EverQuest Inventory Report (EQIR) is a program that shows the items that your characters have. It shows items they are wearing, carrying, in their bank, on their real estate plots, and in their houses. It works for up to 14 characters.

Character 1 Worn items tab (v2.1)
All Items tab (v2.1)

Features

  • Shows the date and time the /output files were written to the character inventory and real estate in the tab titles.
  • Shows Worn items for every character.
  • Shows Augmentations on Worn tab for every character.
  • Uses .ini file to record most settings.
  • On first launch it will assume EverQuest is installed in C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest if the folder exists. It does offer an option to change the setting to whatever folder you have EQ installed in.
  • Simple search of All Items.

Download

Current version is 2.5

This version has not undergone a lot of testing, however the only changes since the previous version involve adding a search. Please let Fanra know if you spot any issues.

Prerequisites: It appears that it needs the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to run. This should be installed on your computer already. If not, and if EQIR does not work, go to Microsoft here to get it: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer)


No Installer Version

  • EverQuest Inventory Report v2.5.zip - Download, create a folder for the program, and unzip it into that folder. Then double click on the file "EverQuest Inventory Report.exe" to run or create a shortcut to it.

See Change log below for changes. Note: To see the new icons, you may have to clear your icon cache.


Installer Version

The Installer Version is an older version. It is recommended that you use the No Installer version. A new Installer Version may be created if there is a demand for it.

  • EQ Inventory Report v2.1 Setup.exe - Download and run. This will install it onto your computer and create shortcuts in your Start Menu folder. You have the options to pick what folder you wish to install it to and if you wish to create a shortcut on your desktop.


Older versions: If you have an older No Installer version, please delete all the old EQIR files. However, you should be able to just overwrite them with the new files. If you used the Installer Version, you should run the uninstaller to uninstall it before installing a new version.

Technical notes

Versions prior to 2.1 used Visual Studio "Application Settings" to store all user settings. I was not aware that this creates folders and files in your C:\Users folder. If you wish to remove this unneeded junk, look for and delete the following folders and their contents, if found:

  • C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Bruce_Halpern
  • C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bruce_Halpern

Note that instead of "username", your Windows user name will be used.

Version 2.1 and future versions use a ".ini" file (EverQuest Inventory Report settings.ini) to store most of your settings. You can save a copy of the ini file with your settings when you uninstall it if you wish to avoid having to reenter them. You can also edit the ini file directly.

However, due to the way Microsoft has designed modern Windows, a program can not write to the C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) folders unless the program has Administrator permissions. Because of this, I had to choose between not permitting installation there or recording the location of the ini file in the C:\Users\username\AppData\Local folder. The other option would be to force the user to run the program as Administrator.

Therefore, I decided to have the program create the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\EverQuest_Inventory_Repor and place folders and user.config files there. Should you wish to uninstall EQIR and delete that folder, feel free. Sorry, but blame Microsoft.

Change log

  • Version 2.5 - Added simple search to All Items. Updated License text.
  • Version 2.2 - Added program icon. Improved License text.
  • Version 2.1 - Uses "EverQuest Inventory Report settings.ini" to record most settings instead of "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Bruce_Halpern" and/or "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bruce_Halpern"; "user.config" .xml files. However, the folder "EverQuest_Inventory_Repor" is still created in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\" to hold location of ini file. New Setup Help text using "Setup Help.rft" file. Progress bars for loading all files and shut down. On first launch it will assume EverQuest is installed in C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest if the folder exists. It does offer an option to change the setting for what folder you have EQ installed in.
  • Version 2.0 - New improved Worn tab for all characters. Added "change log.txt" file to files distributed.
  • Version 1.1 - Added date and time of /output files to output files tab for each character.
  • Version 1.0.0 - Release version.
