Question - Character name, Lvl, and location as Window title?

[Darkmax]

I use auto login with MQ2, I don't use other 3rd party programs. So I'm guessing I missed it some place in the patch notes. Today, when I logged in using auto login the window titles no longer just so everquest but instead read Player name(LvL:Location). I only have this on the first three characters the next three just show Everquest. I'm hoping that I can get this information on all of my title bars. Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks!

The command is

/SetWinTitle ${Me.Name} - ${Me.Level} ${Me.Class}

It will display whatever information you desire.
One way to use it is to create a file in your MQ2/release folder named "zoned.cfg"
Every time you zone it will activate the tab title.

I noticed this too and thought it was amazing but the second I switch to a new window the name goes away. Is there a way to make it stick?

Here's my zoned.cfg

/SetWinTitle ${Me.Name} ${Me.Level} ${Me.Class} ${Me.AAPointsAssigned} AA ${Zone}:${Zone.ID} ${Me.Instance} ${Me.Platinum}PP [${EverQuest.PID}/${EverQuest.PID.Hex}]

Unfortunately the only way to use it was to stop using WinEQ otherwise WinEQ resets the title each time you focus on the window as you found out.

For boxes with more than 8 characters I found that WinEQ really offered no advantage over regular

eqgame.exe patchme

It is a new feature in KissAssist 9.2.2 that was released with the newest compile. If you are running it then Kiss it will rename the windows title as long as it is running.

I am too lazy to make cfg files so I added it to KissAssist.

doh! I like my format =)
Is it at least a user configurable variable? like

[General]
setwintitle = ${Me.Name} ${Me.Level} ${Me.Class.ShortName} ${MacroQuest.LoginName}

Not currently but I can make it an ini setting under general next update

you can just change it in the macro for now.

Great idea I love not having to memorize which toon is where! Thanks!!

I don't think it's a good idea for any macro to hijack the title if people already has a preferred one set. I suggest using ${EverQuest.WinTitle} to get it first and make sure it's not set already before u change it. If it returns just EverQuest or your own format then go for it.

If it's a ini setting and people has set it to something then it's ok as well I guess.

Will add this check ${EverQuest.WinTitle} in the next Release of Kiss.

Im paranoid how would I disable this ? As I open my windows in order of my toons I have no desire to see it in the window bar especially a eq tab title being changed they are banning for everything now id rather not push my luck ??

They would ban you because they detected MQ over you changing the local window name. If they can detect what the window is called, they can detect you using MQ. Nothing to worry about here.

ISboxer has been doing this by default I think for a long time, so it is not really a flag that MQ2 is doing it unless you start putting like zone name or something in title
account name, level, class, charname, loginname etc... is fine

to disable this simply find the command

/SetWinTitle

and remove it.
