.ini file question

Conjureous · #1 09-18-2007, 10:14 AM

when I make a new .ini file to put in my custom ui folder, do I delete the eq2.ini file? Or should I leave it there?

If you have an eq2.ini file already then you should just edit that file to include the additional information pertaining to your custom UI. That way you won't lose any functionality that your existing eq2.ini file already provides.

Okay, so I should take this one:

cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname honor

r_aa_blit 1

and change it to this??

cl_ui_skinname beckysui
cl_ui_subdir UI/

then save it as beckysui.ini? Basically overwriting the one that came with the ui that I downloaded?

If you are changing your existing custom UI directory to beckysui from honor then yes. Just make sure to keep the r_aa_blit 1 line so that you won't lose AA.

k, so the only reason that I have to change this is so that when I load a ui it has my name on it? Because otherwise I don't care if it shows as Honor UI or beckysui...lol

Okay, I followed instructions and it didn't work. Don't I need to load it from within the game? And if so, how?

I wouldn't know the reasons why you would want to change it but if that's the only one then I would just keep it as is. Although, I recently renamed mine to Custom just for the sake of it. I liked that better since it will now display just above the Default directory for easy navigation.

If you are keeping your existing custom UI then there wouldn't be any other reason for renaming it other than for such minor reasons.
