# Mapfilter ## Syntax **/mapfilter help|*****option*** **\[show|hide] \[color R# G# B#]** ## Description This controls what appears or does not appear on the in-game map provided by [MQ2Map](/macroquest/plugins/core-plugins/mq2map.md). * **Help** will show all current settings. * ***Option*** can be one of the following followed by "show" or "hide". If no show/hide argument is given, it will toggle the setting between show and hide. | | | | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **All** | Shows/hides all map items **that have already been set to "show".** | | **Aura** | Show/hide auras. | | **Banner** | Show/hide guild banner. | | **Campfire** | Show/hide campfire. | | **CastRadius #** | Show a cast radius circle around your own spawn on the map. Set to "hide" or "0" to disable. | | **Chest** | Show/hide chests. | | **Corpse** | Master toggle to show/hide all corpses (PC and NPC). | | **Custom** ***searchfilter*** | Set a custom filter, which can contain any filtering arguments from the [Spawn Search](/macroquest/general-information/spawn-search.md) page. | | **Group** | Whether group members should be listed in another color. | | **Ground** | Show/hide ground spawns. | | **Merceneary** | Show/hide mercenaries. | | **Menu** | Enable or disable the right-click context menu | | **Mount** | Show/hide mounts. | | **Named** | Displays only 'named' NPCs, other NPCs are filtered out (not perfect). | | **NormalLabels** | Toggles normal EQ (non-MQ2) label display. | | **NPC** | Show/hide all NPCs. | | **NPCConColor** | Whether the dots on the map should be the same as the NPCs con colors. | | **NPCCorpse** | Show/hide NPC corpses. | | **Object** | Show/hide destructible objects (as were implemented in Prophecy of Ro expansion), like catapults, tents, practice dummies, etc. | | **PC** | Show/hide all Player Characters. | | **PCConColor** | Whether the dots on the map should be the same as the PCs con colors. | | **PCCorpse** | Show/hide Player corpses. | | **Pet** | Show/hide pets. | | **SpellRadius #** | Show another radius circle around your own spawn. Functions the same way as **CastRadius**. | | **Target** | Show your target in a different color. | | **TargetLine** | Draw a line between yourself and your target. | | **TargetMelee** | Draw a melee range circle around your target. | | **TargetRadius #** | Draw a radius of # around your target. Using "hide" or "0" will disable the TargetRadius circle. | | **Timer** | Show/hide timers. | | **Trigger** | Show/hide trigger locations. | | **Trap** | Show/hide traps. | | **Vector** | Display heading vectors. | | **Untargettable** | Show/hide untargettable spawns. | * Any of the above options can have "color R# G# B#" added to them, to set the color for that specific option. Omit the R# G# B# values to reset them back to default. **Note:** The use of custom is a one time event, it is not persistent. ## Examples This will set a red **CastRadius** circle around your own spawn on the MQ2 map. `/mapfilter castradius color 255 0 0` This will display all NPCs between level 60 and 65 within a radius of 50 `/mapfilter custom npc range 60 65 radius 50` This will display all NPCs within a radius of 1000 `/mapfilter custom npc radius 1000` This command can also be used at larger ranges by entering a larger number. To restore the settings saved in your ini and remove your custom filters use the command without any parameters. `/mapfilter custom` ## Troubleshooting **Question:** My map is no different than normal and /mapfilter all had no effect, what did I do wrong? **Answer:** Each individual filter needs to be turned on individually, */mapfilter all show* does not toggle all filters to "show" as might be expected. ## See Also * [MQ2Map](/macroquest/plugins/core-plugins/mq2map.md) [Back to Slash Commands](/macroquest/commands/slash-commands.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
