I want to show my y,x,z loc and my heading dynamically while moving. I have already added it to MQ2Hud and that works fine. But, greedy bastard that I am, I'd like to have the loc+heading text appear in the center of my screen so I can view it without having to look away from the main action.
I'm not clear where the "size" of the MQ2Hud is set, but I'm guessing the display coordinates do NOT cover the entire EQ window, because if I try to set the display location to what I think is the center of the screen the text doesn't show at all. In other words, I think MQ2Hud is limited to a small rectangular portion of the main display and any attempt to go beyond that section results in no display of the desired text.
Hope that makes sense.
My next attempt would be just to create a small chat window and try to direct the loc values (y,x,z) and the value of heading.Name dynamically to that window but I'm not quite sure how to do that...
Or is there a simpler way? I looked at MQ2Popup but that only displays plain text and for a short period of time.
Any suggestions?
