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.

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???

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.

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.

Yes it seems that all inside maps (i.e Nek castle SH, RV, ) maps tool tips don't work..

The button should appear in the map window, on the upper right hand side. It should just be a checkbox.

Folks, we apreciate the help but there really isn't any "List" being kept. Posting such and such zone has this problem is only making it harder for others to find the relevant info.
Let me summarize the problem and resolution for everyone.
There is a known bug on SOE's end affecting virtually every pre-KOS indoor zone. These zones were not designed to have maps to begin with so were never setup to include fog layer data. Previously the layer was disabled in those zones, so wasn't an issue for our custom maps and POIs.
As a result of changes made in the EOF expansion, an empty fog layer is now overlaying and blocking the custom POIs provided by EQ2Maps for these zones. This prevents clicking most POIs and icons on the map and disables tooltips for them.
This is not a problem we "The EQ2Maps team" can fix without causing other problems. SOE needs to change code on their end. SOE is already aware of the problem and do plan to fix it. Since its not a problem for any zones with an "official" map, it may not be a top priority and may be a while befor it is fixed.
There is a work around...
Using FetishNightfall:
The Fog button should be visible in the upper right corner of the map. Click it twice, then however many times it takes to set it unchecked.
If for some reason the fog button isn't visible, use the command below to make it visible.
Using every other version of EQ2Maps:
1) type the following into your chat box to display the fog button (Caps matter).
Code:
/show_window MainHUD.Map.FogCheckbox
2) Click the now visible Fog button twice, then however many times it takes to set it unchecked.
3) Now click the World tab and back to Zone map.
Your POIs should be unblocked.
