name nerf recover settings

[crunchy]

So you got named nerfed, or for some other reason had a name change...it happens.

But you want to recover your friend's list, ignore list, and other EQ settings for your character.

Open up windows explorer, go to your ********* directory, and just rename the UI file.

For me, my ********* directory is c:/program files/****/*********

Once I'm there, if I had to rename Crunchy to Brittle, I'd find the file UI_Crunchy_.ini and change it to UI_Brittle_.ini.

After that, zoning or relogging should reload the settings for Brittle.

(*note: neither crunchy nor brittle are actual char names as they would not be within the policies.)

 

[iaeolan]

This works for duplicating any UI or settings file.
I have a simple bath program that copies my main UI_Iaeolan_.ini to every possible character I would ever possibly play. So whenever I load up anyone it will have my updated UI settings.
This can be applied to Iaeolan_.ini as well, but obviously you need different hotkey macros and settings for different characters.

To do this just right click wherever you want to save the batch program and select New > Text Document. Within notepad just simply modify the following per character:

copy "c:\program files\shards of dalaya\UI_[SOURCE CHARACTER]_.ini" "c:\program files\shards of dalaya\UI_[TARGET CHARACTER]_.ini" /y

replacing the pertinent information with whatever is for your case and duplicate for however many characters you want to set this up for. Then, save the document as whatever you want with the extension ".bat".
To run it, simply double click and you are done.
