So i'm pretty retarded when it comes to this type of stuff, but i use your Webpage all the time.

An Aussie here, so when i am usually playing all the Auctions are 8 hours old. I'd like to get this going on my comp, to keep it fresh for you late night US EQ'ers.

Is this an epic head fuck or that new windows.exe is it got some pretty easy to follow instructions in there? As i'd like to contribute if possible.

It's actually super easy!

Just download the Windows exe package (it is a .zip file).

Then right click on the file and choose Unzip to create an eqAuctions folder.

Go inside the folder, you will see a file named eqAuctions.ini, if you double click it will open a plain text file in Notepad.

There will be a few lines of text, each starting with the hash (#) symbol. That means it is a comment and not parsed by the program.

Uncomment the line that lists your EverQuest log directory path (this will be based on where you installed EverQuest).

Now just double click the exe after turning on /log inside the game and you're done!

(And from then on, all you have to do is double click the exe after turning on /log in game)
