I was thinking of compiling a list of all the eq files and what information is contained in them, but then I thought, someone must have done this already. So, if anyone has seen anything like this, I'd love to get a link. If not ... I know there's eqclient.ini, UI_charname_servernum.ini, there's a charname_servernum.ini, there's a charname_servernum.opt, EQOptions2.opt and EQOptions1.opt (are any of the opts still used at all?). Does anyone have any information on this stuff? Is there a useful rule of thumb to follow? Is some of the stuff only used for the old ui, or only for the new? -- weylin

All the window size and position settings for the new UI are saved in files (named UI_charname_server#.ini) that are unique for each character, allowing each one to have a completely different skin and window setup. __________________
