How to Copy Macros

Intro

This guide is based off of a guide that was provided during Horizon Rebase Beta. Special thanks to the devs!

The information provided below can be helpful in copying macros and config settings from 1 character to another/new character. This guide can also be used to backup your character macros and system configurations.

User Macros and Settings

FFXI stores your macros and other character specific settings inside a folder in your FFXI install:

(install location) > SquareEnix > FINAL FANTASY XI > USER

Each character you create has a folder here that corresponds with the hexadecimal ID of your character.

To find the same folder from your normal Horizon install, you can find your character ID via addons like mobdb:

The ID shown here is 38621, which can then be converted into hexadecimal (you can ask google or use a tool like this) is 96DD.

We can see this character folder inside the USER folder:

Copy all the contents of the character folder. This includes everything you would find in your in-game ‘Macros’ and ‘Config’ Menus.

Then paste all of the files into another character's USER folder.

This should bring over all of the character's specific config and macros to the other character!

You could also save these files for backup.

Addon Configs

You can also copy addon settings from one character to another!

The majority of addons have a folder for them in [install folder]/config/addons, and they store your settings in folder inside these folders, named in the format of Charactername_ID. Simply copy the contents of your normal characters config into the one for your other character.

Unfortunately, you have to do this for every individual addon you want to copy the config for, so its a little tedious.
