No tooltips or waypoints in Rivervale after Expansion
 

Hi. I just logged in for first time after Echoes expansion. I was in Rivervale West. When I open map, there are POIs, but if you hover over them, no tooltip telling what the icon is, which also results in not being able to create a waypoint. I went to Rivervale East, with same result. I zoned out to Enchanted Lands, and tooltips show up fine. Logged back into Rivervale, still no tooltips. Anyone else have that problem? I tried reinstalling EQ2map, but didn't help. Is there a way to just reinstall a map?

Thanks.

It wouldn't do any good to reinstall a map. The POI's set on top of the map pic. Dolby will have to check into that as that info is all generated server side.

The same problem is happening in Sol Eye. I can see the dots but i get no tooltips

I'm having the same trouble. I've dloaded all the updated files as of yesterday afternoon. Since they have launched EoF the tooltip works only very sporadically. More often than not I get nothing when mousing over the map and I can't click on any POI's to create waypoints. All I get in these cases is the NSEW arrow pointer???

I also have the same problems in Rivervale and Drafling Tower...haven't been to other zones yet to see if there are any problems though. Thanks in advance!

Experienced the same problem in Stormhold.

same problem in stormhold,fallengate etc.. I couldnt find still the solution.Anyone have suggestion?

Same here....more to come as they appear! :D

No tooltips in Ruins of Varsoon either..

The Clefts of Rujark.............dots but no tooltips there either. Maps work perfectly for other DoF zones, just not dungeons, since EoF launch.

Unfortunately, please add Living Tombs to the list of zones missing map mouseover info.

I am using the Auto Updater (Version 1.0.6). Wasn't sure if that is pertinent to know, but figured I'd give you as much info as I could.

Thanks,

I noticed this happening with my game in maps that aren't "main" areas... Example: Thieves way, the bloodskull area off of the commonlands, wailing caves, etc. But the commanlands poi all work... Hmmm... If I unlock the window and mouse ove the icons, I get the +, or move symbol to move the map window around, but no info for the icons...

Ok, I can't believe no one has picked up on this. The tooltips aren't working in any zone that wouldn't have a map if you never downloaded EQ2Maps. Most of these are dungeons.

I had to do "To Speak Like a Dragon" yesterday to get my Tunare cloak and what a royal pain in the behind it was to find where I needed to go in all the zones. It took me at least 6 hours extra to complete the quest because of this.

I wonder if SOE did something to block EQ2Maps in these zones.

Seems to be consistent with many zones
 

Areas that don't normally have maps ... seeing the same thing, the latest for me is crypt of betrayal

The same problem is happening in Living Tombs - all the courts. I can see the dots but I get no tooltips

They definately have changed the way maps work in EoF, so they might have altered the way those old maps work in some way.

I doubt SOE would deliberately try to stop this project, when they've "helped" with it in ways and supported it in a sense for so long.

I'll send an email to Bobble at SOE and see what he thinks.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been in the new lands ever since so havent noticed it.

I dont see anything wrong with our code so if any one finds any more info about this please let me know. It looks like it might be on SOE's end but I'm not sure.

adding everfrost to the list

Everfrost is working just fine for me...

sorry. my mistake. i meant permafrost. EF was working as you said.

Whats weird is that Cazic poi's show just fine and thats a custom map in an old world zone. Still waiting to hear back from SOE.

Same thing is happening in Nektropos castle. :mad:

Some zones I tested where the map tool tips don’t work…


Interesting zones that tooltips work…

Sent that to SOE as it almost looks like indoor zones that dont have the fog of war enabled are effected. In the 2nd expansion they were able to place fog of war on custom made maps and I went to SoS an indoor zone with a fog of war and the POI tool tips work just fine.

I'm a lowlevel player but so far Vermin Syne and Stormhold don't work, and there was 1 other dungeon I went in where it didn't work that I can't recall atm. But as has been reported it seems pretty consistant many/most are dungeons.

BTW I just wanted to thank whoever put EQ2MAP together because its the absolute best mod I've ever used, the wife and I love it!!!

Fog of War is in fact a client inserted layer that absorbs input (blocks mouse-over and click) unless uncovered. Its quite possible the layer's visability is being hidden indoors but input absorption isn't.

Note: EOF brings the first "official" indoor maps to date. Good chance SOE tweaked the map code to accomodate something. Nothing new in the super/sub map setup for GF.
