Navigate to your Awakening Server folder. Usually located on the C: drive unless you installed elsewhere, see the navigation bar in the below image.

You'll notice 15 digit numbers followed by different extensions. These numbers represent your characters and are created in sequential order so the lowest number would be the first character you created. If your first character has everything setup the way you want it, as far as UI and Keymap, delete the .uis file with the character numbers that ARE NOT setup yet. Copy the .uis file from your main and paste it, then rename it using the target characters number. Be sure to include the .uis extension.

you can do the same for your keymap which is the .inp file. Delete it from the target character, then copy and paste from the source character, rename it with the source characters number .inp.

I'm guessing that most of us on this server have enough experience to handle this, but if you don't feel confident, don't try it. I personally would not recommend messing with any other files in this folder. Only the .uis, and .inp files

Nice one mate. I was looking for this a while back.

Just to add, here is where my files are located. Not where one would expect! Might be handy.

I was playing with this a little and somehow, I changed some default settings for the client.. new characters now have a 'certain number' of consistent settings/macros across all new characters.

Does anyone know how to setup a default profile for all new characters?

I use 3 different computers and I'm trying to come up with a way to keep my profiles sync'd or at least start them all from a base-line.
