First: a guildie has macros that include little things like skulls, hearts, stars and the like, and he won't tell me how he creates these. Can anyone tell me, please?
Second: one of the Gatherer addons that I have is driving me crazy. It (and I think it's Gatherer that does this) makes a ring on the screen around my character with all the various herbs and minerals and chests dotted all over it. It seemed like a good thing at first, but after you've gathered a bit it becomes very difficult to see what's going on with all this in the way. Does anyone know which addon this is, please, so I can uninstall it?|||Quote:

I hope not. That crap is not adding to the game, on the contrary, it is annoying for others. The less people know about it the better.

Use trial and error.|||Quote:

I'm overwhelmed by your helpfulness (or something). I have used trial and error and can't get rid of the gatherring thing.|||Quote:

What kind of guild mate is this ? He should be glad to share his knowledge...
Anyway, you can assign those icons to mobs by right clicking on their portrait and assigning a raid symbol, assuming you are either the party leader or at least raid assistant.
If you want to create a macro for assigning these, look here : http://www.wowwiki.com/API_SetRaidTarget

this is your opinion, and noone asked for it. You get the award for the most useless and least helpfull post. Yay for you, two in one. I will keep a eye on you.|||Quote:

Thanks very much. I didn't bother much with macros until about two months ago but I'm beginning to understandd just how helpful they are.

Thanks again. I think what reall ticked me off was that he assumed (and he knows nothing whatsoever about me) that I'd use any information to spam guild chat or be a pain.|||Quote:

The problem with people recently is that they cannot even ask the question in a proper way.
"a guildie has macros that include little things like skulls, hearts, stars and the like"
From what you said it looks like you are looking for a way to type nonasci characters within your macro code. What else would you want to have nonasci charcters in your macro than spam? I assumed that because i have seen way too much of that crap in game. And always when someone spams that crap - there are numerous asks in the chat "plz tell me how to do it".
If you have asked about the icons over targets models, i would give you proper answer.
As for your other question, how are we supposed to know what mods are you using?
Obviously you are one of those persons that want others to read their minds and are unhappy when others fail to do it.
Apparently Twoflower has much more psychic powers than i, as he was able to guess what was on your mind.|||Mollymog, that addon is indeed Gatherer. I also use it, and I always make sure to disable all the things that it wants to add to my minimap for the same reason you give: it's really annoying to look on your minimap and you can't see a damn thing because of all the icons blocking your view.
What you do, is type /gatherer in the console, which will bring up the list of options. Go through the tabs on the left and have a good look at the options in there. Make sure that everything for the minimap is unchecked (found iirc both on the Minimap and General tabs) and your problem should be solved. :)
And as for the raid icons in chat, you get those by typing the name of the icon in between { }. So typing {skull} would make a skull appear, and {diamond} would make a diamond appear.|||Quote:

S'pose Twoflower has read more of my other posts and knows I'm not at my best in the morning after a long hard night shift. Anyhow, doesn't matter, I've just added your name to my 'don't bother reading, he's another snarly one' list and that's fine.|||Quote:

Exactly right about all the clutter it puts on your map right in front of you. I like Gatherer and what it does, but that surely isn't either good or helpful. I've been attacked by things with ranged weapons that were obscured by one of these little herb-lets or minerals.
And thanks for the other information. It's just what I wanted to know.|||Quote:

i read his question once and i knew exactly what he was talking about. if YOU were confused, you should have asked.
Molly: its in the gatherer options somewhere. i got it the first time it loaded and was only able to take about two minutes of it. i disabled it shortly thereafter. its in the options somewhere. if you dont figure it out by tomorrow i'll post it since i wont have access to the game until tonight.
