I have run MapperLive with a real log from a running copy of EQ2. I was able to move around the zone and grab locations which immediately showed up in the map display.
I am running Windows XP. 1) What OS are you running? 2) If you are running Vista/Windows 7, does running MapperLive in Administrator mode fix the issue? |
1. Im using Vista.
2. Running as admin does not help, i can't get it to work :( |
I think we need a command to reset mapper completely, bc now it parses values from all the log, and doing that reset automatically on zoning will be inconvenient for multiple-session mapping.
Also for problem with win7 (and I think vista) 'not reading' I have workaround with macro "/log /log" I just press it sometimes, and mapper catches new portion of locs. Btw ACT has the same problem with w7, somewhat solved it w/o running as Adm. |

Ah, websearch to the rescue.
I think I found ACTs solution, so I'll see if I can't implement it and push out an updated version. |

Just thought I would add that I am having the same issue with Vista. MapperLive doesn't work in realtime under the OS. I have gotten it to work using Bram's workaround by changing my hotkey/macro for /loc to have three commands: /loc /log /log
This way every time I grab a new location it also refreshes the map in MapperLive. :) |
I do have a fix for this which I got from the ACT dev. I'm just running into some other issues that were why I had halted development before. I will try and get this updated and pushed out prior to the next expansion, for sure. I just need a block of free time to refactor some code.
I will also make sure that my next release includes the source code, so anyone can do development if I get hit by a bus. |
Sounds good. I was looking forward to trying this out on Win7 soon.
PS. Please don't get hit by a bus! |
I'm not on the computer that I play EQ2 on so can't check this right now but I don't recall seeing an "always on top" option anywhere. Is there a way to make the program stay on top so we can see it as we map without having to resize the EQ2 window?

Just wanted to say I used this to map out the Emperor's Athenaeum map.
Used it on Win7 while EQ2 was actively running. The map would not auto-update, as said above. If I went an opened the log file phsyically in notepad, it would cause the Mapper to update, but my simpler work around was to just uncheck "Auto parse" and then re-check it to update my progress. It crashed on me a few times, usually after setting a new layer. Not sure why, Win7 is kind of annoying when things crash as it has that window saying "Attempting to find solution" and I always hit cancel before I can copy over any crash details. Not really a big issue cause all I had to do was re-open and I was back where I was, cause the log file is the where the good stuff is :P Thanks for the work you've done :D Btw, Inkscape crashed on me once or twice. The first time I lost an hour's work :( I learned to save often, as I have with other apps. |

I took another look at my code this weekend and I appear to have coded myself into a corner. I think I have fixes for the issues you're seeing, as well as implementing some of the requested features. I just need to dig myself out of a code hole before I can release those fixes to you.
I just don't understand how to write multi-threaded code in .NET. Curse you, "delegates"! |
oh the self corning.. yea I hate it myself.. I tell me self ever time I do it I'll always thing things through before instead of just going on the fly but yea , I've said that many times.. lol

That just sounds wrong. ;) But yeah I've coded myself into a corner as well. It usually happens when I start out with a relatively simple idea and take shortcuts... but then later want to add a more complex feature that requires me to not have taken those shortcuts and then I end up rewriting everything. |

I've already done a major rewrite of my map data structures. The problem is my layers panels. The way I have them constructed they need to be updated by the auto-parse thread, which is separate from the main form thread. I had it working for a while, but when I was doing some rewrites I didn't test it as thoroughly as I ought to have, now it doesn't work for some cases of auto-parse. I realize I'm going to have to basically rewrite the whole class and I'm just not looking forward to it. None the less, I shall attempt to carry on. I want to give a world class tool to support all you mappers. |
