EQPlayNice cloneFollow

Using code freely available under the GPL from the MQ sourceforge project, I've gutted out the hackish parts, and updated the code for a fps limiter.

You can download it Here.

To limit your fps type /maxfps fg/bg number .

FG limits it for the foreground window, bg the background window.

/fps toggles your fps indicator on and off.

/fps mode toggles the mode used by /maxfps from absolute to calculate.

To run, at the moment, you do need to load macroquest2.exe. For simplicity purposes, I've maintained the same loader, but this is not macroquest. The ONLY commands that function in this version are the ones described above.

As EQW/WinEQ2-type programs have previously been deemed to comply with the EULA, this one should be no different.

btw - this only does fps limiting, it doesn't do cpu cycle limiting.

is the EQplaynice still out there? im sick of my CPU running at 98% while just sitting there as a trader doing NOTHING.

yeah, EQPN still exists. EQPN can limit cpu cycles given for every frame as well as limiting the actual frames, although it has a subscription fee.

Try typing /maxfps bg 15 with this running, it should cut down on cpu useage.

You should offer expanded forms of the acronyms.

sure, I'll put foreground/background in as an alternative later today.

More along the lines of: GPL, MQ, FPS, FPS (max), FB (number), BG (number), FPS (indictor), FPS (mode). (Those in ()'s being "with regards to".)

MQ = macroquest, a program designed to hack eq. since it already has a very extensive codebase that does exactly what I want, it was easier to cut out the hackish parts than to rewrite from scratch.
