Same Account on 2 PC's

[Caine33]

Finally got an install of DDO to work on my Laptop, so I can play wherever. The problem now is the screen layouts do not match.

My home set up is using a 2560x1600 30" screen with enough space to display as many hotbars as needed. The laptop is quite a bit smaller. Is there any way to set the both up for the same account, without having to adjust every time I play on one of the two?

/ui layout load/save filename

this might help. (hopefully)

just save the layout on each machine and load it when you start... *poof*

/ui layout load/save filename

I use this, although last time I tried what the OP is wanting, it only affects the layout of your hotbars, map, chat etc., and doesn't remember how may hotbars are actually popped out, so I have to have the same numbers for it to work for me.

Weird, because for me it has always remembered the number of bars open.
That's the first thing I do when I TR/LR : /ui layout load <layout to load> to get back all the bars where they belong ( ok, the content of the bars is empty )

Basically you set up your layout on each computer, then once you have put the bars the way you want them ( and the rest of the ui ) you save it with /ui layout save <file>
do it on both computer and you're set.... well unless you're an altaholic... as you will have to do it for each alt. ( if they have a different setup, like number of bars open, bar location and so on )

I run into this, too.
New alts - not only do I have to unlock the number of hotbars I use, but have to turn the specific #'d ones to vertical for the UI Load file to place them correctly.

Then double click the focus window for it to settle into place.

Then open the Options/UI list to Justify my buff icons to the right. (Where I still say they should have defaulted to instead of left.)

Will try out the save and load UI...hopefully works.

This one needs to be always reset... I agree default should be right ( original location ) and not left.

Good Luck!

well, have you looked into the keyboard mapping file lately? many of the settings are there... so one could just copy the keymap file from one computer to another... and in fact you should because of consistency.

Heck I just had fun in the keymapping file the other day, and changed a bunch of chat text colors... it was hilarious to see the results. (darn halfling past lives!)
