Although this and other macros I write are not exclusively for use by RedGuides,
I am authorizing its use for the community.
(This and other macros I write may be available at "other" MQ2 sites).
This macro has been tested using the most recent RedGuides MQ2 compile.
This macro and all others I submit for the community will be fully supported by myself
(as long as you have not altered the code for it).
Changing user specific (non global) declares is permissible.
Ever since SOE changed how and where your friends list is stored 3+ years ago (it is now stored server side), I have been meaning to get around to throwing this together.
It is a nightmare to merge/manage friends lists across multiple toons the way SOE has it now.
This handy dandy utility is designed to allow you export/list/import your friends list between characters.
Syntax:
/macro friendslist PARAM0 PARAM1
Where Param0 is one of three functions: List, Export, Import.
And Param1 is the name of the toon who's friends you wish to import.
Examples:
/macro friendslist list ---> Lists all your current configured friends.
/macro friendslist export ---> Exports your friends list of current toon to the Friendslist.ini file.
/macro friendslist import [ToonName] ---> Imports and adds names from [ToonName]'s exported list into your friends list.
Note: (You MUST have done an EXPORT on [ToonName] prior to attempting and import of his friends list on another toon !!!)
So... say I have 50 friends configured on MyRogue1 toon. I just logon to that toon, and run an export to create his friends list.
Now I logon to my newly created toon MyMage1, and run "/macro FriendsList import MyRogue1" to add any friend from that list into MyMage1's friend list.
It knows if a name already exists and will not attempt to add/duplicate any existing friends.
I am defaulting to a maximum of 50 friends in the master array.
If you have more than 50 friends to export/import ... then change the value for ArrayMax in the macro within the USER CONFIGURABLE VALUES area.
This utility makes it a breeze to merge your friends lists across accounts... and sync them.
--- UPDATE ---
Found an issue in EQ itself when attempting to import a friendslist on a NEW toon that has NO existing friends configured.
You must add 1 single entry to friends manually.... one time... after that... this utility will be able to handle all other imports.
Its an issue with EQ itself.
