Save settings presets for EQ2MAP?

[MadCrafter]

There are + button where ya can change what you wanna see on map and what dont, basically i dont want any of this just just eq2 map because it have some additional maps.

I kind of tired of disabling all this little dots on map each time i rezone or die, is there some way to set EQ2MAP to not display em by default?

Sorry there isn't. SOE doesn't save object states into the uisettings.ini file that hasn't been hard coded to do so, thats why you have to recheck them every time.

You may ask why don't we make it so it's defaulted off? The answer to that is; more people want them on then want them off.

Ok then another question how i remove all this dots clusters, nameds etc. from EQ2MAP mod so they never apear?

I'd like to know too. This has been bugging me majorly lately. I like all the maps and such, but the POIs are extremely intrusive when they continue to add up. Only POIs I like the most are Zone ones, but anymore then that it gets to the point that I can barrly even see my self or group members from all the dots.

I tried editing core_menu.xml and changing the states of Activated=false and checked=false instead of true. No luck.

Can anyone offer any help on this? I'm gonna try something else later and see if it works.

I like to use the POIs when I need them, but find it much easier to look at a website in windowed mode and copy in the location to create a waypoint rather then search for 20 minutes through tons of POIs.( Suggestion: Allow us to search through POIs by name. That'd be neat =D )

I am interested in this as well. If there is some xml code I can edit to turn most or all of the POI's off by default, I'd like to know because I would certainly do this. They are useful for when I need them, but I'd rather not see all the clutter unless I need to.

Darn, I was coming here to ask the same question.

So there's no way to do it? Even by editing the files by hand?

Hand-editing:

Open (EQ2)\UI\(thyfolder)\eq2map\Skinnable_WindowElements.xml in notepad or your favorite text editor.

The second line should be

<Button AbsorbsInput="false" Name="Reset" OnActivate="Parent.Size=NormalSize

followed by 20-ish lines of script. Paste the following into that OnActivate script block:

Parent.QM_Menu.popup.CLSTCheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.CLSTCheckbox.Checked=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.LOCCheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.LOCCheckbox.Checked=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.MOBCheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.MOBCheckbox.Checked=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.NAMECheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.NAMECheckbox.Checked=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.NPCCheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.NPCCheckbox.Checked=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.QSTCheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.QSTCheckbox.Checked=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.ZONECheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.ZONECheckbox.Checked=False

Remove lines for items you don't want hidden by default. If you only want the Locations and Mobs off by default, only paste in:

Parent.QM_Menu.popup.LOCCheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.LOCCheckbox.Checked=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.MOBCheckbox.Activated=False
Parent.QM_Menu.popup.MOBCheckbox.Checked=False

Easy enough once you know how.
