MacroQuest64

Wasn't quite sure where to put this as it doesn't quite fit in with Macros or UI, but is too simple to be a macro, so its here

My Captions that shows level and class


/showname 1 :
*(Name) AFK LD LFG

/showname 2 :
*(Name) AFK LD LFG
[Lvl Class]

/showname 3 :
Trader *(Name) AFK LD LFG <GuildName>*
[Lvl Class]

/showname 4 :
Trader AATitle *(Name) Surname AFK LD LFG <GuildName>*
[Lvl Class]

NPC (Merchant with surname):
# - >> Name - ##%<<
<Surname>

NPC (Mob/merchant w/o surname):
# - >> Name - ##%<<
[Lvl Class]

Pet (NPC):
# - >> Name - ##%<<
[Lvl Class]

Pet (PC):
# - >> Name - ##%<<
(Owner)


* in front of name means group leader. * in back of guild name means officer or leader.


EDIT:
Added AA tags. Just took what Lax had in the default since I and my partner dont have these abilities and I dont look at the mobs name during raids much. Only added to the NPC's

Will your custom NPC display still use group leader aa ability?

For example the >> << and the #% LAA'??

If not si there a way to incorporate Group LAA's and custom captions?

Bob

leadership aa's are added for next zip. working out some other issues currently.

How would your Mob line show up on someone like a banker who is already:

NPC Name
(Banker)


Just wondering

I can tell you that the Surname for that type of NPC is (Banker) so his NPC line will show that instead of the level/class

Would it be possible (Since I don't think you can have 3 lines) to have some IF statements thrown somewhere so instead of showing full class name like the long friggen:

Shadowknight

... along the players caption,

have it show custom abbreviations

such as:

SK or SHD

not quite sure how to do this if possible.

I'd guess it'd be something along the lines of ${NamingSpawn.Class.ShortName}

Ah is that what shortname means

I was thinking something else. Thank you :)

Cool stuff. thanks.

I just made my captions for those without guilds, it would show [Lvl Class]

Useful for recruiting acctually :)

I shamelessly used your lvl / class caption for NPCs, thank you very much :)

I like this a lot, except that I miss the LAA abilities. Namely I like being able to see the >> Tank's Target << and mark 1-Adds.

Anyone care to update these captions when those features are available?

updated the first post with leader aa stuff for npcs the same way Lax has it in his default settings.

copied your new captions into my MacroQuest.ini file, and coppied that out to the main directory for later use.

I am waiting on the latest patch release to test them, but I expect they will work great and just wanted to say thanks.
