Ok, so this used to be much simpler, but still not difficult. Big thanks to Xorsaisis for explaining how to get the item code needed to make this work...
So, let's say you want to have a social that says, "Hey, I love eating KFC!" where KFC links to
drumstick.png
To do this: turn on logging, then send a bogus tell to that Item... so type in, ";tell " then click on the picture on the ornament description (like you would to send that actual link) Yes, you MUST use semi-colon tell, rather than /tell
you'll receive an error message saying, Coul dnot find player 014C9200000....
Camp out out to desktop...
Go into EQ files and bring up your log file for the toon... scroll to the bottom of the log, and you'll find "could not find player 01C920000...A82Drumstick"
All those letters and numbers BEFORE the word Drumstick is what you need... copy it...
Next, go to your character's ini file, e.g., Lotolag_xegony_RNG.ini
Open that file (I used word as the symbols are easier to do in word than in notepad)...
Search the file for "Socials"
The social button layout is as follows:
and so on...
So what you'll need to enter is the button info you want... so, let's say I'm making a button called KFC and I want to link that item... I want it on page 10, button number 5... I would have
Save the file, if using word, it's going to say it's not compatible with plain text format...ignore that, and say "yes" save it, rather than using the latest word format (this will keep it as a .ini file, rather than a word file)
I could then log back into EQ and I'd have that social saved and could let the world know I love KFC...
Once it's saved in the social, you can do some additional editing, just leave the colored text where the link is alone.. so I could change it, from within the game from /gu to /em if I wished...
NOTE: there are some symbols required that aren't showing up on the website... so what you actually would need the line1 text to look like is... 123.png
