Plugins

The following plugins are required.

mq2collections
mq2moveutils
mq2nav
mq2dannet
mq2sqlite
mq2map
mq2labels
mq2eqbugfix
mq2custombinds

All of these plugins are available on Builder, RedGuides and MMOBugs


Starting

Do a `/mac entropy\start.mac` if it yells at you for not having some plugins started, start them up and try the command again.

When you see something along this line ``` Entropy::200707.01 Palatial Guild Hall::guildhalllrg_int Help::/aux or /command aux Ready::3.35s ``` You are right as rain.. (your numbers may vary)

= new build

New builds and update with database changes will always take a little longer. It is advised you start 1 toon up first, let the changes be made, then start the remaining toons.

A new start looks like so:

Note the delay on the character schema update. This portion will always take the longest.

options

You can start the mac with up to four (4) options.


|option|value|des| |---|---|---| |auto|TRUE/FALSE|allows you to start the mac in auto.. or not..| |debug|(see /debug)|allows you to start the mac with a debug option enabled|

Example: `/mac entropy\start.mac debug:cast auto:true debug:rez`

Order is not important, syntax is.


custom.inc

Add the [custom.inc](https://entropy.exspes.com/file/custom.inc) file to your data directory (right click, save as)
The custom.inc file is kept complete separate so it will never get overwritten on a DL/update/whatever.

All custom hooks, subs, engine settings will go in this file. What you do in here is your business. There is no support for it.
