Problem - Lua windows are no longer displaying on 1 character

[BlankStare]

I've relogged the character, unload/reloaded mq2lua several times (including from the character select console), etc. The MQ options Lua window does not display, and numerous other luas I have tested. /reload does not work, camping, etc.

Outside of the MacroQuest_Overlay.ini file where else is this data contained?

I can see a window pop up and then disappear before I see what it is. There's no undocked Lua window.


PS - I despise Lua windows. Buggy as hell with often non-responsiveness and have zero transparency.

Closing the entire EQ session and launching a new client resolved this for me.

Normally its minimized, tiny small box usually sits in top left of your screen.

That was not at all the case here, like I said it was only occurring on one character where Lua windows wouldn't display.
Closing the EQ client and starting a new one for that character was the only thing that resolved it.

This happened again, had to close the EQ session and re-launch. This never happened with the old windows. ;p
Something changed with the newer imgui windows and they choose to not launch for random sessions.

I had the same issue:

disclaimer: I know just enough to dabble .. im sure there's an easier fix, just offering mine.

I'm not at home to get the correct file name but in your macro quest file there is one that has all your ui positions. You can sift through the file and fine the name pop the window you were having issues with. The setting put the window outside my monitor range... I changed the location to something like 400 x 400.

You'll know it's the right file also because it's read only. uncheck the read only in the file properties and I left it that way.

when you start EQ and RG up the window will be at x,400 y,400.. you can drag it wherever.

Since I changed that file from read only, ... when I start back up EQ / RG, the windows open where I left them before. I am assuming the read only setting made it so it wouldn't update the window location.

I'll update this when I get back home to find the proper file name.

You are speaking about MacroQuest_Overlay.ini in your mq config folder.

Yep.. that's the file. Before I adjusted some window locations, Lua would open up on my desktop.
