hello i am running eq2 map updater current version. that works perfect. what i cant get to work is anything else. i am installing them in the same directory (i named it myui) in the everquest2 folder. i have the ini set up correctly in the main folder
i am rather at a loss. would like to have the journal and a health bar and a couple of others but cant get any love. i have read the help files and cant seem to get any clue on what is wrong. any help would be great

now i am confused on the loadui command. do i run that with the file name? or with the folder name? have not done that cause it seems to kill all my personal settings.

You might have said this, just making sure: if EQ2MAP is installed in

Everquest II\UI\myui

then everything else needs to go into this same folder. You do not need to edit eq2.ini (the eq2map updater has done that for you if eq2map is already working). Nothing else needs to be done except for what the individual install instructions of the mods you are installing might tell you. Certainly do not use /loadui (ever).

EXACT same problem. I cant get anything but the map to work. I am unzipping into the bobui (yes I named it same as in instructions)
Please help

I just tried again ..unzipped into C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\bobsui and it didn't work
I am not a computer person, just an ordinary woman
After I unzipped it to that folder, that is all I did. Am I missing the next step?

Are you using the auto-updating version or the manual download? If you are using the latter, have you created the necessary eq2.ini file to point at that directory (I believe the auto-updating version automatically creates that file for you)?

I did everything step by step in the instructions sticky including creating that eq2 ini
i have tried several things and the only one that worked was by goldi but there were problems and he/she never answered my questions so i deleted it.

With the goldi file there was something given to run but with the others all I see to do is unzip it.

If you have a working UI there is no need to make a new eq2.ini file.
As it allready pointing to your UI folder.
Just add the files to the same UI folder.
Make sure the files don't end up one folder to deep.
Compare with the Default folder should have the same file tree

All files missing in your UI folder are loaded from default, so they need to have the same file tree.
