Running 2-3 toons at once
 
I know that my brother had an application that allowed him to more simply scroll between multiple toons on the same box - but I can not remember what it was. Does anybody have any insight into what I am talking about?

Thanks

Alt-Tab should work just fine.

WinEQ 2 maybe ? ( http://www.lavishsoft.com/ )

Before Sony allowed Alt-Tab to work in EQ, WinEQ was necassary to switch between accounts that way. I believe it was eventually a legal issue that forced sony to implement that functionality.

Wineq 2 is still the way to go.

EQ by itself, 2 maybe 3 accounts at once with lots'o lag and lord help me if i zone more then one at a time

Wineq easily 6 box and can zone them all at once with no issues, very little lag.

this is on my computer of corse.

another alternative?
 
Any other alternatives. Wineq 2 requires an internet connection to validate your registration with Lavish (bleh). I need something that will minimize the video card usage (FPS) while running in the background, so the current program being used is getting the majority of the video memory. Wineq 2 would be perfect if it did not need internet access :/

It's perfect for playing on an EMU public server, but I want something similar (if it exists) for local LAN play as well. Thanks for any assistance.

I got wineq2 up and running, but my only issue is that my regular windows mouse pointer moves at a different speed than my EQ mouse pointer. The result is that when I am using the mouse pointer in EQ the windows mouse pointer is all over the place screwing my up by moving my screens and switching my EQ windows.

Is there any easy (or hard) way to fix it so that my windows mouse pointer is in sync with my eq mouse pointer?

I downloaded eq2.14 and can log into eqemu server with it. Not able to tile windows though. or make a small EQ window or Picture in picture. Is there a trick to this tried all the hotkeys. in and out of the game. Is that because you have to pay for a higher version or does it just not work with eqemu?

ok it works
 
sorry for double post, but thought would update this.

WinEQ 2.0 works you just need to pay for subscription.. $10 i my case.

have you tried posting in the forums was eqwindows. also if you subscribe you get access to more forums. the mouse thing sounds really strange. there is a mouse release / recapture key scroll lock i think. does that work?

The Titanium version of the client limits copies of EverQuest that don't have focus to 10 FPS (down from ~150 in an empty Tutorial zone, verified w/ FRAPS). It also lets you move your mouse seamlessly out of the window, onto other applications, etc. So, unless WinEQ 2 does something more (tabbed windows, thumbnails, etc), this shouldn't be needed just to run multiple instances of EQ. You might just have to turn down the resolution to fit multiple instances of EQ to fit on your display, which is where multiple displays can come in handy :)
