Process:
1. Create a new character (do not make any changes) and exit the game.
2. Navigate to directory noted above as applicable.
3. Locate ini file for the newly created character (eg: Newtoon-12.ini).
4. Open the file in a text editor (eg: notepad).
5. Navigate to DAoC installation and locate your default ini file by closest horizontal resolution (eg: default1600.ini for a 1680x1050 display).
6. Open the file in a text editor (eg: notepad).
7. Compare values to verify you are working with the default ini file that was used as a template for your new character (eg: Compass=x,x,x,x,x is one good indicator, as it is resolution specific).
8. When you have verified the correct default ini file, close the ini file for the new character and start the game.
9. Modify the screen layout, camera settings, etc. to suit your taste and exit the game again.
10. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4.
11. Copy any desired values from your newly modified character ini file to the default ini for your resolution.
12. Close all files, start the game and create a new character to test your work.
13. There is no 13... skip it.
14. When satisfied with your work, back it up (in a zip file for example) in case it gets overwritten by a future update.
15. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
