Target/Implied Target question

Loktha · #1 12-20-2005, 01:22 PM

I was just wondering if there's a way to make the target and implied target windows visible always, not just when you have something targeted.

Thanks for your time.

yes, you need to change the dynamic data filter for the main window IIRC. Remove the bit for Visible. Theres a post on here somwhere that lists all the dynamic data info as well as which bits control which and tells how to do this.

Aye what Agathorn said.

Basically just open up the eq2uo_mainhud_target.xml file and search for DynamicData="/GameData.Target.Window" from the top of the file. Remove the very first DynamicData="/GameData.Target.Window" you find, do the same for implied and your all set. If you are using default these will be on line 2.

I did as you said Landiin. I went into the files and removed the first dynamic data. Although removing this line from the files made both windows not even show up in game, even while someone was targeted.

You were correct in assuming I'm using the default xml files.

I've also been changing around the dynamicdatafilter, but that doesn't seem to help either.

Well really the way the system is intended to work is by manipulating the proper bit on the DynamicDataFilter, not by removing the dynamic data tag altogether, though setting Filter to 0000 is probably technically the same thing. Its just a matter of design

However with that said, it doesn't appear to be working like it used to. I'm 95% positive that in the past, setting the filter to 0000 would make it always visible (sometimes you would have to turn it on with ALT-T first but then after that you were golden), but now it isn't working for me. The window still goes away. So either i'm remembering incorrectly (certainly possible!) or they changed something and perhaps made it hardcoded now

You know now that I said that I think I may know whats wrong. When I did this in the past it was before we had the whole v0/v1 thing. Quiote possibly have to modify something on the v0/v1 pages as well. Let me look into it.

Agathorn · #7 12-20-2005, 11:45 PM

Well the v0/v1 pages don't have dynamic data so you know what? I'm stumped

This was easy in the past but don't know whats up anymore

Interestingly enough though I noticed that my IMPLIED target window was staying up all the time lol and I never even did anythign to that window. *boggle* x infinity
