instant teleport

[Eshaac]

Hi,

Can we get the new upcoming "instant teleport button" added on map? I can get it on the default (when I enter game without using eq2maps program) but not when I use this program.. Not sure why that is, but it is...

Thanks

Do you have a screen shot of the button ??

Is it on Testserver only?

I got back on Test Server this afternoon after being away a couple hours - and apparently an update occurred in my absence. My game was logged out (I left my game up when I ran off to the doctor.) NOW I'm getting an error message stating that my Map UI page 1 is incompatible with the game default map (and EQ2 Map clearly is NOT working now).

I was forced to reload the default map (which has that Instant Teleport Button on the top right corner) - by command /loadui_default.... and I'm back to the very plain vanilla game map.

I hope you folks can develop a patch to correct for this so I can get my EQ2 Maps to run again! Soon!

I don't care whether the Instant Teleport button works or not! Frankly, I have NO intention of paying for teleports using my map. This is really the "outside of enough" where Station Cash manipulation is concerned. I can't afford to be paying for every hop I make around in Norrath. I'm comfortable with using the bells, the world globes, the guild hall transport system, and the flying carpets just fine! Please patch EQ2 Maps so they work in the game again .... I'm on the Test Server with this, and thank God it's not gone live yet. You have a bit of time to fix this. I sure hope you can!

To answer your question directly (I'm a regular player on the Public Test Server) yes, it is ONLY on the Test Server for now (maybe it's on the Beta Server as well, I don't know). Sony hasn't gone "Live" with it yet.

I don't have a screen shot for you, but what it looks like is a little "double gold triangle with wings" - very similar to the Ikon now used in the Station Cash bar and on the Spell Upgrade Window to signifiy that you can BUY the feature by clicking the button. At the moment that button isn't connected to the Station Cash feature - Test players aren't yet paying for the use of the Instant Teleport Feature. But they will be when it goes live.

Assuming some people don't care if they have to pay to hop around Norrath every time they click that button (it could get right pricey after a week). But now EQ2 Maps isn't working on the Public Test Server, because they've fully implemented this feature on the regular map. We need a fix fast.

Danged if I want to use the cheesy game maps without decent poi's, no /waypoint ribbons, and then have to pay everytime I go somewhere! HELP!

Ok, as i don't have access to testserver i can't have a look at eq2ui_mainhud_map2.xml until it goes live.

Here is the default file from the Testserver default location. The code is in the 3rd "page" coding section.

 
<Page BackgroundColor="#201020" BackgroundOpacity="1.000" Location="2,25" Name="Controls" PackSize="a" ScrollExtent="1021,50" Size="1021,50" Visible="false">
                <Button Location="950,6" Name="SCPonTButton" PackLocation="right,top" OnPress="smp pon pon_teleport" RStyleDefault="sc_pont" ScrollExtent="60,40" Size="60,40" Style="/ButtonStyles.sc_pont" Tooltip=":f:Quick Access Teleport"/>

I have tested to add the button, but it dosent look good, not even on default.
Has eq2ui_ButtonStyles.xml chaged to ?

Is it possible to get a default screenshot ??

Ok looks a bit better, replace file and make it read only for now.
Report if it works.

It might have been changes to window_elements_specific.dds to.
Might explain why it still don't looks good.

Hold it, let me investigate further as there was an update to the test server this morning and has some how disabled modded eq2ui_mainhud_map2.xml file to where ingame map does not work at all. You get the error I have attached to this post.


Update.. I'm not finding anything that was updated.. nothing showing in logs for today's update. Only thing I've found different using notepad ++/compare are the files default map2.xml and the one in custom folder.
