Your EverQuest directory now contains a file named EQCLIENT.INI. This file contains custom settings for most user preferences within EverQuest. The EQCLIENT.INI file is split up into several sections:
[Defaults]
This section contains general information regarding client setup:
Log=TRUE or FALSE
Sets the default state of chat logging to the log file for your character and server. Setting this option to true would have the same effect as logging into the game and typing “/log on” at the beginning of every play session.
AttackOnAssist=TRUE or FALSE
Sets whether or not you want “autoattack” to be automatically turned on after issuing the /assist command in game.
ShowInspectMessage=TRUE or FALSE
Sets whether or not you want the “CharacterName is inspecting you” message to be displayed when you are inspected by another character.
RunMode=TRUE or FALSE
Sets whether or not you want to automatically “run” when you log into the game.
LoadArmor17 through LoadArmor22 = TRUE or FALSE (Velious Only)
Defines whether or not you want to load the new armor implemented with Velious into your video card’s texture memory. Players with older video cards may choose to set one or more of these options to FALSE if you experiencing slow framerate or excess swapping when viewing these armors in areas with many textures.
By default, these are all set to “FALSE”, as it is possible that those with lower end systems will have problems when attempting to load all of the new armor files. At your option, you can switch all or part of them to “TRUE” to see the new armor. If you have problems with framerate or disk swapping, turn all or part of them back to “FALSE”.
As a note, though you may be able to obtain the files and make these entries if you are not Velious-enabled, the new armor will not be displayed unless you are.
ScreenMode=NORMAL or FULL
Sets the default screen mode for when you enter the game.
[TextColors]
The [TextColors] section contains entries for various text colors in the client. All colors are to be set with Red, Green, and Blue values, in decimal. Valid settings for each color range between 0 and 255. "Black" (0 red, 0 green, and 0 blue) will be white in overlay mode, and black in normal mode.

[WindowsXXX]

[KeyMaps]
The KeyMaps section stores your keyboard customizations as set in game. It is best for this to be edited in-game.
[WindowColors] (Velious Only)
This section contains custom color settings for the transparent polygons behind chat and other windows in full-screen mode. It can be set using the /wincolor command in game.
