Of course all this is done to avoid any aditional programs because we love our computer simply, it's so much more effective.
Attention, like everything I do that will sting the eyes.
- THF Login server analysis via eqhost.txt
- 4 computers flexible, because we love the cloud, two location possible
- Master and Alt install directory setup
- Auto lock the EQCLIENT.INI
- Auto launch if needed Eqplaynice, Macroquest, Eqbcs
- Session bots launched by order
Need to be configure the CONFIGURATION section, and each USER STARTING section with your login and toon name
Make a Launcher.cmd file and copy that code. And adapt it to your needs, of course
