Thanks
'Leader' was actually the first thing I thought of, but the only reference to the string 'leader' in eqstr_us.txt seemed to be in relation to pets. Turns out the 'Leader' string the shared task window uses is hardcoded into the client. Anyway, I stumbled across the right bit of code and can now get member names to display:
Never having done one of these shared tasks on live, I have lots of questions, which hopefully someone can answer.
If you are in a group or raid, can only the group or raid leader request a shared task ?
If the group/raid leader accepts a shared task, do all the group/raid members automatically become members of the shared task ?
Presumably some of these tasks can take a while to complete. If a member of the shared task is offline when the rest of the task members complete an activity, is the offline members task updated when they next log on to show the activities completed while they were offline ?
Can any subset of task members complete an activity and have this updated to all other task members in other zones or who are offline, or does the task leader need to be present when the activity is complete for it to count ?
Can new members be added to the shared task at any time ? Do they need to be grouped with the task leader ?
I see a message in eqstr_us.txt: "Your shared task is now locked. You may no longer add or remove players." When do tasks become locked and why ?
Presumably when the shared task is completed, only the task members online and in the same zone get the rewards ?
I'll probably have lots of other questions, but that will do for now. If anyone with experience of shared tasks could help me out, that would be great.
(I did google for information and read up on tasks on the SOE Knowledge base, but there didn't seem much useful information available).
