Have a new version of my MQ2Test plugin ready for testing if anybody is interested. This is for Underfoot clients only at the moment but can be expanded if there's interest.

What it does:
-Issues the /viewport 1 1 1 1 command on background clients and issues /viewport reset on foreground client as necessary. This saves a lot of GPU work if you're running multiple clients and shouldn't effect your gameplay at all.

-Closes the raid, inventory, and map window on background clients if they are open, and reopens them if they return to the foreground client. This cuts down on CPU load tremendously if these windows are left open in the background (especially map).


I've made a number of changes to eliminate any viewport bugs. In many months of use I have never found a clients screen to stay blacked out, as has been reported in previous releases. I've also made some changes to make the plugin run more efficiently.

Please message me in game or via pm if you find any problems, if there are no problems I will add this version to the file pack. Source code also available for the wary if you message me in game

Sounds like your EQSTR_US.txt file is corrupted or missing some lines.

Or maybe its a different file.. I am not 100% sure on this one

So I've adopted all of the things this guide says to do, but I can't seem to get more than 7 boxes working smoothly.  Once I start the 8th box, my CPU usage spikes to about 90 percent and then takes 10 +minutes to load a character.

I have 8 gigs of ram, and both of the files I'm running (the nice graphic game, and the edited less harsh version) are on an SSD hard drive.  I have an additional HDD that has 8-16 gigs allowed for paging.

I'm running wineq, mq2, and eqbcs while playing and nothing else outside of very general things on my computer.  I also boxed 12+ on PEQ and never had a problem like this.

Any ideas as to why my cpu usage goes through the roof on loading?  Also, if I do wait the almost half hour it takes to load 8+ boxes, the whole process starts over again if I zone.

[Kruciel]

What's your RAM usage at? It should be pretty low running the clients like you say, but 8 gigs could easily be capped with 8 clients running, combined with windows processes and an internet browser / random background crap.

BUT, it should be easy to run at least 10 clients or more on 8 gigs with a barebone client.

[balidet]

i can run 16 toons on my laptop with 4 gigs of ram and a cheap I5 processor....go all in on main toon..stick on the rest with min clip planes and actors....you will be fine...

[Adidis]

Are you running EQplaynice in wineq2? If so you have to shut that off. MQ2 and it conflict and cause large ram usage.

[Blurring]

Here is a version of MQ2Test for the new RoF client. It is a beta version -- all features are working but I haven't played with it at length yet. Let me know if you have any troubles with it please.

If the client starts with a black screen remember you can type /viewport reset to reset things.

for some reason my bot client crashes when i zone to FG hall or T5 mini (same zone)
only fix I've found is to replace the GlobalLoad with the original

[Blurring]

If you wanted to keep the reduced global load settings, I suspect that stripping the zone file for that zone would fix your problem.

Change illsalina_chr.txt to
1
dke,dke

and see if that works.

Nice, thanks for the updated test plugin Blarr!

[Duluum]

Yeah Blarr, thanks for sharing the new MQ2MTest plugin
