Need help with making item link chat macro

[Magrim]

I tried following this http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15922 but I don't seem to have a log folder or .ini files with my character names.

Can someone tell me how to make auction macros with item links or what I am doing wrong?

did you turn /log on in game?

the file may not be created until you actually /log in game.

try using a search on your entire EQ folder for a file with a character name you have used /log for if they aren't going to the default place for some reason.

Yeah i got some message log was turned on. and I searched the whole directory for log :\

it says also to find your character's .ini file and paste what's in the log into your social macros but i couldn't find my character's ini file either...

[fastboy21]

don't know then.

is it possible that you have two EQ directories and you are looking in the wrong one?

[Magrim]

nope, just tried again. What is the exact name of the folder? I can try to create it and see what happens.

[Argh]

run as admin, make eq folder writable by turning off read-only

This thread sorta petered out a few weeks ago... here's my issue...

I can turn the log on, but when I edit the file it only shows "plain english" item descriptions. No string of special code. Is there some trick that I am missing here? Or am I misled that it is even possible to macro auction links?

bump, I have been trying to figure this out -- is it even possible? Yes, shift+ for chat, but I am talking about putting the item link in the macro

anyone know?
