    I'm having a problem with autosplit on my toons. I keep setting it on but when I log off and log back on it's turned off. I was going to try manually setting it on with the .ini file but can't seem to find the entry in any of the ini files in my EQ folder. Is there an issue with autosplit? is there an MQ2 or E3 alternative, anyone remember what ini file it''s in ? Please let me know.

    Thanks

    IIRC, autosplit is not a permanent setting, just like tgb.

    The easiest way to fix this yourself is modify e3 to perform these commands on startup as you wish, then all your toon will have your preferred settings each time automatically.

    It's supposed to be permanent, has been permanent back when I was playing live and on the P99 client. It's only the PEG client I have that issue on. I'd be more than happy to have E3 do it, but have no clue how to do it. Mind sharing how?

    I cant recall it was permanent back on live but one had to turn on autosplit all of the time because group members was nagging about it.

    I also cant find any traces of such ini setting online,
    looked here:
    * https://www.jaburt.com/eq/eqclient.htm
    * https://almarsguides.com/eq/gettingstarted/boxing/PopularEQIssues/EverquestFiles/EqClientINI/
    * https://everquest.fanra.info/wiki/Graphics_and_performance_settings_guide
    and some other google results.

    Anyway.

    Put commands in your e3.mac like here

    I can't seem to find an ini setting anywhere either, but in the games options, there is a line there that says autosplit with a check box. This is the only client I've used that doesn't save that once it's clicked, so everytime you log on you have to go through and hit it on all my toons

    nah you can use a command to have all toons select autosplit in options.

    first you need to look up the EQ ui window name. I think it is in this case called EQUI_OptionsWindow.xml and then the button is probably OGP_LootAutosplitCheckbox (I'm guessing and would have to test to be sure)
    open up the xml for this window and find the check box name and create a command similar to this:

    /notify OptionsWindow OGP_LootAutosplitCheckbox leftmouseup

    and thus for all bots /bcaa //notify OptionsWindow OGP_LootAutosplitCheckbox leftmouseup

    (This is untested) edit: now tested, this works.

    Ok I found the OGP_lootAutosplitCheckbox in the XML file but lets pretend I'm completely useless with code, I capped out on the old Apple II + with

    10 Print hello
    20 goto 10

    where do I need to put the /notify OptionsWindow OGP_LootAutosplitCheckbox leftmouseup line ?

    make a hotkey on your "main" character. use /bcaa / to send to all bots
    I just tested it, the command works fine.
    you don't need to know coding just copy and paste this into a hotkey in EQ (if you have paste setup)

    /bcaa //notify OptionsWindow OGP_LootAutosplitCheckbox leftmouseup
