MQ2 on Test

Post by jon » Wed Jun 09, 2004 1:16 pm

Greetings,

I've just installed MQ2, I tried running it on a production server and it seems to work just fine. However when I load up the Test Server Nothing loads at all (No Enhanced by MacroQuest 2 splash screen, no MQ window. Is it possible to run MQ2 on Test if so what do I need to change to do so. My first guess is __ClientName from EQGAME to TESTEQGAME but I'd like to make sure before i go mucking around in the source code. I understand that things are liable to break really fast on Test and be unsupported, but test is my home and I just want a forage/fishing macro.

The answer would be no, since Test has a different version of EQgame.exe than the normal servers. MQ is designed and updated for the production servers, as far as I know.

Data gets changed far to often on the Test Server, it'd be unfeasable to have to get all the offsets over and over on a sometimes daily basis just to keep MQ working.

It would be very usefull to have MQ2 working on the test server when the testeqgame.exe and eqgame.exe are the same. This probably happens a lot of the time.

To try this you would need to set __ClientName to "testeqgame" and __ClientOverride to 1 in the file eqgame.h

If the test and normal versions of eqgame are the same, MQ2 will run. If they are different, MQ2 and/or EQ will crash. Good luck!
