Pet window

[Draven_Caine]

Greetings,
As I was working with the pet window and adding it to my target window a noticed that now I can right click the pet window in my target window and it has a menu for attack, dismiss, ect.

Since all this is there how exactly can I get rid of the pet window all together? If I delete the file than sony just replaces it, so what is the correct way?

Thanks,
Draven

You could just delete the content of the file, except the first <Page> with the name of the window. Set the size of the window to "0,0".

Well setting the opacity to 0 on both mouse over and normal in all the settings and making it click through.
Place it out of the way where u wont click just in-case and you wont see it any more. Thats the easiest way to remove it from your view as for removing it all together. Well one way is to remove it it from the UI. You need to be using a Custom Folder for this option as i assume you are.
Copy the eq2ui_mainhud.xml from your default folder to your custom folder
Open it and remove the line <include>eq2ui_mainhud_pet.xml</include>
save it start game
If you remove this line from your default Folder with out coping the eq2ui_mainhud.xml over to your Custom the server will fix the removed line and you will still see it. Hope this helps

I'd suggest my method above. It's better to stray away from files like eq2ui_mainhud.xml when making mods for the community. Less hassle from game updates. Either just reduce the code to not show the window, or manually hide it with window settings.

Either way, someone could get it back if they wanted by just deleting the custom pet xml, or making it visible again.

removing the include line doesnt help, i tried that as I am a modder that came from vg (hell code lol).

Let em try Drumstix's method int he next few days and see what issues I can fix. I do manage to break all things good.

i didnt know you where using it for public use i thought you wanted it gone for personal use. Drums method would be best for public use.

Not sure on the se for this UI yet, it is mostly a project my wife and I do together kinda thing.

Ok drum's method worked great, now another question, is there a way to key bind alt-P to my new pet window?

Thanks,
