removing default MQ changes (colored text, etc.) (1 Viewer)

[ohyesnine]

Hi,

I just started using MQ2 today. The ONLY thing I want it for is the DPS meter, because I hate loading up YALP after every good parse mob to see how it went. I contribute a lot of screenshots to Allakhazam and make raid videos for my guild etc. so obviously I can't have NPC names being weird colors, or my class being highlighted in an item link, or the pet owner being shown under the pet name etc. Is there any way to turn all of that stuff off? Thanks

MQ2itemdisplay, unloading that will take away the highlited and extra item info, and i know editing macroquest.ini can get rid of the colored mob names and owner name under pet name, i just can't rememeber what exactly to change.

What about LDR at the end of a group leader's name? I nearly sent a tell to somebody asking how they got LDR at the end of their name when I had /show 1 on o_O Thanks btw

I think you just Delete this part of your MacroQuest.ini

I spoke too soon heh, seems that MacroQuest re-adds those lines itself every time I delete them. I'll try downloading the MQ source code myself and stopping that instead of just using a pre-compiled version.

Actually I believe all you need to do is type "/caption mqcaptions off" and either hide the MQ window under another, or "/unload mq2chatwnd". Then just reload the window after and "/caption mqcaptions on" to go back to MQ. or :

Sub Main
   /caption MQCaptions off
   /delay 3
   /keypress FULLSCREEN
   /delay 2
   /keypress NETSTAT
   /delay 10
   /keypress SCREENCAP
   /delay 10
   /keypress NETSTAT
   /delay 2
   /keypress FULLSCREEN
   /delay 2
   /caption MQCaptions on
/endm
