I think I have a third party fix for that parentheses issue now, just thought of it because I've been using autohotkey a lot.
Use this script:
Code:
#IfWinActive ahk_class (SwgClient|SwgClient_r)
(::Send (
)::Send )
#IfWinActive
Download
AutoHotkey here, right click on the green box with a white H in it, in the taskbar, edit script, copy & paste the above, save, right click again, reload script and then give it a shot.
It SHOULD overwrite if it's an input fuckup from the mod, if it's a display issue, then I don't know, but you can use Kay's 'workaround' that she posted a few pages back.
I don't use/have the mod, so I can't test it.
Yes it's known, if you need to use/see brackets you'll have to uncheck Target Status in the installer, until I find away fix the target status without breaking the parentheses.
After all these years I still haven't found what really controls the target status, so I don't know how modify it without using tricks at the moment.
Edit:
Nevermind about the above, I found a fix. I looked at the .dds of the font files and all were missing the parentheses, lol, it was just a clear space, so in game, you'd only get a clear space. I then replaced them with working .dds files but then the mapping was screwed and font would appear cut off, with the correct .inc files for the UI, I seem to have fixed it.

Just slap both folders into your SWGEmu directory and that's it! I'll prompt for an overwrite, just say yes. Fix works for both the NGE and CU version.
Davin or Uli, if you guys see this, could you edit Kay's OP and post it in?
To show the difference:
If there are any other issues with it, let me know.
Hmm I see why she might have removed it, I just checked and in game, when you select someone, their title is in white, but with blue parenthesizes with the 'fix'. Without it, you don't have any parenthesizes around the title, but lose parenthesize completely.
Edit 2:
Alright I seem to have found a hotfix to have parentheses working in chat but also having them be invisible on titles and afk/lfg.
Used Kay's trick for the font that's used on players and NPCs, but still haven't found how to actually disable them all together for the titles.

Since the fix is based on font size, there are 2 issues right now, if you change font sizes:
1.) You can't have the
"Default Chat Box Font Size" on the third setting (See these screenshot:
Visible -
Invisible), anything before or after is fine.
2.)
"Chat Bubble Font Size" needs to be kept outside of the 0.40-0.99 range (See these screenshots:
Minimum -
Maximum)
3.)
"Object Name Font Size" has to stay in the range of 0.80-0.85 (See these screenshots:
With working size -
Outside of working size)
