When a toon zones they don't show up in red, they come off the list.

Also would like to fix the position and size of the box when started.

imgui windows already save their positions by default. i'm not sure at what point it actually persists that info to the file, if its when the window is created, destroyed, randomly, when its dragged, etc. maybe try just start/stop the script.

The toons that are displayed depends on what the window is configured to display. Configuration > Windows > Default > Edit. Set the peer group to the one you want (group, zone, all)
 
So after I edited how I wanted it, now it doesn't have accurate information. Doesn't show the correct hitpoints, experience, mana. No idea why it stopped working for me.
I even deleted the ini files and unwatched, refreshed the Redguilde launcher then watched and refreshed and reinstalled. It just doesn't work.
 
Hey guys,

First of all, I love this plugin! I am boxing 18 toons and this is so very handy.

I am running isboxer and each time I switch to another toon, the boxhud reset its position to default. Is there a way to fix the boxhud position?
 
i had boxhud showing me days left on subscription somehow i lost it , anyone got any ideas?
["subdays"] = {
["Prettify"] = false;
["InZone"] = false;
["OwnColor"] = false;
["Ascending"] = true;
["Type"] = "property";
["Name"] = "subdays";
["Percentage"] = false;
["Properties"] = {
["all"] = "Me.SubscriptionDays";
but it isnt showing up now

I've added a distance column to my data being displayed and I'm noticing a flickering of non-rounded to 2 digit, so a very long number then flickers to rounded.

Seems to be since last update.
 
There's a bug with group peer group. It should be using your group leader's peer group instead of group_${server}_${me.name} The tricky part is handling when you aren't in a group and when you are in a group.

Either that or have everyone join each others that's in your group

i think i don't see this because i don't run boxhud on anyone but my driver. will look into it i suppose!
 
Lately the level appending to character name on the macros tab is crashing out with this:

Which I can temporarily get past by changing the concat value to a flat string value, which at least finishes the load process so it executes, and allows me to make changes to the display. I've had this issue for the last two iterations I've used.
 
I loaded this Lua and suddenly my character went haywire and ran all super choppy. My MQ window has been full of DanNet spam for 10 minutes now after i shut it off. What settings need to be updated to calm this badboy down? I havent got a chance to use it in the field yet. Just in the guildhall.

did you enable dannet debug or something? if you did, maybe try disabling that.
 
BOXHUD is awesome, thanks for the resource!

Question...
I run raids with 12 or 18 often.. Can you setup to see if a toon has CWTN plugin paused or unpaused from driver toon running boxhud? Also same for a KISS macro? I can see what mode they are in and have setup a column/tab to pause or unpause but when starting a raid fight, i still tab thru all windows to check if i missed someone being paused or something. thanks
 
It was working perfectly. I havent changed any settings but now it will only show the current toon. It wont show anyone else now at all and the peergroup is still set to ALL. Any idea what might have happened?
 
I just wanted to chime in here and say that the realization that Boxhud can be set as a tab in the MQ Console window is a total game-changer. I really like Boxhud but found it hard to find screen real-estate for it. Attaching it to the console solves all these problems. This is fast becoming one of my favorite luas.

This happened to me after the current Test patch. I found these instructions on the MQ2Dannet resource page. I switched to the other listed interface, reloaded Dannet, and the hud began working again.

I have the same issue, it was working fine and now it's only showing one toon. I did the command /dnet interface, but i have no idea what to do with this information. Help much appreciated.

My issue basically self resloved after I rebooted my computer so I didn't actually "do" anything to fix it.
 
First, let me just say I love this utility!
I have a question though, I wanted to add a column to monitor pet health. My efforts worked perfectly. My problem is (and this is a problem before now), when I log off the toon, while it does keep the pet health column in the window, it does not save the reordered columns. It doesn't save the window size, the column sizes, or even the window location. How do I save those values?
 
I believe you close it out after you get it setup the way you like, then reload it and it should save.

you can reorder the columns from the config tab if you go to the tab configuration. the reordering directly in the table using built in imgui controls isn't being persisted as i disable saving imgui table settings due to some old crashes which probably don't occur anymore anyways.
For the window position, make sure to do a /Lua stop boxhud after moving the window, rather than just /exit without ending the script.

Thank you! I was able to reorder the columns and now they stick using the config tab. I can resize and move the window and it saves if I do /Lua stop boxhud (although occasionally the position doesn't save correctly oddly enough)
You didn't mention, but is there a way to save column widths? If not, it isn't a big deal. Just want to make sure I wasn't missing that too. The columns are currently different sizes, so I feel like there is a setting somewhere (if it also isn't saved by resizing using imgui)
 
Hey there. Love Boxhud, and have been using it with ISXBoxer, but I've been forced to have to use the "Enable Viewports" setting in MacroQuest Settings as for some reason something with ISXBoxer resets the Boxhud window. I've tried moving the boxhud window on all 6 clients then doing a "/Lua stop boxhud" and "/Lua start boxhud" and while it starts up in the right place, as soon as I click to another client and back it moves the window. I have a feeling it's something related to how ISXBoxer manages the game windows and forces resolution uniformity, but can't quite figure it out. Any ideas?
 
Good evening. From someone who knows nothing about coding at all, I considered myself fortunate to not only get it running but also add a new tab called Invis Status and I added a new Property Me.Invis and it works! I have a few questions please:
Where do you have a repository of known command strings like Me.Invis that I can look up,
Why is it 'flickering' (regardless if toons are invis or not, the TRUE/FALSE lettering flickers (the other results like CWTN Paused doesn't flicker) and
What is the command for IVU ?

Sorry to bother you folks! It took hours of reading this all carefully to learn how it works and attempt to make my own properties to play.
