Question - finding named mobs in zones

[andrewsmith60]

Sorry if this question has been asked before but each time i go into a zone i find my self typing /tar (Named mob). I would like to know is there a mac or plugin that will just show me the named mobs up in a zone and if so the instructions on how to implement that thanks in advance and hope everyone has a nice Sunday and happy hunting.

howdy - you can use MQ2SpawnMaster to get alerts for different mobs that spawn

Personally, I use MYSEQ on another monitor, and have alerts setup to flash red dots and to make a beep when a named spawns

For both, you can use EQResource to find the names of mobs in each zones, tho there is already a list up to RoS > HERE <

Here is a snippet @saar shared, which shows you how it would look in your mq2spawnmaster.ini if you were to add the mobs manually

[Gnome Memorial Mountain]
Spawn0=#A Non-Standard Deviation
Spawn1=#Ambassador of Loving
Spawn2=#Best Museum Security
Spawn3=#Bloodmoon Chief Eclipse
Spawn4=#Bloodmoon Howler Trolog
Spawn5=#Breaker
Spawn6=#Consul of Cooperation
Spawn7=#Fractured Sweeper
Spawn8=#Grash, Bloodmoon Growler
Spawn9=#Healer Prime
Spawn10=#Malfunctioning Iron Legion Hug
Spawn11=#Master Mechanic
Spawn12=#Repair for Pieces
Spawn13=#Tatters

Problem with that is:
If you can target a mob that usually is outside of your range (or in general: not targetable by you) this is detectable - which also is why there was added a "targetable" parameter some years ago.

Besides what Sic already mentioned you also could add snippets to your MQ2HUD.ini showing certain spawns (but I only have that for stuff that is closest to me).
But MQ2SpawnMaster pretty much does the job - so I would go with that.

If you are looking for a general idea where certain mobs can be found, Magelo also tracks spawns and shows them on a map.

And then you load MQ2Discord
with "MQ2SpawnMaster#*#" u get notified whenever a named pops

There is a macro, SpawnCk/SpawnCh, that flashes the named that are up across your screen. Unfortunately the Ch version no longer works and the Ck version only works with a competitive MQ2 build that cannot be named here. I have repeatedly begged for help on getting it working to no avail. Ch's author was TreeHuginDruid, who just passed away. Another dev tried to make the Ck version work with VVC but it does not. So when I go named hunting I have to use the other build and then unload all my EQ clients, unload MQ and load VVC and EQ all over again. It's a PITA.

Doesn't Spawn master have the option to flash it up on your screen?

aye

from mq2spawnmaster page:

Adding the following line to the ini file under [Server.CharacterName] will create a sound alert and pop up when matching mob spawns
OnSpawnCommand="/multiline ; /vt 3 005 ; /popup SPAWN: ${SpawnMaster.LastMatch}!"
Example

[Server.CharacterName]
OnSpawnCommand="/multiline ; /vt 3 005 ; /popup SPAWN: ${SpawnMaster.LastMatch}!"
Enabled=on

MQ2HUD. I use the hud that displays 10 closest named to me constantly. and other various information.

I just pull up the map and most times , at least the zones I hunt in, the named are in red

 

[drawthow]

I add all named mobs to the zone file on my seq.
