What’s new

What changed in each Nag release. You can also open the Update Notes window from the Settings tab, by clicking Notes at the top.

v0.2.27 (not released yet)

Fixes

  • The Setup window no longer gets stuck. On a new install, or after Nag’s settings files were lost or damaged, the buttons could stop working and the window covered the app. This affected every version since 0.2.23. Anyone already stuck is fixed automatically after updating.
  • Clear All works again on live servers. EverQuest’s October 2026 patch puts ~ in front of the player’s name on /emote messages. That stopped the built-in Clear All trigger. It now accepts both the new and the old format, so it also keeps working on emulator servers.
  • The Death Recap hotkey works again on live servers. It had the same problem. Existing Death Recap triggers are updated automatically, unless you edited the phrase yourself.
  • Your own emote triggers. Make the new ~ optional so they work on live and emulator servers. See the FAQ.
  • The Heroes Journey. Character and server detection when adding characters is fixed, and so is direct-damage spell parsing.
  • Timer durations ({TS}) are read correctly. “10 minutes” used to become a 10-second timer and “90:00” became 9 hours. {TS} now understands “5m”, “10 min”, “2.5 hours”, “1h30m”, “1 hour 30 minutes”, “28 minute(s) 1 seconds”, “1:30” and “1:02:03”.
  • {N} captures the whole number, not just its first digits.
  • “Your resolution has changed!” no longer appears on a new profile. If your monitors turn off and come back, the message now closes by itself once the screens are back to normal.
  • Timers end when an NPC or pet dies on live servers. Live now says “was slain by” instead of “has been slain by”. New triggers handle both, and existing ones are updated automatically. Emulator servers are not affected.
  • SVG timer icons now show in the Timer, DoT Timer and Stopwatch editors.

Security

  • Safer shared triggers. HTML in trigger text, overlay names and log text is cleaned before it is shown. Formatting and styles still work, but nothing in it can run. Overlays no longer load images, sounds or fonts from other websites. Sound files from shared packages and Quick Shares are checked before they are saved.

New

  • Pets in Combat Statistics. You can add pets and assign them to their owner. Nag also finds pet owners from the log, so pet damage goes to the right player.
  • Better player identification in the combat parser, including class abbreviations.
  • More sound formats: .ogg, .m4a, .opus, .webm and .aac, as well as .mp3.
  • Easier to read and use: a three-column action type picker with icons, phrase boxes that grow as you type, End Early phrases you can reorder, a Regex Visualizer for capture phrases, a better color picker, sorted variable and sound lists, shorter console timestamps, and title bar text that brightens on hover.

Other changes

  • Nag is now open source at github.com/guildantix/eq-nag.
  • The installer is no longer code-signed. Windows SmartScreen may show an “unknown publisher” warning the first time you install. Click More info, then Run anyway. Updates install as usual. See Install Nag.
  • The Patreon banner was removed from the Update Notes window.
  • The Allakhazam trigger generators are removed. Allakhazam does not allow automated access, so the Allakhazam DoT, Buff and Raid Ability generators are gone. The EQ Spell Resources generators are unchanged, and triggers made earlier keep working. To refresh an old DoT or Buff timer, see Re-import a timer from EQ Spell Resources.
