Build 1.2.5 is out.

Should fix all know issues to man kind, It even answers the question why are we here.. Ok maybe not the last part...

light blue crappy background
 

How to fix this and get the light blue to go away? The POIs are there, btw.

Light blue? IDK what that is or where it is coming from. Can you be more descriptive please?

Light blue map
 

No details like mountains, or dungeon layout just the POIs on a blue field.
Hard to get around without seeing details of map.
I upgraded to your version but the blue persisted

It's a game bug affecting a few people from last patch and will hopefully be fixed by next patch (supposedly fixed on test).

I believe it video card/video driver related.

Next patch
 

Thank you so much, good to know!

Endless Update Loop
 

Is anyone else having the problem of Downloading the update only to have the program prompt you to do it again in in eldess cycle? seems no matter what I try the update wont stick

Oh shoot! My bad, I didnt' change the internal version number... I'll get that fixed up in a jiffy!

I don't have my flash drive with me today so I just changed the version on the site back to the last one till I can get home and do a new build.

Where do you go for the update? I am only seeing update # 4 available and I keep seeing version X was released but it always downloads .4

if you go download the one listed you will have the latest one, I just forgot to increment the internal ver number.

Ok fixed the .exe to reflect 1.2 build 5 :)

While I like the clean look of the updater I have a problem with using it to start the Station Launcher:

As the Station Launcher and the game don't use the default path and also are on different partitions the option to use the Station Launcher did not work. So I tried to set the station launcher as an "other application" to start. Unfortunately you can't set parameters for an other application ("--game EQ2"). So that also doesn't work.

Mainly 'cause of this problem I still use the old updater.

I use the station launcher with it just fine I just don't have it open up to the EQ2 game. I'll look into adding the ability to add switches to the file.

Thanks! :)

Thanks again for the update! Works great now! :nana:

Works on my mac when the other EQ2maps would not, 5 stars from me;)

OMFG!!! Deleted 1.2.6 source!!! Thought it was eq2map the ui files.. /cry good thing I have 1.1. whatever... /sigh

Now to figure out what is missing.... /BODY::Face->palm!

Oooops :( That's an ouchie.

Use SVN or a similar revision control system. Too useful to not have IMO.

Also if you have not extensively written to your disk yet google a free undelete program and recover your files.

^^

Assuming the files are pretty small, you could still have a good chance of getting them back, assuming you didn't go downloading all kinds of stuff.

Probably use "C:\Program Files\EVERQUEST II" as the path to eq2. I haven't looked at the auto launch since they are forcing the new launcher. I just randomly update eq2map then run the launcher. I'll take a look at it and see if I need to add code for it to load the new launcher.

I've mentioned this in other threads, but AoD made some changes to the launch process. The biggest deal is that you must NOT call eq2.exe to launch the game because that will now break your setup. You must call launchpad.exe or everquest2.exe in the current EQII directory. Station Launcher is officially dead as well, at least for EQII.

I use EQ2Maps, but I never use the launch function myself, so I don't know exactly what it points to for that.

Ok here is what to do:
Just drag and drop your EverQuest2 shortcut icon (the one the new launcher made) in the the path field. The updater will get the path to the game from the shortcut. You can no longer use the station launcher option in the run options. You are now limited to Patcher or No Patch.

There is the possible (maybe) that EverQuest2.exe and LaunchPad.exe are not in the same directory?.?. If this is the case you'll need to use the path to EverQuest2.exe to get EQ2MAP to update correctly. If this is the case my Updater will tell you.

Maybe one day I'll get around to updating My EQ2MAP updater but I feel the mod community in EQ2 isn't being supported by SOE and I've long lost my drive to build/make/support my creations for this game.
