rename rom window to player name

[nerdyone255]

sometimes when playing a few characters at once in a party i find myself losing track of which client is which on my taskbar when windows are minimized.

what code can i pop into a waypoint so that it will change the titlebar of the window its running to the character name of that client?

i remember this being done by some program, but cant remember if it was rombot or someting else.

setWindowName(getWin(),player.Name)

setWindowName(getWin(),player.Name)

That will change what is on MM, I think he wants to change what is on the actual game.

RoMeo would be the one to answer you that. His multiboxing bot changed the name of the windows and i asked myself the same thing but just quitted in the end cause didn't really need it...

setWindowName(getWin(),player.Name)

if you place this in <onLoad> of your profile it actually changes the window title of the game. I did not expect that.


To change the MM title you need to locate function timedSetWindowName(profile) in functions.lua and replace BOT_VERSION with player.Name

Code: Select all

--BOT_VERSION, displayname, player.X, player.Z, player.ExpPerMin, player.TimeTillLevel));
player.Name, displayname, player.X, player.Z, player.ExpPerMin, player.TimeTillLevel));

If you also want to remove the trailing "Rom Bot " in the title you have to edit string 600 in your language.lua

Code: Select all

--[600] = "RoM Bot %s [%s] (%d,%d) - %d exp/min, %d minutes till level up",
[600] = "%s [%s] (%d,%d) - %d exp/min, %d minutes till level up",

Very true, I didn't look closely enough at the code posted.

This will change MM, but since MM has an existing timer you need to do more to keep the changes, I posted a user function somewhere to handle it.

Code: Select all

setWindowName(getHwnd(),"stuff")

and this will change the client itself

Code: Select all

setWindowName(getWin(),"stuff")

The important difference is getWin() and getHwnd()
