File redirection is crucial to keeping your team's UI and game settings segregated between solo and boxing play.

NOTE: The file you are redirecting from must be present when you first start up the game with Innerspace. If this file hasn't been generated or is not present, an Innerspace error may result. To prevent errors, make sure the file exists before launching the game. The virtual file you are redirecting to will be created, by copying the contents of the source file, if it does not already exist.

Files to redirect, what they do and why we do it:

EQ2_RECENT.ini - This file contains the most recent graphics/resolution/sound settings that you have used. This is where you would manually adjust your screen resolutions on slaves for reducing system loading.

It is recommended that you use a different file name for each account/character to keep account specific data seperate. I.E. EQ2_recent_toon1.ini EQ2_recent_toon2.ini etc. EQ2_recent.ini Doing this will allow your account name to be saved properly for each instance you launch, making login much easier.



EQ2.ini - This file contains the addon loading information. Only addons listed in this file will be loaded. It is common practice to only run addons on the master/lead character, so to make this process easier you can create the redirected file ahead of time. Open the EQ2.ini file (with your favorite editor) and save as EQ2_addons_master.ini (for example). To set up the slaves with no addons simple clear out the UI settings and save the file as EQ2_addons_slaves.ini (for example). The slave file works great to load up the slaves with no addons. Should decide to change addons at a later date, let your addon updater do its thing and copy (or delete) the changed data in EQ2.ini to your 'master' file.

There are other .xml layout files that EQ2 generates andthey are saved by server/character format. I don't see any reason to redirect these files unless you want to solo play a normally boxed character and use totally different settings. In this case you would simply redirect those specific files for when you box and retain the solo settings in the default format.
