Hi,

Since moving to MQNext I can no long see distance in the Extended target window. I am using a custom UI (Default old) https://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4615

If I load the default Everquest UI the target distance works again.

Would appreciate you help.

Thank you

5. if you want the functionality of the MQ2 "MQ2TargetInfo" - They are now in 3 separate plugins:
Click to expand...
/plugin groupinfo
/plugin targetinfo
/plugin xtarinfo


so you'll probably want to check out and edit for your xtarinfo.

depending on your ui, might not be compatable
 
Thank your for your Reply.

I played around with this a bit.
If I take the EQUI_Groupwindow, EQUI_playerwindow & the EQUI_extendedtargetwindow from the EQ Default UI and dump it into my custom UI the distance on the Extended target window works but the distance in the group window stops working.

All 3 plugins are loaded and have distance turned on
/plugin groupinfo
/plugin targetinfo
/plugin xtarinfo

I am stumped

So, that’s the reason that group window stops working if you copy in the other files. Group Window already has the settings to match default_old so copying the default group window in means you are using the default window with the wrong settings.

Probably just need to look at it and update for xtar and tar.
 
This one is a tough one as it depends on the size of window you use, but:

[UI_default_old]
UseExtLayoutBox=0
LabelBaseXT=Player_ManaLabel
ExtDistanceLoc=0,-20,70,150

Will give you:

Adjust the 150 value to fit the size of window you use.

Knightly is there a way for this to adjust with re-sizing the window?

Plugin - - MQ2DPSAdv

MQ2DpsAdv - This plugin shows the dps output of you and people around you in a custom dps window. COPY MQUI_DpsAdvWnd.xml to /uifiles/default folder or to your custom UI folder. Then you may have to reload your UI. (MQUI_DpsAdvWnd.xml is included in the compile in the /uifiles/ folder)...

Should be included. Give it a peek.
 
Is there a trick to get this working with resizable xtarget windows? I have messed with it most of the night and can't seem to get it to unglom from the first position.

Looking to do a slight tweak. Basicly want to get rid of the decimal place as nothing in eq is that sensitive and would like to change the distances at which the # changes color and even add in a yellow distance. Not seeing anything in the settings ini to change this. Would I have to tweak the code itself?

they're hard coded
C++: 
float dist = Distance3DToSpawn(pLocalPlayer, pSpawn);
sprintf_s(szTargetDist, "%.2f", dist);

if (dist < 250)
{
                pWnd->SetCRNormal(MQColor(0, 255, 0)); // green
}
else
{
                pWnd->SetCRNormal(MQColor(255, 0, 0)); // red
}
 
INI: 
                    sprintf_s(szTargetDist, "%.2f", dist);

                    if (dist < 250) {
                        pWnd->SetCRNormal(MQColor(0, 255, 0)); // green
                    } else if (dist >= 250 && dist < 400) {
                        pWnd->SetCRNormal(MQColor(255, 255, 0)); // yellow
                    } else {
                        pWnd->SetCRNormal(MQColor(255, 0, 0)); // red
                    }
Appreciate the reference. Was easy enough to patch that. I am guessing the "%.2f" has to do with the decimal place? Finally getting a handle on the MQ scripting, C is next on my list.

I'm guessing "%d" would strip it down to just an integer wo any decimal?

What I did but thought there was a cleaner way to just have it print as an integer and not a float. Will check out the link though.
 
Having similar issues to an old post here.
Using Zliz (Sic/Kaen), and using the numbers provided by Sic in that thread (or any other numbers really) in MQXTarInfo.ini, and all of my distances are stacked in the upper right corner on the first entry (very similar to nerp's image above). Setting UseExtLayoutBox properly separates them, but then the number is overrunning the target name because it draws in the same box (and any adjustments quickly put the numbers out of bounds/not visible). halp apprictiated.

Current okayish settings:
[UI_zliz]
UseExtLayoutBox=1
LabelBaseXT=Player_ManaLabel
ExtDistanceLoc=0,0,0,0

Sic's recommended settings from some time ago:

UseExtLayoutBox=0
LabelBaseXT=Player_ManaLabel
ExtDistanceLoc=0,-10,50,0
