/login on shortcut

One of the posts in this forum mentions adding /login:accountname to the target field for the EQ shortcuts. Has anyone else had issues with this? I'm using Titanium and it doesn't change the account fields. Curious if anyone knows what's up.

Maybe it doesn't work for Titanium - this is what I have for UF:

C:\everquest\eqgame.exe patchme /login:kojak

i fiddled around with that a while ago to execute multiple sessions like that in a .bat file, but could not get it to work.
i then forgot about it.

so...how would you do that?

when i just put it like this it gives me an error about GUI and XML and all those nice abbreviations:

Code: Select all

c:\blabla\eqgame.exe patchme /login:session1
c:\blabla\eqgame.exe patchme /login:session2
c:\blabla\eqgame.exe patchme /login:session3


a START before every line doesnt help either.

any help appreciated!

What you COULD do, and I'll try this when I get home, is write a master batch file that calls other batch files.

Example:

Masterbat.bat

Call session1.bat
Call session2.bat
Call session3.bat
Call session4.bat
Call session5.bat


session1.bat:

c:\blabla\eqgame.exe patchme /login:session1

session2.bat:

c:\blabla\eqgame.exe patchme /login:session2

session3.bat:

c:\blabla\eqgame.exe patchme /login:session3


etc etc


if my ms-dos memory doesnt fail me, what this will do is CALL the first batch file, when that batch file completes the master batch will move on to the next one.


Or I guess you could just create a shortcut with each session information in it, select all right click and open.



What I want is a program that will launch my eqgame's that will log me into a specific character and place me in the eq world. I dont ask for much :)
