Distance Display mod

Little mod that might be handy for the spellcasters out there:

In EQLib_Main.cpp change:

	while (!gbUnload) {
		Sleep(1000);
	}

to

Code: Select all

	while (!gbUnload) {

		if (*EQADDR_TARGET!=NULL)
		{
			PSPAWNINFO mychar = ((PCHARINFO)(*EQADDR_CHAR_INFO))->pSpawn;
			int dist = (int) DistanceToSpawn(mychar, *EQADDR_TARGET);
			char temp[32];
			sprintf(temp,"%d", dist);
			strcpy(mychar->Lastname, temp);
		}

		Sleep(250);
	}

This will overwrite your lastname with the distance to your current target 4 times pr second.

In the default UI it will be just below your firstname, but you could play arround with your UI and place it anywhere you want

you could modify the target window to display /whotarget info in real time...

isn't this what was talked about in a previous thread? the ability to add macroquest enhanced features into your UI? i think what gandalf says would be cool, maybe even have a whole table of info come up when you target something, i dunno just a thought. i don't have a whole lot of knowledge with coding and crap =P

***Do NOT point it to your first name.

When people were targetting me for invites to group or whatever... I was showing as a number instead of my name.

Not so sure this is a good idea after having people tell me this stuff.

I immediately relogged and undid the changes.
