Tab targeting has been silently removed...

[Vyal]

Everything was done by hand getting targets was tricky.

It's amazing that it was the same ones being soooooo vocal about having mob limits and AoE limits put into the game even though they were not ever a classic thing but now here you are complaining when he actually makes something classic.

The irony isn't lost on me one bit. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The option to CHANGE the key didn't appear until 2003. The feature itself was probably there since the start, just hardcoded to the TAB key.

Tab key was switch between self and previous target, right?

No, that's an entirely different thing.

We're talking about cycling between nearest NPC (or PC) here.

Life is going to suck if tab targeting is removed

I know what you're talking about. If there was the 'tab' targeting you talk of (cycle through npc), it was using a different button. Tab classically switched to self and back to previous target. That's what Dolalin's link illustrates. In the patch thread Secret's 2003 UI picture shows this too (except f8 and tab are switched around).

It's gonna be a painful one, but Brexit means Brexit.

Yes, because 52% of the 50% who voted said they wanted 'a more classic server' and therefore must specifically have wanted this feature removed.

are you sure it was removed or did UI changes just unbind it for you?

hit alt+o - go to keyboard, filter for targetting - look to see if the "cycle through nearest npc targets" is still available and able to be bound.

It's still in the options and able to be bound, it just doesn't do anything. Try and see for yourself (with the 50b patch).

Does this refer to Target cycling? Or to targeting the nearest NPC?

[Rang]
