map questions...

[chance98]

i forget when using mq2map... there is a way to filter out to where all you see is just the nameds on the map... anyone remember how to filter out all the mobs begining with the letter "a".

 

[Akatora]

i dont believe so, but you can just turn npcs off and turn tracking on and just track and have mapfilter target on..... that will show your target and a line to it as well. Dunno if that helps at all but its all i got

 

[chance98]

think back in the peguses cloak ones there was a way..

not sure about map only showing named honestly but i know you can do /who npc named

I don't have my EQ account active at the moment to know for sure, but I think it's something along these lines:

/maphide npc "a"

 

[chance98]

that was it jmo... your account is not active???? whats wrong buddy

I can really only afford 1 MMO at the moment (and I pay the podcast hosting too), so I'm sticking with WoW. No worries, as I'm still handling the compiles. Everyone's fast to post the new .exe files as soon as they're available, so getting compiles up and running has been no problem.

I've also been using the downtime to try out the free trials on games. It's been cool checking out the stuff out there, like EVE Online, as I talked about in the last podcast. Also tried out City of Heroes, which is fun.

/mapfilter custom named

 

[VillageIdiot]

This will only show named on map

 

[chance98]

any named ?? or just the name you put.. basically like checking out old zones see what nameds are up but hate trying to find them when they are all the same color

 

[VillageIdiot]

that will only showed named on the map. ALL named. if your looking for specific named, it's easier to do a /tar npc (name) and open map to see where the line points.

 

[chance98]

that works ty.. i just want to be able to zone into old zones like pop and see what nameds are up... hehe love getting my whole crew there pet swarm weapons lol

i forget when using mq2map... there is a way to filter out to where all you see is just the nameds on the map... anyone remember how to filter out all the mobs begining with the letter "a".

After I use the "/mapfilter NPC" command to hide all the NPCs I simply use this command:

/mapshow #

That seems to display any named NPCs and mobs in the zone including quest NPCs.

 

[VillageIdiot]

/mapfilter custom named

This does the same thing.

I have another map question. For some reason it seems that the colors for mercenary's and corpses have been switched somehow. I cant seem to change them.

 

[CodeXtrm]

try this

 

[THX Red]

alittle more experimenting and it seems that Mercenary's color's are for some reason "NPCCorpse" color's and vise-versa. When I set NPCCorpse color to something, my mercenary then appears to that color. And when I set mercenary color to something, the corpses appear that color. Very odd.. Doesnt bother me so much that its like this then that I dident know why.

 

[chance98]

so when you do /customed named... and it shows only the named... then what command do you do to get the rest of them to show back up

 

[VillageIdiot]

i think it's /mapfilter npc show

 

[hoosierbilly]

/mapfilter custom named -- shows only named on map

/mapfilter custom -- disables the named only display, returns map to original display before you used custom filter.
