Akeph, I read thru your long post about parent / child and I still agree with Psychogear that the Pet_HP is a hard coded reference in the game EXE.
Can you show us exactly why he doesn't make sense?

I just checked something ingame. I went to my EQUIPlayerWindow.xml file and removed everything in Pet_HP except for the preamble:

<Gauge item = "Pet_HP">
<ScreenID>PetHP</ScreenID>

</Gauge>

Then I started EQ and checked that my pet's green HP line under my own HP gauge has disappeared. Yet when I remove the 3 lines above from the xml file, the game crashes as we all know.

I then searched the entire Everquest directory for the string Pet_HP and found it in the executables.
