Layouts are special files that EQ2 saves that can be manipulated in a variety of ways; more details on how to manipulate layout files are described later in this article. The Save Layout/Load Layout feature was added to make it easy to recreate the same home in a location with the same floor plan. This is helpful if you choose to move from a house that has a mixed coin and [[Status points|status]] cost, to a home that only requires a coin payment for weekly upkeep. Rather than starting from scratch you can move to the new house (as described earlier in this article) and load the new layout to automatically place everything in the same manner as the old house. '''How to Save a Layout File''' *You can save the layout or load it by doing the following: #Go to the (inside) front door of a house and right click on it to or type /house to open the housing window. #Choose Access from the options that appear. #Click on the icon with a blueprint and downward facing arrow. This will open a smaller window with a list. #If you are saving a new layout, give it a name that's easy to remember. If you are saving the same layout again, select it from the list. #Click the OK button to save the layout file The process above applies to loading layouts from previous save points, except you will choose a file to load from the list, instead of creating a new name for the layout. '''The Benefits of Saving Layouts''' *You can experiment with furniture placement in a house. If you don't save a new version of the layout file, you can load the old layout and you won't loose the work you have done. All of your furniture will return to the same locations you had them in before you changed the house when you load the old layout again. *It is not uncommon for house owners to accidentally move or pick up an piece of furniture in their house. This system allows you to replace it automatically, using the saved layout file. *If someone really likes the way you decorated a house, you can buy duplicate items (all the same things in your house) and use a saved layout to automatically recreate the same house. Both houses '''must''' have the same floor plan as each other for this to work Loading editor screenshots General: {{ss-g}} · NPC: {{ss-n}} · monster: {{ss-m}} examines general/unknown: {{ss-e}} · equipment: {{ss-ee}} · item: {{ss-ei}} · spell/aa: {{ss-es}} visuals placed house item: {{ss-h}} · worn weapon/armor: {{ss-a}} other {{update}} · {{soga}} Quests: {{Quest||}} Zones: {{Zone||}} · {{Instance||}} · {{POI|}} · Mobs: {{Monster||}} · {{Named||}} · {{NPC||}} Items: {{Equip|}} · {{Item|}} Misc: {{Spell|||}} · {{Loc||||uid=}} · {{Faction||amount|Quest}} · {{Coin||||||}} Wiki Basics: [] · [[]] · {{}} · – — · Characters: “” ‘’ «» ‹› „“ ‚‘ · ~ | ° · · × ² ³ ½ € † Common Wikicode: [[Category:]] · [[Image:]] · #REDIRECT[[]] {{disambig}} {{dab|}} Obtain Templates: {{QuestReward|questName|zoneName}} · {{CQuestReward|questName}} · {{DroppedItem|mobName|altMobName|zoneName|chestType}} · {{CraftedItem|artisanClass|artisanLevel|recipeBook}} · {{VendorItem|vendorType|vendorName|vendorZone}} · {{LoNLoot}} Attention Needed: {{stub}} · {{wikify}} · {{AdminNeeded|}} · {{delete|}} {{disambig}} · {{RfG|}} Errors: {{CapCheck|}} · {{CapOK|}} · {{FactCheck|}} · {{FactOK|}} {{RoK}} · {{LU}} · {{LU|LU}} Credits: {{zam|zoneid=|questid=|mobid=|itemid=|info=}} · {{SOEforums|author=|thread=}} · {{Athen}} · {{LootDB|URL}} · {{MIC|URL|what_we_took}} · {{UserCredit||toonName|guildName|serverName}} · {{Eq2u|itemid=|info=}} Wikicode: · · · TOC and EDIT: __TOC__ · __NOTOC__ · __FORECETOC__ · __NOEDITSECTION__ Flow Control: {{#if: + · {{#ifeq: + · {{#ifexist: + · {{#switch: cond|value=output|default}} · This field is a spam trap.
