Creating Custom Performance Profiles


Step 1. In the game click the EQ2 (StartButton), Select [Options], Select [Display].

Step 2. Go down the list and set each option of the display configurations to your custom preferences.

HINT: You may find it useful to load one of the pre-defined profiles,
and then tweak specific settings up or down for your preferences.

Eample: Load the Pre-Defined Balanced Profile,
Under Display:Shadows: Un-Check [Shadows]
Under Display:Water: Environmental Cub Map Updates:
Choose[Fastest (One Time)].

Step 3. Click the [ACCEPT] Button. This is an important step!
Clicking the [ACCEPT] Button updates the “eq2.recent.ini” file.

Step 4. Press [ALT+ENTER] to go into Windowed Mode; Minimize the EQII Game Window.

Step 5. Navigate to your custom UI EverQuest II directory.

Example: If EverQuest II is installed on the C:\ drive;
Double-Click [My Computer], [C:], [Program Files], [Sony],[EverQuest II], [UI], [Custom]

Step 6. Double-Click on the program 'eq2ui_custompresets.exe' to run the program.

Step 7. Select the button you want this profile to be saved to.
Button #1 is the Top Button.
Button #2 is the Middle Button
Button #3 is the Bottom Button.

Step 8. Select 'Steel Bottom Style' and Click 'GO'.

This will Copy your Display Settings from the 'eq2_recent.ini' file
and create a new .XML file called 'eq2ui_custompreset*.xml'.
The * will be the number associated with the button you have chosen.

Step 15. Click [Exit] to close the Custom Preset Parser Window.

Step 16. If you wish to create two additional profiles, return to the game window and continue from Step #1.

Step 17. Once you have completed the creation of each of your profiles associated with the buttons.
You will need to exit and restart the game.

The next time you run the game, the new .XML files associated with the buttons will be loaded.
You will now have your 3 custom profiles available to swtich between at any time you prefer.
