Please follow the instructions below to setup GINA correctly to be ready for Raiding in EverQuest.

Do not skim this information, as most who reads quickly who configures GINA WILL miss something and will have an issue receiving trigger packs. This is a reflection on you to be able to follow directions correctly! Don’t be THAT person.

The information below will allow you to automatically receive triggers from Drakah. It is recommended to have your triggers setup several days before raiding to allow for any issues.

Do not wait until the night of raiding to ask for triggers!
Otherwise, you will not be raiding until you are setup.

Do not ask or receive triggers from anyone, other than Drakah, to ensure you do not cause duplicate triggers and/or issues to your emotes. If you are using triggers from another guild, and wish not to use ours, it is your responsibility to not miss any emotes and be able to follow any custom emotes we may add to the event.

If you are having any GINA Issues, view the troubleshooting section at the bottom of the page.

Did you check that you have your log running in EverQuest?
(Type: /log on while in-game.)

1. Click the User icon at the upper left to Add a character(s).
2. Click the Log File location button and navigate to where your log file is for the character you are adding. By default, it is located at
   C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\EverQuest\Logs
3. Your character should now be created! Ensure the check-box is checked for Monitor on Startup, select your audio settings for volume/voice, etc. Test it by clicking the Play button and Save.

Your character is created!
You should now be on the main screen of GINA.
Ensure you have a RED circle to the left of your character name.

RED CIRCLE: Character is currently being monitored.

GREEN CIRCLE: Character is NOT being monitored, you would need to click it to start monitoring.

TRIANGLE: This means GINA cannot find the Log file you selected. Either you did not type /log on while in-game yet or you deleted your log file.

Click the blue button/down arrow at the upper left and choose Settings.

General Tab:
Here you can adjust the Master volume of Gina for the voice, have the program minimize to system tray option, etc.

Sharing Tab (Most important setting):
1. Click on the “Trusted List” radio button button on the left, for BOTH options. This will ensure you are receiving triggers from me DURING an event, without having to you to tab-out of the game to manually “accept & merge” anything.

2. On the right-side, Type: Drakah and click Add. This will place my name into the Trusted Sender List box. Be sure you spell the name correctly and that it shows IN the white box. Click SAVE.

Log Maintenance Tab:
Check-mark “Auto-archive log files”. This will automatically archive your current log file when it reaches the desired size you select and will give you a new log file to use (personally I set it to 50). Warning: GINA can lag if your log file is too big. You can also set to have it delete files too if you wish.

Advanced Tab:
Nothing here to worry about. (no picture needed)

 

Ready for the Trigger Packs?
Contact Drakah via Discord!

 

In the Iratus Lepus Discord Server, look on the right-hand side, scroll threw the users until you see Drakah. Typically, I am listed under the Online list, but if not, look under the Offline list. Find Drakah and left-click – this will bring up the user panel. On the bottom you will see you can Message. Please let me know here that you are ready to receive triggers and we can setup a time/date to do this.

Please ensure you have followed the above steps correctly. Again, 95% of the people fail to receive the packs from something they missed, so MAKE SURE you have done the following:

1. Make sure your log running in EverQuest. Type /log on
Might be a good idea to open that log file and ensure you are seeing guild chat and such in it.

2. Make sure your Character in GINA is pointing to the correct log file and not a different EverQuest installation.

3. Make sure you have your Sharing Tab Settings are correct, with both radio buttons selected for Trusted List and Drakah is listed in the Trusted List box, spelled correctly.

Meet Drakah in EverQuest to do the following.

 

There are 3 folders I can send:

1 – Raids (mandatory)
2 – Guild (recommended)
3 – Class (optional)

NOTE: If you already had GINA installed, and you have triggers already, you need to either re-name or delete your triggers prior to receiving them – otherwise, your triggers will become corrupt!

How to Delete a Trigger:
Simply right-click on a single trigger or right-click on a folder, and choose Delete.

Once you have successfully received the trigger folders, you need to enable the specific trigger folders. You do this by clicking on your character name on the left side. You will see a RED border around your character. You should now see check-boxes next to the folders on the right-side.

You do NOT want to enable everything. Doing so will lag GINA out and potentially crash.
Only enable what you need, that is it.

1. Raids – Click the Arrow to open the folder, and ONLY enable the current expansion. If we do any older content, this is where you would go to enable those temporarily. Notice from the screenshot, there is a Black Box next to Raids. This means the entire folder is not fully enabled but something under it is.
2. Guild – Fully enable this folder. Notice from the screenshot, there is a Check-mark next to Guild. This means the entire folder is fully enabled.
3. Class – Click the Arrow to open the folder and locate your Class and enable that one ONLY. Notice again, there is a Black Box next to Class. This means the entire folder is not fully enabled but something under it is.

 

THAT’S IT!

You can test the Guild folder by typing in:

/random 100

You should get an emote of what you rolled via On-screen Text & Voice.

 

You can test the Terror of Luclin folder by typing in:

/say Aten Ha Ra joins the battle.

You should get an emote saying “Boss Active” via On-screen Text & Voice.
