HP Gauges for others/monsters missing

General Discussion Started Last reply 61 posts
Hi, When you turn on hp bar (gauge status indicator, that red thing above pc/npcs head ^^) you can see it on everyone except mobs and/or RBs (or at least in kartia). I cant find anything in the patchnotes so I suppose its bug. Just reporting :)
Pretty sure it was changed. You can see it on urself, and party members only now QQ.

Don't even see the HP of my own Clan pet now.

EDIT: Let me be clear that I am not confirming this as a bug, or change,... I am not sure,... It was NOT in the notes as you said.
I've noticed this also.

but in option it's still there as something to choose....I can't even see the buffs I casted on my npc's! which is really really bad!!

it would be horrible if they would have changed that for good, i mean how would we be able to AOE properly if we cant target the mob with the most HP anymore or if the healers cant see the HP bars directly over the pets and so many other things involved here... i really hope its something they have overlooked and forgotten while redesigning the interface.
I cannot turn them on. Seems this option is not working. Now I can't control someone's summons HP or HP of mobs which are not in my target. If someone knows how to turn it on I will be happy ^^
had major problems in kartia with my healer alt healing NPC's :(

There's the solution... many thanks to the author.

It seems that there's some issues with the HP gauge settings; some in-game settings do not work.

In Option.ini look under [Game] for these options:


bShowAll=True
bShowMine=True
bShowParty=True
bShowFriendly=True
bShowHostile=True
bShowFriendlyPet=True
bShowHostilePet=True


Now scroll down to [ScreenInfo], there's some more bShow things.

Compare the two and add the missing ones to the [ScreenInfo] section and set them to your preferences. Just note that to change those gauges the game is ignoring you'll have to edit Option.ini again (/statusbaronoff won't affect them for example).
hi. this option is not working correctly. can only see the status bar of party members but not the status bar of monsters, raids, other players and servitor :(
i see the option.ini and all "bs" are in true. but i still dont see the status bar in game :(
You're probably missing a couple lines that aren't written in the ScreenInfo section (you must copy-paste them).
is it legal to edit the option.ini as said on some posts before? any gm could answer it? dont wanna change something and then get a ban
the option.ini is ok to edit that's why it's in readable english.. all the other files are encrypted and those you're not supposed to modify..
Before this week maintenance , the sugestion posted by Circumrad solved the problem (ty for the post) , but it seems now HP bar on others PC aint work anyomore even with the sugested changes , it seams only shows hostile npc´s once you engage them , will NCSoft clarify if is intended to take HP bar from other players for good or is still and issue to be solved .

many thanks to the comunity

Good game and have fun

The fix worked when it was tested on QA (when all turned on, the gauges showed no matter if you engaged the target or not). If you made modifications to the options.ini file before the maintenance the fix may not have applied correctly. Try deleting the file entirely and let the NC Launcher rewrite it by doing a Repair.
I proceded as indicated but nothing changed , im able to see npc´s hp bar but not other players not in party , i delected the file runed repair , delected the info inside the file runed repair again and nothing about hp bar on players.
Asked several people ingame and they still have the same problem.

I just checked on live servers and could trigger the HP bars turning on and off as intended with no issues. This shows that it is no longer a server-side problem, but I'm afraid I don't know what else to suggest since Repair didn't work for you and some other folks. :( Please contact support about this.

correctly, however you forgot to explain so that when you test it is not opened and closed his lineage 2.
So is a tip all the time have to reconfigure it is not saving.

PC -> player character, unless im totally mistaken,
mobs indeed shows just fine, however QA or whoever made fix, managed to perfectly separate monsters from flagged/war tagged players as a Hostile targets.
this is where issue is, who cares about HP on mobs while it shows in target window anyway ...
try to see HP on players that aren't in same party with you, most important war targets / flagged

tip for people that work on this issue, its not that something isnt working, there was simply a change in Option.ini comparing to before Glory Days, Section [ScreenInfo] got added in this update, however 2 lines were missing on day of update, and this is where u look for fix, there is no reason to separate types of hostile targets.
and one we're looking at this moment is "bShowHostile"
not havin hp bars in pvp kinda ***** with the pvp.
My Option.ini contains only (bShowMine, bShowParty, bShowMySummonPet, bShowPartySummonPet, bShowNPC)

ShowMine = Player
ShowParty = Member //That means party member, or clan/ally member? or what exactly?
bShowMySummonPet = Friendly Target´s Pet and Servitors
bShowPartySummonPet = ? // This settings controls what?
bShowNPC = Hostile Target // that controls hp bar for mobs and not other NPCs aka GK, WH dwarf etc. i hope

Where is the setting for other Players, Enemies etc...????
There's the solution... many thanks to the author.

Tried this with the game off. Saved it, restarted cpu, launched the game. No changes.

In short: This "solution" does not work.
their last fix un did our work around so yeah...
....who cares about HP on mobs while it shows in target window anyway ...

