Can no longer search within Maps

Hawks0013 · #1 04-11-2009, 12:35 PM

All is updated running Eq2maps and ProfitUI reborn. Was working several weeks ago. Went to a new zone which I had never been to and obviously went to do a search to locate something (up until then I had just rerun previously visited zones with my diff alts). Well when I went to search within my never before visited zone (not that it matter but it was common lands).
I have just been linking to web for quest info... But it would be nice to have that feature working for me again...
If you need additional info to help me with this problem just let me know...
Thanks for this great addon... I really like it a lot !!

Check your Options and make sure you can search partial words.

I have searched all the posts that said their search feature was broken. Mine is also broken and has been for several weeks.

The only thing that seems to show up at all that I have found so far is if I type the word transport and find I get a list of the portals/griffons but that is the only thing I've found so far. It does not find any of the things on the map that I know are there.

the ui/maps search options for partial words and searching are both checked.
I tried re downloading all files.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no help there.

What next? I miss being able to search.

My "ALL" tabl doesn't work, and I can't look up anything or get a light trail by using the search function. Yesterday I got some kind of error message about the eq2.exe not found, but the maps still open. What can I do to fix this issue. I really miss the functionality of my EQ2 Maps. I am running WIndows XP .. but now I have a stupid nVidia firewall in it that I can't get rid of.

I checked the Partial Word Option in the game options, and it IS selected, but the problem persists. I can no longer search for POIs within the "ALL" tab listing, nor search a specific POI by name in the maps, or get an X on the map at their location. Something occurred 2 days ago when I first got the error message indicating the EQ2 Map.exe generated an exception, and I can't get the maps to function now.

I am wondering if that god awful nVidia Access Manager firewall that was installed when my PC was repaired recently (after all my motherboard drivers failed and were reinstalled) may be at fault here. I can't remove that or my Internet won't work, but I don't know how to access it to force it to allow EQ2 Maps to run unhintered either. In any case, I truly miss the functionality of my EQ2 Maps, altho they do run in the game without the search capability. They are just far less useful, and it's very annoying. I'm not a programmer, just a woman who loves the game, and this program. Anyone have a solution to this very irksome problem?

Yes, just read the tooltip on the "All" button, I put it there for a reason.

PS: Also it's time for this one again I think:

What one to I click on first? I am confused, to many red boxes that are not numbered for sequence..

Sigh.. yes, I have gone into the Options in EQ2, and I have checked those boxes. I've checked to make sure they are selected 3 or 4 times. EQ2 Maps STILL is not functioning correctly.

There was a very recent update to Net 2.0 ... I don't know what version Microsoft has now, but I'm wondering if their stupid Net 2.0 program screwed up EQ2 Maps. SOME people still have Search functionality apparently (asking in game). But I don't. And some others in my guild don't. So something is wrong somewhere, and this time it isn't "operator error". I hope you can find a solution to this. Running with EQ2 Maps only 1/2 functional really sucks! (No doubt about it, I am dependent on your marvelous program, and it's awful not being able to look up POIs and get a light trail anymore!)

Oh, and the "Tool Tip" for the "All" button just shows a list of stuff, all of it grayed out and untouchable - so that's not working either.

I discovered that Microsoft installed Net 3.0, and Net. 3.0 Svc Pack 2 on my PC. I am removing those and reinstalling EQ2 Maps after completely removing it for the 4th time, to see if getting it back to Net 2.0 will allow it to work. I'm hoping that will resolve the issue with EQ2 Map search functionality.
