I copy the default and extract, I get no errors. I did try just extracting and got UIerrors.txt... but with so many people saying one way or another... which is the right way? __________________

The way it's SUPPOSED to work, according to Sony, is you only include in your custom folder the files that have been modified; any files the engine finds missing there SHOULD be pulled from the folder labeled as the default folder in your *character's* ini file (that is, not the UI_character_server.ini, but the main INI file in the \Everquest directory, the name of which escapes me at the moment).

Note the emphasis above: supposed to, and should.

As to why it doesn't always work the way it's supposed to is a mystery to me... anyone know more?

It has yet to screw me up (atleast until I accidentally mess the code up when tweaking) so it will always be done this way. I just don't trust Sony to have the "look in default folder" feature work when I need it to. __________________ Zenlatin Warriors of Living Force Seventh Hammer Server May Your Hunts Be Plentiful And The Loot Rich
