WinEQ 2.0 - Multiple Ini and Monitor Question

Post by Cameeria » Sun Nov 25, 2007 2:26 pm

PC Specs:
Q6600 cpu, 4gb of ram, 8800GTX, WinXP Pro SP2.

I'm using WinEQ 2.0. Primary monitor runs at 1900x1200. Secondary monitor runs at 1024x768.

I setup a primary profile and a secondary profile and assigned the profile to the respective monitors.

The problem I'm having is that when I start the secondary profile, it does go to the secondary monitor as expected but it starts up in 1900x1200 resolution so it doesn't come close to fitting on the second monitor.

How do I set the secondary profile to start EQ in a 1024x768 resolution while keeping the primary profile starting in a 1900x1200 resolution? I suspect it has something to do with using custom ini files but I'm not really sure how to set those up and/or specify resolutions in them.

You're right, it does have to do with custom ini files. All you really have to do is pick a name for it, and the rest is taken care of for you. For example, it might say ".\eqclient.ini" by default. Change it to say ".\eqclient-secondary.ini" instead (i.e. by adding -secondary between eqclient and .ini) and eqclient-secondary.ini should get created when you launch your session, with the values from eqclient.ini. Any settings you change while using that profile will be saved in your custom eqclient.ini file, including the resolution. Next time you launch that profile, it will automatically be correct.

Hope this helps. :)
