I noticed someone posted a partial log file, but so much was missing I decided to make my own from scratch. So here's the image for the map. I just need to make the .dds and test the zonerect, then I'll post those as well... hopefully sometime tonight.

So here's the code I'm using. I can't get it to show up at all when I am in the zone. I recently got Profit UI, but I don't think that would affect this or cause the problem.

<ImageStyle Name="exp05_dun_befallen_asylum" displayname="Befallen: Necrotic Asylum" menugroup="DLere" zonerect="-75,82,462,422">
<ImageFrame Source="images/maps/map_exp05_dun_befallen_asylum.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506" />
</ImageStyle>

That zonerect should work, but I was unable to get it who show up and test it. When I use the dropdown box to select the "Current Zone", it just shows "map unavailable" in the middle of the map window. When I try to go through DLere -> Commonlands there is no POI I can click even for the Necrotic Asylum, so I couldn't access it that way either.... what do I do??

No, ProfitUI is not affecting this. Also the POIs that link between the zones on the map are not created automatically, we do that manually.

You should still be able to select the map from the dropdown box. If it doesn't however show up when in zone and instead it gives you the EQ2MAP message about an unmapped zone that usually means that the internal zone name is incorrect (although it looks good to me...). Double check using /show_map2_style_name 1 before zoning it.

what else should I try?
 
I tried that and it showed exp05_dun_befallen_asylum_ , so what else should I try? I'm really stumped by this, it should have been really easy and straightforward.

update...
 
ok, so when I used the eqmaps autoupdater, it downloaded all the maps again and I realized that my game is now using a new directory for the maps. So I moved the map and the .xls file over to the new directories and now the map shows up just fine, but there is no cursor to indicate where I am on the map. I am pretty sure the zonerect I used works, but the cursor is nowhere on the map screen, so I'm not even just off by a little bit.. any thoughts? Are you sure it isn't something weird about ProfitUI?

Are you sure it should not be -82 in zonerect ?

Yes, but you are free to try without. :) Most likely jnils is correct and you made a typo somewhere.

jacobian163 03-24-2009 10:38 AM

you're probably right
 
yah, when I went to the back end of the zone, the cursors finally showed up on the screen at the top, so it's definitely a zonerect problem. I will check again and figure it out then post the right one so we can get this uploaded.

jacobian163 03-24-2009 10:47 AM

works now...
 
ok, so it was a typo. The zonerect is supposed to be -75,-82,462,422

gm9 03-24-2009 01:49 PM

Nice, has been added.

Oh and if you haven't seen the info, you can also now make maps in any size you like.

jacobian163 03-24-2009 02:01 PM

yah, I saw that my map is a little small... but I was getting lazy and didnt' want to have to mess with cutting it in half.

no I mean you could have just doubled the image in size or something like that. Something to keep in mind for the next map.

Great work.

Thanks for the map and the add to the patcher.
