Hey guys, How can i remotely start up MQ2, and start the telnet server?

I have the ini file settings to enable it, do i still need to do a
/plugin telnet to start it ?? That really wouldnt be good for me.

macroquest.ini settings below:

And my mq2telnet.ini in the same folder:

; for use with the telnet server plugin -- mq2telnet

; port = 0 off, else put the port number here

; localonly boolean -- supposedly does a get peer name to compare address
; but you must use the hostname not 127.0.0.1 or localhost when connecting

Please help this stupid freaking RTFM fool!!

Remotely start MQ2? Have fun with that. You would remotely start MQ2 the same way you would remotely start EQ or your internet browser, etc.

Easy enuff to remotely start, I connect to my firewall box, telnet over to the EQ machine, and from the command line run macroquest2.exe..

I have another script set to remotely startup and login to EQ. thats no prob either.

And sure i can add something to just run /plugin telnet each time, but i figured since there was ini files with enabled= values then it should be resonable to assume that the telnetd can be started as MQ2 starts.

Flame me, flame me now.. or help - either way :)

Yes but, in order for the telnet server to work, which is in a MQ2 plugin.. MQ2Main.dll has to load.. which will not be done until EQ is running... so all you have to do is make EQ run..

maybe he means leave a telnet connection open (other then the MQ2 one) and have a script running so that if he connects to it and types in somthing it will start MQ2 and EQ,click i the i agree button, select a server, and a charicter (i'm not sure how he'd do those last 3 things), then after about 2 min he could connect to the MQ2 telnet server.....

Depending upon your access rights (admin) etc on your remote machine your connecting FROM you can use VNC http://www.realvnc.com/
Need it loaded on both boxes to run it. Basic virtual client software that works well.

Kinda lowgrade way to do it, but I can start EQ and MQ2 and character select Once its started I then use MQ2telnet.
Make sure you have the telnet plugin started from the ini file.

Its ok, I sorted it out..

VNC is good for some things, but kinda slow when tunneling thru 5 machines hehe. I just have a GUI map script which starts eq, logs in and selects server etc. But for some reason MQ wasnt starting right, all working ok now.

Cheers.
