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).

Setuping up the Uplink

The first function is the Uplink. This allows you to connect to other computers.

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.

Setuping up Character information

The next function is used to setup your character information.

NOTE - You don't technically need to fill this information out. It is 100% secure as only your computer uses this information. You should NEVER share this file with anyone, not even me - ever. If you are not comfortable filling this out, you do not have too. You will just limit some of the functionality. Either way, continue reading as filling out part of the information will add to functionality.

The next function should look like this:

function SetUpChars()
{
variable int TempCounter=1
CharInfo[${TempCounter},1]:Set[ToonName]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},2]:Set[Password]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},3]:Set[LoginName]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},4]:Set[ServerName]
TempCounter:Inc
CharInfo[${TempCounter},1]:Set[ToonName]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},2]:Set[Password]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},3]:Set[LoginName]
CharInfo[${TempCounter},4]:Set[ServerName]
}
