You can add a listener to your eq::Client programmatically, with a predefined port and use this one to connect. > 3. localNode->connect(appNode) Yes. > 4. localNode->mapObject(ptr, ID, version_latest) to map the objects.

Create a new node packet with a new command CMD_GET_INITDATA_ID = CMD_CLIENT_CUSTOM. Register a request and put the request ID in the packet. Send this packet from qt app to eq app. Register a command handler in eq::Client for this command and the cmd thread queue. In the handler, send another packet with CMD_GET_INITDATA_ID_REPLY = CMD_CLIENT_CUSTOM + 1 containing the initiate id and request ID. Handle this in the Qt's app cmd thread, and use the request ID to serve the init data ID to the main thread waiting on the request.
