Then you're going to go to the end of the path, and DELETE the word with. Now, you're going to go down to the Destination File, and PASTE that path (yes, for those less familiar with computers, that string of folder names seperated by slashes is called a "path." It makes sense - it's what leads you to the file you want!) into the box. Remember, that text should read something similar to C:\ProgramData\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II\saved_house_layouts\with So what you're going to do is SELECT and then COPY the line of text in your Original File line.
#Layouteditor macro file full
You have to include the full destination of where the file is to go, or the layout editor will save it wherever you saved Jesdyr's editor, instead of into the layout folder that EQ2 reads. You can't just put in a name for the layout you want to use or create. This is the step where a lot of people get things wrong. So once again, for me that's C:\ProgramData\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II\saved_house_layouts\ without In the Difference File, you're going to choose the without layout, just like you did with the with layout.
#Layouteditor macro file windows
I'm running the streaming client on Windows 7, so for me the Original File box should read C:\ProgramData\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II\saved_house_layouts\ with I'm going to assume that if you're playing with layouts, you know what folder the layouts are saved in. Navigate to your EQ2 layouts folder, and click the with layout, then click Open. Don't panic when you see the window with the warning! As long as you've saved whatever layout you were working on before you started using the New From Diff function, you're fine.
Your first step in the layout editor is going to be to click on File > New From Diff. Now you have a layout WITHOUT the item in the correct spot.ĭid you remember to click the WITHOUT macro? Good. It makes sense doesn't it? You have one layout WITH the item in the correct spot. This next step, you're going to click the WITHOUT button. "Oh no, Jaz! You've killed one of the walls of your house!". So just bear with me, trust me, and send that item to the moving crate! "How am I going to get it back out of the moving crate now that you've made me put it in there? I have 200 more of the same item in the moving crate! How will I know which one it is in the editor?" Patience, my young padawan! The new from difference feature will take care of popping the item back out of the moving crate and into the same location for you. "But Jaaaaaaaaz!" I know a lot of you are thinking. Right-click the item you're interested in finding in the editor, and send it to the moving crate. Now, you're going to do something that I know will scare a lot of you. Just click the WITH macro, and you're done!
This is super easy now that you have the macros. Next, you're going to save the layout with the item you want to move. Do not forget the _ or it will not work! /save_layout with NOT /save layout with!įor WITHOUT, do the same as for WITH, except instead of /save_layout with you want to type /save_layout without then click Ok.įor LOAD WORKING, do the same as the other two, except type /load_layout working In the screenshot, you cannot see that yes, there really is a _ (that's shift-dash - the button next to 0!) in the box. In the box that appears, type /save_layout with then click Ok. I like to call them " WITH," " WITHOUT," and " LOAD WORKING."įor WITH, click the Add Step button with Command selected. The first thing you're going to do is create three macros. That would defeat the purpose of an easily accessable and understandable tutorial!
This was the only way I could be sure the text was legible, without putting in thumbnails and links. My apologies for the large size of the screenshots on smaller monitors. And if you don't, poke me and I'll try to arrange an in game demonstration. I never say one word when I can use ten! But the good news is, I've hopefully so over-explained this, that even the most layout inept of you will understand what I'm saying. "I just scrolled through this tutorial, and it's super long! How am I ever going to understand the New From Difference feature if the tutorial is this long?!" Pssh. Never fear, Jazabelle is here! And she's giving you a picture tutorial! "I have 5 or 20 or 500 of the same exact item in my house, and it takes me 20 minutes to find the item I want in the layout editor! I've heard about the new from difference feature of the layout editor, but I !"
