MQ2TargetInfo

Utility MQ2TargetInfo

Split MQ2TargetInfo into individual window components
  • MQ2TargetInfo deals with the target window
    • Use /targetinfo to see help
    • Use MQ2TargetInfo.ini to adjust UI specific settings
    • Added command line arguments perchar, distance, info, placeholder, and sight toggle options to modify each of the options.
  • MQ2XTarInfo deals with the Extended Target Window
    • Use /xtarinfo to see help
    • Use MQ2XTarInfo.ini to adjust UI specific settings
    • Added command line arguments perchar and distance toggle options to toggle options.
    • Fixed an issue where your Extended target window would be extended even if you did not have the slots available yet
  • MQ2GroupInfo deals with the Group Window
    • See MQ2GroupInfo Changelog

- Added Make Me Leader to mq2targetinfo rightclick on group member menu
- Added /groupinfo mimicme on|off - it will do what the button does but from commandline
- Added /groupinfo followme on|off - it will do what the button does but from commandline
- Added /groupinfo cometome - it will do what the button does but from commandline
- This means if you dont want those buttons on the group window, just rightclick
a group member and hide them, then create your own hotbuttons
and put them wherever you like to get the same functionallity.
- Fixed a bug in mq2targetinfo that would change the alpha of the targetwindow/groupwindow/exttargetwindow
it had no buisness doing that, sorry.
Added "Follow Me" to the rightclick menu for the groupwindow. - idea cred: sl968
For this to work yuo need to have mq2eqbc loaded as well as mq2advpath and mq2targetinfo.
It will issue a /bct <toon> //afollow command to the toon you rightclicked on.

- Added distance for targets on the Extended Target Window
You can control the feature by: /groupinfo show/hide extdistance
Because distance label needs a few pixels to display, u *might* need to make the window a bit wider,
it depends how many letters are in the mobs name that u fight.
- MQ2TargetInfo.ini now lets you customize what commands, texts and tooltips are executed/displayed for the Follow Me and Come To Me buttons
Default entries are:
INI:
	ComeToMeText=Come To Me
	ComeToMeCommand=/bcg //nav id ${Me.ID}
	ComeToMeToolTip=/bcg //nav id ${Me.ID}
	FollowMeText=Follow Me
	FollowMeCommand=/bcg //afollow spawn ${Me.ID}
	FollowMeeToolTip=/bcg //afollow spawn ${Me.ID}

- Moved Mimic Me default position to where old hotbutton was.
- Moved old hotbutton to old Mimic Me default position to be more consistent because:
- I Added 2 more hotbuttons to the group window. There was unused space next to hotbutton 1... - idea cred: sl968
Rightclick groupwindow and check or uncheck the menu for it to hide/show them.
or use /groupinfo help
There is no way to selectivly show only one or two, the show is either for all three or none.
Because, well it makes the most sense and I dont want to clutter up the menu with 3 settings for it.

Nov 22 2018 by eqmule thanksgiving edition.
- I now disable MQ2TargetInfo for incompatible UI's
I plan on fixing it but I dont have time today.

Nov 23 2018 by eqmule
- Added MORE support for custom UI's to MQ2targetInfo
I don't know much about custom UI' as I have only used a couple of them
and my experience with them, well i was not impressed, the reason is that they are outdated
they dont show aggro percentages, they use hardcoded sizes and thus cant be resized, cant be moved, has no title, etc.
Honestly, its a mess, if u have a good UI that has all the same controls as default, you are lucky.
Now, to workaround these limitations, I have made some changes to MQ2targetInfo:
First of all if your group window is not resizable, ill change it so it is.
Second if it doesnt have proper .TopOffset I'll use Location.top instead and so on.
Suffice to say, I have done my best to make this work for everyone.
If this still isnt enough, you are going to have to actually edit either mq2targetinfo.ini
and set the button locations there, or edit your UI's XML files.
Well, or just unload mq2targetinfo...
-
Bottomline is, the code I added now, should at a minimum not crash your custom UI
and there is a good chance it actually works for it as well, although u might have to resize the window
in order to see all buttons and distance etc.

- Custom UI Extended Target Window crash fixed in MQ2TargetInfo.

Nov 24 2018 by eqmule
- Added /groupinfo save
It will save groupwindow size and location to the ini.
- Added /groupinfo reload
you can use it to reload the ini when you make changes to button locations etc.
- I made a lot of changes to how mq2targetinfo adds itself to the UI
Basically if you have a custom UI it will now save button locations and so on in it's own section of the ini file.
Example ini:
INI:
	[Default]
	UsePerCharSettings=0
	ShowMimicMeButton=1
	ShowComeToMeButton=1

	FollowMeeToolTip=/bcg //afollow spawn ${Me.ID}

You can now set UsePerCharSettings=1 if you want that in MQ2TargetInfo.ini.
0 is default and means it reads settings from the [Default] section.
I realized that having per char settings is cumbersome if you have A LOT of chars.
The buttons on the groupwindow will only show when you are in a group now.
Except the Hotbutton which will always show unless you change its show/hide setting. see /groupinfo help for more in
  • Added a /groupinfo command to hide/show buttons on the group window
Usage: /groupinfo help
  • GroupWindow Button locations are now configurable in mq2targetinfo.ini
(plugin unload and reload is needed if you change button locations.)
Added some more good stuff to mq2targetinfo - EqMule
