no i can't download because the browser open's a new window and show me the text of this *.xml

[taco-man]

make sure the updater has permission from your software firewall to access the internet, i believe win xp sp2 has it's firewall enabled by default.

I'm having the same unhandled exception error now too. I haven't installed anything at all since yesterday (when it was working fine). I've installed the new .NET beta framework today after getting this error and still have the same error message.

This is by far the best mod and I want to keep using it - it still works fine on my wife's pc so at least I can copy the updated files from her pc for now.

Any ideas on a solution for this problem?


[edit] I just installed the 0.97 beta of the map updater and it works fine now

I am having a similar problem with the display of the updater on one of my computers, it only shows 1/4 of the area and I cannot resize it to show the entire window as it seems to be locked in size.

I didn't get a pic of it but just imagine that only the top left area of the updater shows, the rest (3/4) is off the area of the updater window.

It looks fine on my PC but it is my laptop that has this issue, I run WinXP sp2 with all current updates on both.

Resolution on the laptop (Dell XPS) is 1920X1200 whereas the PC is running a resolution of 1280X1024, this is the only graphical difference that I can discern.

Simply allowing the window to be resizable would fix it for me, but I would really like to see the whole thing one way or the other =)

Thanks for the great work, I <3 this map program!!!

The update program, EQ2Map Updater, never opens a full window on my XP system (SP2) and there is no way to resize the window to full. I would like to see the text of what is going on in that window. I did not find anything in the FAQ that applies to that.

[taco-man]

the next version will be resizeable.

Per the message in the updater, I am posting this problem with some observations. The crash seems to happen whenever there are a largish number of updates (most days of late). It also seems to be when there are only one or maybe 2 updates left although the progress meter usually sticks at 50+%.

If another application is already open at the time of the crash, you can change focus to it by clicking on its window. I am not sure the existing application remains totally functional. You can even start a new application by double clicking on a desktop icon. However, those new applications (including Task Manager) will hang during startup or shortly thereafter. In all cases the system tray (mine autohides) will not raise and I have to resort to the Reset button to get the PC back.

I am running WinXP Home on a 2.8 GHz P4 with 800 Mhz FSB, 1 Gb of memory, Integrated NIC and an ATI 9800 XT (Pro I think it was).

Thanks for a great UI Mod !!!

Still don't see any POI's showing up in Feerroot despite quite a few listed.

[MsUnderstood]

On my map system, rivervale east doesn't appear to work.

My map guide falls off the map at some point and it never moves to the other map for rivervale. Anyone else have this trouble?

[tonyis3l33t]

yep this is a known issue.

[FlorenceSopher]

At least in Thundering Steppes. I just logged in, via the updater, and when I opened my map all the eq2map poi's are gone. World map still shows the zone connection overlay so I know eq2map is running...

[tonyis3l33t]

rerun the updater

[Slithren]

Thanks, Slithren

I recent updated all windows patches, then ran the .net update from this site. Everything installed fine. Then I ran updater and installed it. It ran fine. Started updater, and it ran thru all files and got "up to date" and autoran eq2 from itself. After logging into my char, nothing. Same ole map files. Reran everything again. Nothing. Uninstalled updater and reran, nothing. Still same ole eq2 map files I have always had.

What am I missing or what am I doing wrong?

For ui skin using default. And my ui file reads it is pulling from my default skin

your problem is that you dont have a custom interface folder, what you have done is told eq the your custom folder is the default folder. the point of having a seperate folder is so that the Everquest 2 patcher does not overwrite your custom files.

just delete your eq2.ini file and run the updater it will make it for you and create a custom folder named EQ2MAP in the EVerquest II\UI\ directory

[monyetman]

I get this message every time I open the updater...

Error Getting File List:
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

Have checked firewalls, got the .net 1.1 windows update and looked through the forums. Anybody have any suggestions?

thanks

are you behind a proxy?

Hi,

Love EQ2MAP - it has made EQII much more user-friendly for me. I've only ever used it via the autoupdater with no recent problems, no crashes, and all maps were displaying as expected (with POIs and the extra maps that EQII don't supply). In the last 24-48 hours, however, many maps are no longer showing any POIs. I still see the tradeskill map, Oakmyst and Down Below - but the POIs are gone. The maps for Antonica, Thundering Steppes and the various townships around Qeynos look like they have reverted to the standard EQII maps. The "world" map is the EQ2MAP version however.

Yes, I have been using the autoupdater to launch EQII, so I've been getting all the map updates 2 or 3 times a day :-).

Is this the same problem the previous users reported?

Any ideas on what I can do, or perhaps a problem has crept into one of the recent changes ... and wiped out all the POI info? Any information will be highly appreciated.

Oh yes, and the EQ2Interface "minimap" that I'd been using for the past week has stopped working too - though I'm not sure when. Perhaps these problems are interrelated ...

Regards, David

db2005, my first suggestion would be to go to your custom UI folder, find eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml and delete it, then re-run the auto-updater. I've experienced trouble with the auto-updater properly updating this file.

taco-man, auto-updater 0.96 and 0.97 seem to only use MD5 for the icon pages, and are just doing an exist check for everything else. I'm not 100% sure of this; if you look over your code and find this isn't true, yell at me, but I tried running the newest version then a semi-old version (just before you went to an installation executable, 0.95f I think) and the semi-old version downloaded a couple files that the new updater didn't (eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml was the only one of importance I noticed, hence why I suggested to db2005 to delete their's).

Quib

[taco-man]

are you sure? i just opened up the mainhud_map.xml file added a "1" on the first line saved it, and re-ran the updater and it re-downloaded the file so it seems to be checking for me???

[Quib]

Fair enough, I'll do the same test on 3 of my machines and let you know. I'll randomly mess with some of the DDS files too to be sure.

What I experienced before with eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml I can't explain, but I'll also be pushing a new version of that file to the website within a few days, so will have another chance to test that as well.

Ok, the good news is I didn't have any trouble with the auto-updater when I butchered the files and ran it, so yeah, I don't know why I had trouble earlier or why there've been a handful of sporadic problems where deleting files then updating fixed them.

So yeah, didn't mean to scare you, just am scratching my ehad about what went on earlier.

db2005, if you're still having trouble, I'd suggest you try deleting your eq2map folder completely, re-running the updater, then reinstalling the MiniMap plugin on top of that.

Hi...i recently downloaded ur autoupdater map project and have really enjoyed it.

The only mod that I am trying to use in conjunction with EQ2map is: http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3442

as u can see this is a hotbar mod....anyways....I dowloaded EQ2map and played around with it for a little last night, then this morning I log on to check the broker and the broker in East Freeport won't bring up the broker window for me.....can't get the broker window in Efreeport, Fence, or my home

is this one of those 'the two mods have done something funky together' ??....The reason why I haven't totally just reinstalled is b/c this is the day they SAID they were doing broker selling without having to be online or in the house....which makes me wonder if for some reason they screwed something up (but no one I have talked to is having this problem).....

so to recap...EQ2MAP is working nicely....my orginal Hotbar mod is working nicely....but the brokers won't bring up the broker window

Any ideas?
thanks

[Dolby]

PuttyUTK, is that you cant type in the broker window or they just wont open the window at all?
