MQ2 Targets (1 Viewer)

[DioxJ]

Me again with another newbie question. Is there anyway to get MQ2 Targets to give visual notification of a mob spawning like a name popping on the screen or in a chat window?Or is it nothing but audio notifications. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I'm using the syntax /watch notify mobname npc and it says its adding to the list or hud(which i never see a hud anyway) and it never notifies me,visually at least(my sound is off) of the mob spawning.

I know the mob is spawning because every so often I will see it on my map.Im assuming Im just doing something wrong here.

/watch add is suppose to create a pop up message on your screen

/watch add npc orc

I thought so but nothing pops up,nothing shows up on my screen until im actually targeting the mob.

Ok here's the deal. I don't think mq2targets is working but mq2spawnmaster seems to be working fine.

/plugin mq2spawmaster
/spawnmaster on
/spawnmaster add "spawn name"

Open up mq2spawnmaster.ini in your mq2 release folder and
Change

[Settings]
Enabled=on

to

[Settings]
OnSpawnCommand="/multiline ; /vt 3 005 ; /popup SPAWN: ${SpawnMaster.LastMatch}!"
Enabled=on

This will create a pop up message and a Hail sound greeting when the mob spawns.

/watch add npc orc

/watch add doesnt. However /watch notify does... Also I've found no way to add an audio alert outside of manually editing the mq2targets.ini file.

I am able to get the on screen popup to flash upon spawn but no sound effect. I have my in game sound turned on. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I was reading this to my wife and she had the greatest sound effect for a mob spawning...

How do you add the sound file to be called by this mac? The only line that seems to apply is the 'vt 3 005' - what is this doing?

Figured it out !! Add this:

OnSpawnCommand="/multiline ; /vt 3 005 ; /popup SPAWN: ${SpawnMaster.LastMatch}! ; /exec c:/downloads/SOUNDFILE.wav bg"

vt 3 005 is send VT option 5 (greet) to channel 3

My MQ2Targets recently stopped showing which targets are up in the mqwindow, and not getting any notification sounds when they spawn or when zoning somewhere they are already up. Basically it's like nothing is ever up... any ideas on what's going on, or how to fix it?

Edited... I do get updates when something Despawns.......
