unzipped both map and profitui into myui folder

deleted my custom ui setting files from main directory on each character.

results: nothing.

The only thing I'm a bit hazy on is that when I extracted these two zips, they made folders inside 'myui'. Fairly certain the instructions said not to have this. Unfortunately, the instructions are not precisely worded---catch phrases or other jargon are used in lieu of precise extrapolation. When it says 'unzip' to this folder, that's what I do. Nothing is stated that the unzip will create a subfolder---though of course, I know this.

Can I get some clear directions on this issue?

thanks

That's your mistake. If you want to use Profit and EQ2Maps here's how you do it.

Unzip ProfitUI straight to your EverQuest2 folder. The zip contains all the necessary folders to place the files where they need to be (chose "Yes" when asked if you want to overwrite any files).

After unzipping Profit you will have a few .ini files to chose from with popular setups for various resolutions. Simply rename them to reflect your character and the server you play on. Also, the eq2.ini you created will be overwritten with one that is set up for Profit so no worries there.

Now, to install EQ2maps you have a couple of options. If you downloaded the autmagic installer and updater just run the update program. It will read the new eq2.ini and install the files where they should be (inside the Profit folder). If not, browse to the folder where you installed EQ2maps earlier and copy the contents of that folder (one folder named "eq2map", one folder named "images" and a file named "eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml) to the ProfitUI folder.

And that should be it, basically. In your "UI" folder there should be one named "ProfitUI" and this is the one where you put all the goodies you want in the game.
