hey guys, just got Ogrebot yesterday and its amazing.. everything works great got most of my bots set up.

I 6 box with 3 computers, 2 instances of EQ2 on each. I'm having a problem with getting the uplink and MCP commands to work.

- I have innerspace enabled throught the firewalls on all the comps.
- I have connections enabled in innerspace config on port 10101
- I have the computers setup in the EQ2Chars.inc

I mainly just want to get the auto follow commands working through uplink and maybe setup a button that makes them all jump =). any help is appreciated thanks

on the MCP - click "Other" - Click "Connect" wait a few seconds, then click "List IPs". Does it list your other comps? If so, it worked. if not, let us know..

Sounds like they aren't named what you think they are.

On each of your computers.. do this:
echo ${SettingXML[InnerSpace.XML].Set[Remote].GetString[Name].Escape}

That is the name of your computer. That is what you need to enter into eq2chars for Ogrebot to connect them. If any 2 computers share the same name, it won't work.

Mine isnt working since the patch. I have connect checked on innerspace with each computers unique name. I ran the little script you linked to verify the names were correct. One pc on my network had a similar name so I changed it in case it was causing it to bug. I tried swapping and running mcp on computer 2 with the same result.

Can you be more specific than "isn't working since the patch". What specifically isn't working? What happens when you do the list IPs? Since which patch? The SOE patch the other day? I haven't patched Ogre in.... nearly a week I think? And the only other thing that could patch that I would think could interfere would be innerspace. None the less... be more specific.

I tried to be but Im a noob. My mcp isnt working acrossed the network. When I click list ips on computer 1 it only shows computer one. When I run mcp on computer 2 it only shows computer 2. I also use multiplicy and recently added clipboard sharer from act. I added the sharer the same day as the last eq2 update on the 26th. When it updated on the 26th I was not able to get ogrebot to run so I assumed you updated it recently. Since that is incorrect my noob brain says maybe its something to do with the clipboard sharer. Before the 26th the mcp worked. Since the 26th it wont recognize any other ips.

Open the EQ2CHARS.INC and look for the section marked as below. Change COMPUTER1 and COMPUTER2 to match the computer name (type 'hostname' in a cmd prompt)

function SetUpUplink()
{
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[COMPUTER1]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[COMPUTER2]
}


You need to verify that the two computers are on the same network (ping COMPUTER2 from COMPUTER1)
You need to verify that the ports 10101 are open on both computers
Re-launch EQ2 sessions and then use OGRE MCP to CONNECT and it should work

/sigh. /f-myownface. I did everything I could think of. It refused to work. Spent hours on it smashing my face on the keyboard. Walked away for a half hour and whtver was f-d up randomly fixxed itself. I turned multiplicity adaware and spybot off. Maybe that was it. Maybe it wasnt. I fired multiplicity back up and its still showing the slaves ip so wish me luck.

BTW ogrebot changed my life!

Is it possible for 2 machines to work ogrebot while NOT on the same network?
Example, I have my PC at home and take my laptop to work and tether it to my phone for internet, will the up link still work with both machines?

yes it's still possible, hasn't changed since last night on irc.

whether your phone's internet connection will filter or allow it, or if your phone's internet connection has a real ip vs. a natted ip is something you can test yourself by just trying a connect.
