Under the sticky [ Welcome thread ] there is a [ Redacted ] link to a thread that references chat filters using MQ2 commands. Since only outlaws run MQ2 here, I thought we could update this to use existing filters.

Reset chat windows
- close all existing chat windows will push all chat back to one window.
Transferring chat layouts between characters
-The easy way
+ Find UI_NewCharacter_Imperium.ini file
+ RENAME *.bak
+ Find UI_PrimaryCharacter_Imperium.ini file
+ Copy and paste it back into the same directory new name is UI_PrimaryCharacter_Imperium - copy.ini
+ Rename UI_PrimaryCharacter_Imperium - copy.ini > UI_NewCharacter_Imperium.ini
- example- UI_Grease_Imperium - copy.ini > UI_Oils_imperium.ini
+ when you load into the game the new character load out will load every single custom layout option from the primary character's UI
-including actions, chat, macros, hot bars, AA hotkeys... you will need to remove what doesn't work on the new character and set up all new hot bars
-but, this successfully transfers your chat options, and macros over to the new character
-The hard(clean) way
+ Edit both UI_Character_imperium.ini files
+ Overwrite the following sections to the new characters UI
- [MainChat]
- [Chat 1] -2,3,4,5
+how many ever chat windows you use and any specifically name chat windows you have example [customnamedchatwindow]
+Just add extra windows to the end of the UI file
- [ChatWindow]
- [ChatManager]
Transfer Hotkeys
- Alt + o > copy layout > select UI_character_Imperium.ini > check hot buttons > copy
- across clients- copy /past the same .ini file from one client to the other in the everquest subfolder
- you might also need character_imperium.ini copy that also while you are doing that and once you load the hotkeys logout/ back in or zone (unconfirmed) to update the hotkeys
