I thought to use my leader-char without changes in the EQ-folder and change the 5 other folders to minimum as you explained in this topic.   Is this a good way of thinking ?

This is the most common arrangement I know of, solid thinking.

There's nothing to worry about regarding those lines absence from your eqclient.ini file. While it wouldn't hurt to add them, they should already be in effect if you followed the guide accurately.

Sound and environment sounds are options you can adjust through in-game options. The models, texture compression, and lighting settings are adjustable through the OptionsEditor.exe settings.

StickyFigures will make a large difference concerning your memory usage. I would try it out and see how you like it.

Hi Blurring,

StickyFigures : will surely try this out 

Thanks for the info and letting me know that I'm on the right track.

Kind regards,
Alrazor

I'm using UF and have 6 clients/chars in 6 different EQ-folders. 

Unless you feel the need to customize the ini per character, using 6 installs for 6 clients is only using up HD space. No idea why people still mistakenly believe it does something for them but if your happy with it keep at it.

[Blurring]

Aye sorry Alrazor I misread that.

As Balx2 said there is no need for 6 different EQ installations. 1 for graphics, 1 for bots. One case where you might want multiple installations is when you have multiple hard drives to use.

For unique eqclient.ini's, I would still reccomend using WinEQ2 free settings to do this, over creating multiple installations.

[alrazor]

Hi Blurring,

Let's recap.: For launching the game I do the following :
1/ launch EQBC.exe
2/ launch MQ2.exe
3/ launch EQ graphic-char from 1 basic-installation without tweaking (full graphics)
4/ launch other bots-char from one and the same installation

Now you're are talking about WINEQ2 which I never used.  I'm willing to if it could give a better gameplay, but I have no experience with this.   On the internet, I found WinEQ2 2.14, but also a a LITE-version.  Which one should I choose?   Other question is, does WINEQ2 replace a program such as MQ2 or EQBC ?

Would be nice to help me on this.

Kind regards,
ALRAZOR

Hi again,

In the meantime I tried to use WINEQ2, which is working, but aparently it's blocking my MQ2.  With the result that all my macro's aren't working anymore 

Any ideas 

Alrazor

[Kovou]

go into options and turn off eqplaynice you no longer need it..and wineq2 should never block mq2....instead of loading like you have load like this
(after turning off eqplaynice via wineq2)
1/wineq2
2/mq2
3/eqbc
4/load in main char (full graphics/unedited)
5/ start loading in other toons with altered install (your 2nd eqfolder that is edited)

This is how i've always done it and how it has worked for me for ages

[alrazor]

Hi Kovou,

OK, this is a very clear answer.  I apreciate 
Wil try this out as soon as I'm getting home (18h00 Belgian Time  )

Bye,
Alrazor

[alrazor]

Hi guys,

Seems to be working 
Blurring & Kouvou, thanks again for the support 

Have now to figure out how WINEQ2 exactly works an what the benifits are, besides lowering memory use.

Kind regards,
Alrazor

What I use it for is to position my windows in the same place everytime, and for the hotkeys to switch between them easily.

Thanks for post and comments, very big boxing improvement.

toons now eat 300Mo (800x600), and main 450 (1024x768)
(without stick figures and mq2test, and far clip plane for toons at 10 instead of 0)

loaded 2 mains and 5 toons so far, just using 3Go and it's very smooth
(dualcore e6600, p5k, 4Go, 8800gts640Mo, mains on main HD, toons on second HD, 3*8Go page files on 3 different HD, win7x64, UF client)

more tests to do but it's already nice, thanks again

i recently starting using the 1 line global load file posted here and has been an amazing improvement but notice that i crash in a few zones, namely Abyss & poair. Any way to fix this?


edit: nevermind....a little more searching and i found this and works flawlessly, thanks xiggie

I thought it might crash on you. Here is another one that a friend worked out.

Welcome

[Goth]

I have down loaded the WinEQ file from your EZ pac file, and that requires you buy their  product to run it... is there any half descent boxing software for free?
 

[lerxst2112]

WinEQ 2 Lite is free.  You do need to register on their site though so it can log in.  http://www.lavishsoft.com/