I care about the mobs HP, becouse when i do AOE skills i choose a mob with most HP from others and if i make marks with the summoner i need the mob with full HP to refill my mana....

of course i need HP bars on PVP too its awfull without status bars
Confirmed that HP gauges now show for monsters, but they are still missing for other players. We'll update the bug report about this issue so that we can get another fix for it.

Wonderful. :(

I wish, then I might actually want to come back to play here again.
The HP Bars in PvP are removed from one of the Echo updates :

http://wiki.terragamers.net/index.php?title=Echo_Misc_2

Welcome back to Lineage 2 :)

This is wierd, this info is from Echo 3 update, we should have Echo 2 only.
But if i compare my ingame interface with the information about it from this link, they matched.

Since when we have Echo 3 on our servers?

Hidden ninja updates perhaps, not like it's never happened before. Personally I do not miss the gauges as I never used them, and hate the fact that you can see other players buffs. :P
That maybe caused the bug in the first place...

Anyway i always thought that they added the HP gauges in order to compensate the effect of the PVP programs a little.
I just found that we miss the ability to display cloaks (or not to).

As you said Piotress, we really dont have the same client as the koreans....
NCsoft is a dwarf ? Why ? Only dwarfs can have money ?
Btw I hope it's fixed after today's maintenance.


^ just what the heck does this have to do with anything...looks like "Thread Derailment" to me...try posting that in the appropriate section of the forums......i believe its called "Nonsensicle Posts" LAWL
back to only program users can see hp. :mad:
it's really dumb as people got used to it and taking it away like this will only cause more people to use the well known cheat programs to be able to play as they got used to..

and it's not like that's so hard to figure out either.. nor is the ban chance even remotely high when using such progs as NC has no clue in how to deal with them or just doesn't want to deal with it..

either way if you pvp legit you're at a serious disadvantage right now versus just being "handicapped" before.
what he said! :D

any updates on this as I feel the consequences of this mess every time I have pvp.. really don't want to have to install certain progs to compensate for it..
Why updates? Its working as intended....
I know but as explained before now that we know the difference it can make in pvp it just means those who don't use progs are really just being dumb at least that's how it feels to me when I know for a fact the majority of end game uses such..

It's a simple thing they can do to prevent further escalation of the existing problem with how pvp cheats are applied for almost everything nowadays..

Things would be different if occasionally GM's would actually do something about it but that has been years ago and when there's close to zero "getting caught chances" it's not seen as a big risk/thing to break that aspect of the ULA.

Considering the amount of money I spent in NCoins the fee it cost to run such progs is small change so I really do feel like an idiot for handicapping myself..
11-02-2012 last update from GM; which gives us few weeks of waiting and there is still not even any ETA about solution issue.

Please keep in your mind that through such activities, people who do not cheat are discredited. And in some twisted way you give awards to people who use third party programs and the worst they do not give a *pip* !

On the end pls do something about that.
++++ for that thing back
I can not believe this. They removed a nice thing that allowed legit players to have now only cheaters can have with their well known programs? You have to be kidding me...

Why NCsoft discourages legit people from playing this game every day?
Because the players in Korea do not cheat.
Is this topic fixed issue, known issue, dead issue??? Is it now the way it is suppose to be???

Are we suppose to, or NOT suppose to see HP status bar on every one, and thing again, or not??? LF confirm, all I wanna know is if it being worked on, or will stay as it is currently???
A) option is the correct one.

We are not supposed to see the the HP on other players since the Echo 3 patch.

Aight, thanx. I'll take your word for it until I see a GM. post a reply stating otherwise. :)
The disabling of HP gauges for other players was intended for a later update, but it was included in our Glory Days release. The current change will not be fixed since it will just be introduced in the very near future. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Please feel free to make a suggestion in the Suggestions forum if you think this option should be turned back on or stay the way it is now.

Does NCWest have the rights to turn it back on?

No, they don't because the function was removed from the system.

Oh my, I had no idea Juji had a second account on here.

Juji already stated it was not going to be fixed, and no I am not Juji but I do play on the Korean servers where the staff interacts with the players in the forums as well as in game. Plus I have visited NCEast (Korean) headquarters (got to see the server software and how things work) and have contact with some of the Korean staff.

Maybe I will go for another visit next year for my vacation. Would be neat to see what the Korean developers have in the works for the future, although I will probably have to buy them dinner again. lol

Thats nice and all but that doesn't answer my question nor was the question for you.

I doubt you will get such an answer since NCWest seems to avoid answering questions regarding what they can and cannot do. I wish you luck anyway.

Personally I like the change and also wish they would remove the ability to see other players buffs.... ooh, I can suggest that when I talk to the devs again. :D

Thank you for your help in making the decision to install third program ... as usual, great work! Keep it like that.

explain to them what zR does to our servers and how it renders many of their tweaks totally ineffective.. ?

honestly I really prefer being able to see the HP bars etc. by ingame features over installing 3rd soft but if they can not block said 3rd party soft then what choice do you have when playing this game competitive in NA/EU region hmm ?
