Ageous A Fire Beetle Join Date: Jul 2002 Posts: 2	Loss of the Hitsmod feature Anyone know how to set properties of a second chat box, or is there only one set of chat box properties that they will all use? I would like to make a second chat window and turn off the scroll bar, chat entry window, make it transparent, and turn off the boarder. That way I could filter to only have melee go there and achieve close to the same effect as having hitsmode command. If anyone knows how to use /hitsmode with the new UI, I would love to hear that too. Last edited by Ageous : 07-27-2002 at 05:16 PM.

The problem is that i want to seperate "others attacks" from "me getting pounded on". I'd like to have me getting hit in the main chat window instead of with the other melee spam.

I play a 60 ranger, and the battle spam from a max-hasted, double attack, dual wielding class is, um, impressive. What I often do is send the melee text to a window and minimize that window, but (unlike the old hitsmode) the new UI sends things like "ENRAGE" messages there too . (Enrage means the mob auto-ripostes when it is very low in health, which means monks, rangers, etc. want to turn attack off and / or be behind the mob so we don't get pasted by something that hits for 300+ a pop.) Grunt. Mutter mutter mutter.

lunakin A Shissar Defiler Join Date: Aug 2002 Posts: 176	Filtering 'my hits' and 'me getting hit' to two different windows can be done, and I believe enrage and rampage are also filterable, so they can be directed to a different window than hits, I have them going to my spells window. The hitsmode option on the bottom of the chatwindow right click menu lets you change the damage messages to full message, abbreviated message, and just the damage number. The window properties are pretty much set, and they affect all windows. But, you can find some interesting ideas to cheat this in this thread: http://139.81.52.39/forums/showthread.php?threadid=2328 Hope that helps Lunakin

I like em like that (ps : dont rub the wrong side of a Halfling Warrior Lass ) ps: also set the colours to red / green, with the misses in a slightly darker and les saturated shade, VERY intuitive I would think __________________ "I'm not a shrimp, I'm a KING PRAWN !" -- Pepe the shrimp.
