How about people start making custom UI's for MQ?

Updated EQTypes:

While that would be good, I'd have to say that buttons would be a helluva lot more useful. The numbers are a bit of a hassle but once you adjust it's not a biggy.. Buttons.. So much power in buttons

In fact I know exactly what to do. Hold the parade, I'll have some code up soon

I think to do this "right", it would require:
1. Our own CPMPLabel class based on CSIDLWND with a custom Draw method that would send our <PMPString> tag value through ParseMacroParameter()
2. Editing SIDL.xml to define our class's xml layout.
3. A hook in the XML parser to interpret our class during parsing, initalize it, etc...

I've got something easier I think.

Hook CLabel__Draw which is 0x4F903B
public: virtual int __thiscall CLabel::Draw(void)const

SlotID is the variable for the EQType. If SlotID==MQL_CUSTOM, trampoline then PMP the XMLToolTip which is from <ToolTipReference> tag. Set window text equal to the parsed result, and we're golden. If it's not our custom slot id then just trampoline.

Try that, too busy right now to whip it up but could do it in the morning if needed

Should add $target(id) to the above list, would be a nice way to keep track of the mobs, especially for debuffing multiple mobs that are standing on top of each other :)

Done coding the custom id's, just need to test it quick, then I'll update the main post.

Need.. Now.. *twitch* Actually I'll just add it onto my own. Sorry I seem a lil eager

Me or him? grabbing a smoke myself ;)

and just in case it isn't obvious... the old hook and detour/trampoline (and #define in mq.h) go away

Oh, and I just checked this thread is averaging about 1 view every minute for the last 4 hours ;)

Was thinking... should we put the <115 check back in to save a couple cycles when it is a standard VI EQType?

Might as well.
