This is the error message I received when loading in today.

try just re-running the updater and it will probably fix itself.

is there anyway i can dl the xml with updated POI manually?

Finally someone else with this problem! Yes several files halt at approx 98%. I have found terminating the updater and relaunching will allow the patches to continue however it is probably leaving behind corrupt files.

I was working on this with the dev. But he couldn't seem to find anything about it... so yes it is confirmed sir it is NOT just me! There is a bug in your software.

One thing that I was curious about... I noticed we both get a connection time out... could the sever and/or client be dropping people? Does it attempt to reestablish the connection? Or just drop out after so long of no data?

Suggestions: This might help in troubleshooting in future versions as well as be a nice feature... connection status display... auto-retry connection when dropped... exclude specific mapfiles... download as tmp file when complete rename and overwrite old file to avoid corrupt map files.

These are the things I've tried (not necessary in the order posted):
Deleted EQ2.ini
Reinstalled EQ2MAP
Deleted Custom UI folders
Deleted EQ2MAP folders in UI directory
Reinstalled Dot net 2.0
Removed my ini files containing window positioning etc
Changed entire EQ2 directory to not be write protected
Disabled firewall
Copied the file from a friend
Deleted the file
Made a new file with the same name

But it still halts on icons_blackburrow_2.xml with the following error:

The operation has timed-out.
File: icons_blackburrow_2.xml

Any suggestions would be great.

Fresh install of EQ2..I have no custom UIs. Trying to run the updater and keep getting:-

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Doh thats a file I manually deleted from the server because its a file for the webpage and not the in game map interface. Some map author put it in the wrong spot a while ago. I'll have to get taco-man to remove that from the file list or show me how to do it.

It should have downloaded all the other files though...

It halts the program there and wont give me the option to run eq from EQMapsUpdater

first time user, problem... core_process.xml

Unable to read data from the transport connection.
File: core_process.xml

It seems that this is the only file that is causing me problems, when I try to update, it stops at 64% of that file, and basically hangs the program until the error message pops up above.

I just am installing the program for the first time and am probably messing something up, but I have the microsoft framework installed, have rebooted since, and have tried to patch that particular file about 8 times with no luck yet.

anyone care to hit me with a clue-by-four and get me on the right track?

ok im dumb

i tried and tried to follow the instructions on how to install this UI but im at wits end here everything i do results in ....nothing.... like as in like i have done nothing. my map window is still the same with the same ol maps and everything.

I need literaly a step by step instructions here is what i did

Current Install Steps:
Download the interface you wish to use Done eqmaps
Make a new folder with any name BUT with no spaces or special charaters (example: bobsui) in the UI folder that is inside your Everquest II directory.
made a folder inside the UI folder called mapui

Unzip the xml, dds, tga (dds,tga's must be in a images sub-folder) files into your newely created folder. Please make sure you dont have a folder inside of a folder when you do this. %\Everquest II\UI\bobsui\jillsui\*.xml (wrong) | %\Everquest II\UI\bobsui\*.xml (correct)
this paragraph is confusing first it says to put the files in different folders then is says dont so i have everything in my mapui folder atm

If you are going to use multiple interface peices just unzip all of them into the same folder. this is as confusing as the last statement

Go back to your Everquest II directory and create a new text file and put the following code inside of it:
Code:

cl_ui_skinname bobsui
cl_ui_subdir UI/

did this in a new .ini file and not a ini.txt

cl_ui_skinname mapui
cl_ui_subdir UI/mapui

Save the file as eq2.ini (make sure you dont save it as eq2.txt or eq2.ini.txt)
Load up Everquest II and your new interface should be working.

Same ole map window

Once they fix the /loadui command using custom interfaces will be ALOT easier and these steps will be updated.

you set your eq2.ini file up wrong, just delete the eq2.ini file and run the updater, it will make one for you that works, it will make your custom folder be name EQ2MAP.
