ChatWnd¶

An additional window that displays all output from MacroQuest. Anything you type into this window will avoid your character log.

Commands¶

/mqchat [reset | ui | autoscroll {on|off} | NoCharSelect {on|off} | SaveByChar {on|off}]

: Configure and manage mqchatwnd's settings.

/style [!]0xN

: Set the style bit corresponding to 0xN or unset it if ! is supplied. See EQ documentation for further details about WindowStyle.

/mqfont <#>

: Sets the font size in the MQ window, from 1 to 10. Default is 4.

/mqmin

: Minimizes the ChatWnd.

/breset

: Clears the chat buffer in the ChatWnd.

/setchattitle <title>

: Sets the title of the ChatWnd. By default, it's "MQ".

Configuration¶

The easiest way to configure ChatWnd is to use /mqchat ui to open the ChatWnd configuration window. Alternately you can configure the window by using the commands listed above, or editing the MQ2ChatWnd.ini file directly.

[Settings]
AutoScroll=on
NoCharSelect=off
SaveByChar=on

(Explanation of these settings can be found in the mqchat command reference.)

Key Binding¶

By default, the chat window has a key bind of . (period) and this is handy! Rather than selecting the window with your mouse, you can hit the period key . and MQ window will be selected, so you can type a command quickly. This can be modified in MacroQuest.ini under [Key Binds] via the setting MQ2CHAT_Nrm=.
