FAQ: MQ Chat Window

Lax · Post by **Lax** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 6:36 pm

Q: Is the MQ Chat Window detectable / Does text from this window show up in /report?
A: No. The MQ Chat window is not a "true" chat window. The EQ Chat manager doesn't know about this window, and that's what /report uses. All we have done is create a window with the same look and feel (mostly) of real chat windows.

Q: (I don't believe the hype / I don't like the window), how do I turn it off?
A: /filter mqchat off

Q: What if I don't like the chat window but I still want to be undetectable from a /report?
A: Use the telnet server.

In MacroQuest.ini:

[MacroQuest]
FilterMacro=2

[Telnet Server]
Enabled=1
LocalOnly=0
Port=6969

Then, using PuTTY or another GOOD telnet program:
telnet 127.0.0.1 6969

could someone make the chat window movable please.

I can move it by resizing one corner, and then the other, but is a hassle.

The chat window is movable, time to lay off the crack for a bit

Zerix,
you are probably using one of the MQ specific UI's. Mine does the same thing on the MQ window. The UI cuts off the top portion of the window and doesn't allow you to drag. Might be some way to address it in the UI?

This /report issue is just if you want to report something yourself and can't because you have MQ lines on the screen right? I never /report so should not be a problem for me, great idea with the chat window though.

No Homer.. Gm's can use the /report command to check your last 20 lines of text.. so if you hav a macro or a listing of all mobs in the zone in your window and NOT in the mqchat window.. you are busted!!

/report command will only take the first 20 lines of visible text in the window it was issued. If you have a window with superwho listed and another window with the conversation or bug you wasnt to report, you do /report from the window with conversation then it will only take the text from that window, not the one with the superwho outpout

Incorrect Clone39. The /report command will pull the last 20 lines from ALL chat windows. This was confirmed by the GMs at the Fan Faire.

It's all visible text (not 20 lines) in all chat windows, or at least thats what the EQ client code tells me!

humm.. i did a /report about 3 days ago and the GM told me he missed the text i was reporting. Reason was because i /report from my tell window and the problem was in the main window, so the only thing he could see was the tells i had received and sent. Also when you do a /report the text says that it will capture the text from where the command as been issued.

But then again, if Lax says the codes are taking 20 lines all over the UI, then it must be right. So basicaly.. i am really confused now and think i'll go yell at a GM.. hehe

Q: Whenever I load up a new UI I lose the MQ window. Can I get it back without having to log? I tried /filter mqchat on and reloading the default UI.

A: For me at least, all you need to do is cause it to output some MQ text and the window will appear. It doesn't redraw itself or activate until it's needed as far as i can tell.

Yeah Tom, just do a Superwho or run a quick macro and the chat window should pop right up. Works fine for me.

/filter mqchat is an invalid command in MQ2.
