MQ2Hud - This plugin provides a Heads Up Display for your EQ window, which can provide a large amount of information in a relatively small amount of space. The HUD acts as a transparent background layer, upon which any information can be displayed. Each element of the HUD gets parsed each time MQ2Data is displayed, so there is no need to reload the HUD after making changes to the ini file, they are instantaneously available as soon as you save the ini file. This is a core MQ2 plugin
You can toggle display of the HUD by using F11.
Commands
The HUD is customized by entries in the MQ2HUD.ini file. The ini file allows any number of HUDs to be created and saved within. Loading a new HUD from the ini file can be done with /loadhud. The entry names are not case-sensitive.
Full command list:
The default HUD entry is called [Elements] and can be loaded with the /defaulthud command.
