Mook skin w/MiniMap update!

[Deathbane27]

This is a skin for the EQ2MAP window designed to cut all deadspace out of the window so you can better see what you're doing with the window open. It also includes a mini-map plugin originally developed by Talyns, allowing you to shrink the window further and view only a portion of the map.


Installation instructions:

• Use The EQ2MAP Autoupdater to install EQ2MAP, or download the most recent pre-build.
• In the EQ2MAP Autoupdater options, make sure "Ask to overwrite MainHUD.Map" is checked
• Unzip this file to your custom UI directory. If your unzipper doesn't retain folders:
  • eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml goes in [Eq2 directory]/UI/[CustomFolder]
  • All other XML files goes in [Eq2 directory]/UI/[CustomFolder]/eq2map
  • minimap_widgets.tga goes in [Eq2 directory]/UI/[CustomFolder]/images
• Select NO when the AutoUpdater asks if you want to overwrite eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml.

The last change to eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml broke the old version, and the next one would probably break this version, so I decided not to spend the extra 4 hours making it work off the existing scripts, assuming that's still even possible. So you get to click No when using the Auto-Updater.

Update: Player/group icons positioning in Minimap fixed. Thanks Talyns!

It's Talyns's minimap. He was going to get it updated for the default EQ2MAP, but I don't see either of us minding if you do it first / as well.
