Hey guys, those who already know this (probably most of you) are gonna call me dumb for pointing this out but those of you who don't know hopefully this will help you save some time and energy.
All you gotta do when making a new character to preserve your friend's list and UI layout is this, let's take two characters, called Perfectinterface and Newbieinterface, Perfectinterface has all your friend's list and perfect window layout, chat etc, Newbieinterface has the crappy default UI full of chaos.
All you do is go into your EQ directory, usually C > Program Files > Sony > Everquest
And in that folder you delete the following two files (these files will only exist if the character has been created already)
Newbieinterface_project1999.ini
UI_Newbieinterface_project1999.ini
Then, simply copy the files
Perfectinterface_project1999.ini
UI_Perfectinterface_project1999.ini
and rename the copies to
Newbieinterface_project1999.ini
UI_Newbieinterface_project1999.ini
And voila, you are finished, now when you login to Newbieinterface again, he will have Perfectinterface's layout!
If there is an easier way to do this please post in the comments, I never claimed to be the sharpest spoon in the shed.
