-To Install:
Before loading EQ2..
Copy contents of zip (1 folders) to an existing ui folder where eq2map is installed.
note: this plugin uses slot 5

-To Uninstall:
Delete plugin5.xml from the eq2map folder.
Delete the options folder from the eq2map folder.
Then copy plugin5.xml from the zip or run the autoupdater.

-To Choose options: Two Ways:
Before loading EQ2..
1. Manual
After installing you will have a folder named options in your eq2map folder..
Open it.. (Helps to view in list mode)
Inside that folder is 14 folders and 4 files.. You can open any of the folders
under options and copy the contents to options to use an option..

2. Assisted
There will also be an .exe file in your eq2map folder named EQ2MapTweak.exe..
It's a small dialog application that will do the copying for you..

-Thanks to:
Quib for adding the support needed to make plugins work and some of the
options included..

150 download not one comment.. Should I assume everthing is working correctly?

Well, I for one would like you thank you for providing these options. Being accustomed to pressing escape to close almost all of my windows regularly (very regularly in the case of the map), I was getting frustrated by the fact that I seemingly could not do it with this ever so cool map mod.

But, luckily I stumbled upon this and it was the answer to my prayers :) , so thank you very much and keep up the excellent work.

Closing the map window via the ESC button was removed due to requests. People wanted to be able to leave the mini-map up and not have it close until they clicked the X or pressed M.

I am one who likes the hit escape feature, mini-map? whats that
