Question - Hide Pet Names

[Chibz]

I have been playing around with hide pet names, hide pet owner names, hide merc names, etc in the EQ Options/Display menu. It appears that running Redguides Very Vanilla disables these options (at least for me). Is this normal and intentional?

I am trying to clear up the screen during raids.

in your macroquest.ini

go down to captions

[Captions]
pet=${If[${NamingSpawn.Mark}, - ,]}

there is probably an *actual* way to clear it, but that is what i've always used and it works

 

[Chibz]

This is what is in there right now:

Pet=${If[${NamingSpawn.Mark},${NamingSpawn.Mark} - ,]}${If[${NamingSpawn.Assist},>> ,]}${NamingSpawn.DisplayName}${If[${NamingSpawn.Assist}, - ${NamingSpawn.PctHPs}%<<,]}${If[${NamingSpawn.Master.Type.Equal[PC]},\n(${NamingSpawn.Master}),]}

So I just remove the text in green?

 

[Chibz]

I tried removing the green font text as shown in my previous email and it didn't work. Do I need to remove more? I don't want to break anything...

 

[Chibz]

Nevermind, I found a old thread that I will try...

Hi @Sic, i too am having issues with this. I tried your suggestion and placed

[Captions]
pet=${If[${NamingSpawn.Mark}, - ,]}

but unfortunately, when I click the in game option to have it not display the name or the owner name it disappears then reappears again. my objective is just to remove the mercenary and pet owner names. thanks in advance.

you need mqcaptions turned on to use mqcaptions

you can also just /shownames off

sorry again but i do not see any options for MQCAPTIONS. is this within the macroquest.ini file or is this section found elsewhere?


/shownames off removes PC Player names but the pet and mercenary owner names are still being displayed despite having this option toggled off.
