Here's the procedures to save and reload all sorts of fun things: For AA In the game: Go to the AA editor, click the save button. The box comes up with another save button asking which profile you want to overwrite. Next to the Save button on this box there is another box to the left where you can save the profile to the hard drive. These files go in your Everquest II directory. When you click the box it will save the profile and tell you the filename such as Character-Spec.aa and loading would be clicking the drop down box in upper right to select your spec and there is a "Load.." option there to load a file from the hard drive. To make a profile outside of the game go to http://www.beetny.com/eq2aa/ This will let you load/save profiles to your hard drive which you can copy to your Everquest II directory. For hotkeys (the spell assignments on your hotbars, i.e. which spell is in which position on the hotbar): In the game type /savehotkeys example: /savehotkeys mychar-pvp, or /savehotkeys mychar-raid These files again go in your Everquest II directory and have no file extension, it's simply called exactly how you put it. You can then /loadhotkeys <filename> To save your key bindings (like forward, reverse, turning, hotkey buttons, etc) /save_keymaps mychar-keymaps Loading: /load_keymaps mychar-keymaps These files are saved in the Keyboards directory under the Everquest II directory To save your UI layout such as positions of hotbars, how many open hotbars, positions of other windows, etc. /save_uisettings mychar-ui Loading: /load_uisettings mychar-ui These files are in the Everquest II directory Typing /load_uisettings without any filename after it will bring up a screen where you can load UI settings from another character in the game (not saved files). You can also do /save_friends and /load_friends using the same procedures. All of these files can be copied to the EQ2 Beta directory so you can load them there.
Thanks!! Been looking for a way to save hotkeys, and had no idea that you could load AA profiles too!
Good write up, but a heads up on importing AA tress from any source, the import process will import the AA setup a tree at a time and not the way in which they were necessarily save. Not a problem if you have 350 usable AA's, but if you're around - say 225 AAs out of 350, the first 100 AA's will go into the first tree, the second 200 into the second and the remaining 25 in to the third and all of the outstanding AA' will be allocated on the same basis. The process is not ideal and will most likely not give you the setup you want. It's best to save the export/import & save/load process for when you have max, or near max AA's and you may want to switch between different setups depending on the situation, e.g. solo, group, raid setups etc.
