Profit UI Camping to another account..
 

When I go to camp to another account, my favorite thing about about this UI is that when you select the one that says something like "Skip to login for another account." It did exactly that for.. 2 days, now it wont work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it twice.. it just stopped working, it kicks me to character select every time.

Any ideas?

It's not a feature I have used, but I thought you had to start the game from everquest2.exe and not the launcher for that to work. If it isn't that, I don't know.

not sure what option youre talking about. But if you just type /camp name, it will camp right over to that guy.

As Narzoo said.

But your post made me revisit one open issue with my login/shutdown windows. You could not directly login to a character on another account by selecting it from the list at the bottom (the login screen would come up again). With the next release you will be able to camp directly to another account without passing via the login screen. Enjoy. :)

Even after the patch this feature still doesn't work for me either.

did you start via everquest2.exe as you have to?

That worked for me long time, it only did NOT work if you check the checkbox that says
"log to charcter on another account" .. lol

However since the update to that window i downloaded today "camp to char select" doesn't work
i always was relogged to my actual toon :confused:

No that did not work before, I think you may be confusing that with camping to another char on the same account, which is something else entirely.

Thanks for the report on the bug with the camp to charselect, was a slight mistake in the coding, fixed version now on the updater.

Nope, i have 2 Accounts and used that all the time also to switch from one account to another.
I first also thought that it doesn't worked, but then a friend told me to not use the checkbox
and that really worked with no problems.

Oh interesting, it did not work when I created that window, but I do not have two accounts so I never noticed that it suddenly started working - and you are the first one ever mentioning to me that it worked. The checkbox used to be required to get to the login screen, without the checkbox it is doing a /camp Server.Charactername, and that used to produce an error if it was a character on a different account.

So I guess I have fixed something that wasn't broken. Anyway, the new solution is better and also futureproof, so I'll leave it in.

Working fine here, and 1 less check box is fine with me :)

Just to update my post, originally it was working. Either todays or yesterdays patch seems to have thrown it off for me. Now, when I choose the "Skip to login w/o camping", it just logs in 1 of my toons without letting me specify which. I then Cancel, and it takes me to the screen normally used to select the accounts... Wierd..

That bug exists with the manual download but it should have been fixed on the updater yesterday. Which version do you use?

Not sure, how do you tell?

I will try to repatch and see what happens. With 4 machines, its possible this one missed an update =/

I was about to say that you could check by looking at the zip file you downloaded as the version number is there...but with 4 machines going, might not have that...

I was then going to say that you could open eq2ui_skininfo.xml in notepad and see what version is written there, but gm9 has just written 4.7 on the manual version even tho it is 4.6.8b and just says Auto something if you use the Auto Updater.

So my advice is run the auto updater to get the latest version.

I run EQ2Maps and the profit updater every time I play EQ2 just to be sure I don't miss something.

It's too early in the morning for me to be reading and posting.

By version, gm9 meant Auto or Manual :)

I just downloaded the newest version via the patcher, and it works ;)

Just updated, tested, and working as intended! Thanks GM9!

:D
