Importing Overview Settings

If you are wanting to know how to set up your overview for yourself rather than import someone elses settings you check out these Massively.com guides. Otherwise continue reading :)


It is important (very useful) to have sets of overview settings loaded into different tabs in your overview. I have a whole lot of them, ranging from pvp to planets and moons which i can quickly switch between depending on what i need to see. I know it takes quite a long time to create all these sets so that's why i am going to show you how to import a set into your Eve client that someone else has made.


On a PC:

1. Download A good set here
2. Unzip the file
3. Copy the file to your User -> Documents -> EVE -> Overview folder
4. If the "Overview" folder doesn't exist, create one: "Overview" (capital O)
5. In game go to Overview Settings on your overview window, and select the last option "Import Overview Settings"
6. Select the file you just copied and check all the presets you would like to install
7. Press Import

On a Mac:

1. Download the latest version here
2. Unzip the file
3. Copy the file to your User -> library -> Preferences -> Eve online preferences -> p_drive -> My Documents -> EVE -> Overview folder
4. If the "Overview" folder doesn't exist, create a new one called "Overview" (with a capital O)
5. In game go to Overview Settings on your overview window, and select the last option "Import Overview Settings"
6. Select the file you just copied and check all the presets you would like to install
7. Press Import

hope this can help some people.
