Hows does the Global filter work?

i can get the normal filters to work no problem at all ie Zone filters under Hunt when the mobs spawns the circle appeares around it on my client :)

ive been sitting in plane of fear camping the golems for the past 3 days and out of curiosity i thought i would mess around with the Global Alert so i goes into the global file in my filters folder and edits it. just like zonewide alart i put in mobs i know would spawn within a couple of hours from Shards Landing basicly all named from SL plus Sarith city and Xorbb :) into the global alerts just to see where the alert would appear on my client. but nothing seems to appear. any help on this would be great and also where the spawn alert warning is shown ie in the Spawn list as a flashing message on map ????


heres a copy of my Global filter i tried to do as explained above

global filters just mean that if u add "skeleton" for example to it, any zone you enter that has skeletons in it will alert you of them... I don't know if you thought you can be in neriak and it will alert if a mob pops in shards landing for example, that's not how it works...

AHHHH ok thank you EQmule keep up the exellent work :)
