list was empty now. I rebooted, etc...still nothing. I gave up before I punched my monitor. lol

 

[Deugar]

you probably have one of them formated wrong. so go back and check that.

function SetUpChars()
{
variable int TempCounter=1
CharInfo[${TempCounter},1]:Set[Toon1]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},2]:Set[Password
CharInfo[${TempCounter},3]:Set[Account]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},4]:Set[Server]
TempCounter:Inc
CharInfo[${TempCounter},1]:Set[Toon2]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},2]:Set[Password
CharInfo[${TempCounter},3]:Set[Account]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},4]:Set[Server]
}

i had the correct format for all 10 toons. when I deleted the additional toons on same account. I.e. only 5 in character file, I now see the 5 in the character list.

so, how do I make Main & Alt from here?

 

[Deugar]

if you use isboxer, you will put your toons into the autologin script as main tank in is1, then go on down the list from there.

But there is no limit on number of toons you can have the the char.inc file. i have all of mine from 6 accounts in mine.

Well, there is a limit.. I believe it's 500. It's one of those things that is 4 years old and needs to be changed to a resizable container, instead of a hardcoded array.. but I don't think anyone has exceeded the 500.

 

[popo]

after all I've tried so far I'm happy with just seeing the 5 toons. Now, if I could only get it to load.
I start IS Boxer for my 5 Man Setup. I see 4 mini & 1 main screen. Login Box is up with Username already filled in with whatever login was used last.

I click my shortcut
Select the 5 Toons I want to load.
Select Load & Exit
"Running"
nothing changes on my screens.

Then....

I manually loaded all 5 toons (1 toon different name)
While all 5 toons in game I selected shortcut
Select 5 Toons...(remembering 1 out of the 4 was NOT logged in) I was assuming the one would log out and the correct toon would login.
but....
All 4 toons that matched my selection logged out to login screen.
nothing else happened.

Any suggestions? I only post one help request per couple years....get me through this and you won't hear from me until 2013!

 

[Deugar]

You have to change the default login screen with the one in the DoNotShareWithOthers directory. all 4 boxes should be blank when you click the login button.

just copy the eq2ui_loginscene.xml file over the one for your UI.

I'm also at the point of trying to get my toons to auto login, I have read through this thread and also the documentation on this page:

http://eq2.ogregaming.com/wiki/index.php?title=OgreOther:AutoLogin

But I'm still a bit fuzzy on what exactly I'm supposed to do, I'm wondering if there is a more detailed step by step walkthrough for noobs like me who don't understand what the the hell their doing?

Seems I'm supposed to make folder called OgreAutoLogin with a new script (with all the information from EQ2Chars.inc) in it. Then create a shortcut on my desktop to run this script after my character set is loaded up on all computers.

What I'm not following is #1) how to make this desktop shortcut (with parameters), and why I just can't have it point to the EQ2Chars.inc file directly.



Also, I've got each toons' mini-windown + main window after typing 'ogre' (IE "Inquisitor window", "Assassin window", etc, uplink windows too) But for some reason when I try to load the MCP after typing "Ogre MCP" it gives me this:

Loading [M]aster [C]ontrol [P]anel...
Script file 'eq2Ogrebot/MCP/LoadOgreMCP' not found
RunScript 'eq2Ogrebot/MCP/LoadOgreMCP' failed
Loading [M]aster [C]ontrol [P]anel...
Script file 'eq2Ogrebot/MCP/LoadOgreMCP' not found
RunScript 'eq2Ogrebot/MCP/LoadOgreMCP' failed]

Not sure why it finds everything else just fine but MCP isn't there.

 

[insanitywiz]

Thats a new one to me, but you could probably fix it by doing a ISXOgre:Repatch[1] and repatching all your Ogre files. WARNING, this will wipe out your ogre spell exports and any other custom changes (such as custom MCP buttons for those that have gotten it to work).

I've read through the wiki and all the threads I could find on this subject and I'm still having a bit of trouble getting autologin to work. I am using ISBoxer and attempting to autologin a full group, all run on the same computer.

I've got my group set up in ISBoxer and can launch the group to the login screen with no problems. I have copied over the login scene file to the ProfitUI folder and all fields for the login are blank.

I have added all my characters correctly (triple checked this) to the chars.inc file. I have created a shortcut on the desktop as follows: C:\Games\InnerSpace\InnerSpace.exe runscript eq2ogrecommon/ogreautologin/autologin

When I use the shortcut, Innerspace launches, I get the uplink window, and the Ogre Auto Login window also opens. All my characters are in the dropdown list. I select my tank, choose computername1 and IS1, then add selection. Then I add the other 5 characters, also on computername1, with Any for sessions. I then typed a profile name in the box on the right and clicked "save profile". Clicking "Load Toons and Exit" at this point makes that button gray out with "running" for a while, but nothing happens except the autologin window eventually closes.

Am I missing something somewhere??

 

[bjcasey]

Try selecting individual IS sessions for your other 5 instead of ANY. That's the way I have mine set up and it works well.

 

[Miri]

Okay finally got it working. Turns out I forgot to change "computername1" to match the name of the computer. Duh!

Have not yet figured out how to make it automatically form the group after all are logged in, but that's a minor thing as I can just set a macro in the game to do that.

Thanks for the help!

 

[cybs]

I don't know if you can make it automatically form a group (Like some kind of post load in action), but I created a macro ingame with:

/invite <Toon>
/invite <Another toon> ....etc.

If you've set up your EQ2Chars.inc correctly and Accept Invites is selected under settings, all of your toons will automatically accept the group invite and begin buffing, auto follow... etc.

I have a question about the session list in the (ogre auto login - UI Ver:1.00)by default it has 8 sessions! can you add more sessions? and if so how? or can I just put any in there and it will just keep logging in how ever many toons I put in my list?

Thanks

You want it to load more than 8 sessions on a single computer?

I suspect you can put any, I don't see a reason why I would have limited it to 8 (I can see I only added is8 to the drop down).

 

[Kevinshp]

just putting any on the last one worked. and yes running 9 on one comp!
