After hours of trial and error, I finally got MQ2's autologin working. I have this setup so there is an icon for each of my characters on the desktop. I just click on the characters I want to play and they log all the way into the game.
1. Go to your MQ2 folder and open up MQ2AutoLogin.ini. If for some reason you dont have one, create it. Here is what you need.
[Settings]
KickActiveCharacter=1
InstantCamp=0
UseStationNamesInsteadOfSessions=1
UseINIServerList=1
[ServerList]
HiddenForest=12
[Account]
Password=your PW
Server=HiddenForest
Character=Character you want to log in
[Account]
Password=your PW
Server=HiddenForest
Character=Character you want to log in
Repeat for every account/character you play.
One caveat, the server number can change. So if you get stuck at the server select screen, the server number has changed. Here is how you check for the server number. Go to your EQ install folder and open up eqlsPlayerData.ini. You will see the following which gives the server number.
[MISC]
LastServerID=12
So if the number changes, just edit the HiddenForest=# line under [ServerList] in the MQ@AutoLogin.ini file.
2. Next we can create a shortcut for each character we play.
Go to your eq install folder again. Right click on the eqgame.exe file and make a shorcut.
eqgame.exe - Shortcut
Right click on the newly created shortcut file and click properties. In the Target: box, after eqgame.exe put a space, then type patchme /login:accountname. Be sure to type in your account name and not the actual words accountname. Click apply and OK. Now right click on this newly created file and select rename. Name the file your characters name. Lastly, right click on the file again and select send to desktop.
Congrats, you now can click on your characters name and he/she will log all the way into the game.
You can repeat the last step for every character you play.
If you have any troubles, send a tell in game to Sevey and I will be happy to provide what assistance I can. Just don't ask for help with ISboxer since I don't use it.
