Greetings,

Does anyone have a script or batch file that will allow renaming of ini files? For example, when using a Potion of Amnesia, I'm looking for something quick that will swap all existing relative configurations over to new name or server. I'm mostly on FV so server rarely changes.

My current roll out is to do a search within the EQ folder for the placeholder name files and either rename or delete them, then take the old name files (with my setup) and rename them to desired name. It's kind of tedious, especially when dealing with one off configs from MQ that wouldn't be in the EQ folder (chatwnd).

Any ideas?
 
This sounds like a pretty easy batch file to build if you do the leg work.

Go through the procedure and take notes of what you do at each step.

For example:

copy MQ2\SERVER_CHARACTER.INI -> MQ2\SERVER_NEWCHARACTER.INI


I suspect you will end up having 5 to 8 files you want to copy, and once you have the list of things you want done for each character it should be easy to find the patterns and put together a batch file.
