New User Walkthrough - Page 2: EQ2Chars.inc

EQ2Chars.inc

First thing you have to do, is setup a file called EQ2chars.inc. This file contains private information the bot needs to complete some functions. This file is used for the following reasons:

• Auto-logging toons in
• Allowing other toons to give commands (such as making you a leader)
• Responding to events from characters (such as accepting group invites, or accepting a res)
• Connecting to other computers via Innerspace's uplink

Navigate to the following directory: /scripts/EQ2OgreCommon/DoNotShareWithOthers/

In here you will find 2 files, Blank.EQ2Chars.inc and readme.txt. First thing you need to do, is rename the file from "Blank.EQ2Chars.inc" to "EQ2Chars.inc". Now edit the file (you can right click -edit).

The first function you should see is:

function SetUpUplink()
{
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[Computername1]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[Computername2]
}

Change the "Computername#" to the names of the other computers you wish to connect too. If you have more than 2 computers, simply add more. Here are a few examples:

Example 1: Connecting to 1 other computer named "Kannkor1"

function SetUpUplink()
{
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[Kannkor1]
}

You will notice I simply deleted the extra line.

Example 2: Connecting to 5 other computers"

function SetUpUplink()
{
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[Kannkor1]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[Kannkor2]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[Kannkor3]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[Kannkor4]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[Kannkor5]
}

More computers, just add more lines.
