TacO #105

Hi there, can you use taco on several accounts at the same time? can you tell me the best way to set the launcher so that you can use taco on at least one if several accounts are open? Unfortunately I didn't find anything about this in your instructions.

For all accounts:

Settings > Guild Wars 2 > Launch options Enable "Mumble link name" with the default value (MumbleLink%accountid%) Click add program (at the bottom). Browse for taco. Select to run after loading the game, and give it the command line: -mumble MumbleLink%accountid%

For individual accounts, it's the same as the above but under Edit > Launch options

whats is the actual value of %accountid% and %accountname% is it the values from the launcher or are they the values from GW2? I can't get taco to launch automatically using the Launch Options but also can't launch Taco manually without knowing that value because of enabling mumble link and I haven't been able to find what its referencing thus far.

Edit: I was able to get it to launch by manually specifying a mumble link instead of using variables. Knowing what the variables are referencing would still be useful though. I couldn't find it in any documentation I was skimming through. A tooltip in the application would be the best :)

Mumble link name in GW2launcher options: MumbleLink_1 shortcut target: "C:\GW2 taco\GW2TacO.exe" -mumble MumbleLink_1

%accountid% is the ID of the account (found under Edit > Statistics). %accountname% is the account's name (displayed on the button). %handle% is the window handle for GW2. %processid% is the ID of GW2's process.

To have it launch automatically, you'd want to configure a "run after launching" program for taco.exe with the argument: -mumble MumbleLink_%accountid%

If that doesn't work, check what version/build of Gw2Launcher you're using under Settings > Update. It should be 6511 or higher. Older builds would have ignored the variable or failed to launch (if configured to launch after loading the game) while using DX11.

Capture Thank you that explains a lot. The "For display purposes only" is why I was more confused.
