Description
I never entirely liked any of the icon sets for EQ2Map, so I decided to combine the parts of all of them I liked into a single set. It turned out the easiest way to do that was to create a new set from scratch. So here it is. It obviously requires EQ2Map installed (the default UI's map icons are stored differently, it's not just a matter of dropping a replacement DDS file in). Inspiration for parts of the icons came from the EQ2Map icons, the ProfitUI icon set, Milquetowst's alternate icons and the Sage UI alternate icons, but I did the actual artwork for my set entirely from scratch.

The player-location arrow's narrow to make it easier to tell which way it's pointing, and has a centering mark in it. The group-member icons are multi-colored and have single white digits that I find easier to read than black ones. The POI icons are smaller but still simple colored dots. (Note: as of TSO the icons are the stock ones, I haven't finished updating things yet and I'm not sure small dots will work with the new, more colorful map backgrounds.)

To install, just follow the instructions in the readme.txt file included.

Version 1.3b - updated for a new _Skinnable_Styles.xml
Version 1.3a - fixed the directory name in the installation instructions.
Version 1.3 - fixed to work with the new map system in TSO and the new EQ2Map.
Version 1.2a - fixed the file name to be a bit less obscure.
Version 1.2 - removed the skinnable_Skinnable_Styles.xml file, I'm permanently going to use the one that comes with EQ2Map now.

Looks great. Little thing I noticed in the readme:

Following Line:
"Make backups of the eq2map/icon_map3.dds and
images/icons/skinnable_Skinnable_Styles.xml files, just in case you want
to restore the originals later."

Should read:
"Make backups of the images/icons/icon_map3.dds and
eq2map/skinnable_Skinnable_Styles.xml files, just in case you want
to restore the originals later."

One Question

What does the map location look like? I am using Fetish maps that have the confusing flashing orange ring and I prefer the white X to show a POI location. Even a flashing white dot would do it.

Thanks,
Badattitude
