From Shards of Dalaya to THF...

[Dewreal]

Question: I have been playing on THF a few weeks, but I recently decided to try out the Shards of Dalaya server, without realizing the patch was going to basically overwrite my entire EQ directory. I am running on Titanium.

Is there a way to re-patch to THF without a complete EQ re-install?

If I do need to re-install, are there any files I can salvage to keep my THF hotkeys?

Thanks!

Shards has SO many custom files that really the only files you can salvage should be your UI_CharacterName_Thehiddenforest.ini files are probably the only files that werent changed with the install.

Shards installs its own version of the client, down to almost every zone is custom. your eqclient.ini file might also be salvagable, but b/c its effectively running an older client chances are unless you use something that allows multiple UI files per character (WinEQ, ISBoxer) that file is also probably gone for ya.

I always make a clean install if i decide to try another server, that way i dont do anything to my THF folder, the great thing about EQ is that it leaves no registry data. So after making a clean isntall of the game you can just copy that folder anywhere and use it as another install.

Best bet is just rename -> move the eq folder.
Put in the cd / iso and reinstall, will probably ask you to uninstall the old one.
Which is why you moved the folder, it'll just remove the keys in the registry.
Install another folder and use it to play on THF.
As B said you can save your character ini files for this server but I wouldnt worry about the rest. Not worth it unless you saw the posts on the main eqemu forum about getting all weapon graphics up to HoT working on titanium.

That's what I figured...

Guys, thanks for your help, I'll definitely know better next time!
