maps not working

Vanlin · #1 04-12-2005, 01:52 AM

I have done everything just like it says and it still dont work. I have done it and redone it about 5 times now. I run the auto updater and it seems to be working but when i get ingame alli get is the default eq maps. I made the new folder in the ui folder and i made the new eq2.ini text file.

Please do the following:

-Go to your EQ2 folder. Right-click the UI folder and click Explore
-Within the Explore window, open your custom folder.
-Take a screenshot of the Explore window and attach it here. (Printscreen key, paste into Paint.)

Hi Vanlin,

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. Has it been solved? If yes, then I can follow the same procedures Deathbane gave you to solve it.

Deathbane27 · #4 04-12-2005, 07:36 AM

Those weren't procedures to solve it, that's to help us diagnose the problem.

cannot get the screen shot to work lol. I think im gonna give up already and just stay with the default maps. This is to frustrating to keep trying. Thanks for trying to help.

Hey Vanlin, dont give up. The UI authors may have some clues where to identify the fault.

Deathbane, I followed your suggestions and within the UI folder I found 2 folders: Default and Fonts.

I took screenshots of the files contained in both folders and a screenshot of what is contained within the UI folder.

Please consider that the 2 screenshots belong to the Default folder but I couldn't place the whole folder in full size so I had to take 2 screenshots.

Hope this helps.

Oh BTW, sorry i don't have Paint so I used Word. Hope this is fine.

So, just to remain in line with all those suggestions...shall I uninstall it and give it another try or that wouldn't do it?...

what is your problem? and do you have any other mods installed besides eq2map that actually show up?

Doesn't Work fix for NON-English version:

How to get it to work with non-english EQ2 Versions:

The eq2map updater thinks you run an english version (but you own e.g. a german one patched to english) and doesn't know you have the english one in a subdirectory. It's simple to get it to work, neverteless.

Lets say you got EQ2 installed at E:\EverQuest2.
That places your english version at E:\EverQuest2\LP_REGION_EN_US

EQ2Map installs his UI Files at E:\EverQuest2\UI\EQ2MAP
Just move that directory to E:\EverQuest2\LP_REGION_EN_US\UI\EQ2MAP

Now you need to tell the EQ2 Client that you really want to use the UI:

Move the eq2.ini from E:\EverQuest2 to E:\EverQuest2\LP_REGION_EN_US.

It shoudl work now, the problem is it won't update the ui files with the new maps. To accomplish this just change teh config file of teh eq2 mapupdater:

Go where you installed the program: E:\Programme\EQ2MAP Updater for me.
You find eq2map_config.cfg there, open with an Editor (e.g. notepad).

Locate the following lines:

<OptionName>EQ2Dir</OptionName>
<OptionValue>E:\EverQuest2</OptionValue>

Add the LP-Directory, so it looks like

<OptionName>EQ2Dir</OptionName>
<OptionValue>E:\EverQuest2\LP_REGION_EN_US</OptionValue>

(supposingly you have EQ2 installed as E:\Everquest2)

Have fun!

unfortunately because i am working on rewriting the way the updater works the fix wont be too soon(as the code i have right now wont do the correct thing because i have started re-writing alot of the updatin sections)

Doesn't Work fix for NON-English version:

i need more detail about how the region folders work,does it only have the ui files in there, do you run the everquest.exe thats in there ect. if you run the everquest2.exe file from the region directory and the eq2.ini goes in there then you can just use the command to switch the directory the updater uses for eq2. its in the file description toward the bottom.

emiano · #13 04-13-2005, 12:35 PM

k i finally got it!
I first deleted the eq2.ini file present within my everquest2 folder then run the autoupdater again.

this time when i checked the newly created eq2.ini file the code suggested by one of the authors was there, not the other code created initially.

i opened eq2 and now the maps show POI

I can also submit POI now!!
