Typing in "item link purple"

[Swish]

People tend to do this for healing macros and such, but how is it done? Obviously it's 100% "http://i.imgur.com/apRp7TQ.gif", but would love to use it as well... if you use it, can you share the info? :)

It's something about editing your social macros in your characters ui files.

This might work for you http://everquest.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=1;mid=1169036221291853311;num=6;p age=1 . I think in EQ people used to link to the scroll of the spell, although sometimes they would just like to comedy items like pot, smoker or baby josef sayer.

Can I get a "NOT CLASSIC" GIF up in here?!?

I remember making those macros to annoy people in the serverwide Bards/Beastlords channel.

Pretty accurate, but the exact format changes with different expansions, probably not quite right for Titanium.

Going from EQEmu's stuff...

Item links are bounded by 0x12 bytes (18 decimal) (http://www.asciitable.com/) which tell the client when the link starts and ends.

For Titanium the format of the body should be:

0 followed by itemid in 5 digit hex, followed by itemids for augs in 5 digit hex (times 5), followed by 14 0s (unimportant stuff), followed immediately by the text to display (i.e. name of item). No separators between any of this.

But since you don't care about itemids and crap, this might be enough:

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000put text here

^ the forum hides the 0x12 bytes, but if you view page source in your browser and search for the long string of zeros they should be there in copy+pasteable form.

I dont use this myself, but here is the information you requested.

In your EQ directory, you'll find a file called YOURNAME_project1999.ini - You need to open this file in Notepad while you're offline. Go to your a normal healing keybind. Copy and Paste into your hotkey below, after the /gu all the way to the end of the %T.

Page4Button2Line1=/gu 3Thoraf^1871160^0^-1^4095^1313051332^'Divine Light - 0057E70000000000000000000000000000000000000000005 ECAC0F %T

When you copy it in, you'll notice that there will be little UP/DOWN arrows. Now this next bit is important. You need to SAVE AS , in the "Encoding" it will normally show ANSI by default. You need to change this to UTF-8. And then save it.

Hope this helped

One thing to add regarding this. Every character I have done this for on P99 has lost their friends list in game after saving the .ini file as UTF-8. This can be mitigated by cutting your friends list from the beginning of the file (similar to the bit posted below) and pasting it after the last line of the file.

[Friends]
Friend0=Jobober
Friend1=Jibekn
Friend2=Xobobn
Friend3=Boner
Friend4=*NULL*

Seems that the client reads UTF-8 encoded ini files in a different order from ANSI encoded files. I don't remember this happening on live, but this is how you counter that here. If this doesn't happen to anyone else then you can disregard this post and I have a freaky computer!

Also, you don't have to change this any more after you save the UTF-8 file the first time. If you use logs you can change that file to UTF-8 to avoid having a bunch of garbage code show up when you use these hotkeys.
