Can't See Enrage

[Lillu]

I havent changed anything on my side, but since the Halloween patch Enrage started showing up. So I am guessing Lillu took care of it for us? Or maybe just a magic otter to the rescue.

Nope, nothing was changed server side.

in the eqclient.ini under options

change
Channel08=1
Channel07=1
Channel09=1
Channel06=1

with the channels changed to =1 enrage shows

This is the solution.

Just going to pop a reply on this, i just found my enrage isnt showing either, but it definitely was the last time i played.
Nothing changed my side, i wonder if it was something pushed out with the patcher?
Literally nothing changed my side from the last time i played to this time, other than running the patcher.

I have Channel 07 and 08 set to 0 so have updated to 1 and hopefully that sorts it. Do you have to see Enrage for MQ2 to stop attacking?

[mrhorrn]

So channels 07 and 08 are for "Others Hits" and "Others Misses" in the Filter menu.
Changing this did not allow me to see Enrage again.

Manually added 09 and 06...

PS.. i just noticed the healbots are no longer summons and instead work from bank or bag... very nice

Channel's 06 and 09 do not show enrage either, so there must be something else.
I think one of them is light source, not sure what the other one did, there was nothing else noticeable.

Is there an easy way of testing this without trawling to some sort of boss mob? I think i'll just create a new eqclient.ini file for testing, probably the easier way of solving it.
Also the question on whether Enrage is required to be seen on MQ2 to stop attacking would be helpful if someone knew please

Thanks guys.

Not sure what to say but, try without MQ and see if not seeing enrage still. As for the second question, if you position the mob right enrage won't matter for your melee, and on your tank, well heal it

[mrhorrn]

Hehe i was hitting the tab button to target myself, spot heal while not hitting the mob
It's definitely something i want though, considering all the melee chars i run.

I created a new eqclient.ini and compared with the old one, but nothing is obvious as to be the problem. The only difference are named in a way it's pretty obvious what they are.
I'll leave the new one in place until i next run an Enrage mob but don't know when that will be now.

Found myself a few spare minutes so popped in to see the first boss of Sleepers.. nice and close to the entrance.
Still not seeing Enrage on the newly generated eqclient.ini file.
It would suggest there's something else going on.

Ydiss, reading back through the history i can see you also saw this, are you still getting it? Now you have some extra power to help in troubleshooting..

Considering the number of people not seeing these messages it would suggest something server side. But considering it's showing for some people, it would suggest client side. I can only assume it's something to do with the patcher pushing something out if it is client side. Patching is the only thing that's changed anything in my files since it was last working.

It's a shame, with all the new content and with Hektus beating Xeg, i was inspired to make a push myself, but i don't think i can unless i see these messages The battle spam is way too fast to be able to react quick enough, especially when i dont look at it.

[Ydiss]

It's still the same for me. I added the above suggested changes and noticed they enabled combat chat I wasn't interested in seeing and disabled them again.

I've just not had time to look into it. I'll do so at some point.

PS my status as content developer may have no effect on my ability to trouble shoot odd issues

So I tested it and I managed to get Enrage to show. By the process of elimination I deduced that the filter affecting it (at least for me) was:

Channel08=1

The others were irrelevant. As pointed out above, this is "Other Hits". So this somehow relates to Enrage. Which is odd.

But there it is.

There's definitely something not quite right about that, as I've never had that chat visible (by never, I mean right back to the first moment I saw you could filter them out in the year 2000 or so; too much spam in groups/raids). It's really strange but I have no idea why it happens this way on this client. Will speak with Lillu.

The problem with this is that means I now see the spam again (other hits show as expected). So I'll need to create a dummy/hidden chat window to store that chat type.

Filters on EMU have always been a bit odd for me. Spell ones specifically. I just attributed it to the fact we are running someone's idea of how EQ did it.
