Setup

To access the RoF2 server, you will need to download a compatible client. If you do not already have one, you can download it here: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43742 or do a quick Google search, which should yield several options for you to choose from (Steam's EverQuest F2P does not work).

Getting Started

Once you downloaded the RoF2 client, do not start it or use EQLive patcher. Instead, create a batch-file like below. Name if for example YourAccountName1.bat. Replace drive and "D:\RoF2" with the directory where your Rain of Fire 2 installation resides. Replace "YourAccountName1" with the actual name of your EQEmu client account (see step 3).

You can later on modify this batch file to start multiple accounts at once, or you can create one batch file per account - which ever you prefer.

cd D:\RoF2

start eqgame.exe patchme /login:YourAccountName1

EQ Might is listed on the two EQEmu login servers login.eqemulator.net and login.projecteq.net. If you want to use the default loging server, your eqhost.txt should read as below:

[LoginServer]

Host=login.eqemulator.net:5999

#Host=login.projecteq.net:5999

(the # starts a comment and in this case means this server is not used)

You need at least one EQEmu account. To do so, you first need to register to the forum and then create your account(s).
Download the server files.
Read the server rules.
Optionally download and install MacroQuest 2 and e3. (e3 download - note there is a newer version called e3next)
Create your character(s) - log in and visit the Server-Greeter, Gene and Walter in-game.

MQ2

MacroQuest2/E3 is a third party software, which is not being developped further, but is working reliably with a RoF2 client. Its successor is E3Next. This page is for MacroQuest2/E3, not for E3Next.

If you are playing on multiple EQEmu servers, it is best to have one MQ2 folder for each server. If you already have an MQ2 folder, make a copy of it (about 95MB) and then launch the MacroQuest2.exe in that folder, e.g. D:\E3_RoF2_EQM\MacroQuest2.exe.

Basic Commands

Follow me

/bca //target id ${Me.ID}

/bca //stick hold !front uw

/mapshow npc

The first line tells every other character to target you.

The second line makes them stick to you, but not stand in your face and swim level with you when underwater.

The third line is optional, it just updates the mini map and it's handy to have this done from time to time.

Attack my target

Make a hot key using the following commands. When using /multiline, make sure there is always a space before and after each semicolumn.

/bca //target id ${Target.ID}

/bca //stick 12 uw behind

/multiline ; /stand ; /bcaa //attack ON

/bcaa //pet attack

If you have some character specific abilities you want to use, you can put them on a hotkey or access them from the abilities bar (called doability).

The following line makes every character using their ability 1, pressing hotkey 2 and uses the AA "Gut Punch" on the current character, if it's up.

/multiline ; /bcaa //doability 1 ; /bcaa //keypress 2 ; /alt act 3732

Fine tune your settings to get the best out of your group and make your life easier.

MQ2AutoLogin

Edit your MQ2AutoLogin.ini. Replace the marked text with your own account credentials. Optionally Add your character's name to automatically log them in.

Your batch file(s) to launch the EQ client, look as shown below. You can add your whole crew to one file, or just make a batch file per account, if you want to select them individually.

cd D:\RoF2

start eqgame.exe patchme /login:YourAccountName1

start eqgame.exe patchme /login:YourAccountName2

To start your accounts with MQ2AutoLogin:

Start MacroQuest2.exe, which resides in the same folder as MQ2AutoLogin.ini.
Start your batch file(s).

Premium Ad

E3

First, you should look into the e3 guide.

As already mentioned, I highly recommend to have a dedicated e3 folder for EQ Might and not share it with other EQEmu servers. The autoloot settings my be different and ini-files for your character will most definetly be different.

Basic Commands

Load/reload E3 for all characters

/bcaa //mac e3

Follow me

/FollowOn

Attack my target

/AssistOn

/multiline ; /stand ; /Attack ON

The second line is regular EverQuest command line and optional. It makes the current character stand up and attack. Which is useful for encounters that proc feign death.

To stop following or attacking you can use the command /FollowOff and /BackOff.

Veteran AA

Veteran AAs are no supported on EQ Might. If you dislike the error messages when starting E3 about missing Veteran AA, you can delete or comment (by adding a | in front of the line), the following lines of code in the file Macros\e3 Includes\e3_Casting.inc.

/declare vetArray[9] string outer

/declare iLesson int outer 1

/declare iThrone int outer 2

E3 Configs

Below is a recommendation how to add the Charm of Might damage shield clicky to your configuration found in "E3 bot inis\". The charm is available to you at level 1 for free and can be bought from Gene in PoK if you lose it.

[Buffs]

Instant Buff=Charm of Might

After upgrading your charm with Charlotte, you will need to adjust the name in the config file, e.g. to "Charm of Might (Planes)".

Cleric Example

Below is an example of how a level 65 cleric's ini file could look like.

The buffs you want to cast when other players send you a tell "buff me", are configured under Group Buff=.

To comment - i.e. deactiviate - a line, you can use a semi column at the beginning of the line.

Set a melody and then define this melody. Below is an example. It looks a bit clumsy, because the same highlighted block is there twice. That is because Selos' Acceslerating Chorus on TDE lasts several minutes and you don't want to repeat too often. Idealy you would even repeat the blocks serveral times.
