A: Use the telnet server.

In MacroQuest.ini:

[MacroQuest]
FilterMacro=2

[Telnet Server]
Enabled=1
LocalOnly=0
Port=6969

Then, using PuTTY or another GOOD telnet program:
telnet 127.0.0.1 6969

followed these directions .. also read alot of searched posts. I still can't connect to mq2 with telnet.. any ideas?

from http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... 29&start=0

The MQ2Telnet plugin is completed and ready for you to load (settings have changed, open MQ2Telnet.ini) -- it is not loaded by default.

try adding

MacroQuest.ini:

Code: Select all

[Plugins] 
mq2telnet=mq2telnet

and looking at MQ2Telnet.ini

that's where you will find the settings you need to change to get telnet in MQ2. dkaa's quoted instructions apply to MQ1

why the f*uck would you want to edit the ini to add a plugin, just type /plugin mq2telnet

Try changing the port. Are you running a firewall of any kind? Are you trying to connect from the same pc or a different one?

Ogre_Luvr · Post by **Ogre_Luvr** » Wed Dec 24, 2003 10:42 am

same pc (tried diferent one as well)
no firewall installed .. default win XP one is disabled
pc running mq2 is set up as the dmz host (was already for another program)

port 69 doesn't work

You shouldn't be using ports below 1028 anyway...

No. The MQ Chat window is not a "true" chat window. The EQ Chat manager doesn't know about this window, and that's what /report uses. All we have done is create a window with the same look and feel (mostly) of real chat windows.

Is it ok to filter normal EQ channels into this window?

Any way to get tells added to the filter on MQ window? Last patch (or rather the recent barrage of patches) when MQ was reworked, the window no longer acts like a chat window. I used to use it for tells but now I'm out of luck
