    Hello everyone!

    In the last month I have written a re-implementation for the eqbcs2.exe in order to lift some of the inherited limits of the version distributed for use with MQ2 here on PEQ.

    The main benefit of this new version is the removal of the 55 client limit, which has been a hassle for some of the players of peq due to them running teams of 54.

    You can download the latest version of eqbc-go at
    https://github.com/martinlindhe/eqbc-go/releases

    And run eqbc.exe instead, like you would usually run eqbcs2.exe.


    Docker images is also available at
    https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/martinlindhe/eqbc-go

    Thanks for helping testing this out: Klokworkk, Rimah, Barbatos


    Background:

    Upstream MQ2/mqnext moved away from the eqbc solution on to MQ2DanNet (https://github.com/dannuic/MQ2Dan/tree/master/MQ2DanNet), but since we are stuck for now with the older mq2, I decided to build something to fill the gap.

    Looking good. One thing I did notice is that it doesn't look like all color modes are supported, as I get these errors:
    ERROR: unhandled color code 'o'
    ERROR: unhandled color code 'x'

    Looks like [+x+] is no longer supported in lieu of [+w+]. Fair enough.

    However there are several color types illustrated by colordump that result in errors when using them.

    Nice one Coreidan. I didn't spend too much time with the colors as I couldn't find a good list.

    Could you paste your test snippet there, and I should resolve it asap.

    EDIT: Realized it's "/bccmd colordump".
