The EQ2MAP just got some major changes to work with GU40. For two weeks the auto updater is downloading certain files that it doesn't normally download. See these posts in the Fetish forum for more information.

In the EQ2 Map updater program, make sure that the option to not overwrite the mainhud file is checked. That *should* keep it from altering the mainhud_map file.

Also, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the UI or with the core everquest.exe but I've found that if I leave the map open when I zone then things get garbled. Try keeping your map closed when zoning and see how that does.

Being Turkey Day week and having family come in, I may not have the time I'd like to to spend on trying to find a solution beyond this and I do apologize ahead of time.

Thanks Othesus! Just read your post here :)

I love all the hard work you've done on EQ2Map and I GREATLY appreciate being able to utilize it.

RoK was a larger change than I expected and a lot of things got altered under-the-hood. It's simply going to take some time to get everyone on the same page, so to speak, in terms of getting all our stuff to work together. :)

Which zones does this happen in? Does it look like this?

Some things are miss-aligned and the POI at times shows double entries that are overlapped on top of eachother. I have then copied the original EQMAPs contents back into the DarkSoul UI folder and the map looks fine in terms of frames. What am I doing wrong? I've followed instruction to the best of my knowledge but as soon as the EQ2MAP updater runs it messes up my frames of my map and POIs for the most part.

These are the folders located under the \UI folder:

Default
FetishDarkSoul
Fonts

That's it ... any ideas?

Okay, this is what is working for me.

Go back and extract DarkSoul again as normally. (make sure you are not in EQ2, of course :D )

Mark the following files read-only - To Do: Have them selected in explorer, right click and select Properties and mark the read only box. (I will do this next update if necessary, as they should extract read-only also):

in DarkSoul Folder:

eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml

in eq2map Folder:

core_menu.xml
core_plugins.xml
skinnable_Skinnable_Styles.xml
skinnable_WindowElements.xml
zones_freeport.xml
zones_qeynos.xml
zones_world.xml

NOW... make sure you have the latest Auto Updater for EQ2Map and run it. It should say.. blah, blah is read only a few times when it updates and that's okay :) It seems to be working fine here

Yeah mate, pretty much - or I get the icons from the previous zone. It happens sporadically. I just zoned in Neriak and used a druid portal to get to butcherblock and it was fine this time - LOL!

I think it's a bug on the icons "layer" of the map window and I think that might be a thing sony has to fix?

Thanks alot of the help that did the trick. This leads me to the next problem. Can we use POI Finder upater software (using 1.10)with this theme? Seems it over writes certain files and messes up the POI window and does not show any POIs. Should we refrain from using the updater? The notes on your download page says it is updater friendly so I tried it.

Thanks in advanced!!

If anyone can answer please give me a quick reply.

Slight Problem
 
Hi, Awesome UI. It works great, except I cant move the location thingy with the clock. I can unlock it but I cant get it to move. I got the 4 arrow cursor but for some reason it wont drag where I want it. The compass moves fine but the location and time of day parts wont budge. Its kinda in the way in the middle of my screen :( Thanks for any help.

Try right-clicking and in window options uncheck the click-through feature. That should let you move it. :)

Any ETA on an update, that has the new manniqin, pet, and latency info windows?

Evangalion 03-05-2008 01:54 AM

am getting an inventory34 some number or other loot window is not compatible after this mornings March 4th patch.

Raenewae 03-06-2008 05:21 PM

Please don't leave us hanging, we love your UI!

deKoven 03-07-2008 07:48 AM

Well, a quick "fix" is to rename the only file that has "loot" in it's name. Then DarkRoyale will put up the default loot window and all the rest will work as it has done.

the mini map
 
is there a way that the mini map can have all the features of the main map with the eq2map updater so that we dont have to push the map button to get all the features of the enhanced eq2 map.. otherwise the whole ui is extremely awesome all the new features are very helpfull and i have sent my whole guild a letter telling them about the ui.. You might also want to see if you can intergrate this program i found that is helpfull as well its called the advanced combat tracker. it helps with both pvp and npc fights look into it :nana:

Netherworks 06-03-2008 07:45 PM

Left the game for a while and have returned. I am in the process of updating the DarkSoul version of the UI. Compatibility with the last several patches is priority. Optional components will be updated afterwards.

Sorry for leaving you guys hanging for so long.

jackbytor 06-03-2008 11:46 PM

Yey! Glad to hear it. I can't wait for the update. Are you gonna update DarkRoyale too? /rubs hands in anticipation :D
