Question - No more Xtarget window?

[cwrose2479]

Before the patch my mq2 allowed me to bypass the xtarget lock on the TLP server. After yesterdays patch it no longer works. Has something changed?

 

[opop]

Am curious about this too. The xtar window was simply amazing. Hopefully DBG didn't fubar things.

 

[robotirl]

I came to the forums looking for a solution for this. If anyone finds a fix please let us know.

Also wondering, I instantly noticed and miss it.

The Xtar window was enabled via MQ2. Something changed between the newest compile and the previous. I've had someone suggest it can be enabled with a custom UI, but I'm unable to confirm this.

 

[jfcatch]

I read on another thread that they were working on it. Did anybody have a problem with the tooltip window as well? Mine didnt seem to load.

 

[Redbot]

There were some changes to targeting in this compile that I suspect might have something to do with it. Maskoi said he'll look it over this evening.

was this ever resolved? i'm still having this problem and it seems to have greater effects. what's strange is that i'm noticing that some of my characters xtarget windows are still working, while others aren't. it seems to be character specific as it doesn't matter which isboxer instance i load them into. when the mobs don't show up on the xtarget window though i'm noticing that kissassist doesn't seem to work correctly. my enchanter has all of a sudden stopped mezzing and one of my mages will not assist the MA. oddly, if i put the toon on my second computer, which doesn't have the xtarget windows even showing up anymore, they work just fine. i'm going to recompile mq2 and see if that helps. will report back.

^^

Are those characters grouped with your puller etc?

Out of group characters won't assist your MA with kissassist running, because npcs do now show up in Xtarget window if the character is ungrouped. Kissassist will only assist/attack npcs in their Xtarget list.

Downlaod the latest MQ Compile here.

Do this on everY character that doesn't have the window:

Very Vanilla Compile 20150821A POSTED
New Compile Uploaded
XTARGET ON TLP SERVER FIXED

Xtarget does not work on TLP servers with any compile.
If it did, like people say it does with ours we know nothing about it.
Its pure luck and coincidence.

if you were to use these commands on Ragefire or Lockjaw

/xtarget show on
/loadskin

and the xtarget window just happen to pop up. You are probably hallucinating and once again we at RG no nothing about it.

thanks ethereal i'm going to give this a try sunday night when i have some time. hopefully this will resolve it. Which compile is the latest one 20150821A or 20150901? i would assume the 9/01 would be but is A the xtar window fix compile?

To be clear, they are in the same group as the puller and should, for all intents and purposes, see the xtar window.

I have no problem with dps assisting off the MA in group 2 as long as they're in a raid together.

Yes, 9/01 is the correct one.

 

[LurkMcGurk]

confirmed that this did not fix the problem. the same toons that it didn't work on before it still does not work on, while the ones it worked on, it continues to function normally.

 

[Maskoi]

Are you running a custom UI on any of them?

 

[LurkMcGurk]

I am not. I run the stock ui on all of them.

ive noticed also that it seems that the MQ window's location itself is not being preserved on the toons that are "broken." I have to drag it into the correct place on those toons every time i log them in.

Are they all on same comp or diff comps?
Are they all using same version of KA?

[General]
KissAssistVer=8.3.0
Role=Assist
CampRadius=10

Are you running any add-ons, or disableing any features on some but not others?
Are the ones getting the xtarget window the same every time?
Do some chars on that account get it and others don't?
Do these accounts have char on other servers?
More info on your set-up might help narrow things down.

the failing toons are all on the same computer

addons, isboxer i run 6 toons on this computer no patch. all toons are the same. only difference is clip plane on the toon i drive on.

Are the ones getting the xtarget window the same every time?

yes it seems the same toons are always broken no matter which instance of isboxer i load them up in while others are always working.

Do some chars on that account get it and others don't?

a freshly made toon does not seem to have the issue. this leads me to believe it has to do with a char specific file somewhere.

Do these accounts have char on other servers?

the accts do not have toons on other servers

More info on your set-up might help narrow things down.

sorry this took so long to get back to you.

If I read that right, the toons not getting the x target window are all on same comp, while the toons getting it are on a different comp than these are?

Have you tried loading these toons on the other comp to see if they get it while on other comp?
Have you by chance tried just deleting MQ2 and all related files on the comp that ISN'T getting the xtarget window and restarting fresh to see if that helps?(sometimes a corrupted file causes alot of havic)

Have you double/triple checked to make sure that all comps are running the same plugins?

Sorry if any of this seems redundant, but knowing specifics helps narrow down WHERE the issue might be, even if not the WHAT it might be hasn't come clear yet.

 

[LurkMcGurk]

sorry, i may not have been clear there. the toons not getting the xtar window are indeed on the same computer. but there are also toons on that computer that have the xtar window functioning properly. So not all of the toons on the computer are failing. i have purged my mq directory and all related character ini files to no avail.

edit: i have loaded them on the other computer and they seem to work properly but the thing is that on that machine the xtar window does not appear on any toon and i get the msg saying i have to buy underfoot to get access to the window. After the last compile the xtar window disappeared on that machine but the toons continued to work.

 

[Meistro]

Well, possible long shot... outside of MQ2/KA...

Try and find your UI_Charname_server files. (example, mine C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest)

in both the characters that x target works for, and ones that don't, look for the section marked:

[ExtendedTargetWnd]

do they both have this? do neither have this? does one have and another not?
If have, compare, do they have the same stuff (mine do, but not necessarily in the same order).
check the x/y values, maybe one is "in screen area" and the other is not:
(example)

Show=1
XPosWindowed=3927
XPos1920x1080=1764
YPos1920x1080=849
Width1920x1080=161
Height1920x1080=232

I have had these out of wack for different things and had to change them to bring a window back into the screen.

 

[LurkMcGurk]

AutoAddHaters=false...

not sure how that happened but flipping the flag to true has seemingly fixed the problem. thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Meistro]

Glad we could get you fixed up...not that I did much but ask questions that lead you to finding your own solution .

 

[etherealmist]

Bump, because I'm tired of looking for that xtar thing all the time!
